Mar. 22, 1922 – SCOUTS ENCOURAGE BIRDS
There is a remarkable display in C.E. Neumann’s big show window – 100 bird houses of every conceivable style and coloring, the work of the Boy Scouts of this city. These houses, after being viewed by the people of the city, and their merits passed upon by judges, will all be erected in a suitable place where birds may nest and rear their young. Each house is designed for birds of a certain size and variety, the intent being to provide for all varieties that exist in this locality.

PUTTING TOURIST PARKS ON FINANCIAL BASIS
A number of communities will charge this season for the use of motor tourist camps. Portland will charge 50c per night per car. It is predicted that by 1923 the obvious advantage of a small fee will be so thoroughly established that the “free camp” will be non-existent.

DO SOME SHOOTING AT SPOKANE
E.D. Farmin, Lee Bennett and L.D. McFarland made a visit to Spokane yesterday just to show some of the experts of the Inland Empire how to shoot, and they showed them. Bennett and McFarland did some good shooting at the Spokane Gun club’s merchants’ shoot, while Farmin captured the “humdinger” prize, winning an event for those who shot through 100 targets. His premier prize was an order for a $40 suit of clothes.
