LEADERS LOST
FOR A DAY ON
HIKE IN NORTH
Devotional Exercises Led by Older
Boys Feature of Sunday School
Band Outing.

north:
AT Camp. near Sheboygan, Wis,
Thursday night.-The Argus:
Our last nights camp on Lake
Michigan was to have been at Man
itowac, Wis. However, several de-
lays during the trip made it impos-
sibIe to make our schedule, but we
camped for the night at a place
eight miles north of Sheboygan.
Our camp last night was at Ke-
nosha, where we left at about S:15
this morning. We arrived at Mil
waukee, IS miles from Kenosha, at
IL o'clock. We visited the public
library and museum there, and
were on our way again. At 1890
we stopped for dinner at Whitefish
bay, just a few miles north of Mil
waukee.
at 2 o'clock we started out for
Manitowac, 85 miles distant from
Milwaukee. We made a good start,
but the truck and trailer couldn't
make as good progress, and so
when we arrived at Sheboygan we
decided to pitch camp just outside
OF town.
Leaders Are Lost.
MIR. and Mrs. Hauberg and
Francis Barker went ahead of the
bunch at Sheboygan, so that when
we followed our road we did not
find them, and have not up to the
close of this writing-10 As p. m.
We expect to meet them early Gin
the morning, as we are on the
main road to Green Bay.
ION this hike we had arranged
that one of the older boys would
conduct the devotional exercises
rather than Mr.. Hauberg, leading
the service each evening before re-
firing. Monday night Francis
Barker conducted the exercises.
Tuesday night was Mr.. Hauberg's
night. while Irving Olson had
charge Wednesday evening.
This evening we had a late sup

night for Mr.. Hauberg. We plan
to reach Green Bay by noon tomor-
row friday. and reach our des-
tination at the Indian reservation
some time late the same afternoon
or evening.
I'VE have had so far very sue

fine weather, the days and nights
being clear ond cool. Our next
letter no doubt will be written
from the Indian reservation.
