KIDS IN KHAKI.

The local troop of Boy Scouts of America enjoyed another over-night hike. The hikers left Friday evening at 4:30 in good spirits. It was not long, however, until a broken ■wheel on the trekcart threatened to cut short the journey. The quality we like in them, when came to their rescue and a chorus of voices shouted “Dad has a cart,” and one of the group started' after it. The load of good things to eat and camp equipment was quickly transferred and we were off again.. The rest of the journey was made without trouble and the boys had a fine time. The pight was ideal* and the beautiful grove on Charles Reed’s farm made a delightful place for an over-night camp. The local troop has decided to make these hikes rather than to go on an extended camping trip.
