Husband of Leone "Toodie"
Evans Has Interesting Ex-
periences at Honolulu

Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Pearsaul,
Geone "Toodie" Evans), the former
member Of Unclg Sans Navy,
are spending two years in Honolu-
lu. Ed in a recent letter to Mr.. and
Mrs. Evans graphically and inter-
estingly describes trip he and his
shipmates made by boat and sea
plane to islands in the Honolulu
territory. Excerpts from tbs let
ter follow:
Dad, took trip or rather the
ship to which I am attached made
cruise to French Frigate Shoals
Just before Leone arrived that I
though might interest you.
The islands we visited are about
600 miles northwest from here, ar
rived in the early morning on April
20. La Peruse Pinnacle looks ex-
actly like a French Frigate under
full sail, hence its name, French
Frigate. Early on the morning Of
the 23rd we made an exploration
trip Of the many islands and
shoals. The beauty Of La Peruse
Pinnacle standing In the radiance
of an early morning rainbow can
not be described. There were sew
en- of us in a small boat and we
were no sooner underway than we
noticed hundreds Of porpoise at
play off our port bow. They will
follow a ship by the hour. We were
all UP in this bow Of our 40 foot
motor launch ready with our spears
and lines for the first thrilling cry
from our look out Of shark ahead"
The enclosed picture Is proof Of our
success and no fish story, 1t was
the smallest one Of the several we
caught but could not hold the larg-
err ones up for a picture.
The many colored reefs Of coral
magnified through the crystal clear
tropical seas to a depth Of several
fathoms. After several attempts
we managed to anchor our small
boat near enough to the shore to
permit of speedy swim and run
to the safety Of the sandy beach
beyond the lightning like rush Of
the myriads Of sharks which would
head for us as soon as you hit the
water.

CONTESTS WERE CLOSE
Lads Were Fed Six Meals At
Cost of About 60 Cents
Each

The Scout camporee held at Fairy
Lake on Friday, Saturday and Sun
day was attended by 63 Scouts
which was more than was expected.
The st. Cloud boys out-numbered
the locals somewhat and were all
experienced Scouts, whereas the
nine boys Of Troop 60 were all Of
tenderfoot rank, except the senior
patrol leader. They made a very
creditable showing in competition
and while they did not win first
in any Of the events, they were
very close second in several. The
II events were:
1. First Aid.
2. Nature Study
3. Archery.
4. Mapping, ,....
.. Pacing.
6. Fire Making.
z. Camp Making.
8. Signaling and Knot Tying.
o. Cooking.
10. Camp Inspection.
IL. Leadership.
IL. Camp Demeanor.
The camp was under the direc-
ton Of Scout Executive John D.
Virgins, assisted by Joe Schmidt,
scout commissioner Of the head
quarters district. It opened offic-
tally at noon Friday and closed at
500 p. M. Sunday afternoon. The
boys were free to obtain Scout in
struction and there were IL COM
petitive events which were run
continuously through this three
days, thus affording an interesting
time. Judging from the enthusiasm
shown, it will not be surprising IL
another three day camporee will be
held in the fall.
Among those in attendance were
Valentine Fandel of Troop 2, st.
Cloud, and Clayton Anderson, of
Troop 3, the two boys who will rep
resent the Central Minnesota area
at the International Scout jamboree
which will be held in Budapest and
Godollo, Hungary, the first two
weeks in August. These boys will
help to make up Region 10 Scout
troop under the leadership Of w. w.
Dunning, Of Duluth, who will act as
Scoutmaster on the trip. At this
jamfboree there will be scouts from
practically every country on the
globe, for scouting today is not on
ly international in scope but has the
largest enrolment of any organi-
zation which Is international. Such
an organization should be, and with
out doubt is, an important factor in
working toward the abolition Of
conflicts between nations.
In the twelve contested events,
each scout represented his troop
and the awards were made to the
troop rather than to the scout.
Troops 1 and 2, of st. Cloud, and
troop Is, Of Sank Centre divided
these events equally between them,
each troop receiving four awards.
Troop IS was no runner-up for these
events. In fact, If second and third
places were taken into considera-
ton, they gathered more points
than either Of the others, nearly ran
off with five instead of four events.
They tied with troop 2 for archery,
losing the event in the run-of OF
the tie. Troop % was awarded

munity Suffer AS Heated
Spell Is Broken
NO ONE WAS INJURED
Elements Strike With Con-
siderable Violence in Spots
-Fredericks Hard Hit

The extreme heated spell with
been suffering for days was broken
Tuesday afternoon about 2:30 when
a rain, hail and wind storm cover
ing a wide area, hit Sank Centre
and community. Some sections
suffered severely from hail; others
from wind; wide areas received q
deluge of rain, and other sections
within a radius Of short distance
had little or no rain; no hail and
very little wind.
The Herald editor covered this
territory in an endeavor to get a
true line on the damage wrought.
Reports circulated about the city
Tuesday evening that dozens Of
barns, silos and other outbuildings
were RACED. That may be true, but
this number fell far short Of the
Herald's investigation.
This the editor did find: the
storm was very spotted in its Sc
verify. There were no deaths to
man or beast as far as the editor
was able to ascertain, and no one
was injured.
Tuesday evening the editor visit
ed Stiles, or Rorobaugh farm, four
miles west of the city on old High
way No. 3, occupied by the Freder-
icks family. The full fury Of the
storm, particularly hail and rain,
conferred at this point. It was a
cloud burst. A half mile to the
west there was little or no rain; no
hail and very little wind.
The Fredericks family had 202
acres in crops Of various kinds. The
storm completely ruined it. There
isn't cent of insurance, it is un-
derstood. Ten panes of glass were
broken on the south side of the
house and the hail pounded through
the roof; causing great inconven-
fence and loss in the home.
The barn and other buildings are
not very rugged. A silo on the west
side of the barn was blown down.
A wind mill standing at the east
end of the barn was also RACED.
When the storm broke large stock
truck was standing in front of the
windmill. The wind was so strong
that the truck was pushed to the
north into the willows, a distance
Of probably $50 feet. After the
truck had been moved the windmill
was blown down. Another silo
standing to the northeast Of the
barn, was badly twisted out of
shape.
Several windows were broken in
the home Of I. w. King a short dis
lance west of the Frederick's.
The stock barn, 40x60, with Is foot
posts, with silo on the south side,
was completely RACED on the Fen
ton Parker farm, about six miles
southwest Of the city. None Of the
other outbuildings were damaged.
Several trees Of good size were
blown down in the yard. Mr..
Parker had $500 insurance.
About a quarter Of a mile Of tele-
graph poles along the Great North
ern parallel with Highway No. 8,
were blown down about 81 miles
west Of the city.
A report was current that much
damage was done in the Fairy Lake
country. A drive around the lake
disclosed that the farm Of Oscar
Lying, five miles west of the city
on Todd County u road. was struck
pretty hard by hail and his crops
quite badly damaged. Sixteen win
dow panes were broken in the out
buildings.

Fewer Millionaires

These rcverse-boom years have wrought havoc in American milionairedom. While common folk are deploring their own shrunken incomes, it - only fair to con- sGer the plight of the millonalres There were enough of them in 1928 to make, with their families pretty big city. The millionaire incomes" reported in that year, of $50,000 and up, totaled 43, 1884. About half of that number are said to have actu- ally possessed capital of $l000.000 or more and the rest had income which however, de- rived, represented the earning power of that much capital. Last year there were left of the golden army ony 10,779. their net tax able income had sunk from more than 6.000,000.000 to a mere billion and a quarter. In the same three-year period the individual incomes of $1,000,000 a year had dropped from 5l to 75.
 Earnings have doubtless fallen off more during l932 than they did in l93l. Thus the next list of financial casualties may be still more impressive. This. at least, must be said for the present business plague-lt has been impartial. treating all classes pretty much alike. The rich have probably lost in proportion to their wealth, no less than the wel-to-do and the poor. They may have lost more.

Not Enough Results

v Recent investigations of the expenditures of various governmental agencies have re- vcaled glaring grabs. With economy in government absolutely necessary in these days it behooves the incoming administra- ton to wipe out much of this abuse of the public funds. When we read that Uncle Sam has spent Sl8.000.000 since the World war trying to curb the European corn borer we really wonder what kind of "saps" the taxpayers are after all. It wouldn't be bad if the situation was well in hand but as it stands to-day the corn borer is just as much a source of worry and annoyance to farmers as it ever was. And in addition we have dozen or more cousins that are wreaking havoc among crops.
 When government experts CD claim that they need $l25, ,000 10 procure other Eu- ropean parasites that will feed on the corn borer it is high time to investigate. And certain legislators who have the interests of their constituents at heart did that very thing. They found that regions where the corn borer has not yet penetrated need only strict quarantine placed around their ter ritory. And the cost of this IS far less than that of importing few more pests that undoubtedly would like the country so well we could never get rid of them once their work of exterminating the corn borer was done.
 In l932, according to reliable estimates Uncle Sam spent $l, l40, 900 on the corn borer. It's too bad the moth can't swell up with pride and burst. That at least would save us some expense because the borers don't demand expensive funerals such as we ordinarily give our departed con gressmen. The figure above represents just three times the cost of the damage the borer did in the United States. This year the department of agriculture gets only S250.- 900 for corn borer control. By all means rid the nation of its myriad of damaging pests. but don't take the opportunity to make racket of this business.
