is the name given the \. M. S- A. summer camp in the Huachuca noun tains, gives it that the boys are hay ing more than their share Of fun in camp, which began last Monday. There are now twenty-nine in there all told, two more members having joined the party yesterday morning
 Assistant Secretary Buchner of the |. NJ. c. A. returned from the camp yesterday and reports that the first week of the camp has more than full filled the expectations of the leaders in the thorough discipline maintained. He also reports that the boys are all well and that the camp cook has ad- mitted that he was no judge of what boys camping could do in the way or eating.
 The swimming pool which the boys built during the first two days ln camp is one of the most popular fea- lures and the boys are in the water under the direction of the leaders twice each day. To form the pool large dam was built across the stream which runs by the camp, and the wa ter back up for a distance of fifty feet. ter backed up for distance of fifty feet. which will enable the younger boys to learn to swim and give the older boys plenty of room for water fights, etc.
 The boys are up at o'clock in the morning and from that time on there is something doing in camp until the signal for lights out is given at 3 o'clock in the evening. Gymnastic exercises are given immediately upon arising, then follows the flag raising and breakfast at o'clock. Chapel service is held at 8 o'clock. The boys are then given two hours camp duty and the program of sports for the day begins at 10:30 o'clock. Athletic games and hikes are indulged in until late in the afternoon. 4 dip in the swimming pool a II o'clock and an- otker at 3:30 or o'clock, gives plenty of variety to the days sports.
 On last Thursday afternoon thirteen of the older boys took the first long hike" of the camp. They started about noon and climbed to the top Of . the divide, taking with them proyis- icns and blankets. They camped Thursday= =nishts-at=P Palmerlee--L Lodge on the divide, and in the early morn ing ascepded Miller peak for the sun rise. The boys returned to camp on Friday noon, the trip being cut short on account of the food supply. The boys had misjudged their appetites and they were glad to get in on a steaming hot dinner on their return. The party was guided over the trail by Ali Hoaglaud, keeper of the Hua- chuca Water Company's grounds in the mountains. The same boys are planning trip to Fort Huachuca for the coming week, the trip to occupy two days. The smaller boys who re n,alned in camp have been enjoying shorter hikes to points of interest nearer camp.
 The camp fire has been a feature that the boys have looked forward to each day and gladly they SCOUT the woods for dry windfalls with which to make the big fire in the evening, which continues several hours and around which they have their games, blanketing the boys and listening to the stories of camp life and hunting trips of pioneers. A large rock fire place has been built on the camp grounds to keep the fire from spread ing and setting fire to the dry leaves and underbrush about the camp. About the fireplace the boys have arranged large stone seats.
 By the fourth day in camp every boy had a new nickname which con nected him in some way with the jckes of the camp. Carl Mcintosh is known as Lizard" because of his interest in the long-tailed animals that are plentiful about camp. Herbert Frestin of Douglas is known as "Skim. hnnor1cn nf 70 InEa tha hove played on him in getting him to skim the leaves from the swimming pool with the cooks skinner. Hastings Shields is known as Deacon" Ed Hicks is called Birdie" and so on . till the whole party has been re named. ,s.s. . A. mail service has been established between the camp and Palmrelee post office in the Huachuca mountains. The daily arrival and departure of the mail is quite feature in camp. Many of the boys are sending mail home daily and all watch for the daily pa pers from Douglas and Bisbee.
 That the boys are all havIng 8 good time in every way is attested by the fact that the boys, who had only registered for one week, have sent IL requests 10 De permltted 10 Spenu two weeks in camp.
