had earned their way to the big state
exhibition by excellent work in rails
ing pigs. sheep, canning vegetables
and fruit and sewing work Their ex-
hibits were all about the fair grounds.
They attracted wide attention and re-
ceived much deserved comment. but
for downright interest, enthusiasm and
joy, their camp was the one spot on
the grounds for genuine enjoyment.
There were &C in the camp, IS boys
and 81 girls. The camp was model
of cleanliness and at that time was in
charge of L. II. Merrill of Murtaugh
and Miss Dorothy Neal. 1t was Just

and the bright gay bunch of boys and

attention of woman to it who
was passing by. She replied she

friends not one failed to receive a blessing.
