Lake Weir. Aug. 1.-THE boys of
Oklawaha and all along Lake Weir
are very much enthused over organic
ing scout patrol, called Oklawaha
Scouts, with William Harrell as the
pioneer scout, Hugh Harrell, scout
master, and Hugh Blair as assistant
scout master. The girls later on will
organize campfire that they may
duck properly and make good coffee
and johnny cake. 1t is up to the older
people to help the boys along in any
way possible. As it is stated in the
bylaws the scouts must be backed by
either the school or Sunday school, so
It has been decided to start the ball
rolling next Sunday morning at Sun
day school. The headquarters will be
at the school house near the lake, that
the boys may be close by for their
athletic sports on land and water,
when an exhibition of skill is given
for the public.
The old residents of the lake are
delighted to know that Mr.. David
BrinIow and his sister of New York,
who closed their home on Silver Lake
just after the big freeze in 1895, are
now coming back to repair their home
and open to the public $50 acres of
land within a half-mile of Eastlake.
Their plan is to give away a number
of lots and put the others on sale to
their northern friends and all settlers
who will build not less than five
room residence on the lots. They do
not want the beautiful landscape
marred by shacks or tents.
Mr.. Hamp Chambers and crew
of men are working the roads from
Weirsdale to Ocala under the eagle
eye of County Commissioner Bruce
Meffert and you may be sure things
will go satisfactorily when you see
Bruce and his able assistants at the
helm. They are filing up the ruts,
smoothing down the roadbed after a
vigorous blowing, so it will be a
pleasure to take a trip to this part of
the county when they are through.
Carson Bradford and family viii
motor up from Miami this week to
spend ten days or two weeks at their
cottage on the lake shore.
Mr.. B. Baker, manager of the sand
works, has just returned from st. Pc
tersburg. where he spent several days
in the interest of the company.
Mrs. Tucker, son and daughter of
Ocala are spending several days with
Mrs. 3. Baker on the lake shore.

MAKE STONE WALL ARTISTIC
Everything Depends on Selection ot
Right Materials and Proper Care
in Construction.

In building the wall Of stone there
are 4 number of things to be observed
where success is desired. The wall
should be well bonded together, the lin
tells over the windows should be
strong, the foundations should be ade-
quate to prevent cracks. the method
Of laying should be artistic, and the
form Of jointing In harmony with 1t.
All native stones used for rubble
wall construction have certain char
acteristics of color and formation.
Certain stones viii split easily into
long, nat shapes, others break into
jagged. irregular patterns. while 9TH
srs are SO soft that they lend them
selves to easy shaping In squared
blocks of regular size. Sometimes,
even the neighborh0od may be filed
with round field stones, which can
be used to imbed into the face Of the
wall and produce a surface Of round
Jumps. Whatever is the character of
the native stone 1t should be used In
its simplest form and net forced into
imitation Of some other type. The
soft brown sandstones which are seen
in some colonial houses are easily cut
and squared but to cut up a hard
stone into such carefully shaped
blocks in imitation Of this colonial work
would not only be q waste Of money but
q waste of artistic effect.---The Con-
structiOn Of the Small House." By n.

The mess sergeant packed the
lunch, A, l. Reidling furnished the
ice cream and the girls did the
rest. AS a variation from riding
the big blacks Of Troop A around
in a circle on the drill lot, the new
riding club went for supper ride

The club of equestriennes was
accompanied on this ride, which

Claggett went along as the official
military escort. Sergeant Alex
Barnes, mess sergeant. put up the
lunches for the girls.
The girls assembled at the sta
bles in Old Town at $3.50 O'Clock to
saddle up. They rode in a body
to a spot about three miles out OF
the city, where they dismounted
for supper. A freezer of ice cream
which had been donated to the ar
fair by Mr.. Reidling, was already
there as a climax to the feast.
Under the instructions OF Ser
geant Claggett, the members OF
the girls are learning to be expert
riders. Equitation drill is given
each evening at the club meets
and then ride Is taken through

BATH TUB MAKES
STRONG APPEAL
TO BROWN BEAR

water development to save the
lives of stock is necessary at thou
sands of points throughout the
southwest on the open range" re-
marked a forest service official
yesterday. "In fact hundreds of
thousands of acres of fine range
would be unfit for use unless meas
ures to develop water in the form
of wells, springs. seeps and tanks
were taken" he explained.
"Windmills, tanks to catch sur
face flow, troughs and piping at
springs, even gas driven pumps are
some of the forms of these water
developments.
"Down on Rincon peak, on the
velopment put in by local stock
man consists of a large cement
tank shaped much like an over
grown bath tub. Water from a
spring keeps it filled and hundreds
of head of cattle patronize Its cool
refreshing supply daily.
zone day this week John Cary,
rancher, rode up to water his
horse. He never got there, how
ever, for his horse on smelling the
trough, suddenly went broncho.
When John gained control he was
100 yards down the mountainside.
"Dismounting he went back to
learn the cause of his horses sud
den fall from dignity. The reason
was apparent. Water from the big
tub was splashed over the nearby
ground, a number of coarse brown
hairs floating on the slowly rising
surface of the water in the tank,
and a trail of water surrounding
large tracks led from the trough to
the nearby underground. The con-
firmation of all this evidence was
the pungent odor lingering In the
even translatable by the human
nose. A large bear had just been
disturbed in the midst of his an
nual bath and had taken. modestly
perhaps, to the woods before the
horseman had reached the spot,
Gary knew then why his steady
old horse had suddenly deserted
his dependable habits but Is not
sure, he said, whether 1t was due to
inherent horse modesty that he SO
suddenly bolted the neighborhood
