TWENTY Y BOYS
ON BICYCLE RUN
Go to Crystal Lake to Be Guests
of Davenport Associa-
ton Boys.

Twenty boys climbed out of bed al
an early hour this morning and hur-
ried down to the Y. NJ. c. A. building
to get in on the bicycle hike" TO
Crystal lake. The start was made
from the building at 6:15 and the boys
expected to reach their destination,
near Dewitt, Iowa, by Q o'clock. They
were to spend the day there with the
Davenport boys who are now encamp-
ed at the lake. A baseball game and
ether competitive sports were planned.
Assistant Secretary l.. X. Leidig and
Rev. ID. a. Johnson chaperoned the
party.
The boys are to return this evening
in time for supper and if they have had
a sufficiently good time. probably some
trips of the sort will be arranged to
other points within the next week or
two
The prospects for the Y NJ. c. A.
boys camp are very fine, according to
Secretary II. NJ. Craig. who is receiv-
ing the advance reservations. Nearly
half of the places for the regular camp
have already been taken and other
boys are making their plans to get in,
who have not yet paid their initial
fee. Only a limited number will be
accepted, so that 1t is safer for those
who wish TO so to get their names in
at once.
The camp is to be located in a fine
place on the river near Buffalo. where
all the surroundings are favorable for
a good camp.
The Boy Scouts will have their camp
at the same place as the Y. NJ. C. A.
boys, during the 10 days following and
il is safe to say that there will be
lively times when the scouts get into
camp. Both camps will be held in
August and reservations are being re- |
ceived now for both OF them.

The Buy-a-B Bale of Cotton Clubs
that are being organized through
out this section have gained con-
siderable favor and appear to be
by far the most logic relief yet
advanced to help cotton growers.
Every business man in Caldwell
should pledge himself to buy a
bale OF cotton. The plan is for
each individual who is able TO do
so, to purchase one bale of COT
ton, paying for same at the rate
of ten cents per pound. We
hope that every business man in
Caldwell parish will fall in line
and purchase and hold one bale
of cotton, thus joining in the
most remarkable relief measure
ever advanced to help cotton
growers. It behooves everyone
that is able to give the buy-a-
bale move their united assist
ance.
