HO0SlERS-SUCKERS ENJOY Pic
MIC; E. H. RAY HEADS ASSN

The annual midsummer picnic of
the Indiana-I Illinois Association was
held at Riverside Park Wednesday.
While the attendance was not as
large as usual, those who participate
ed enjoyed a perfect North Dakota
June day in the states most beautiful
park and declare that they spent a
most enjoyable day.
At twelve O'Clock, the picnic dinners
were spread and the tables groaned
under their loads Of fried chicken,
cake and other delicacies. North Da-
kots may have gone thru series of
poor crops, but the tables gave evil
dence of our living in the land Of milk
ana honey. If North Dakotans do
not fare any worse as far as pro-
vender is concerned, they will never
have reason to feel sorry that they
left the land of their birth to come to
the land of opportunity The writer
heard expressions from many who
stated that they had never regretted
leaving the states Of their birth. al
are well pleased with North Dakota, a
land that never fails when cultivated
crops are planted, land where the
diversified farmer grows wonderful
crops every year.
The refreshment committee got its
wires crossed and at 11:45 President
I.ingofelt phoned the writer an "SOS''
call saying the crowds were gathering
and there was no lemonade to drink.
An Illinois Indiana picnic without
lemonade is like a Norwegian supper
without ludefisk, so there was nothing
to do but to make that lemonade. Carl
Mason, 'Sunny Jim" Falconer and the
writer borrowed 2O-gallon jar from a
local store, bought four dozen lemons
and couple of sacks of sugar and
squeezer. The jar was dirty, so
couple of buckets of water were
dumped into it. The jar was placed
in the back Of the auto and while the
writer exceeded the speed limit, Fal-
coner washed the jar and Mason
squeezed the lemons. Billy Wilson
of the Pure Milk Co. donated a chunk
of ice which was tossed into the jar
and within five or ten minutes after
arriving at the park, the thirst of the
multitudes was being quenched. No
fatalities were reported, so the drink
must have been wholesome.
Several freezers of ice cream were
placed before the pcnickers.
At two o'clock the program was
opened Dy ". w. dHSolelC WIZ was
president for several years. In his
address, he praised the Indiana folks
especially, saying he could always
pick out Hoosier by his contented
expression. Mr.. Lingofelt was given
a rising vote of thanks for the splendid
work he has done as president.
Prof. J. H. Cotton was in charge Of
the singing, the crowd singing Hi
nois and the Indiana song.
The election Of officers resulted as
follows:
E. H. Ray, president.
John Kassens, vice president.
Lola Dierdorff, secretary.
VIM. Hadler, treasurer. 5. ~.
Program committee. H. Burns,
Sarah Brey and Mrs. Dierdorff.

ing, by forty businessmen with their
autos, where they nave gone into

-, They are in general charge Of E. c.
lug, athletic instructor in the Minot
schools, who is giving the Boy Scout
work considerable attention during the
summer. Carl w. Mason was busy
Wednesday, checking up on the BOYS
to see that they had their complete
equipment. D. D. Riley, Carl Davis
and other Boy Scout Masters will as
slst with the work at the camp.
The boys are all equipped with Pup
tents. which they will occupy for
sleeping quarters. The large pavil-
ion has been leased for the ten days
and this will be used in case Of rain.
Geo. Beatty, we'll known chef, who
made such hit with the boys last
year, is in charge of the culinary de-
partment again this year.
Henry M, Wilson placed a large or
der for groceries which is but small
beginning of what the lads will con-
sumo While in camp. Included in the
ratlons are lard, macaroni, spaghetti.
cream OF wheat, oat meal, rice, sago,
Jelly, prunes, corn starch, syrup, salt,
crackers, cookies, dried apples, cocoa

tea, coffee, two cases each of toiiiatoes
and corn, Post Toastie., catsup,
pickles, cocoa, pumpkin, SO Tbs. beans,
salmon, case of Pride milk, etc. The
boys are going to fare well.
Last year they were badly sun
burned. An effort will be made to
avoid much of this during the present
encampment. The lads were ia two
very severe storms last year, their
large tents being blown down and
torn. This year they can go into
the pavilion to sleep if it storms Sc
verely. They are over on the oppo-
site side Of the lake among trees, in
much berter location.
They will be kept very busy thruour
the day with drilling and athletic
stunts: Swimming will form prom
ment feature of the encampment. Ev-
cry lad will know how to swim when

TOAD GREATER ASSET

If only the ''hOp toad" had
wings, he would be a wonderful
bird" The lowly creature is valua-
BILE to gardeners, greenhouse owners
and golf course guardians in helping
to curb numbers Of insect pests, but
because he can't fly, the Biological
Survey Of the Department Of Agri-
culture says he isn't Of much eco
nOmic importance.
But, the survey declares, the toad
should not be destroyed for a certain
proportion Of his daily diet consists
of injurious insects and other pests
of growing plants. An analysis Of
the contents Of the stOmachs Of 500
common toads brings the report that
while the findings in regard to the
toad's choice Of food are Of interest,
the toad is not Of economic impOr-
lance because. he can't fly.

Unknown Persons Have Been Hurl-

Sheriff Guy Sherman and S. s.
Smith, county attorney, spent the day
in Herington Monday investigating
disturbances among the Rock Island
shopmen. The men now working in
the shops have been the victims of
annoyances of various sorts and the
chief complaint lately has been re-
garding the hurting of rocks into
their houses. Forty or fifty shop
men whose residences are downtown
have had rocks thrown in the Win
dows or on the porches, it is said and
several have mad narrow escapes
from being struck by the missiles.

is MATTER OF HEALTH
Christmas Seals Will Help Save
Lives Here

Several survey sconducted in many
counties where it appears that people
are reasonable healthy, show that
seventy-fve per cent are suffering
from correctable defects, which low
er their vitality, and make them fit
subjects for the tubercular germ.
Since the establishment Of the
National tuberculosis Association
over IA years ago, the death rate
from this disease has been greatly
lowered all over the country. In
Kansas alone over 800 lives were
saved in 1921. Every person in a
who has tuberculosis has
a right to know it, to be treated for
it and to be SO supervised that he
will not communicate it to others.
This service can be secured for
Abilene If the sale Of Christmas
Health Seals is literally patronized.
