Although she calls herself Georgia

Gated
That she is considerable Of an
athlete is attested by various police
men whom she gave battle in at

sit for a picture, so the officers
thought they would trust to the re-
sourcefulness of the newspaper pho

were going to take her for an auto
mobile ride, the officers took her to

Boy Scouts Camp.

On Monday morning at 7:45 O'CLOCK
the train for Tishomingo will have on
board a happy crowd of Scouts bound
for their annual camp. 1t VIII be at
Desperate Springs and a good time
is expected for all.
A vigorous program of sports, in
struction drill and other features o,
interest to boys has been planned
nd will be of considerable benefit
O, the boys.
The Boy Scout movement has
swept the whole world and we hear
from everywhere the splendid things
the Scouts are doing. In Ardmore
the interest has been somewhat leth-
argic. The Scout master has given
much of his time and earnest effort
to building up the troop, but has met
with little response. The movement IS
Of lofty ideals. 1t is to teach a boy
manliness, efficiency, self-control, an
ability to look after himself at all
times and to inculcate sound princl e
pies of morality, citizenship, and 10y
atty to country, God and home. The
summer camp is one of the most i'm
portant features, and no boy should
fail to attend. A camp of forty is
much more enthusing and productive
of more real benefit than camp OF
ten. Is your boy one of the many
to remain at home? Are you inter
ested in the welfare of your boy? DO
you wish him to possess the qualifi-
cations which the Scout movement
brings ont? Then assist the Scout
master in his efforts to make the
Ardmore Troop l and the summer
camp a successful undertaking. 1t all
means work and responsibility. Are
you in sympathy The care of the
camp is no small effort and without
full attendance and assistance OF
the parents is most discouraging.
Send your boy and then arrange
to visit the camp and see for yourself
what the boys are doing.

Scout Master.

matters. Hardly a family in the
tribe now but sports an automobile
