"Your real interest, [ suppose he

The sunny south has proven attrac-
tive to Scout Commissioner FOgweil

things of interest to the various scouts
of the city. "EThe same stars shine
for you as for me-" he writes. "The
Great Bear and the Little Bear, Cas-
siopeia, Orion and Leo are the prin-
ciple consultations, and the Pleiades

knowing about. There is very bright
star here in the southeast about six

grees which puzzles me- It is very
brilliant and seems to be as big as a

''The sun here is real hot. the trees
are green with blossoms and where
there is any grass, to be sure it s green.
We found found violets in the shady
hooks and crannies. There are some
curious trees in the neighborhood that
must learn about. There are lots
of cactus plants with some points. The
only wild things I have seen were cot

The letter closes with the promise of
the former Scout Commissioner to keep
in touch with scout affairs in Kenosha

miles away in the southland or back Of
