TRIP TO RIVER.
Shrimp Marshall Writes
OF Enjoyable Side
Tnp From Camp.
BY sHKIsrP IRIS

CAMP r. T. KEMP, Aug, 20.-Fn-
day afternoon, Commissioner L. C.
Goodrich, suggested taking a fishing
trip on the middle fork of the Powder
River. We left Camp r. T. Kemp.
Friday at 200 p. m. reaching Powder
River It 400 p. m. having our packs
carried half way to our destination.
We rested at Dead Mans Spring. then
we went on to where our packs wero
left.
Mr.. and Mrs. Goodrich. Whitley"
Westfall and myself stopping at an
Indian chipping ground. where wo
found some Indian relics; leaving these
hidden in some rocks until the return
trip. We went on until we overlook
the boys who were stu with the packs.
After resting q while. we proceeded on
to the Powder River, stopping onoe
more to rest, while Don Taylor caught
some fish for his supper.
After we arrived at our campsita,
which was near Powder River store.
we made ready for supper.
We had a. supper Of bread. butter.
coffee, potatoes and fish. After sup
per was over We made our beds and
had a good nights rest. We were
awakened by Forrest VirEne, blowing
his six o'clock whistle. We then got
up and cooked our breakfast OF bacon
and potatoes.
While drying their clothes by the
fire, Ralph Carmen. doc" Hylton
and several other boys burned some Of
their clothing and had to go back to
camp with what clothing they had
lsft. Ralph Carmen sur looked funny
walking back to lamp in his x. Y. DIS.
After this comical sight. we loft
camp, having orders to BIO back ut two
o'clock. Four OF us went about six
miles down the couyon. While we
were there We caught IS fish. We
caught some OF the largest fish that
were caught during our vacation.
When the tour OF US reached our
camp that afternoon. we found that
we were late and that the rest Of tho
boys had finished their supper. We
cleaned u fish and ate what was
left, which wasn't very much.
After eating, we gathered enough
wood for Council Fire. After we had
sat around the fire a while we went to
bed, sleeping peacefully until Sunday
morning.
At six o'clock Sunday morning, we
were up and building our fires. We
then had u breakfast which con.
histed Of pork and beans. corn, fish.
bread and butter.T The coffee was worse
than tat which Sergeant Palmer and
his cooks made. After breakfast. we
washed our dishes and then proceeded
TO pack our packs for the return jour
ney. After getting packed up we
found we had some bread and salt
left over. We gave this to a sheep
hsrdsr who IN return gave US some
tea for the sick boys IN camp. II sure
tasted good.
When we got about half waS to
Camp Kemp my pack became uncom-
Portable . This delayed me some dis
tGnce behind the others. I went on
reaching camp about a quarter OF an
hour after the main party reached IL.
II waB an very enjoyable outing.

the progress and prosperity of the
South, forestry men and agricul-

The problems which will face the

Some portions of the South's idle
lands can best be utilizing for re
forestation. Others are best
adapted for grazing and livestock
production. Others are best suit
ed for agriculture proper-for cot
ton, corn, wheat, truck and other
products. Some of these lands, it
is shown, should be planted in fruit

TWENTY-FIVE YOUNG
 FOLKS GIVE PLAY
"Rebekahs," Old Testament Mys-
 tery Play at M. E. Church

"Rebekah," an Old Testament mys-
 tery play, compiled by Marie E. J. Hobart, and presented at the summer school for church workers at Welles- ley and Lake Geneva, will be given in the Trinity Methodist church tomor- row evening by 25 young people who come from the Summerfield Metho- dist church of New Haven.
 The play is religious drama; it originated in the middle ages and was presented at solemn church festivals. These plays were called mystery plays" because they taught myster- ious doctrines of Christianity as rep resented by scenes from Scripture history, and the performance was al- ways in the church.
 These young people of New Haven have given this pageant in their own church and also before the county Sunday school convention in New Ha- ven. They were drilled by their pas tors wife, Mrs, M. F. Culver. Miss Edith Lowell Thomas came from Boston to direct the presentation and to furnish the Oriental costumes and settings. Miss Thomas is instructor of religious dramatic art in the Uni verSity of Boston, and is an authority on Biblical versions of dramatic art.

Strong Sermon by Rev. John Cot.
 ter, s. ], at St. May's Church

The Iadian reamed unmelestsd on
 the shores of this great continent and
 fshsd in it's rivers. hunted in its
 forests and there sas no one 10 dis
 puts hin. said Rev. John eolter. s,
 j.. to approximately 1900 men at the
 mission at st, Mary's church last
 evening. But the white man came
 and brought the land and the rivers
 from the Indian for a fes glass
 beads. Millions Of acres once were
 owned by the Indian who now Is con.
 fined to federal reservation. If he could reeHtabiish and make good his former title to Manhattan Island alone he would represent the richest tribe Of men in the world, But the Indian cannot regain the titles he sold for a few glass beads.
 When you were baptised you were given document written by God in the blood of Christ which entitled you to the infinite heavens But the devil came along and dangled the glass beads of pleasure or something that appealed to your baser appetites and you Wid. give me the beads He said, 'wait--give me the title deed you have written in your soul
 Heirs to the infinite fields of Golden heaven. you lost the title deeds for something that broke In your hand--brought misery and un- appiness---you sold your title deed to heaven for glass bauhles that are poison to your soul.
 "The Indian can never get back his title but men, you have got God that is willing to let you come back a hundred million times. IT your sins are as many as the sands of the sea He says, turn away to Me and shall forget them. If the wicked man turns away from his in- iouity and turns to me- saith the I ord God. I shall throw his sins behind me and forget them.'
 "What does He ask of you? Give nm the glass beads for which you | bartered your inheritance. He wants you in heaven. He doesn't care what you have done. Be your sins as scar let He will make them as wool. The lly that grows in the coal mine, that throws off the dust and gnme of the coal He makes no winter, no purer than He can do to your immortal ,oul."
 In his instructions before the ser non Rev. John Walsh, s. J., referred o the Holy Name society. He spoke ,f hearing young man on the treet using the name of God in dis .espectful manner "The Devil makes every effort to have us use hese names more and more," he aid, Knowing full well that the more we use them the less respect we are going to have for the person whose lame we use." Here he challenged nyone to name reason why fault hould be found with the objects of he Holy Name society. (
