The Boy Scouts.

Fifteen of the local scouts went on an over-night hike Friday evening. They went west to Charles Reed’s farm, where they pitched their tents for the night Supper is over and all is activity for a time; then the stars are observed and their locations observed. By means of the stars the boys are able to find their way by night. Eight o’clock and the boys turn in for a good night’s rest They are up with the birds and after breakfast the equipment is loaded and the boys are off for home.
