ELDON GIRLS ON
A BIC OUTING
FAIR SEX OF THAT PLACE
CROUCH 1T" FOR A WEEK
AND ENJOY EXPERIENCE.

Eldon, Aug. 4.-(SpeciaD Last
girls, with Mr.. and Mrs. Hunnell as
chaperon, left for weeks outing at
Bailey's Grove. People stood and
gazed in wonder, as the girls dressed
in old "duds" to trough it" passed
through town. The main features of
the parade were wagons and bug
gies piled high with cots and bedding,
pots and pans, and topped by big
straw hat or sun bonnet.
The tents were pitched near the
bank of the river In a most beautiful
spot, and with just enough of con-
veniences to keep camp life from be-
ing drudgery, the girls had a very en-
joyable time.
Two girls each day prepared the
meals for that day, and the rest did
all the other work. such as doing the
dishes and bringing the water Then
all were free to read or sew, sing or
swim, entertain company or be enter
tanned by the poet.
They have named the camp
"Liebchens Lager" from an incident
of the first night, and hope to con
tinue their pleasan. relation by form
ing permanent club.
A threatened storm, hayrack ride
visitors and the inevitable funny
things that happen afforded plenty OF
diversion. The mosquitoes in hordes
furnished concerts and plenty of exer
else every evening. Cameras record
ed many incidents and capers of the
camp week.
The pleasure Of the week they owe
in no small measure to the kindness
and hospitality of Mr.. Bailey and his
son.
Those who testify to the gooi
times they had are: Mr.. and Mrs
j. Hunnell, Misses, Rule Enyarl
elizabeth McHaffey, Ruth jacques
Ethel Conrad, Pearl Hughes, Myrns
Cox, Josephine Shelter, Audrey Sapp
Sylvia Grow and Myrtle Huston.

Reports Differ With Year.

The adjutant general at Des MONIES
must be informed each year by the
county auditor as to the number of
citizens between the ages of 1S and 45
in the county, and strange to say, the
method is different as to the manner
of the report as regards the year be-
ing of an even or an odd number The
auditor when making his report has
not so hard time in compiling the
document if the year be 1907 or 1909,
for being an odd numbered year, he
needs but send in the total subject 20
military duty. However, if the year be
even, like the year 1908, then his re-
port is real out and out work, for, be-
ing an even year, he must needs fur
nish the names, age and residence of
each person subject to the call, and
one may see just what report of that
kind, including 4,517 Names will mean.
The number subject to this call, ac-
cording to townships, towns and cities

The LYe Ate His Brooches

The toys at the Santa Anna cannery have good joke on Chas. Norburg of Petersburg, and are not a bit slow telling about it.
 It appears that the Chinks at the cannery are in the habit of sousing their overalls in the lye vat time or two to clean 'em up, and the lye certainly does the job in short order. Now Norberg had a pair of ice cream" pants which were the apple of his eye. Some how these precious pants had ac- quired a greasespot or two, so Norberg decided h. would wash them. He had seen, many a time, the Celestials at the I've vat, so he decided to try the same thing or his brooches, figuring that if the lye would clean ovoralls and leave them in good shape, it would do the same with woolens, He knows better nov. as all he has left to re- mind him of those fancy pants, are he buttons-the lye did the rest. He hshed the remnants out of the gat with rake, and hasn't word to say when the boys want to know how business is at the Santa Anna laundry.

4 big crowd piled aboard the Big Chief, Sunday afternoon to Jake advantage of the fine weather, and set sail for Farm Island. The rip over was a pleasant one, but they were at the island a little too long, so that the tide was almost gut and they had narrow escape from hanging up on the bar on the way home. For a while II looked as though "Bill' Downing would have to get out and walk so as to tighten the canoe. They made it all right at last, and arrived home n fairly good season, but dread fully hungry.

Grant Paid for the Wine

Johnnie Grant is losing his faith in mankind. He was jobbed to a finish the other evening. It ap- pears that Peter C. Jenson has a case of near champagne" or some thing of the kind, in town, so the boys ribbed up a scheme to play a joke on Grant and make him pay the bill. They told him what fine stuff the imitation was, winding up with the offer to bet the cost of the booze that the average man could n't tell the difference. Grant bit.
 Gardner the crab man, was Sc. lected to pass judgment, and being in on the deal, rendered the decis. ion against Johnnie. The latter paid the bill, but had the conso. latian of making Gardner, who had claimed to be unable to differ. enciate between the two wines. drink the inferior brand, while he disposed of the real thing.
