cludes the building, with the plumbing,
electric wiring, and everything COM
plete. Benches and tables are pro-
vided in the main lobby, so that tour
lists may have facilities to write letters,
play cards, or sit before the large fire
place during such leisure moments as
they may have while staying in the
picnic or camping area Immediately adj
jacent thereto. Under no circum-
dations or commercial eating facilities
be allowed or provided.
up to the present time, fifteen sep
arate campgroundS have been either
completed or partially developed, and
now provide approximately ninety-five
separate camp sites and Seventy-five
individual picnic areas capable of TAX
| ing care of over five hundred picnickers.
Three small lighthouses or shelters have
been constructed, and one major bath
house and shelter have been completed.
1t is fully expected that with the con-
tinued use of trailerS and more people
coming to this area equipped with their
tents, bedding, and cooking equipment,
that a great deal more accommodation
of this description will be required to
meet the demands. The territory as a
whole is most delinquent in accomoda-
tons of this type, and yet the vast
amount of advertising this territory is
receiving is continually increasing the
number of people seeking this type of
recreation, and it appears to be our re-
sponsibility to expand this type Of de-
velopment.
In addition to the camping facilities
above outlined, we are endeavoring to
develop small camp sites on the canoe
routes in the interior, where rough
fireplaceS and tables, with some clear
ing for the erection of tents will be pro-
vided. In some of these cases, good
drinking water and sanitary facilities
are a requisite land where such can be
installed at a reasonable expense COM
mensurate with the amount of use, we
will endeavor to provide them.

now has in the campgrounds, bath

st. Charles-How would you like to
drop in on the old home town IS years
from now?That would be interesting
wouldn't it? Do you think you could
find your way around? Fred Steickel
now of Ellinwood, Kansas, made just
such a visit to his home town last
week And he had quite time orient
ing himself. Mr.. Steickel was born in
st. Charles in 1865 and he left here with
his parents in 1873. He did not re-
turn until last Monday when he spent
only a few hours here. However, he
did not stay long enough so that he
could fit into his picture of the st
Charles of more than half century ago
the buildings which this village now
has.

Merganser Family of Ducks Destructive;
Found to Be Menace to the Trout Streams

The three members of the mer-
ganser family of ducks can well be
named wild fowl without a friend. "
No one cares to fight their battles
for protection. Despised by the duck
hunters, considered by epicures as
unfit for food, condemned by fisher
men as a menace to our trout
streams, the merganser ducks,
called useless, destructive and pred
atory, are seriously threatened with
the death penalty, notes Albert Stoll,
Jr., in the Detroit News.
The thousands of conservation Of

the United States have been empow-

appear to be destructive to fish life.

HINT-OF-T THE DAY
For GIorified Eyes

From Paris comes new beauty
secret that does wonders in rejuve-
mating tired eyes. For the girl who
has read until the small hours to
finish a book, or for the lady who's
missed out on her normal quota Of
sleep, this new product Is said to
restore the sparkle of youth in a
jiffy.
It comes in the form of a jar full
of featherweight Mosques saturated
in solution that relieves eye ten
sion and tiredness and leaves the
eyes clear and radiantly alive.
You place one of the pads on your
eyes and lie down for five minutes
of relaxation. There comes q feel
ing of refreshing GOODNESS to take
the sting out Of tired eye-balls and
gently stimulate the skin area
around the eyes, where age and IA
tigue show first.
Best part of the treatment is that
good effect lasts for hours. The pads
are harmless.

the famed Tower of London. Nor

of another fort constructed by Jul

since as the royal palace, prison,
and, finally, as sort of an historical
museum and resting place for the

To Keep Neck
Beautiful

A few brief rules for keeping the
neck beautiful. Scrub it each morn
ing with a rich deep lather and
body brush, using a light rotary
movement. Rinse it well. Dry well.
Powder with the same shade of pow
der you use for your face. Remem-
Der your neck Is q continuation Of
your facet
At night cleanse it with light
cleansing cream. Then, with an up
ward movement, massage the skin
well, using a rich nourishing cream
or bit of mineral oil.
Whenever you think to do it, ex-
ercise your neck by bending it for
ward and backward and rotating it
slowly.
There is no beauty in hollow
shoulders or a skinny neck. You
develop them through exercise and
eat enough to fill them out. A SIM
pie exercise does wonders for both,
here it is:
Lie on your stomach across q
chair, balancing the body carefully
with feet and arms as if you were
swimming the breast stroke. Out
straight-slowly to the sides-back
until you feel pull on your Shout
der blades. Relax after a minute
or two and repeat.
OF course, the actual breast stroke
while you are swimming will do
more than anything else to make
your shoulders beautiful.

The examination of the stomach
contents of an American merganser
killed on the Boardman river proved
that this bird had just partaken Of
a ten-inch rainbow trout for his
breakfast. This is not unusual. It
is surprising how large a fish the
merganser can swallow with but lit

Possibly thinning in the ranks Of
the merganser is justified, but it is
certainty that ornithologists will
not countenance their complete ex-
termination.

around the room. "This's where it
happened, amt it?"
"Just outside the door there" she
said, after a moment. Elm the hall"
She passed him and opened the
door. "Out here" she said.
",She'd ben in here, hadn't she?"
Eyes" Linda fought to hold her
voice steady. "But-they found her
outside in the hail."
He came slowly toward her as
though to step through the door;
but on the threshold he paused, half
turned, set his shoulders against the
jamb to which the door was hinged.
Dunno as I need to look" he said
in a low tone. He stood with his
head a little lowered, staring
straight ahead, not speaking. The
silence seemed to Linda long. She
was numb with sorrow for him;
scarce heard him when he spoke.
Yet what he said was like crash
of thunder. "Guess here's where the
bullet hit, amt it," he asked, and
pointed, and looked at her inquir-
ingly.
Linda after a paralyzed moment
said hoarsely, "What?"
Fright here" he repeated. "The
bullet hole"
And he extended his hand. He
touched, she saw, the brass latch
plate set on the door jamb and de-
signed to receive the tongue Of the
lock. Her knees wavered, but she
mustered enough strength to 60 to-
ward him, almost staggering; to
look where he pointed. She bent
down, the better to see.
The latch plate had an opening in
bit, rectangular, perhaps an inch and
a quarter from top to bottom, some
thing over half an inch across. In
side this opening there was a re-
cess where before the plate was set
the wood had been chiseled out to
make slot into which the bolt slid
home. But there was more. There
was a round hole in this raw wood,
not very deep, somewhat discol-
ored; and Linda, leaning close, saw
that the edge Of this round hole
was marred as though a knife blade
had been inserted there to serve as
a pry, to pry something out !.
Old Zeke Wines said in a low
tone, "Bullet must have gone right
through the hole where the bolt
goes, never even touched the sides,
lodged in the wood there"

even now unless you peer in through

Wines meekly. ''I'll bid you good
day."
And he would have moved away.
But Linda came to life; her thoughts
began to clear. She caught his arm.
''No," she said eagerly. Don't 60.
Pleased Wait. This is important.

full drives toward Agamenticus."
She chung to his hand, so that he
felt her tremble; and suddenly she
was weak. "Stay with me, Phil"
she whispered. 'Oh Phil, Phil, be
always with mel"
81 will, mother"
"Mary's gone, and Barbara. I've
only you."
"You'll always have me-" he
promised.
81 don't mean to be selfish, Phil.
But I need you So"
"I'm here" he said again. "And
will always be-"
The logs burned bright, burned
low, were embers cooling to gray
ashes, before at last they went slow
ly up the stairs. Mrs. Sentry went
to Barbara's room.
"Just to be sure she's tucked in,
Phil" she said. "I've always done
that, since you were babies"
II know, mother"
But-Barbara was not in her
room. Phil felt a surge of anger
mixed with fear. Mrs. Sentry half
smiled.
Perhaps she's gone to Dan." she
said submissively.
Phil made his mother 60 to bed;
but he did not. He thought Bar
bara might be at Linda's home,
thought of going to see. Then, GRIM
ly, refrained. He at least would
stand by his mother here.
After while he heard car turn
into the drive in haste. He went
downstairs.
He saw Linda and Barbara in the
hall. Barbara was weeping terri
bly,; but Linda's eyes were like
stars. He stared at her, bewildered,
and as though he were baby to be
comforted, Linda took him in her
arms.
Hours before, that morning at the
Office, Linda's typewriter had been
Gathering as she typed the letters
Phil had dictated, when she became
conscious that someone stood beside
her. She looked up and saw a
shambling little man with absurdly
long legs that made him look like a
stork, and a smalIsbody and a small
er head perched atop them. Linda
had not attended Mr.. Sentry's trial;
did not recognize this man.
She rose and asked, ''Whom did
you wish to seer"
The man, confused and i'll at ease,
said doubtfully: ''Why, Mr.. Sentry,
if / could. Dunno as he'll want to-"
"And who shall ! say?"
"I'm Zeke Wines" He looked at
the other three stenographers, busy
at their desks beyond Linda, and
said apologetically, in lower tone,
as though the confession were a
shameful one: "You know. My girl
used to work here"
Linda heard the others quiet be-
hind her, listening. She tried to find
