All Delegates Attend District
Camn

! lamp
Miss Addie Ewart of the Kan-Rite
All club of Chesterhill, and Miss
Martha Cook of Malta left last Sum
day with Mr.. and Mrs. Eaton for
the district All camp in Knox
county. Miss Ewart and Miss Cook
| will receive instruction in camp fire
and vesper programs during the
| week, and will have charge of these
activities at the county All camp to
be held in August, at the Boy Scout
camp site in Morgan county, five
| miles down the river from Stock
port
Interest in the county camp is
running high this season, with ev-
cry evidence at hand that the goal
of 100 campers to attend camp fun
time, will be reached Your county
agent is most anxious that as many
adult club leaders and as many par
ents as possible arrange to attend
camp and assist in the leadership
work Each year this same plea is
made, but not as many adults have
attended as the agent had hoped.
Please make real effort to remedy
that situation this year. Every pos
sible effort is being made to reduce
the camp fee as much as possible
and still be certain that all costs
will be met. If a deficit is incurred
there is no fund to pay it from, so
the camp must be made self sup
porting financially. Four years ago
the cost was Sc per member, then it
was reduced to $5, and we are hop
ing it can be reduced to $4 this
year thought it may have to be
$3.50 per member per week. We
have to pay 81 per member per
week for rental of the camp, which
Immediately reduces the amount
available for food, equipment. sup
plies. paying the cook, etc., to a
dollar less than the camp fee. Ap-
plications for camp will be in the
mails in the near future and club
members are urged to sign the ap-
plications and return them quickly
SO that we may know as soon as
possible how many can be counted
on to attend camp.
4-H Field Day
Club members are urged to make
plans to attend the annual All field
day program to be held at the coun-
ty fair grounds, on Saturday, July
%. The program will be similar to
that held in other years except that
each club bring their own food and
eat by themselves.

Reader Writes Of Conditions

One of our subscribers sends us
a clipping taken from the Dayton

'In five western and northern
states, 4O,0O0,O0O acres of land,
one-fifth their total area, have pass

SPEEDY BOMBER
PLANES TESTED
BY U. S. CORPS
New Craft May 0utstrip
Pursuit Ships; Engines

DAYTON, o., Dec. 16.-A bomb
ing plane so speedy that it may out
strip the small fast pursuit ships Of
yesterday, making them obsolete. is
being tested by the United States air
corps at Wright field here.
The new airplane is the result of
improvements to the light Martin
bomber, XB-907, which. because of
its emphasized streamlines. was
dubbed the flying fish," when an
nounced last spring. The flying
fish, a semi-low wing monoplane
with metal fuselage and retract-
able landing gear, is powered by two
gines.
The engines are mounted in the
front edge Of the wing and are
equipped with cowiings, both of
these speed-producing features be-
ing developments Of research by the
national advisory committee for
aeronautics. II Is understood that
the new ship Is much like its prede-
cessor, With greater speed and ma
neuveTability.
although the air corps has not de-
scribed this ship, engineers believed
that its speed exceeds the 1876 miles
an hour achieved by the Boeing BE-
bomber. The Boeing plane, one of
: the best light bombardment air
planes, carries 1000 pounds of ex-
plosives. Larger, slower and clum-
sier bombers carry 1000 pounds.
The gap between the speeds of
heavy bombers and light pursuit
ships thus further is decreased by
the Martin development. A few
years ago pursuit planes could fly
circles around the bombers at speed
30 per cent greater than those of
the big ships, while now they do we'll
to overtake mombardment plane
flying only about 10 per cent faster.
Some observers see, in this evolu-
ton of bombers into smaller, faster
airships, the development Of a uni
versal battleship Of the air, with the
speed and capacity of a bomber and
the maneuverability of a pursuit
ship.

S|TKA'S MAYOR AND SCHREY ON
 BUSINESS TRIP
Three Mayors and Two Ex. Mayors Foregather at
 Political Talkfest

To spend a few days here vis- iting friends and attending to bus mess matters, Peter KoStrometin- off, Mayor of Sitka, and his inn mediate predecessor in that office, Fred Schrey, arrived here yester- day They will return home about the end of the week.
 Business conditions are quiet at Sitka, due largely to the abnor- mally low prices for all varietes eff fre5h fish. The outside market for all sorts of fish is shot to pieces and prices offered for them are not sufficient to make fish ing operations or mild curing prof itable, beth men agreed.
 Last week, the Ketchikan Chron- icle claimed a record when N. R.. Walker Thomas B. Judson and A. J. Dimond-three mayors of Alas ka communities met there. Juneau beat the Flr9s City record last night by two ex-Mayors. At an informal meeting of Democratic workers in the cHfice of s. Helen thal, Division Chairman, there were included Mayor Judson, Mayor Kcstrometinoff Mayor Dimond and Ex-NTayor Schrey and ex-Mayor James J. Connors, predecessor to Mayor JudSon.
 There might have been some disagreement among them about the comparative merits of the cities of which they are chief execu- tives. But there was none about the chances Of Mayor Dlmond Of being the next Delegate from Alaska to Congress. He was assured by the other four of their loyal support and their confidence in his success at the polls next Mo- vember.

NEW YORK, May 3.-A sprinkle of selling was sufficient to keep the stock market on the down grade today.
 The session was listless.
 Weakening of the dollar in for eign exchange markets was one notable development in the street and is generally attributed by banking quarters to obstacles en- countered in Washington in the way of budget balancing and the passage of the Goldsborough bill directing the Federal Reserve sys- tenn to endeavor to restore com mod.ty prices.

SCOUT FUND
 INCREASING
Local Residents Offer Fi- nancial Assistance for
 Summer Encampment

Response to the letters sent out last week by the Juneau Scout Council asking for donations have been gratifying, J. W. Lelvers, Treasurer, declared today.
 Each spring the Council writes to friends of Scouting in Juneau requesting small donations with which to take care of the heavy camp expences.
 This year it has been necessary to purchase a great deal of new equipment to care for the in- creased number of boys who will be at camp in June.
 Council Pays Most
 Each Scout who attends the En- campment pays less than one-half of his total expense. All costs over this share must be met by the Council. In addition there are some boys who are not able to contribute at all, and the full ex- penses of these Scouts is paid by Council.
 The Council has always made it policy to see that no Scouts were forced to miss the camp solely because of lack of funds. More money is required to finance the camp each year inasmuch as the number at camp is constantly in- creasing.
 Donors
 The following friends of the Scout movement here have been sent in their donations already:
 Chamber of Commerce, $100; Wcmen's Club, $1O; J. w. Stattler $lo; Mrs. l.. H. Metzgar, $10; Charles Hawke5worth $5; s. E Pope, $5; G. E. Krause, $10; R E. Robertson, $2O; Minnie Gold stein, $2O; B. M. Behrends, $20.
