w. NJ, Robinson and his class OF
boys of the Christian church Sunday
school are home from a camp of sew
leral days duration on the banks of
the Des Moines river and each and
every one Of the youngsters makes
affidavit to the claim of having had
an enjoyable outing-the best of their
lives. They were camped in tents
with special mess" tent set aside
for the meals. They had everything
TO eat that the healthful appetite of
a youngster could suggest, even
down to watermelon every day. And
they went right into the field and ate
and ate To their hearts content.
They also went in swimming, forenoon
and evening and had all other enter
taimet, enjoyment and unalloyed
pleasure known to boys in camp. Rev.
Roy +. Deadman, of the church, ac-
companied the expedition and a feat
ure of the first days experiences, not
down on the program, was the fight
he put up against a nest of yellow
jackets, with which he came in con.
tact. The minister was "stung for
, true" on hands and face and the be-
ligerent little insects even explored
the reCeSseS of his trouser legs to
make their presence known. Rev.
Deadman Is convinced that his share
OF camp experience has been some
what convincing and in greater detail
than that acquired by other members
of the party. Those of the class at
the camp were Masters George White.
Harry Anderson. Arden Price, Lon
Adams, Max Beckman, Mckinley
Mason, Glen Thomas, Everett HILL and
Arrow Tout.

milestone in life. They found her
wholly unprepared as she was peace
fully clearing the supper away. 1t
was complete surprise When she
looked into the dining room to find it
full of familiar faces, making them
selves at home, but the lady soon re.
gained her COmpOsure, until she was
presented with a washtub beautifully
decorated with ivy and sweet alyssum,
wherein were hidden many little tOk
ems of friendship, and 1t was fun in
deed TO watch her get them out. The
guests had taken with them baskets
of good things to eat and soon a
dainty lunch was Served good So
Cial time was had the remainder of
the evening, until late when the us
ual goodby song was sung. All felt
that they had had a most enjoyable
