DICKINSON MOSQUITOES
TOOK TOPEKANs' CAMP

The Topeka Capital In telling oil
A. camping trip at Woodbine' says:
A we'll known Topeka newspaper

young railroad man are telling their
friends what a delightful vacation
they enjoyed near to nature re-
Gently.
But IL Is rumored that their va
cation was not as lovely as they
claim. Instead OF a week, II lasted
Just one night. Hearing that the
fishing was immense, they picked on
Woodbine as the site OF their camp
in the woods. The two wives were
sent by train. The railroad man owns
an old motorcycle and he success
fully engineered his motorDike
across the hills and valleys between
Topeka and woodbine, the newspa-
per man riding on the tank. They
reached Woodbine. stiff and sore'
and busled themselves pitching
camp, having shipped a wagon load
OF camping outfits and provisions
ahead by train.
Then trouble began. MOSQUITOES
from all over Dickinson and Morris
counties seemed to gather In and
around their tents. The newspaper
man and the railroad man built a.
smudge fire, but the mosquitoes en-
joyed the smoke more than the
campers. Instead of sleeping peace
fully. as they had planned for a.
month before they started on their
camping trip, they fought mosquitoes
all night. All the members Of the
party we're tired and desperate the
next morning, and also their arms
and faces were covered with mos
quito bites. They voted then and
there that the joys of camp life had
been greatly overrated. They broke
camp Immediately after breakfast
and went to the home Of relatives
IN a nearby town where all spent

sHRINERs GO TO CONCORDIA
FOR SESSION OCT. STH

The special pilgrimage of the Sa'
lima Shrine to Concordia will be
October 8, instead of September 10
as was announced in the Concordia
papers. The date recently was post
poned. The Concordia Masons are
doing everything to make the event
a great one and 1t will be day of
interest in Concordia. 1t is probable
that the Salina Shrine will go to
Concordia in a special train.
The special pilgrimage was made
by the hard work of several prom
inent Concordia Masons and they
mean to see that the event will be
as successful as an event of this
kind is expected to be. The class
of candidates will be unusually
large, many from Concordia joining,
as they will have thus the privilege
of joining without the journey to
Salina where the shrine is located.
Concordia is in the jurisdiction OF
the Isis shrine.
