We are threatened with showers
for which said threatening we are
grateful, but for an abundant ex.
ecution of that threat we shall be
so thankful. A good rain east and
west of us Monday afternoon and
poor aun-baked Hogan to the
south of US had a good refreshing
shower Sunday night; so says
Timothy Shane, and he knows for
he has been over the road.
7 Presiding Elder Grove and Rev.
Stuart of Bismarck came down
Monday and looked at the taber-
nacle grow for about an hour.
They each made a selection of a
location for their tents.
(. Presiding Elder Humphreys was
playing eroquet in Arcadia Mon
day afternoon; he had a severe at
tack of heart failure one day last
week but has about come back to
his normal condition. He will
make a selection of a location for
his tent while here.
The man who looks after a part
of the correspondence relative to
a camp nesting has some queer
experiences. For instance, herei is
a local preacher who expects to
attend the meetings but he wants
to buy a car load of hogs while
here. Another wants to know if
we can furnish entertainment for
a pair of ponies along with a FAM
lily of five. Both questions were
answered in the affirmative. Our
boys and girls could furnish en-
tertainment for several pairs of
ponies just any old day if they
were harnessed to a cart or sad
died and bridled and Dick Fletch-
er went south Monday and bought
250 head of hogs. So come on
with your ponies and your empty
cars and fill 'em.
= Mr.. r. D. Lewis spent several
hours on the encampment grounds
Saturday. He is one of the
strongest of the financial hackers
of the project to establish a great
chautauqua and summer resort
here and it is to his wise and sa-
gaoious planning that we are in
debted for the magnificent taber-
nacle which is now being erected,
and which is to crown the most
beautiful of the Epworth Hills for
the next hundred years. Mr..
Lewis has a beautiful summer
home in the valley, but resides in
st. Louis and is a member of st.
Johns M. E. church. Mr.. Lewis
has two boys, strong, active
young fellows, who assisted in
the erection Of tents just as though
they were interested. We like
those boys. They evidently be-
long to the ''lend-a-hand club"
. Three-room tents were erected
Saturday for Mr.. w. G. Stokes
and v. ". Randall Of Kenneth.
They were to occupy them Mon
day, July 10th, but owing to sick
ness in Mr.. Randal's family he
will not be here until later.
The katydids began their songs
on the 7th of July and that means
killing frosts about the 7th of
October. Say, Mr.. Editor. do you
believe in any such signs as thatp
It's as true as any other sign, but
you know all signs fail in dry
weather.
Sunday and Monday but has so
far recovered as to be out again.
The boy scouts have sent for
their suits and expect to be fully
organized and ready for business
soon. They elected Albert Lang
don Patrol Leader and Ward
Farrar Corporal, Monday after
noon, and twelve of them took the
oath of a tenderfoot boy scout.
They took their first track Mon
day afternoon and several of them
made the run ahead of the "track-
err" Following are the outlines
of what the boy scouts are sup
posed to stand for:
l.. A scouts honor is to be trusted.
q. A scout is loyal to the President
and TO his officers, to his parents, etc.
3. A scouts duty is to be useful and
to help others.
q. A scout is a friend to all and a
brother to every other scout.
S. A scout is courteous.
E. A scout is a friend to animals.
A scout obeys orders of his parents,
patrol leader, or scout master, without
question.
s. A scout smiles and looks pleasant.
9. A scout is thrifty; that is, he saves
every penny he can, and puts it into the
bank.
