Thursday and Friday the Kow
Kure Krowd slammed to pieces two
good teams picked up and organic
ed by Camp Duceton Sayers." The
scores from both games were hide
GUS realities that made the losers
orestfallen and also made them
gather wood for the camp fire.
Saturday evening instead Of the
regular horse-hide game there was a
there-events boat meet, tent pitch
&c against tent. There were singles,
doubles and double hauling a cocks
vain. The singles were won by
Frank Kline representing the Bull
Dogs while the closest contestant
for second place was Gus Wilt
shire of the "Kow Kures' and third
the "Rainbows" represented by AS
sistant Director Shickle. Woods By
rer and Francis Taylor rowed their
tent to victory in the doubles and
e.so in the doubles with the cocks
vain. Gus Wiltshire serving in this
capacity.
Each night there has been an
enormous camp fire built just after
dark and while the flames and
smoke taker skyward, some one well
versed in the art of prevarication
expounds a wild, wierd tale that
makes one huddle closer to the
burning embers, and wish for all
sorts Of implements for protection.
The most successful teller" yet
found in camp has been Francis
Taylor, leader Of the Kow Kure
tent. Francis last night talked in
terestingly for at least thirty min
utes. The cleverness of his nara
tive was proven by t1e undivided
attention of fifty listeners" who
neither moved nor spoke during the
deliverance OF the tale
The Rainbow" tent won the pen
rant for having the best tent at in
spection. Incidentally Prof" Shick-
ell inspected. The tent. that in the
eyes of the visitors at camp today,
has the neatest cot, the cleanest
quarters. the best general order,
etc, will be given for a reward
one-hour's ride in Mr.. Baker
Mantz's motor boat.
This mornings Sunday school SER
vice was in charge of the Reverend
Gilbert Stansbury and with the aid
Of chart he demonstrated the path
taken by the children OF Israel in
their forty years OF wandering and
bow much nearer their goal would
lave been if they hadn't surrender
ed and would have taken the straight
path.
This afternoon DR.. Fred Wagner.
Of the Lutheran church. conducted
a regular camp sermon" Being i'm
pressed with the large pointed tents,
he told the incident from Lots life
when he took leave from Abraham
and pitched his tents towards the
wicked cities OF Sodom and Cor
moran and how by taking the easy
nnd fast life OF the cities he brought
misery and sorrow on himself and
his kinfolk. He then contrasted the
lives OF the boys with those of Abb
raham and Lot. and how we go the
way OF sinners oftimes, because we
dent want to miss anything the
TEST Of the world has and seems to
enjoy; OF how we follow worldly
lusts and pleasure because we
don't take Gods warnings ard steer
clear OF them.

camp gives UP poet, one with real
