Every 12 to 15-year-old boy in

six weeks in the summer camp It
is the cheapest, most wholesome ana
profitable place at which boy may
spend a part of his vacation days.
The price is but $500 per week,
each boy supplying his own blanket
and personal equipment. The coun-

ment and il it can be arranged,
transportation one way.
The camp-site selected, is in one
of the choicest, coolest safest and
most convenient places for the Chick

such as clear, cool pools of water
for bathing, bubbing springs foi'
