belongs to Keokuk as much as she
does to Hamilton, sang three songs.

Entertained by Camp Girls.
The girls from the Lakeview train
ing camp did themselves proud IN the
afternoon with the pleasure they af-
forded the lumbermen and their
friends.
Under the direction of Miss Won
Zelle Murphey, the girls did some
fine singing, accompanied by the
Plymouth band.
One very attractive number on
their program was folk-dance given
by the campers These girls have
only been working together three
days, and their ability to work col
lectively is remarkable real evil
dence Of what can be done by means
of trained leadership such as the
girls are receiving at the Laeyiew
camp.
Miss Florence Eutenener and Miss
Pearl Urban, two of the camp lead
ers, gave a duet oriental dance which
was artistic.
Mrs. Mary =. A1eshire, the execu-
tive of the training camp, closed the
girls part of the afternoon program.
She spoke few minutes on the work
of the camp now in session, and
asked the people present to spread
the news around that there was such
camp just north of Hamilton, open
to all girls. Mrs. Aleshire is a fluent
speaker as well as being a leader,
and made it clear to her listeners
that this camp was really important
But the girls and women didn't do
it all Friday afternoon. Mr.. Lyons,
OF La Harpe, led the community sing
ing, which everyone enjoyed. and the
boys band of Plymouth played often,
which was real treat.
When the formal program had
been completed, the dining tables
were carried off the dance pavilion
and the lumbermen and their guests
danced there, to music furnished by
the band.
The following Keokuk people at.
