Those who gather nothing in youth
have the same amount In old age.
OF two evils 1t is good to choose the
less but better to choose neither.
The short cut to doing your best
is to. resolve continually to do better,

BOY SCOUT NEWS


While the Boy Scout movement i.
growing rapidly the country over, vel
Liberal continues to take the lead in
this big movement and in providing
instructive entertainment for theil
Scouts.
The next big thing planned for the
boys who are making good, is the won
derful motor trip starting July 18th
for the Rocky Mountains. Liberal is
proud of her Boy Scouts and the abil-
ity being shown by practically each in
dividual Scout. The four troops con-
sist Of approximately 100 boys and
nearly all are putting forth their very
best efforts to meet the requirements
necessary to entitle them to make the
Western Trip. The boys certainly
have something worth while to work
for as this trip has been carefully
planned by those thoroughly familiar
with the Mountain roads and scenery
and view will be had of all the most
interesting and historic sights.
The first important stop will be at
Canon City, Colorado, which will be
reached via Pueblo. An invitation has
been accepted from the Warden of the
Penitentiary there, to visit his insti-
tuition, after which the autos. will be
driven over the famous Sky Line
Drive just west of the city, then trip
over wonderful road to Colorado
Springs and into camp. From here
day will be spent in driving to the
top of Pixies Peak. This is the most
instructive and interesting tour in the
Rockies and alone is well worth the
trip. From Colorado Springs the
drive will be continued north to Den
yer, the Capital City of Colorado. The
Denver Auto Club is known the world
over for its beautiful Mountain Parks
System and its wonderfully construc-
ted mountain roads. These will be in
spected and the boys given swim in
one of Denver's famous bathing beach,
es. Then on to the famous Estes Park
via st. Nrain Canon and Longs Peak.
After brief visit in this most beau
tiful Park, the bunch will motor down
the Big Thompson Canon, via Love-
land and Fort Collins, over the prairieII
country to Cheyenne, Wyoming. Here
the boys are going to beroyally enter
tanned and will see the interesting
sights at the Big Wild West Show, |
which has been held annually in Chey-
enc for the past 25 years. The Big
Celebration is opened July 25 with a !
parade such as cannot be equalled any
where else on earth. This year the
Boy Scouts of Liberal are going to
form new feature in this exhibition
and be given chance to show crowd
Of 10000 to 10000 people that they
have an organization second to none
in the United States. On July 26th
a visit will be made to TT. D. A. Rus
