War Garden is Feature Of Camp Eberhart

There is probably no more, COM
plete or better located boys camp
in the United States than Camp
Eberhart, the South Bend Y. NJ. &
A. camp, located on beautiful Corey
lake. Mich, about 10 miles north
east of the city.
That this statement is not ex-
travagant is evidenced by the fact
that boys from Iowa. Illinois. Wis
consin. Michigan and Indiana come
to this camp regularly each sum-
mer.'
The season Of 1918 opened last
Monday with a good attendance of
boys including delegations from
Burlington. Ia. Peoria, H., Evans
ton and Glencoe, and Benton Har-
Dor, Mich, and various points in
Indiana, including large groups from
Laporte, South Bend and Misha-
waka.
X. A. Overholser, the boys work
director of Laporte, has been given
charge Of the camp for the summer,
taking the place of Russell Jontz
recently enlisted in the L. :. navy
Mr.. Ove-hOlser has had many years
experience as boys work and ctsGip
director and is very popular with
boys. Associated with him is a capa-
BILE group OF leaders, including
Physical Director l. c. Cohimeyer
and Messrs. Waters, Hampson,
Neher and Jones.
The camp property includes more
than Il acres situated on the shore
of Lake Corey with a fine sandy
bathing beach and unusual camp
equipment including a large, com
modious lodge i'm which is located
the large mess haN and kitchen. IL
brary store and eight sleeping
rooms for guests; also directors
bungalow. cooks cottage. tool
house. boat house. and a unique rus
tic chapel in the woods There are
two tennis courts, baseball diamond
and many other camp facilities.
A commendable feature of this
year is the large vegetable garden
in which all of the boys viii spend
a period Of each day under the lead
ership of X. IL. Rodgers Of the Pur-
due agricultural school This viii
help prepare tile boys TO meet their
responsibilities when they are
