OUTDOOR LIFE ASSOCIATION URGES
DEVELOPMENT OF AUTO CAMPING and
PROVISION OF MORE EhlTERT AINMENT
FOR GUESTS AT RECREATIONAL CAMPS
Recreation Industry is Increasing in Importance
in America

great percentage of the vacationing
public, does not know how to play. The
youth knows and loves his sports-his
older generation has forgotten them.
AS a result of this conclusion, the
Association, through it's Directors and
Board of Managers composed of rep
resentative members of the recreation
industry throughout the country, has
led campaign for the coming sum-
mer that will, it is expected, teach the
American business man how to enjoy
his vacation as he has never enjoyed
it before.
As the result of a series of meetings
held in northern Wisconsin this fall
and winter, resort owners in that Sec
ton of the country have been I'M
pressed with the necessity of provid-
ing new occasions and new opportun-
tiles to play for their guests through
a program of organized entertain
ment.
Let US take the case of the average
business man, if there be such per-
son, who goes to lake resort for sew
eral weeks of vacation in the summer
time. He has passed the age when
the mere presence of lake with boats
and canoes and fishing and swimming
enough to excite him into immediate
and constant use of the playground
that is so suddenly spread before him.
He would like to fish but perhaps he
is not a natural-born fisherman who
has retained his love for 1zaak Walt
on's pastime through the busy years
of a business carer. In his youth he
played baseball but he has long since
given up baseball except as a spec
tator; he is interested in tennis or,
likewise, only as spectator-as
matter of fact he has become, like
millions of his class, spectator OF
sport and not sportsman.
To draw this man into the active
stream of outdoors recreation, to
teach him the value of the old slogan
that "it pays to play, is the problem
of the forward-looking resort owner.

By Rockwell R. Stephens, Chicago
cit pays to play has been a slogan,
the Importance of which has never
been overlooked by the recreation in
dustry that is playing such an in
ereasingly important part in American
life. During the past two years, how
ever, leaders in this recreation in
dustry have realized that true as the
slogan may be, it was nevertheless
necessary to do something to it to
make it effective as far as the hum
dreds of thousands of people who take
vacations every summer might be con-
cerned.
The fact that American vacationists
must be taught to play has become in
creasingly apparent to the wide mem
bership of an association originally
formed to promote conservation and
the idea that "it pays to play" The
object of the Outdoor Life Associa-
ton of America when originally form
ed at the Third National Outdoor
Life Exposition held in Chicago last
May, was to promote better appre-
citation and wiser use of the out
doors. 1t has as its objects, to en-
courage and foster C. more universal
indulgence in the great outdoors-the
promulgat On cf scenic and recreation
al attractions of Misunderstanding,
hunting, cs-nping CIT of doors and in
diligence in aquatic sports-the con-
servation Ct forests and wild life and
especially the prevention of forest
fires and, finally, the promotion of the
slogans "See America First" and
"Know Your Native Land"
But in the space of a short six
months, members of the Association
recruited from leaders in the recrea-
ton industry, found that while the
objects of the Association were still
defined and appropriate to the needs
of the recreation industry, they would
fail of their attainment because of a
single outstanding fact-America
must be taught to play. In spite of
the tremendous development of auto
camping, in spite of the increasing
attention being given to both amateur
and professional sport and by the al
most universal participation in these
sports by the youth of the land, the
Association still finds that the Ameri-
can business man who constitutes a

WHO PAYS?

You will believe advertising is too expen-
sive to justify it's returns, listen to this:
Twenty-eight years ago the makers of a
watch produced cumbersome but accurate
article priced $3.50. Without advertising,
they sold that first year 10000 The next
year, with a little tentative advertising, they
sold $1,000. Encouraged they increased
the factory and distribution, reduced the
size of the watch, priced it S1.00, made
reasonable advertising appropriation
sold 485,000
When the makers Of a famous camera be-
gan advertising thirty years ago, they made
one camera which took 212-inch picture,
and sold at $500. In 1917, that time of the
distressing upward trend Of prices, these
people made better camera that sold for
$10
Who pays for the advertising? Or does
the advertising pay for itself?
And what good advertising executed in
attractive print did for the watch and the
camera, it can do in some measure for your
product
Let us talk with you about the promotion
of your business through Carbon County
News advertising.

possible restorative to be thought OF
was given him. He refused intoxi-

water to him he became violent. His
wife, poor thing, was frantic. Physi-
clans who were called at various
places along the way were baffled but
none of them could offer any hope
After whispering, II want drink" he
seemed unable to finish the sentence
and would lapse into state bordering
on coma.
They carried him from the train, in
quandry as to whether to call doc

however he seemed to revive and mo-

to take what she thought was to be

parting to her who had been his help
mate, his sweetheart for so many,
many years. They were not old, but

children they had played by the river,
and in her heart she held him locked in
love; from him her mind had not
wandered to another; no smile save
his had sent to her midnight dream
nor at morning stored her mind with
joyous visions.

The face of bystander lighted up

"Why," he said, "He wants drink of
Red Lodge water. We don't drink any
thing down here that we don't get
from Red Lodge. They even ship it
down here by the car load", and he ran
to get jug of it.
Shortly after the sun arose next

a restaurant for breakfast. They were
strangers in Billings. She gave her
usual order but the man simply said

While motoring to Yellowstone Park
by way Of the new macadamized Red
Lodges Cooke City Highway last Sat
urday evening, party of Red Lodge
people rounded a curve about eleven
miles beyond Richel Lodge and came
upon an auto standing in the center Of
the road. A woman and two children
were in the car and the driver, man
about fifty years Of age, was walking
back and forth across the road, wiring
ing his hands, tearing his hair and ap-
parently in serious trouble.
When asked what the matter was
the troubled man would cry at the top
of his voice, "My Gawd! I'm lost" like
a man who had bet four jacks against
a royal flush. 1t seems that he and
his family had left the Canyon Hotel
that afternoon to tour the park and
expected to return there for the night.
As they came this way the scenery in
creased in beauty and grandeur and
passing Cooke City he had every rea-
son to believe that he was just getting
into the park instead of leaving it.
However when he was apprised of his
geographical position he drove on in
to Red Lodge, had supper, attended a
good show, stayed all night in COM
Portable hotel and had drink or two
of the purest water in the world. The
next morning he bought large supply
of groceries at reasonable prices,
logged his wife out with new dress,
purchased suit each for the children,
had his car worked over, filled her up
with gas, loaded up the family and
headed back where the tall corn grows,
fully satisfied that he had seen the

Just at present in the city of Chicago,
a change is taking place which deserves
more than passing notice. The great w.
c. T U. temple, which stood at the cor
ner of LaSalle and Monroe Streets, is
being wrecked in order to give place to a
great bank The Temple was only twelve
stories high, and the bank will be twenty
five or thirty.
This is parable of what is taking place
since prohibition came. The Temple, in
its early days, was one of the sights of the
city, and always has been a building of
unusual beauty. No one knows how many
prayers and how many personal sacri-
fees were built into its massive walls of
brick and stone. In the arch-way at the
side, are the stones bearing initials of all
the States that contributed to the erection
of this famous structure. 1t was a fine
monument to the great work done by the
w. c. T. u. and to our mind, it is great
pity it could not have been left standing
as a monument to the heroic and patient
service of that great and blessed organi-
cation.
But the rush of modern business is so
great, and the prosperity SO high, that
million dollar building can be sacrificed
to give place to one better adapted to the

needs of Trade, at cost of several mil
lions.
The prosperity, which the advent of
Prohibition has produced is crowding out
the relics and recollections of the prophets
who produced it. That's always the way
of the world Doubtless, it should be re-
garded with equanimty. The greatest re-
ward of unselfsh service, is the benefcent
results which it produces. With these, the
worker must be largely content.
Let us pause to thank God that the
Women's Temple is not being replaced by
a brewery, or a saloon, or anything con-
nected with the liquor interests or de-
pendent upon them.
The machinery employed to bring about
prohibition, may be relegated to the past.
With the tremendous impulse it has given
this country, we move on with increasing
speed. With something of the same en-
thusiasm which marked the activities of
the w. c. T. U. crusaders in the early
days, we must push forward to deal with
the moral and civic problems that con-
front this generation.
SO here's a tear for the passing of the
Woman's Temple. Here's high resolve
for courageous and far-sighted graphing
with the problems of today "Hats off to
the Past Coats off to the Future"
