Scouts and Camp Fire Girls Plea Sc.

The entertainment given in Seaver's
opera hall on Friday evening by the
Camp Fire Girls and Boy Scouts was
decided success and reflects grea
credit upon Miss Redfeld, the Camp
Fire Guardian, and Mr. Underwood.
the Scout Master, who drilled the
young people. Special mention shoul d
be made of the play, "a Strenuous
Afternoon" by the Scouts, in whi ch
they showed the training the Boy
Scout gets in first aid to the inj ured,
courtesy, and obedience. The singing
by the Camp Fire Girls was of high
order and showed more than ordinary
ability in training. One of the most
pleasing numbers was the "Swing
Song" by Camp Fire Girls. Miss
Thelma Hawkins occupied the swing
and was assisted in her swinging by
two Boy Scouts. The "Sunset Song"
with action by the girls was a particu-
Iarly pleasing number. These organi-
cations are of great benefit to those of
our young people who are members.

accomplishes something. A discour-
aged one never does"

The age of chivalry has gone.
An age of humanity has come.
The horse. whose importance,

him. in promoting his elevation.
in contributing to his welfare, in
