BELOW IS TOLD A FEW INCIDENTS
OF A HAPPY TRIP TO THE HILLS
OF BOY SCOUTS OF THIS CITY
First Word of the Exodus of Drumright Boy Scouts to Nature's
Garden on the Spavinaw Reaches the City by
Drivers of Cars and Friends Who Accon*-
panied Them on Their Trip
Fishing in clear sparkling water
whefe you can see 'em bite away m
the depths, swimming and wadipg
and diving and boating, hunting in
the woods and living under canvass
there, are thirty-three of the boys of
Drumright under the open heavens
among the mountains and rivers and
lakes of the Spavinaw.
Trip of -125 Miles
The first word of the Drumright boy
scouts on their ten-day trip reached
Drumright late yesterday when a
number of Drumright men who help-
ed to move the troops returned to the
city. They tell of a joyful eventful
trip of more than 125 miles in which
the youngsters thoroughly enjoyed
themselves, if the drivers of the au-
tomobiles did have to fight their way
in miles and miles of rain and mud
over part of the route. Boys don^t
nvnii rain and mud, and they didn't
have to drive cars anyway.
The start was made early Monday
morning fro nithe flag pole just as
the sun was commencing to streak
the eastern sky with the colors of the
dawn. Everything was well prepared
and until the cars got beyond Tulsa
the trip was uneventful.
Stuck To Old Commissariat
First and foremost in the estima-
tion of the gang was the heavy track

Not far beyond Tulsa the caravan
ran into rain and hence bad roads
It was then that the drivers had

heavy-loaded cars . Almost every
vehicle was stuck at least once and
had to be pulled out.—except the
truck. It logged right through with its
load of boys, of eats and of sleeps.

Drumright lias reached a stage
in Its growth where there is a
need for an organ zation of some
kind to look after the welfare of
our girls. Why not a woman's
organization to foster u girls'
community club? Such an organi-
zation could give the girls valua-
ble information of womanhood
anil at the same time could afford
a social outlet which would tend
to keep the girls in the proper en-
viroment.
The ordinary human craves so-
ciety. A certain amount of re-
creation and amusement is ab-
solutely necessary. If cur girls
cannot get the right kind, they
will eventually have the wrong
kind. There Is nothing to hinder
the organ'zation of a girls' com-
munity club, and no good reason
why we should not give them the
attention they deserve and the
protection they need. Membership
in the girls' community club
would be a badge of honor , a
shield of protection and a soruce
of happiness.
Perhaps no other city in the
I'nited States has achieved what
Drumright has in the past seven
years, hut we have neglected
the social development in a
measure. There are too many
strangers in our midst. There is
a need for an avenue through
which we may be brought closer
together. The same applies to our
girls. There is much to be gained
from mutual helpfulness, the
right kind of friendship and good
fellowsh'p.
HEALTON HAS $100,000

(By Associated Press)
Kansas City, Aug. IT— Damage esti
mated approximately at half a million
dollars was caused early today when a
large plant of the Kelley Milling
Company located in the east side in-
dustrial district was destroyed by
fire.
The plant is suposed to have been
struck by lightning during an electric
storm. It is one 01 the largest cf Its
kind in the city, tlje main structure
consisted of seven stories, elevator
and several other smaller bu Idings.
An investigation showed that a
lightning bolt had struck in a chute
leading from the elevator to the mill
buildings. Because cf the rapidity
which the fire spread, firemen said
they believed grain dust must have
been ignited.
According to Arthur B. Kelley,
president of the concern, the plant is
worth half a million dollars and in-
sured. Kelley said the mill had a
apacity of 25,000 barrels of flour
daily and the elevator would hold
300,000 bushels of jjrain.

ENDS HIS LIFE AT CEMETERY'S
GATES
Oklahoma City, Aug. 16.—The body
of a man found yesterday near the
entrance to a cemetery here was id-
entitled her today by friends as that
of Edwin C. Mily, a traveling sales-
man employed by a company which
manufactures accessories for a type-
writing machine. The body was fcund
by a passerby. A revolver lay on the
ground near at hand and the man had
been shot through the head. County
officers said today there was "little
doubt that the man committed sui
tide." A coroner's jury was to meet
to hold an Inquest over the body.
A rest room for the women of Drum-
right will be provided soon through
the energy of the W. A. A. I.. (Wo-
man's auxiliary of the American le-
gian), according to a report from the
meeting held last night by that or-
ganization.
Is Greatly Needed
It is pointed out by Mrs. Earl An-
derson, president, that a rest room
down town is greatly needed in Drum-
right. it is needed by women coming
in from the leases as well as by wo-
men and girls in the city. There is at
present no place for a woman to go
in the downtown district. Men have
pool halls or offices where they can
hang around and pass waiting hours.
Women have been forgotten.
The assistance of every organiza-
tion. every church and every club
will he solicited by the members of
the W. A. A. L. in this work. At noon

Say Members of Union Arc
Anxious to Meet Business
Conditions
By a vote at a meeting of the
Painters' Union No. A'M) of Drumright
held last night the members of the
union decided to make a voluntary
drop of $2 a day iu their wages. Paint
crs are now to work for $N a day in
stead of $10 which was the scale up
to date.
"We appreciale the fall in the prk
of commodities and the hardships that
the change works on many persons,
said E. C. Harned. secretary of the
local union this morning, "and it
I he intention of the painters of Drum
right to do everything in their power
to meet the change In conditions ra
ther than buck these changes and
thus make conditions harder for
others."
This move by Drumright painter
will react to no small extent on busi
nesB conditions in the building and re
pair trades, according to a contractor
when informed of the action of the
painters' union.

England Recalls Constabulary
And Commences to Pre-
pare for War
By Associated Press
Dublin, August 17.—Eamonn
De Valera Irish Republican
leader, declared today that
Dail Eiremann would not ac-
cept the terms offered by the
British government extending
to Ireland an offer of dominion
status.
Belfast, Aug. 17.—All the
Royal Irish constabulary re-
ceived notice that their lease
has been concelled dating from
today, it was announced this
afternoon.
Dublin, August 17.—DeValera
made this decision at the second
session of Dail Eireann to take up
the question of negotiations with
li.emier Lloyd George with re-
gard to the possibility of an Irish
cettlement.
From reports this morning in
British and foreign newspapers/'
said DeValera, "there seems to be
ecme doubt as to what our at-
tutude towards the British pro-
posals would be. There seems to
be some doubt whether what I
have said or whether the letter
means acceptance or rejection.
"There ought to be no doubt in
anybody's mind. We cannot and
will not on behalf of this nation
accept these terms," DfeValera de-
clared.
He said the statement that
Ireland had offered to accent
dominion status, "contained two
falsehoods, that what was offered
was not even Dominion status;
and he declared the Irish /.ation
did net star.d between England
and the world and was not shut-
ting up the seas be*wecr the two
islands.
The public meeting of the par-
liament adjourned this afternoon
to an indefinite date. A private
session wil be held in the mean-
time begining tomorrow.
