yond a doubt that he is the
actual slayer.

said to be the gun used in the
killing, was recovered from

encampment. The entire camp will
function as a military organization
under field conditions. The infantry
and cavalry regiments will operate
as brigades, the auxiliary troops and
units viii function as such, thereby
giving the guardmen actual exper-
fence in the roles they are listed for
on war department records. Hereto
fore, the practice has been to out
line a course of drill and instruction
and all men and units take the work
regardless of what they were organ
lied for.
While the encampment begins Sat
friday morning, July II, drill will
not start until Monday morning. The
first two days in camp will be devot-
ed to getting comfortable, unpacking
and fixing up camp. Sunday services
will be held.
Monday morning at 5:45 a. M,
first call will start the weeks work.
Breakfast is at 6:15, with drill from
1920 to 1870 a. m. Dinner is at
1915 p. M, and the days mounting
CT the guard, at 2:30 p. m. The units
that are not on guard will pass the
afternoon in sports, games and
athletics. At 9:45 p. m. taps will
be blown and everyone except the
sentries must be in bed.
There will be movies every evening
with band concerts. The second
Saturday and Sunday in camp will
be visitors days, and the boys will
be urged to invite their folks and
friends down to camp for days
visit. Special exhibitions will be put
on for the benefit of the visitors and
the new guardsmen. July "a, will be
Governors day, when Gov. Blaine
will review the entire encampment.
A number of high ranking regular
army officials will visit Camp Doug
las. The first will be Maj. Gen.
Farnsworth, chief of infantry OF the
United States army. Gen. Farms
worth will come from Washington to
Camp Douglas and remain for the
first three days of the encampment.
One of the big features of the
sports program will be the competi-
ton between the 127th and 128th in
fantry regiments for the champion
ship of the Gath infantry brigade in
field meet.

section and company, medical regi-
ment, supply and headquarters units.
The second encampment will COM
prise all the artillery and its auxil-
larry units.
This encampment completes Adjt.
Gen. Immell's first year as COM
mander of Wisconsin's citizen army.
There are number of interesting
innovations that will be put into eff
feet at this encampment. The first
is the basic order that the actual
drilling of the soldiers will not ex-
coed 36 hours week. Drill will be
done only in the morning. The
afternoons will be devoted to games,
sports, exhibitions, parades and cere-
monials. There will be no drilling
done after the noon meal. An ex-
tensive program of sport activities
covering every afternoon of the two
weeks has been completed under the
direction of Lieut.. Col. Earl S..
Driver. Moving pictures have been
arranged for with the state univer-
sity extension division for nightly
entertainment, home town news
papers are to be provided and a
series of athletic competitions will
be staged.
In addition to all this, every day
will see formal full-dress parade in
the evening by different unit led
by the various Guard bands and re-
viewed by the commanding officer.
Still another new phase has to do
with the professional activities of the

form of insecticide has proved de-
cidedly successful in the control of
the beetle during two years trial.
| The time to kill the beetles, easily
and quickly and in large numbers, is
when they first attack the small
plants. A few good puffs of dust on
the first beetles will kill 95 per cent
of them and prevent the thousands

contain at least per cent of nico-
