Mr. Snyder has had good success in 

 attracting common birds for several 

 seasons but this record seems to be 

 exceptional.

One Day In Southwest Missouri 



On June 27th, 1917, the Scout Mas- 

 ter of the Marionville troop of Boy 

 Scouts, with myself and three other 

 Scount Leaders set out in a Henry 

 Ford for Galena, Mo., twenty miles 

 away. In this drive at first we find 

 prairies and then drop off into the 

 head waters of a creek, following it 

 for about twelve miles. Then we 

 cross the range of hills and follow 

 another valley into Galena, on the 

 James River. 



As our business was to locate a suit- 

 able location for a two weeks Scout 

 camp we explored the James for a 

 matter of eight miles, up and down.
