THE CROSSROADS STORE
Committee of Tyndall's Camp

A wonderful place was the cross
roads store,
The kind we used to see,
Where we carried our baskets of
new laid eggs
And traded them off for tea,
For sugar, and salt, and laundry
soap,
For needles, and nuts, and under
wear,
And buckets and pans and pals.
We liked to trade at the crossroads
store,
Where the farmers came in flocks,
With rolls of butter so fresh and
new,
To barter them off for socks,
For candy, and cakes, and chicken
feed,
For shovels, and shoes, and beans,
For indigo and sapolio,
And molasses from New Orleans.
1t was great to trade at the cross
roads store, q.
The staple lines of goods,
Where oVeralls and hand-me-downs
We're kept with the breakfast
foods;
With home grown foods and calico,
With goods for the gingham
frocks,
With plows, and pumps, and garden
tools,
Along with bolts and locks.
If you've never dealt at the cross
roads store,
You've missed a lot, l see,
And the folks who have will bear
me out,
l think we'll all agree
A wonderful place was the cross
roads store,
AS it stood in the days of old,
Where we traded our butter and new
laid eggs,
For the merchandise they sold.

Tuesday was Children's Day at

huge crowd remained for vaudeville
performance and fireworks which |
were the concluding feature of the
days events.
, Despite a drizzling rain, the
grounds were swarming all day with
visitors who visited the various ex-
hibits and watched the races. Long
before the gates were opened there
was a steady stream of persons,
afoot and in automobiles making
their way to the fair grounds. The
low hanging clouds appeared to
have no influence and even after the
rain started the crowd continued to
grow. This was the first time in
many years that rain marred the
iair.
Judging of the various exhibits
was started early Tuesday and was
continued until all the wards were
made. ,

CAMP FIRES

When camping always carry a re-
serve supply of matches in a we'll
corked bottle or watertight can,
says the United States Forest Serv-
ice. When you are ready to start a
camp fire, shovel away all ground
litter within a radius of to 5 feet
of your fireplace. Do not under any
circumstances place your fire with
in 10 feet of standing trees, or
against fallen logs, or tree roots.
Keep away from overhanging
branches, and build your fire on an
earth or rock foundation. Dig a
small hole for the fire and place
rock on each side. A few iron rods
about 3 feet long, to be laid across
a fire to hold cooking utensils, are a
useful addition to a camp outfit.
Cook over a small concentrated
fire, burned down to a good bed of
red Goals. You might also carry
one of the old-fashioned cast-iron
Dutch ovens, or a 2-burner gasoline
stove. You can make a small but
efficient camp stove by filling
large coffee can half full of sand or
earth and pouring in a cupful of
gasoline. Punch or 4 holes in the
can just above the level of the sand.
A cupful of gasoline will burn 4O-50
minutes, enough to heat water or
soup.
In wet weather you can probably
find dry sticks for kindling among
the small dead branches of green
spruce timber right against the tree
trunk. In aspen timber you may be
able to locate a small standing dead |
pole or inches in diameter Split |
it up and make kindling from the |
center. Another help in starting a |
camp fire is tablespoonful or two |
of sawdust dampened with kerosene.
A good axe and a shovel are neces-
stiles on any camping expedition.
Burn all papers and cartons in
the camp fire, and when you leave,
put the fire out by stirring water,
and lots of it, into the ashes. AL
ways be sure your fire is out-dead
you break camp.

South Main St.
 Man Still Held
 For Investigation
Original Charge of Operating Without License May Be Added to Pending Seriousness of Injuries to Little Girl, Hit By Car-Took Car For Demonstra- ton, But Failed to Return on Time

City court officials declined to accept for final disposition the plea of guilty as entered this morning by Rosario Arvisais, 27, of BAT South, Main street, who was charged with operating motor ve- hicle without a license. Another complaint that of obtaining mos tor vehicle under false pretenses was dismissed.
 Judge Edward Mascolo in or- derfng continuance of the case Cor one day suggested to the police that a more thorough investigation should be made of all cases ir- volving personal injuries. The po- lice, after arresting Aryisais and filing two counts against him, wiicih resulted in him being de- tained under bonds of $2,000, ap- parently reached the conclusion that they had done their bit and 1t was up to court officials to follow through. Judge Mascolo on hear ing that the victim of the accident, Fern Dixon, 5. of 36 Jewelry street was more seriously injured than first reported passed the case back to the police. It was immediately assigned to the detective bureau for Investigation, Lieutenant Will liam Pollard taking charge.
 The. accident occurred Monday evening on South Main street. Arr visais went to a local automobile agency and showed interest in a car. He took it for a demonstra- ton as his sister was the prospec- tive buyer. The machine was to be returned at 1880 o'clock Mon- day afternoon, but Arvisais claimed that he hadn't yet met his sister. He was given until s o'clock. When he failed to return the agency checked up on him and found him driving around the city. It was also discovered that he had given some very evasive information in identifying himself. However, be- fore he could return the machine it became involved in an accident in which the little girl was injured. The report given to the police stated that she was not badly hurt. In court to-day 1t was inti- mated that she was seriously and
