AN ODE TO CAMP LIFE.
The recent camp near Madison in
spired a number of rhymes, among
which was the following, contributed
by a Covington young lady:
•Just a camp life jolly and free,
We are campers, happy are we.
We line up and get our grub and
march along,
Then we eat it, singing a merry song
Then a high dive, next a swim
We can do it with a vim—
g e tt er than a palace with a glided
dome.
Is a camp life where we can roam.”
—Mabel Loyd, Covington.

TEACHERS TAKE EXAMINATION

Not So Noteworthy.
Some men take a great deal of credit
to themselves for having worked for
ail they have. It i* creditable, to be
sure, but it isn’t so unusual that it
need attract general attention. It is
the common way, and probably the
best. Occasionally, a mart discovers deal! a
, mine or realizes the
on
a rich aunt.'hut they are tint usually
as useful citizens nor as happy as
those whose wealth depends on some
thing more than luck or the chance of
birth. And working for what
have is also the only available m • .■<
open to the average man.—Arkansas
