much like our Texas weatliii had a
very little snow last winter I hear.
There's not as many facilities for en-

things to buy and spend money for,
but as a good camp this Is about as
good as 1 had at Harden City, pnd
better than the others I was in in the

healthy place. Tho country round

seen as general country able. Kng-

beautiful In some places in a way. It
leaves a pleasant impression In one's

Some of tlie people have lots of
money and some are not so well off,
of course, and it is very funny and pe-
