Youngsters Put Strictly on

ACK-LADEN but happy, young
- Washington trudged up the
trail to camp headquarters at
Il Burnt Mills, registered, and
drew a number from kettle in the
middle of the board table, thus pick
ing its camp site by the laws of chance
so that there could be no question as
to favoritism In the ALLEGATION OF
good or bad camping grounds.
1t was the Boy Scout annual di-
visional camporee, and those patrols
that attained a certain rating became
eligible to compete in the Council
Camporee early in June for higher
honors.
It was their chance to put into
practice the things which they have
been studying in troop meetings
throughout the Winter, and for many
It was their first experience Of this
kind-therefore something in the ma
ture of an adventure.
I watched them pitch camp, putting
up their pup tents and laying out their
equipment in preparation for the test
of fitness. The wooded hillside swarm
ed with Flying Eagles" 'Panthers,"
Flaming Arrows" 'Rattlesnakes" and
what not-but don't be alarmed, these
are Just some of the names adopted by
| the Scouts for their patrols.
The sound of wood chopping, the
rustic of underbrush as sites were
cleared, and the earthly thud Of dig
ging garbage pits. sanitary pits and
drainage bitches around tents filled
the air, while dust-grimed, eager
young faces were marked In irregular
patterns by perspiration trickling
from youthful brows.
During the past month some 2,00o
Washington boys have staged their
camporees in preparation for the
Council Camporee, the Sd Division
with some 80 patrols having entered
the largest group.
What is camporee?
Why Is it held?
What do they do? 81
These, and few more questions
may be in your mind, and shall try
to explain it as it was told to me by

ct know many of the bureau chiefs
personally and We are all eager to
protect retailers from the unworthy
credit seekers" Althaus said.
CREDIT standing is little affected
~ in cases of real distress, such as
unemployment.
when a man loses his job and has
bills facing him he should call per-
sonally on his creditors and explain
the circumstances" Althaus says. His
failure TO pay promptly will not then
be regarded as breach Of faith"
Althaus points out that individuals
should not object to being interviewed
bv representatives from a credit bu-
reau regarding an open account.
MY attitude is this" he explains.
THE bureau must find out about my
reliability. I shouldn't protest. 1t is
better than finding out from my
neighbors, my employer or my land
lord.
Two types of persons resent most
being asked about their solvency.
those who are bad pay and the 'un-
toIchables.' The latter know they
ylll pay. even if they are carele,s.
The Credit Bureau only knows II they
neglect paving bills"
Domestic difficulties cause a con-
siderable portion of the bureaus credit
problems, Althaus says.
Mrs. Tom Jones of the Palatial
Apartments may go along for years
issuing checks by the 10th OF the
month. Suddenly she buys $500 worth
of clothes in the Fall, sends cheek
for $40 the next month, drops the
whole matter until Christmas is past
and then sometime in the Spring sur
prises the shop with another $40.
Upon investigation it is discovered
that Jones income has not been cur
| tailed. but that he has acquired new
wife. Such incidents resulted IN the
associations interest in divorce pro-
ceedings.
Mrs. John Roe's paying habits may
change radically. She is separated
from her husband, it Is discovered,
but is using her charge accounts, ale
though his income is no longer at her
disposal. The Credit Bureau has been
completely confused trying to tie ~
names and identities in few instances
by divorced couples remarrying, both
new mates being divorced.
DETERMINING which individual
~ of a married pair is the cause Of
financial responsibility threatens to

Althaus tells of the divorce Of
man and his wife, both wage earners
after their joint credit had been cut
off. The ex-wife arrived at the bu'
reau, saying, "I'll pay my bills now
NV former husband was the one whc
insisted on living beyond his income.

Being denied credit seems to be
harder to take, for the average per-
son, than any other unpleasant expert
ence of mankind. Althaus says. A
man may remain logical with his
home ablaze and reasonable in q
train wreck, but his Indignation Is

On that proud day when you open

director of the association. Chances

Upon that card you yourself write

the medium you employ.
That saga may follow you all over
America and tosforeign lands, being
available to credit men everywhere.
When you desire to carry merchandise
through department store door, with
no more than verbal agreement to
pay for it soon, the concern must have
some assurance that you are a person
of financial responsibility, Althaus
explains. Credit men supply the facts
and each store credit manager draws
his own conclusions.
Tradesman have learned from ex-
perience that it a man liquidates his
debts the first of every month, or
seldom gets around to it, or has never
yet paid bill, it is unlikely that he
will make an exception Of later credi-
tors.
THE man who has no intention of
paying when he purchases. the
mo pay" type, is rare, according to
Althaus. Most persons sincerely mean
to meet contracted obligations, he
says but some are prevented or delayed
In doing so by chronic attacks OF
optimism concerning how far their
salaries will stretch.

Fergus Falls-If you can boast
of more than 80 grandchildren and
three great grandchildren you are
in position to challenge the record
of Ferdinand E. Roger, Leaf
Mountain pioneer, near Fergus
Falls. Roger is the father Of 16
children, 13 of whom are still liv-
ing. Roger was in Fergus Falls
last week to appear before the
county board in connection with
his application for old age assis-
tance. The board granted him a
small monthly allowance. He is
"a years old. A native of Bavar-
ia, Roger came to this country
with his parents in 1868. They
spent year in Stearns county and
then moved to Leaf Valley in OF
ter Tail. The elder Roger pulled
logs by hand distance of three
quarters of a mile to build crude
log cabin. 1t was so small the
family had to set up their cook
stove outside, and whenever it
rained they had to go without the

BlOedOw Misses ShutOut Ii
Last Frame; Allows
Only 3 Hits

Scoring in the first and ninth
innings, while Redwood Falls
could dent the platter only once
on three hits, Wanda convincingly
took over undisputed possession of
second place in the Twin County
league Sunday afternoon with a
6 to l triumph at the fair grounds.
Bloedow, Wanda's be-spectacled
right handler, who had held Red
wood Falls to a lonely fourth in
ming single by Doc Worsech up to
the final frame, missed out on
deserve shutout when the home
towners put together hit bats
men and a pair of singles with two
gone to save themselves from a
whitewash.
Wanda reached Chuck Hansen
of the Gustavus college pitching
staff, subbing for Joe Bevan who
was participating in graduation
exercises at the St. Peter school
that afternoon, for nine hits bu the
kept them well spread out. The
visitors scored twice in the open
ing inning and as Hansen kept
shutting them out IN the succeed
ing cantos there was some glim-
mer of hope that Redwood Falls
would still be able to overtake the
down county team. However, all
prospects vanished in the ninth as,
Wanda crossed the platter four
times.
Redwood Falls was unable to
connect solidly with Bloedow's
slants and the pitcher kept his op-
ponnents rolling their hits to the
infeld or pushing the pellet past
the batter, getting in strikeouts,
the same number as Hansen. The
Scenic City nine threatened in the
fourth session when the bases
were loaded on Worsech's ground
single to left field, an error by the
third baseman on Hansen's border
and a free ticket to Matson but
Jim Keefe ended the inning by
flying out to- center field. In the
fifth the first two batters, Les
Skattum and Floyd Schmid reach
ed first safely, the former, on a
walk and the latter when the third
sacker took his sacrifice bunt and
threw wide to first but Bloedow
took care of the next three person
ally, forcing Clare Hauck to send
a pop fly to him, tossing out Elk
felt at first and whiting Worsech.
Redwood Falls also had men on
first and second in the eighth per-
iod with one down and again the
batting attack failed, Hansen,
however, drawing a few obs and
abs from the nearly 200 fans by
sending a long drive down the
left field line which at first ap-
peared bound for extra bases but
which the gardener took without
difficulty.
After Keefe and Skattum had
been retired in the ninth, Schmid
was hit in the back by a pitched
ball and Hauck looped a single
over short for Redwood Falls
second base knock and counting
Schmid who had stolen second.
Ekfelt followed with a line single
to left center, sending Hauck to
third but then was caught in an
attempted steal, ending the game
and nipping the rally.
Wanda's two runs in the first
came as Berberick led off with
single to center, pilfered second
and scored on Johnson's hit to the
same spot. The next two batters
were infield outs but Clancy threw
wild on V. Eichten's hopper, john
