taking care Of these which the cars
already on the grounds could not
bring home.
We are sure the Lubbock county
boys and girls, and grown-ups as
WELL who attended the encampment
have had two days great time this
summer. The Two-Draw Lake offers
exceptional swimming and boating
opportunities which were enthus-
iastically engaged in by the en-
campment delegation.
There is widespread interest in
Club work in West Texas. and the
things the various organizations ara
doing in advancing AGRICULTURAL in
terests in this section are numeroux
The majority Of our people being
agriculturalists, Il Ia easy TO see
that they are showing great interest
in that work. and whether or not
such get-to-gether meetings as the
Post encampment are gaining Tor
them can be seen from survey OF
the things done by the enthusiastic
participants In such events. and
those who. through lack of interest
or confidence IN the meetings, failed
