This is what the stories of the great pirate have hinted. All the children of Richmond wilt soon have a chance to find some of the fabulous buried treasure which has inspired treasure seekers for centuries to search for It . Just how the search is to be carried on, has not been definitely decided, but sure it is that Richmond children will have a fine chance to prove the truth of this strange rumor . ,

JapanesA Revere Beauty. The Japanese have a deep reverence for beauty which amounts al most to affection. One time a west ern traveler was going on a long, hot Journey by train in Japan and carried a bouquet of flowers given to him by a native, A Japanese boy in the train Insisted on spraying the flowers with water every two hours as he could not bear to see them fade,

This home-made bicycle makes farm lad happy. High costs do not bother this lad, for he made his own bicycle, and who can say that he Is not happier riding his home-made wheel than many a youngster Is with an expensive machine. Boys like this, whose brains dig up Ideas of practical common sense, make good men, whose brains can be counted upon In later years for the good of the nation.

SNIPE HUNT N' EVERYTHING MAKES FUN IN CAMP FOR SCOUTS OF TROOP 5

When the scouts of Troop 5 returned Tuesday from their five day camping trip on the McConaha farm it had not yet been fully decided on just which scout the biggest joke of the snipe-hunt was played. On first thought everyone might decide it was on Bill who, armed with a big sack went forth to hunt but then what of Jimmy and Terry and the others who lingered in the woods as a guard to the hunter but who lost the whereabouts of the one they stayed to watched; ' and then, too, what of Eddie and the rest who, sitting calmly in camp, thought they heard a horse and wagon coming toward camp when It was only the panting of the hunter Bill, making a homerun? Anyway the camp was a complete success an deverybody had a splendid time. They did not lose any sleep even though Ernie insisted on telling fish stories during his hours of somnolence. Profiteering Scheme Failed Completely Scoutmaster Perry Wilson reported a "great" time. too. Mr. Wilson was appointed the official paddler (this doesn't have any ref erence to canoes) of the troop but no report was given that he performed this duty. Saturday, the day of the big Denrpsey-Oarpentier fight, Eddie and some of those other Wood Pig eons planned a big profiteering scheme. They decided to hike to Centervllle, learn the news and the victor of the fight, then return to camp and charge each stay-at-home, one cent to divulge their knowledge. But, alas, Bobby Burns was right when he said: "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men. Gang aft a-gley." for Ernie's father and mother appeared late Saturday afternoon in an automobile, told all about the fight and so forced Eddie and his friends to go without some much desired cash. ,

What of Jimmie'a Raft? Did Jirumle and Eddie and some of those other scouts really want to make a raft, or did they want an extra swim (more than the camp rules allowed) or were they just going on a journey for their pop bottles that they had hidden up the river the night before? No

body knows. They refused to be explicit when questioned about the raft. Tent No. 4 the Favorite Speaking of pop, makes us think of something more substantial the "eats." Different boys tfcted as K. P.'s and all made good chefs according to Scoutmaster Wilson. A variety of food was served, pancakes and apricots and oatmeal and lots and lots of other things good to eat in camp and there was always plenty of it. Of the seven tents which made up the camp, tent No. 4 was voted the most popular. You can guess why, of course. It was the dining tent. Bond and Hosbrook for Champion Sleeper Until this camp was held, Claude Bond held first place as the soundest sleeper in the troop as a result of a decision rendered after an allnight hike taken a year ago. Now he has a strong rival for this record, for Howard Hosbrook has a big "hunch" that he was ducked one morning but he says he isn't quite sure for he "was asleep." We really think he should take place above Claude. The boys who went on the camp were, according to their given names which were seldom heard: Scoutmaster Perry Wilson, patrol leaders J. Ronald Ross, Edward Mull and Ernest Russell; Charles Weaver, Carl Shafer, Everett Hosea, Howard Hosbrook, Perry Botkin, Northrop Elmer, William Campfield, Forest Plerson, Theodore Hickman, James Bcnore, Hubert DeBeck, Claude Bond, Robert Morgan, Lester Baldwin, Leonard Baldwin, Robert Holding and Maurice Mendendick. j

Saturday evening at 8 o'clock a little program of dances will be given in the Starr Piano display rooms at the corner of Tenth and Main street by the pupils in dancing of Miss Elizabeth Kolp. A second performance will be given in the large east window of the Starr rooms at 9 o'clock. Both entertainments are for the pleasure of all interested in dancing and especially in children's dancing. The rooms will be attractively decorated with flowers and palms. Marjorie Robinson to Give Parasol Dance Marjorie Robinson, nine years old, who is one of the entertainers for the evening, deserves special mention. For six years Marjorie has been handicapped by sickness

and has had to live in a plaster cast. She could walk but could not run and Jump. She had a great big desire to get well and strong and to learn to do things, and she wanted to learn how to dance. For over three months, Marjorie has been taking dancing lessons and now as she joyfully says, "I can bow like the other children." She looks forward to doing many, many more things "like the other children" in the coming months. Marjorie is popular as a reciter, too, and has , given recitations in many places in (Continued on Page Two) TROOP NO. 1 BOASTS SOUND SLEEPER ON OVERNIGHT HIKE Usually the birds waken rarly, before other folks, but one sparrow at least was very, very hard to awaken Thursday morning when the boys of Troop No. 1 of Richmond Boy Scouts were on an overnight hike. That Sparrow's first same waa Stanley and it took all the efforts of Scoutmaster Heary and the fellow scouts to get him up. The boys left Wednesday afternoon at 1:30, and hiked to Hartmann's farm where they pitched their tent along the river, not lar from the Middleboro pike. During the evening several good stories were told by Glen Brumley and Stuart Binkley. Following these Scoutmaster Heary gave a short talk to the boys. The boys enjoyed some good swimming while in camp, only next time they think they will elect guard for Binkley, as he is apt to get so interested in playing that he forgets to swim in water over his head. The patrol leaders of this troop are James Hart, leader of the Wolf patrol; Robert Thomas, leader of the Eagle patrol, and Stuart Binkley, leader of the Beaver patrol. Harold Perclfield is the assistant scoutmaster of the troop. Notice. The time of meeting r the Junior Life Saving class has been changed by Mr. Thomas Wilson, leader of the class, from 2:30 o'clock on Monday afternoon, to 2:30 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. Twenty-five boys have signed up for each of the groups, Junior and Intermediate, to go on the ten days' camping trip conducted by the Y. M. C. A. at Camp Kern. The time when boys may put in their application for this camp will be up in a few days, Mr. Perry Wilson announced Thursday. The Junior boys will camp first, leaving Richmond the twenty-first of July. This Is an unlucky year for gardeners, but Junior gardeners, do not get discouraged. Mr. Perry Wilson, leader of the boys' garden clubs of the "Y" says to tell the boys It is going to rain some time.
