EITHER TRYING THE LOOP THE
LOOPS OR JUMP SAND POCKET

Returning from Eureka church
Sunday Mrs. o. D. Nickle and
daughters Leta and Esther were up
set when the car struck sand peck
let and locked. Through Leta's pres
ence of mind she shut off the engine
trying to get out of the wreck.
The top and windshield were de-
molished and broken hub was the
extent of the damage. The occu-
pants consider themselves very for
tunate in escaping with only a few
bruises as glass was flying in all di-
rections. Through the assistance OF
Mr.. Saurs and Mr.. Peek the car was
hoisted to its usual position and
started homeward as if nothing had
occurred.

SENATOR THOMPSON FLIES

Last week Senator Thompson had
the pleasure of making the trip
from New Ulysses to Lakin. a dis
lance of some 0miles, in just II
minutes. The Senator had been at
tending the Grant County Reunion
and flew over to the railroad with the
aviator whohad given an exhibition
earlier in the day. They flew at a
height of 5000 feet and their great
est speed was $50 miles per hour.
The Senator insists that flying thru
the air is a wonderful sensation,
however this is not his first trip by
any means. While he was aboard he
flew with an inspection crew over
London and Paris in Handley-Page
which is the largest plane made. We
wish we could have been with the

that night and every thing was quiet
until six o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, when reveille was called and
every one was on the scene ready
for another meal. Six boys were de-
tailed at meal time, and with the
assistance of some of the scout
masters they served the meals very
good.
Speaking of the appetites of the
boys they certainly had fine ones.
The first supper consisted of 10 pull
man loaves of bread, | gallon jam,
10 pounds minced ham, gallon
cocoa IL pounds butter. Every
meal was partaken of just as heart
lily as this one.
In general no one was hurt, every
one had splendid time, no disorder
no fights. and every one wanted to
stay longer.
The place where all this occurred
was on a big abandoned ranch on the
Coldwater river. No one was near
to be disturbed and the boys had full
possession while there.
The scoutmasters and tn eother
men who accompanied them are very
we'll pleased with their discipline and
intend to take them for a longer hike
next time, perhaps to the noun
tains.

Bow Scouts and Guests Home
From Outing on Coldwater
Cleaned Up Provisions as Well as Many Pies and
WatermelOns. Had Fine Time During
Four Days Camping Party

sleeping a second call from out in
the wilderness came. The scout
masters were once more disturbed.
They were tired and so much wanted
to get the full benefit of the wonder
full air but they had to go to the
rescue of the frightened boys. Upon
reaching the assembly of scouts one
of them said "please see to it that
this boy quits snoring so loudly"
Tuesday morning at o'clock the
scouts were all wide awake and ready
for breakfast, which consisted of a
bountiful feed of bacon, eggs, oat-
meal, grapenuts bread, butter, coffee
and cocoa.
After breakfast one hour was
spent in swimming, then an hour of
drill, then a period of games. Their
games consisted of base ball, foot
ball and any thing they desired to
play. Then they had to see to their
fishing poles.
After the dinner hour, the boys
were allowed to roam around over
the hills and get toads, Lizards,
snakes. etc. The boys are to be con-
graduated on the amount of fish
they caught, as they caught enough
to feed all the visitors Wednesday
and then had enough for one other
day.
Among the very interesting games
that were played were a relay race
and a deer hunt. The relay race was
composed Of patrols with 8 boys
to each patrol, but only patrols en-
tered the race. The deer hunt was
also played by patrols. Both games
were very interesting and every min
ute was an enjoyable one. Besides
the games rooster fighting, tug of
war and many other similar games
were played.
Tuesday night at time for "taps"
every boy was in his tent and asleep,
as all were very tired after a big
days work, No calls were heard

Upon reaching the journeys end
their tents were pitched and every
thing put in preparation for the
night. They established watch for
the night of five shifts Of hours to
the shift and 2 boys to the shift. The
first night was called a night of
alarms as the boys were not tired
and felt very gay. Several calls
were called through the night and
upon a call the right party had to
heed. The calls were as follows;
One Call Attention, Two calls Scout
master, calls Scoutmasters and
patrol leaders. calls foe everybody.
Late in the night when every one
should have been asleep 2 shriil
calls were heard The Scoutmasters
were Immediately out of bed and on
the scene, a man was seen some
where in the distance that could not
be accounted for. Something had to
be done and right now, so a scout
master said We will organize 2
companies, one to go one way and
the other the opposite way and we
will find that man. They did so and
after an extended search was made
and an old stump was found shroud-

seen. After all had Quilted down once

FARMERS ASK
BETTER ROADS
Legislation Shares Attention
of State Directors.

Better roads and better road legisla-
ton were advocated today at meeting
Of the directors Of the Indiana Federation
Of Farmers at their headquarters, III
East Market street.
John Brown, who presided at the meet
ing, spoke briefly on the Importance Of
the Hoosier farmers supporting the pro-
gram of the association, and urged the
directors to stimulate interest in the vari-
Gus county organizations.
Among the other topics brought up for
discussion today were fertilizing sup
plies, Irvine purchasing, marketing con-
.ditions in Indiana and cooperative meth
DDS of growing and distribution.
1t was pointed out that cooperative
purchases of community farmers, COM
munity marketing as far as possible, and
greater discussion of agricultural prob
lens in social centers were considered
essential to greater benefits for Hoosi4r
farmers.
Mr.. Brown predicted beneficial results
In county farmers organizations during
the coming year, an outgrowth of the
work of the Hoosier organization and the
Washington bureau in keeping a finger
on the pulse of congressional interest in
farmers needs.
