ment. Under this plan the boys have
complete charge of the camp, taking
charge of the recreational features,
camp fire programs and the conduct
ing of a. camp court for those who
wander from the narrow path.
The camp will be under the direct
supervision of Executive Bartlett, who
has conducted the camp for the past
two years. Plenty or adult supervis-
los is assured with many OF the scout
masters making plans to attend the
camp with the members of their
troop. A junior staff made up of old
er scouts will assist in carrying out
the camp program.
DR.. Bledsoe, president of the county
council, pointed out the fact that the
camp was open to all boys who ara at
least IL years of age, by their making
application for membership in a troop
of their community. The scoutmasters
of the various troops will be glad tc
assist the boy in passing his tender
foot requirements, thus making him
a scout. For those boys in commune
ties where there are no troops, special
| arrangements will be made, if they
will write direct to scout headquarters
! at Bisbee.

SENIOR CLASS
PLAYERS MAKE
HIT IN BILLY

The members of the cast of the
senior class play, Billy" did them
selves proud last evening in their
rendition of the popular comedy and
were given liberal applause through
out the evening. Every member of
the cast played the part to which he
or she had been assigned to a de-
gree almost reaching perfection. Just
where each eXcelled is hard to say,
but George Dave, in the role of
Billy Hargrave, deserves perhaps
especial mention. He carried his
part with unusual ease and the part
was particularly difficult. In fact,
the selection of the cast showed that
each was adapted for the part.
Mrs. Sloane, and her daughter,
Beatrice, played by Clara Belle Chap
lin and Margaret Sweeney, were very
good in their parts. Alice, Billy's
sister, played by Mary Hickox, was
also well interpreted, and she sup
ported Dave very well.
The stewardess, played by Clara
Blum, won several rounds of ap
plause as her lines were cleverly
spoken. -
the audience by his stern interpreta-
tion of the character of Sam Eusta2e.
Isadore Kline, Levin Osel1 and John
Clerhiew, sailor, boatswain and cap
tain respectively, all lent the proper
atmosphere to the occasion and in
terpreted their parts with true sin
cerity.
Mrs. Hargrave and Mr.. Hargrave,
played by Catharine McFadden and
Albert Runkle were strongly con-
trasted characters, the gentleman be-
ing very outspoken and persistent In
his demands, while Mrs. Hargrave
was very sweet and interesting IN
her Interpretation.
Howard Wittig and Wesley Nor
rissey as. steward and doctor on the
S. S. Florida, Havana bound, played
their parts we'll All the ship Of
ficers were courteous and business
like in their dealings with the pas
sengers.

the lines came to a climax in the
final act where the football hero
takes his place and wins the girl.
Every member of the cast contributed
to the success of the play.
No small amount of credit is due

Five more persons went forward
last night for membership in the

audience for Saturday night serv-
ice, the house being practically filled.
Evangelist A. Ted Goodwin spoke
on "The Unchanging Christ" He EN-
phasized the thought of how every
thing we are familiar with is con-
tinually changing. That if one
should visit his old home in another
state from which he had been alb
sent 25 years he would scarcely
recognize his friends, who would be
bent with age. Then passing from
the material to his subject he showed
how Christ sis the same today, now
and forever" in His mercy, love,
compassion and desire to save sim
ners.
The evangelist's subject today at

THE TWO UNNAMED

You may conquer the plain with plough
And the forest With axe and saw;
You may pierce the hills with powder
drills
And shatter the mountains awe.
But there are two you will not subdue.
Though you curb however you can,
They will brave the test of your worst
and best
The sea and She heart of man,
The desert may yield as a watered field,
And the wind may grind your grain,
The rivers might may be y0ked in light
Or tug at a factory chain.
But muscle nor mind these two can bind
BY cunningest plot or plan,
They shall have free play to the Judg-
ment day
The sea and the heart Of man.
You may note their deeds and guess al
the creeds
That govern their cob and flow,
These are tales to tell while THEN pas
sions swell,
But the secret you never will know.
And, willing OF Ioath, you must love
them both,
Though Heaven alone may span
And fathom the breast Of their deep
unrest
The sea and the heart Of man.
