boys to mountain camps in the summer time. In time they did grow up

8,000 boys every summer an outing

“Shrimp”, told this story to the Sacramento business men. Sacramento is
raising $30,000 for its boy scouts. It
really looks as if the amount would
be oversubscribed.

to erect-in Pioneers park a big cabin
