left ulbertson on the local freight
about 1925. 1t took quite a while
but l got into Poplar about 4:3O.
The camp was located on the Indian
School Campus and when | arrived I
met Mr.. Noble who told me to go
to his office and register. I went
over to the building and seeing a
man in one room asked him where I
could register. He told me to come
into his office and he would register
me. He looked for some time before
he found the blanks and then began
to ask me all sorts of questions
which | thought very odd. Finally
he asked my age and when I said
| was fifteen he looked surprised and
said "Why you can't vote!" | told
him | did not want to vote but wish
ed to register for the corn camp.
He laughed and showerd me where to
go. paid my registration fee of So
and went back to the camp.
There were only five or six boys
there and we started to set up the
tents. More boys kept arriving and at
last we had twenty-six tents set up
and there were fifty-two boys, or two
for each tent.
Supper was served at the Indian
school at 1880 and then I went with
the other boys who had not regist-
cred to Mr.. Mobiles office. In the
evening we had three reels of very
nice moving pictures and then re-
tired. The next morning ravellie
was sounded at six o'clock. 1t be-
gan to rain so we listened to Mr..
Ogaard from the Agricultural Col
lege at Bozeman talk about corn
which was very interesting. At IL
o'clock we had dinner, after which
we played horseshoe and baseball.
The Browns got first in the horse
shoe tournament and Giants second.
