That from the reading of the
text Gods plan was to redeem hu-

was based on the fact of sin. The
modern tendency is to get away
from the fact that man is a sinner.

The "Y" Boys Hike"

The Boys hike" taken Saturday will
probably live long i'll the memories Of
those who went. Seven bows with their
leader left the ''Y' Saturday morning
and started for the hills across the
river. The journey was intensely
interesting. Instead of idling away
their time the members of
the party busted themselves bv
keeping on the alert for such
things as rabbits, ducks, sage-chickens,
dog or cOyte tracks, and number of
Others for which the boys received a GER
tain number of points. John Stenin-
ger getting the largest total OF points
while Howard Lewis made the greatest
number of discoveries The other bows
taking part were Yale Williams. Erwin

ley and Maurice Mayer
Several miles out camp was made
and every one Immediately busted him
self by roasting his dogs" over the
fire. All agreed it was good.
Lunch over with, games were next in
order. This was no end of fun. The
stalking games created quite bit of
excitement and were only stopped with
utternces of regret from every boy.
The rudiments of Semaphore signaling
were then tried and the value thereof
demonstrated as we'll rs the fun that
can be had Mt the same time. An In

Der of the day. Maurice Mayer was
chosen Chief of the tribe.

A BLOW BE-
LOW THE BELT

In Saturdays paper we published
an article entitled Electric Adver-
tising VS. the Local Papers," Some
person who was afraid to sign his
or her name dropped a letter in
the Postoffice addressed to the Ed.
of the Independent. with the article
in question enclosed as a clipping
from the paper. The envelope and
card attached were addressed in a
woman's handwriting. The lady
was accompanied by her husband
when the letter was posted and a
card with this laconic saying print
ed thereon.
"Put your fork on the
wagon and drive on
to the next pile"
We followed the suggestion
and the next pile was the gang of
hohos who were masquerading as

are ready for another pile" Our
