SPRING CHICKEN
Being "Draited' Into Service at Rug.
giles CampgrOunds-J. II. X. Writes
Interesting News Letter.

Ruggles Campgrounds, July rs, 1917
The familiar sound of the tabernacle
bell this morning at $50 o'clock
brought to us the realization that an
other campmeeting was about to be-
gin. Althoug tired out from a long
and tedious trip yesterday, and feel
ing that we would rather enjoy lit
tie more rest, we rolled out and betook
ourselves to the six o'clock prayer SER
vice. Mr.. |. NJ. Lane was on hand to
lead the service and in little while
several had assembled and Joined in a
very precious service Of prayer and
song.
There are lots of campers here,
many more than we were expecting 80
soon. The auto trucks have been over
loaded every trip for days. 1t is in
deed remarkable what loads they do
bring. And it does take master pilot
to steer those big machines over some
of the roads. And how they ever get
those loads on to stick, and how they
can get everything delivered to the
rightful owners is certainly wonder.
The auto Hamrick which we came in
had the most remarkable load. Every
thing from preachers to pop.
The first thing that attract ones at
tention this year is the beautiful new
cottage erected for Mr.. Lane. We
have been hearing about it but to see
1t is to realize what dandy place Mr..
Lane has to camp in In his old days.
AS has already been noted Monday
was "movin" day with Mr.. Lane. On
that day he took his belongings away
from the Kentucky Home and set up
housekeeping in the Mountaineer. He
will be missed in the Kentucky build
ing especially early in the mornings
as he was accustomed to waken the
inmates of that favorite building by
singing Keep on the Sunny Side"
This was always challenge for us to
get up and hike to the early prayer
service. Monday night the young folks
on the grounds gave MIR. Lane SER
enade in his new home. The sound
ing of the bugle call by Howell Rich
ardson called the bunch together. They
then marched around singing songs
accompanied with tin pans, etc. After
this Mr.. Lane and his family felt that
they were officially fixed in their new
home
In all the announcements and adver-
tisements of the campmeeting we have
neglected to say anything about our
friends Ruggles and Bobbitt who are
to have charge of the barber shop and
baggage room. They are both accom-
modating gentlemen and will give
good service. Brother Ruggles who Is
to WELD the "razzer' is going to dem
Onstrate to the campers that he can
"scrape" the faces of the men as well

quently asked Of local draft boards
than any other. Travelling statesmen,
railroad men, men in the amusement

What should be done is this:

called should file an application with

result will be certified to the home
board and have the effect as though
made by the home board"

A great portion of our store at present is in the hands ot the builders who are rushing to completion the six-story annex. In their plans for beautifying the store, inside as we'll as out, it was found necessary to place the Art Department on the fourth floor. Being on the fourth floor is by no means an in- convenience, as a splendid space has been given over to the housing of this pretty de- partment.
 The art needlework classes are being conducted the same as usual, and it was not nec- essary that a single lesson be missed, as this department was moved over night.
