July Recreation 



VX7HEN you turn the pages of our July number, you will wonder what power can 

 keep you chained in the hot, smoky, dusty, unnatural old towns and cities and 

 why you were ever induced to adopt urban life in place of the freedom of the prairie, 

 the mountain and the forest. €^You will find articles written by people who have 

 lived in the woods, and pictures made by men who are familiar figures around the 

 camp fires. There is a buckskin flavor through all the pages. d^As you read, you 

 will in imagination inhale the fresh air from the hills, smell the balsam fir, feel the 

 cushion of brown pine needles under your feet, and hear the rush of waters and the 

 voice of the wind in the tree tops.
