DAVENPORT COUNCIL FOR
OBSERVANCE OF SUNDAY

Members OF Davenport's city coun-
ell are firm believers in the precept-
Remember the Sabbath day to keep
/, holy" They believe that Sunday
should be a day of rest and devotion.
II Davenport citizens do not take their
seats in the high backed pews next
Sunday il will not be the fault of the
aldermen.
The World at Home" carnival,
which is now appearing in the city,
asked permission of the council to OPP
crate next Sunday. inasmuch as there
will be great throngs of people abroad
NJ that time and all of them will have
more or less money TO spend.
The granting of this request would
mean that hundreds of dollars would
pour into the Golfers OF the carnival
company. but such is not TO be the
case.
At last nights council meeting the
license committee returned an emphat-
&c verdict OF NO"
The decision OF the committee viii

approval OF Davenport ministers and

CAMP BROKEN UP;
Y BOYS ARE BACK
Outing at Crystal Lake, Iowa,
Enjoyable, the Fishing
Being Fine.

The Y. NJ. c. A. boys camp came to
an end yesterday, when the crowd of
youngsters, brown as berries. and full
OF enthusiasm over their outing, re-
turned safely to their homes.
Several friends of the boys went up
to Crystal Lake yesterday afternoon
in automobiles and brought the BOYS
home in fine style, thus giving a de-
lghtful finish to the ten days of fun
which the campers have enjoyed. The
boys report great fishing at camp.
They failed to weigh their catch with
sufficient care to be able to vouch for
the size of the fish they caught, but
they claim. at any rate, that they add
ed much to their bill OF fare, and re-
duced the cost of living decidedly by
their proficiency with rod and reel.
Baseball. boating. swimming, tramps
and all the other joys OF camp life
were used fully. Crystal Lake was
found to be an ideal spot for camp in
most respects. Daily bible study and
of natural phenomena
gave the right balance to the fun. 1t
IS safe to say that the boys who
camped this year will be among the
first to sign up next year when the
time comes for camp lists to be |
started.
The following are the ones who were |
fortunate enough to attend the camp: !
Marvin Mcneil. Forrest Garretson.
Frank Marshall. Allen Kloye, Leo
Maroon. Robert NJ. Bahnsen, Vernon
De Laney. Lawrence II. Meanor. Ed
