State Executive Committee were
present, including: State Secretary
v,rrAr, 70,
Vice-President W. W. Kerper, Ches-
void, and State Master of Forms
Harry c. Tee, Harrington. The Will
mington delegation were accompan-
led by Past State President Leslie F.
Downing, and Messrs. Cain and
Hutchinson. Past State President |
Davidson, of Magnolia, called during |
the business session. The first |
quarterly reports from the different |
camps throughout the state are |
very encouraging with the exception |
of two or three. In these cases not
much activity is being shown and |
the executive committee may be |
forced to transfer some of these
camps to stronger districts. The |
report from Hartley is especially |
encouraging. They have initiated /
fifteen new members since their last |
report. The National Camp is ex-
pected to send an organizer to Della
ware within a short time, and in
connection with his work the State
Executive Committee has mapped
out a schedule whereby they expect |
to visit every camp in the State in |
81, 1,ndzr hot aud fhn |
annual meeting of the State Camp. I

ed he had caught a strange animal
about the size of a mole. The ami

brought it to town for exhibition,
and to try to find someone who
knew the species. All of Tuesday
he perused encyclopedias and die
tionaries and other books on ami
mails, but failed to find anything
that would fit the description of the
animal he had captured. He made
his capture along the banks of jack
son Ditch, a large tributary empty,
ing into Murderkill Creek.
