t amping Trip
A dozen very tired hnd dusty and
"chiggery" boys plodded home Sun-
ay morning from Rocky Ford, on
Pryor creek, where they had spent
the night camping They hiked to
the camping site Saturday evening,
established a camp, and had a very
enjoyable time. Au interesting fea-
ture of the camp was the "standing
guard." There were six walcbes du.
jug the night, eueh of 1 hour and a
half duration Two boys stood
watch together at one time Of
course nothing exciting happened,
but the boys had as much fun as if
they had been surrounded by a band
of imaginary Indians. The camp
was successfully raided during Ihe
night by a band of hostile and very
ntuchly armed mosquitoes This ar-
my was ably assisted by a brigade or
two of chiggers. In the attack, the
campers received numerous wounds
of the "chlgger bile," variety, but
they have recovered from the effect
by this time This was the annual
encampment of the "Knights bf Ezel-
nh.” a local order for the boys, and
was supervised by Roy Harding.
