HAPPENINGS IN
THE MAGIC CITY
First Group of Armour Girls Leave
Today for Camp at Kings
Lake.
WHOLE FORCE TO HAVE OUTING

"Oh, girls, won't we have just the
best timer
So exclaimed two or three Of the
first group of Armour girls who will
participate in one weeks vacation,
expenses all paid, at Camp Howe,
Kings lake. The party will leave this
morning at 7;30 o'clock in two big
touring cars furnished by the COM
pany. Howard Orchard. timekeeper
at the plant, has charge of the ar
rangements.
Swimming, fishing, woods explor-
ing, most anything that comes with
a real up-to-date camp, will be on the
schedule of the packing house girls.
No expense has been spared by the
company to make the trip the most
delightful possible. Each week a
bunch of twelve girls will be dis
patched to spend seven days. Auto
mobiles will be used in each case if
the weather permits. -
Living at the camp will be in house
tents, l0xl2 feet, with boarded floors
In each tent are two beds, small
dresser and couple of chairs. Every
thing that would go to make up the
ideal camping outfit is provided Fish
ing tackle, bathing suits and all other
outdoor accessories are also furnished.
Last year not all Of the girls at the
plant would make the trip for no
other reason than, as General Man
ager R. c. Howe of the plant explains,
they couldn't see why Armour & Co.
should give them something for moth
ing But this year it is different. Ac-
cording to reports, all but one girl at
the plant are enthusiastically looking
forward to the excursion and that one
holds back because OF good reason.
The camp is placed in charge OF a
woman expert, Mrs. H. Hudson Of
Omaha, who chaperons the girls,
teaches them to cook, milk cows and
other things domestic. Three daugh-
tiers Of Mr.. King, who owns the land
and the lake ground, are adept at
swimming and usually teach the visit
ors how to swim if they do not know
1t is estimated that 1903 girls will 60
to the camp this year, requiring nine
weeks to complete the schedule.
The camp is situated at the junction
Of the Elkhorn and Horseshoe rivers
There are boats on the lake and the
principal living house is provided with
a victrola. Camp fires will be held
nightly. II,

No Fads for Miss
Pittman in Doing
Her School Work

Last week Sadie P. Pittman con-
cluded a continuous service of TWEEN
ty-five years in the Webster school,
where she served as principal for a
long period. Next September she
will be principal Of Lothrop school,
succeeding Mrs. Nora H. Lemon, re-
tired.
During her long service in Web
ster school Miss Pittman has, to use
an old saying, Sawed wood and said
little" Her greatest aversion has
been publicity and her greatest de-
sire has been to get results in the
schoolroom. She has refused to al
low any distractions or fads to be
introduced. Such added attractions as
dandelion pulling contests for ice
cream found no place in the Web
ster school.
Recently a visitor. at the office of
the superintendent of schools noticed
card containing the alphabet with
catchy line of each letter, the pur-
pose being to assist the children in
learning their letters. Inquiry re-
vealed the fact that Miss Pittman
was the author. Permission was
asked of the superintendent to pub
lish the lines. The reply was:
Eyes, but please do not use Miss
Pittman's name, because she does
not like publicity and would be dis
pleased If you used her name"
Miss Pittman is known among
school officials and principals for her
unwavering adherence to the policy
of prohibiting outside matters to in
terfere with regular school work.
She has worked on the belief that
the school year. is all too short as
it is and that the time of the pupil
is valuable.>
