The Rotary Club

Fifteen Rotarians cars decorated
with flags departed from the Court
House at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning.
The line of cars drove down Kansas
Avenue, and all the children of the
party were blowing small horns.
The Club drove to Sharps Creek
and upon arriving there built a small
dam across the creek to form a pool
for swimming. Dinner was served
and the afternoon was spent in wad-
ing and swimming. The men folks
played horse shoes and they soon de-
cided that it was too tame, so they
tried throwing one another in the
creek. Rev. Walker and Chas. Leete
were victims of this sport. There
was a plentiful supply of fireworks,
Ice Cream, lemonade, and red soda
pop.
The Club started home about five
o'clock, declaring that this was truly
a Glorious Fourth. About 62 child
rem were the guests of the club.

AMERICAN LEGION
CAPTURES LIONS
Best Game of Season Tuesday Wit
messed by Large Crowd. Score +
Was 2 to 5.

The second game of the city league
schedule was played Tuesday between
the American Legion crack team and
the Lions Club. The game was inter-
esting from beginning to. end and but
for one inning, the fifth, would have
looked very much like professional
ball. George New made the first
run for the Lions in the first inning
on combination of errors and a
short pop up. The Legion made their
first run in the third when Tobias
got life on a scratch hit. Malone
made second on drive over second
scoring Tobias.
The fifth was the fatal inning for
the Lions. Tobias hit for two bases.
Malone walked and stole second. To-
bias and Malone scoerd on short fly
to left by Tucker, who made second
on an error. Jordon got scratch hit
and stole second, and then scored on
more run in the sixth which wound up
the scoring for both teams.
Joe Berwick did the mound work
for the Lions and Hamp Jordon twirl-
ed them across for the Legion. Both
Of the pitchers were in tight places
several times, but both pitched good
ball and came out in good shape. A
few more such games as this one will
attract more interest to the city ball
games. There was a large crowd out
Tuesday and all enjoyed the game,
and as soon as the Smith Athletic
Field is put in shape the games will
be more interesting and the league
put on a more sound financial footing.
The next game Of the schedule will
be Friday night when the Methodist
church and the Fire Department cross
bats at the grounds south Of the city
Another game will be played Monday
evening at o'clock between the Fire
Department and the railroad team
Both of these games promise to be
good ones and large crowd should
/ be out to see them. ...,-

LOCAL GIRL SCOUTS ENJOY
FOUR-DAY CAMPING TRIP
Thirty-Six Girls Camped, Fished,
Played, and Explored Country
Around Beaver Gun Club


Thirty-six Girl Scouts, sunburned,
happy, enthusiastic, and reluctant to
leave camp-life, returned to their
home here Friday evening, full Of
glowing accounts of those four, near
ly five, days at the Beaver Gun Club.
After pitching camp and settling
little differences about camp loca-
tions, the girls started for the river,
determined to learn to swim. After
going three or four miles out of the
way "the ole swimmin' hole" was
found, tested, and pronounced great.
That evening the girls lined up for
a cold lunch. That lunch sure chit
the spot", and was the first Of q
weeks succession Of good, square
meals. Retreat was sounded and
the girls saluted as the flag was
lowered. Then the hills were COW
cred with groups of girls on explor-
ing trips, and later some thrilling ex-
periences were told at campfire. At
taps everything quieted down for
minute or two, then white-clad fig
ures crept and darted from tent to
tent, avoiding the rays of the guards
flashlights. v
To recount each days. adventures
and events would turn this paper into
regular scout camp edition, so wa
will merely point out some of the
main events.
The camp was situated in an ex-
ceptionally suitable place for explo-
rations as there are many hills and
trees behind the camp house. The
sand hills were especially inviting.
Black currants furnished "in-between
times-eating" for those who wished
them. The schedule which was print
ed last week was followed very
closely though it sounds so cut and
dried with the fun that we had In
carrying 1t out. Swimming was one
of the big features, and the sun
burned necks did not matter at all
to those who learned to swim, and
most of the girls are included in that
list that did learn. 20
Between retreat and camp fire
there were some real base ball games
staged, with spectators, players, and
! umpire all excited. Thursday morn
ing there was track meet with
candy prizes for the winners in the
various events.
Every night, except Monday, there
was little shower-just enough to
cool things off. Tuesday evening the
officers executed a much apprecia-
ted surprise. There was a. plate Of
taffy to pull and eat for each two
girls Then at our last camp fire,
Thursday, we toasted marshmallows.
The officers and chaperones were
good sports and they, Miss Scandrett,
Miss Winters, Miss Henry, and Mr..
and Mrs. Eli Walker, will Away be
happily remembered by us.
Wednesday some of the party
caught about thirty fish, so we had
fish for supper that evening. At camp
fire that evening each patrol gave a
stunt and all enjoyed this fun.
Every minute was full and there
were no serious accidents, though
the adhesive tape was in use con-
stantly.
SO, the time was up and the cars
came all too soon; but those ice
cream cones they brought us) to
bring us home. But we want the
business men who made the trip pos
sible to know that we'll remember
it always.

MRS. FRISBY WON FORD
IN EVANS SALE CONTEST
Ester Shorb Close Second With
Alice Murray TSird by
Small Margin

The auto contest in connection witt
the big sale conducted by the Evans
Harness Company, closed Saturday
night at 10 o'clock. There was quite
bit of rivalry among the leading
candidates and all were more or less
anxious for the hour of ten to arrive
so they could determine who had the
car.
When the votes were counted it
was shown that Mrs. T. N. Frisby
living seven miles south Of town had
the most votes and took the new Ford
touring car. Ester Shorb was very
close second and Alice Murray was
not far behind Miss Shorb.
E. A. Evans of the firm said to a
Democrat reported that he was"tick-
led to death" with the results of the
sale, and intimated that it went better
than he expected it would.
The sale was conducted by VIM.
Wiltrout, an experienced sales mana
ger, and we can say for him that he
is a real gentleman, strictly business,
and that he knows the sales game
from start to finish. Our dealings
with him during the sale were very
pleasant and we are glad to know that
the firm for whom he conducted the
sale is pleased.
The Democrat congratulates Mrs.
Frisby on her success and wishes her
all pleasure in the use of her car.
