Camp Meeting
Opens This Week

On Friday of this week, the Church
of God will begin their second annual
Montana state camp meeting at Lib
by. Many will remember that last
June such a gathering was held next
to the church building on the corner
of Utah and Tenth, but the accommo-
dations were not such that the in
creasing crowds could be cared for
in satisfactory manner at that To-
cation and SO permanent camp meet
ing site has been purchased, during
the past year and the work of build
ing has begun. The new site, situated
one mile west on the Libby-Troy
highway, just north Of Rouse's dairy,
is an ideal one for camp meeting pur-
poses, with dense second growth TIM
ber and Parmenter creek traversinG
its entire length.
The camp meeting idea is a new
one to this section although many will
remember such gatherings back
east" in our younger days, but. the
west seems to take very favorably
to the idea as a number of large and
successful camp meetings have been
conducted in the west coast state4
for a number of years as we'll as
in many of the eastern states. The
one held here last year proved to be
very successful and profitable and ~
plans were laid at that time for the
present meeting. and representatives
from many of the towns east of the
Rockies, as we'll as many from tho
surrounding towns in Montana and
northern Idaho will congregate here
the last of the week for ten day
feast Of good things spiritually.
Our readers may be interested IN
knowing something Of the order OF
the day at this gathering. The day
begins with an early morning prayer
meeting followed by breakfast. Fol-
lowing breakfast various duties, such
as cleaning up the camp grounds,
minister's meetings, etc, are seen to-
Then a preaching service at 1000 =.
m. followed by dinner. At 2:30 p. m
there is another preaching service.
The children have their own meeting
at some time during the day and the
young people meet at 6:45, while 1t
7:45 another preaching service il
held, the nature of which is usually
evangelistic.
We have been requested to stress
the fact that the public Is welcome
to all these meetings. Many will be
glad to learn that Rev. t. Wade Good
of Walla Walla. Washington, who 10
ably conducted the evangelistic phase
of last years meeting, will be hero
again this year. Rev Good is accom-
panied by his wife, who is also =
preacher. There will be several other
ministers from outside points pres
ent and we dare say the preaching
program will be both varied, instruc-
tive, entertaining and inspiring.

Libby Boy Making Good.

Libby friends have received letter
from Barney Zakarian in which he
states that he decided not to enter
aviation but instead has secured q
position in Ford's mechanics school
in Detroit and is receiving wages of
$500 a day. This high wage is due to
the fact, he writes, that he is high
school graduate, those not high school
graduates receiving only 30 cents an
hour. Barney says he will receive
$3.50 a day this winter. Barney was
graduated from the Libby high school

A T the night club they decided upon, things
n were no better.
Il think it's perfectly grand to have some
one else to dance with for a change. I'm so
tired of always doing Michael's stuff, and I
suppose you're just sick of ChesterS. Let's
swap for the evening" gushed Ann.
Genevieve looked helplessly at Chester.
We'll, if she's sick of my dancing, the feel
ing isn't mutual" said Chester fatty land if
you can't stand to dance the first one with
Michael, you'll have to sit here until we come
back"
And then Genevieve was in his arms Her
cheek was close to his If he could have
taken her more completely into his arms and
arranged to have her cheek great deal
closer to his, Chester would have been per-
fectly happy. However, it seemed that fate
and their kind friends were all against that.
How long are you staying?" he asked Ann
when he said good night.
"All next week." was her disappointing re-
ply, land Michael is going to drive over real
often so We can have lot of fun

CheSters face registered disgust, for the fol-
lowing week, in the natural course of events,
there came a holiday. Chester had planned
something. 1t looked now as though he might
as well forget it. Still, when he talked it over
with Genevieve while Ann and Michael were
doing something extremely futuristc on the
piano, she thought it just might work out all
right.
THE Crosslys hate picnics," she said, "and
Ann and Michael are simply wild about golf.
They've arranged to spend the day at the
Country Club. OF course, they expect us to
go. too, but I know they won't care if we
don't"
But the Crosslys did care Mrs Grossly
said:
Chester, do understand you to say you
and Genevieve are going down to that cottage
in the country, by yourselves, for an all-day
picnic?"
That was what Chester had said, all right.
1t must have been the tone Of voice Mrs.
Grossly used which made it sound so different:
well, these friends of mine who own the
cottage will be there to chaperon u.s.
Chester hadn't arranged it that way at all.
Bill and Nora were in Chicago. But then,
Mrs. Grossly didn't need to know that.
II still don't believe it would be quite
proper" unused Mrs Grossly
well, see here" began Mr.. Grossly, who
felt bit sorry for Chester, "why not do this?
AL OF us go DOWN 70 the country 10 TINS coLtaBe
Chester has lined up?"
Now, wasn't that just what you'd expect
him to say? Chester bit his lip and once more
reviewing the EXPLANATIONS of regret this time
beginning way, way down on the list and COM
ing up to the gosh by gollies.
"Oh, I don't want to go on any poky old
picnic piped Ann. II want to be all dressed
up and go to the Country Club"
"Yes, and have decent dinner" added
Michael II haven't the sense of humor to
appreciate soggy sandwiches eaten OF the
ground with all the accompanying worms and
ants"
Genevieve could see Chesters dream fading.
But Michael it won't be like that at ALL
she said. There's a dear little white cottage,
with a table and chairs and stove so we can
make Coffee
Worse than ever" sullenly from Ann.
1--WE have dear little white cottage with a
table and chairs at home"
A BOUT this time Mr. Grossly thought they
"A might compromise
Wen all go to the cottage in the country"
he said THAT will please Genevieve and
Chester"

gether in the past year. He didn't know just
what he ought to do about it. Now, if the
Crosslys had been Genevieve's own parents it
would have been easy. She could tell them
that at certain hour they were to 60 to bed
like good children, and if they didn't obey her,
Chester could insult them some nice way. For,
after all, they would some day be just his in
laws.
But Genevieve thought certain amount of
respect was due the Crosslys. Chester felt that
they had collected that amount with compound
interest. He imagined he would just have to
keep on trying and maybe, some rainy evening,
ahe would find nice spot without at least three
other parked cars for company, and there he
could tell her what he had on his mind He
would then have to run the risk of getting the
diamond onto Mrs. Crossly's finger by mistake,
or worse still, of finding her beside him at the
altar.
He fell asleep thinking how very much he
was going TO be able to appreciate few hours
with her the next evening.
When he arrived at the Grossly home there
was a snappy blue roadster in the driveway,

and couple of strange voices in the living
room. Chester mentally reviewed the terms
he had heard in his lifetime for expressing dis
appointment, beginning with the gentler ones,
like golly, gosh, darn and gee. Then he went
in to meet Ann, who had roomed with Gene
We've at college, and Michael, an important
young person who had driven her over in his
roadster.
Lets all hop into Michaels car and go
some place" said Ann, who reminded Chester
Of the last two girls he had imagined himself
in love with. He thought he liked that whoopee
type pretty well until he met Genevieve.
Eyes, let's" said Genevieve. It'll be a
good chance to get of without the folks"
But Chester couldn't see that it made much
difference which folks you got of without SO
long as you had the other folks along who
were just as bad. Certainly all the kick there
might have been In rumble seat riding was
lost by having Ann up front. He no sooner
got his arm comfortably about Genevieve than
she would pop around with some thrilling
Renaissance or other which she was certain
shed forget to tell if she didn't do it right
that minute.

cially good job of it. They had
taught and lectured, educated and trained
her.
mo nit-wit, feather-brain like most of
these moderns," observed Mr.. Grossly as he
glanced pridefully at the beautiful specimen
which was the finished Genevieve.
Not flappsr thought in her precious head"
agreed Mrs. Grossly. Now we must keep her
that way"
Which won't be particularly easy with this
fresh young Chester hanging around all the
time" added Mr. Grossly And by the way,
he's coming tonight. Think We better stay
home from the movies?"
Mrs. Grossly thought they had. Chester had
been out of town for a week, and all day there
had been so much suppressed excitement in
the girls manner that Mrs. Grossly could tell
Genevieve was more than looking forward to
seeing him.
When Chester arrived all the plans had been
made for a little bridge game on the front
porch.
Its really a mighty nice evening for
ride said Chester when he discovered there
was no possibility of doing what he had been
dreaming about all week. which was to sit on
the swing with Genevieve listening to the
breeze in the vines at the end of the porch,
and to other important things
Genevieve looked questioningly, even bit
pleadngly, at the CroSslys, who steeled them
play a while before they went, anyhow.
At 10 minutes of IL Mr.. Grossly looked at
his watch.
MY word, dear, did you realize how late

Mrs. Grossly hadn't.
II was so absorbed in the game" she said
"Well do it again some time, Chester"
Chester knew that, only too well. And 1t
would be the very next time he came over hop
ing to spend the evening with Geneyieve alone.

L CrosSlys folded the table and went in.

That's fine. I'll come after they've gone

Could Gen. Grant ration them?
