Wednesday in. Boy Scout Camp.

There was very little change in the temperature an the banks of the Iroquois. A good breeze kept the air moving and (that made the campsite a pleasant place to be on a hot day. The boys arc- working on their Stout tests and most of the 'boys in camp will be second class Scouts by the time we break camp. Sane of the boys have passed the second class work and are well on the way to a first class Scout. This is the ambition of every good Scout. Mrs. Platt, Nowells and Zea brought a lot of 'good eats for the boys in camp. The shout of the boys ait their arrival is the best kind of a thank you. Two persons visited camp while it was deserted at the swimming period and the camp mistress allowed them to escape without identification. We are sorry not to be able to record their names. The following visited the camp: Dr. I. M. Washburn, R. B. Brown, Mrs. F. W. Osborne, Mrs. C. W. Platt, Mrs. Ch.es Zea, Arthur Zea, Billie Grant, Howard Swim, Arthur Blue, Paul Robinson, Willie Malone \ Paul Wynegar spent the night in camp. Tracking was the interesting test of the day. Five of the boys were able ito track a half mile in 25 minutes, others dropped out by the way.
