PUBLICITY OF _ ;3 FAR is HiELP |2 T0 CHICAGOANS 2 Millions of dollars worth of pub-- neity which will show Chicago in a favorable light instead of as the stamping ground of gunmen, boot-- leggers and racketeers will be one of the beneficent results of the World's Fair, according to 'a statement by Homer J. Buckley, director of the Chicago Better Business bureau. "Already the eyes of the world are being opened to the fact that Chi-- cago is a plate of culture, instead of merely the scene of gang fights, bombings, and other outrages." said Mr. Buckley, who is chairman of the centennial's committee on public in-- fcrmation. "Few people realize," he COntNUCN, "what the publicity growing out of the World's Columbian Expcsition of 1893 did to place Chicago on the map; how the story of the fair was broadcast to the four corners of the earth, bringing millions of visitors were ready, Major Moses P.

"Later, the amount of reading mat-- ter sent out by the publicity depsrt-' ment was so enormous that it will justify giving some figures. Clip-- pings are on file showing that in the year ending January 31, 1892, there had been 45,500,000 words printed about the exposition in the news-- papers and periodicals of the world. "Thirteen million words of this electrotype cuts of buildings and a matter were printed in foreign lan-- guages and 29,000,000 words of the total were reproduction matter fur-- nished by Major Handy's staff. "In the same period, the mailing room of the department sent out 2465,202 separate pieces of mailing matter, 95,070 large lithographs, 7.720 "Newspaper clippings were kept in books according to the states and countries in which they were printed. Reading these files, it is easy to note every fluctuation of public sentiment from day to day. They show, for in-- stance, that France. slow to act in the early stages of agitation, was fin-- ally aroused to the fullest apprecia-- tion of the advantage to be gained by an exhibition at the Aair. _ "Turning to the Japanese boek, which reflects the opinions of the other side of the globe, the records show that the Japanese were among the staunchest and most energetic friends of the fair from its inception. buildings and a number of lantern-- slides for illustrated lectures.

According to a written confession which police announced young Rice had given to them, Alice had gone off with another bny to smoke & ci-- fussed and fussed.

NEW PLANT CLEARS ILLINOIS RIVER Springfield, Il1., Nov. 17--Predict-- ing that a noticeable difference will soon be observed in the waters of the Illinois river, Gus H. Rade-- baugh, state director of Conserva-- tion, said today that completion of the North Side Sewage treatment works of the Chicago Sanitary Dis-- trict, was "an accomplishment wor-- thy of the admiration of all the state." The hew plant is the largest acti-- vated sludge plant in the world. _ | _ "The effects of this plant," said | 'Mr. Radebaugh, "in relieving the stream of its sewage burden, will show marked results on the Illinois river. "Polution of streams by city sew-- age and commercial activiti¢s is the challenge of our times. It is useless to attempt to stock polluted streams with fish, or provide sanctuaries for migratory game birds along grossly polluted waterways. "Illinois now leads all states in the union in tndn{.pollution from her waters. There is more work to d , but much has been accomplish»d.

We wi leave our headquarters on a joyous, hearty and happy hike for our Cabin at Diamond Lake. We're off, tramping across fields, jumping brooks, laughing, singing and plugging along. In a little while we quiet down and begin a real hike, noticing the wonders of nature and watching birds, float in the cool breeze that we all welcome. We are looking forward to agrand and glorious time, sitting around the Camp Fire, having stunts, singing gongs and telling stories. We invite all the boys of Scout age to come and join the great brotherhood of Scouts. We are sure that all who join will not regret it. --Scout Allen Hudson, Flying Eagle Our Cabin in Patrol, Troop 71. About two years ago the Kiwanis Club of Libertyville got together and bought some land near Diamond Lake and built for the Scouts a Cab-- in on the property. However, the Cabin was never completed--they got the outside and the roof on and that was all that was done. The summer before last, the scouts shingled the roof and the sides. This year they are going to build a fire-- place--and bunks and put a stove in the Cabin. They are also going to put partitions for rooms up and fit it up generally. After that we'll be able to have much more fun at our Cabin. We want to thank the men of our town for helping us to have such a fine camping place.--Robert Nelson, Eagle Patrol, Troop 71. Our Next Camping Season The end of school last June, brought Camp to most of the Scout's minds and camp week was enjoyed by all that had the opportunity of going. Scouts will not forget how we pitched our tents, helped fix up the Cabin, had an interesting pro-- gram of instruction and games, and initiated the Rookies. I won't tell any more, for you can come to Camp next summer and find out. With memories of last summer's camping season, we can hardly wait for next summer to come, for there is a better and finer camp awaiting us in the Wilderness of Northern Wisconsin, Some will spend a week or two in this new Northshore Camp wan. It is going to be the favorite at Spring Lake or Camp Ma--ka--ja-- camn of Scouts who know what they want. Scouts who cannot go up there will have the privileges of our Camp at Diamond Lake. Come on, join the Scouts--not only for the enjoyments of camp but for all the pleasures of scouting. --Olaf Edman, Stag Patrol, Troop 71. Libertyville Scouts Hold Scoutcraft Meeting * As there were no awards to make at the last Court of Award at the Presbyterian Church, November 9th, we carried on a program of Scout-- craft demonstration. Each of the four patrols of the troop demon-- strated something they had learned in their scout study. The demon-- strations included the saving of a man that had fallen on a live wire, bandaging, knot--tying, and the dif-- ferent ways of carrying wounded or unconscious persons. We had troop inspection, but the judges of the in-- spection were undecided as to the neatest boy in the troop. Last of all we had an interesting patrol con-- test, which the Eagle patrol won.
