important eevnts of the day was the

west of the city. Several acres OF
land including a large and very beau
tiful grove were secured for the site;
A large log cabin has been erected
for the use of the boys and a large
baseball diamond tops OH the WhOe
area making it fine for boys who love
the out-of-doors. Besides, a lake OF
perhaps a half mile length, has been
| formed through the construction OF

Kiwanians. serving as formal host ana
leader the picnic got under way with
a baseball game at o'clock. Troop

themselves in second game to which
they, as winners, were challenged.

or rather the champion, in the rifle
shooting contest.
In the centipede race the Kiwanians
won again. They raced heavy team,
consisting Of the fat men. led by s.

from the Scouts.
A. E. Tate presented the horseshoe
team with a prize of one gallon OF
unspiked, very delicious, cold and yet
exhilirating apple juice in reward for
the fine exhibition they gave in this
art. Even senators play horseshoes
and the sport is not a dead one by
good deal.
Gilbert Clark made the presenta-
ton speech in the rife shooting con-
test. S. L. Davis, with usual modesty
