While you could not possibly hitch, up or saddle a horse, or even get on your tar and go for a doctor In 1rs than an hour, you fret your head off avd call tbe frvl'-e bum If you luwe rinnirnn TELEPIN rnn v tna TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, Boy Scouts Will Camp In Wilds Systematic Scout Canons to Guide Master and Commissioner Fixing Daily Camp Activity Schedule This moraing at 7:30 Bcout yells and calls signalizing it the local troops of the Boy Scouts of America left in antos for UuVon, from where they will march to a suitable camping place on Catherine creek.
