the Mustang district comprising
Cochran and Hockley counties was
held Thursday and Friday on the
Tellowhou.se ranch, with 50 boys
from troops of Levelland, Smyer and
Rundown participating
Camp was made at 4 p. m. Thurs-
day, and following breakfast and
eamp Clean-up Friday morning, the
boys participated in scout craft e-

scored are as follows: Wolf patrol.
Troop 24, 1330 (possible score, 1440);
Eagle patrol, Troop 24, 1310; Bob-

more and more books going out.
The circulation of books for May
was 3,569, an increase of 879 over
April, the previous highest month,
and an increase of 1,080 over Mby,
1945, the highest month of that
year. If every month should show
an increase of over 32 per cent over
the previous month as happened this
time, the librarians would have to
cry 'calf-rope.’
As usual the adult circulation had
a slight edge over the juvenile, a
ratio of 1348 to 1721. Among the
non-fiction, biographies led as usual
with useful arts, such as cook books,
agriculture, medicine coming in
second place.
Credit for the increased circula-
tion is given to the fact that a num-
ber of new books have been added
recently, to reading lists passed out
at the schools, and to the fact that
leaders present were J. W LaMar, many people are just now ‘getting
gcoutmaster of Sundown; Clyde around to’ taking advantage of the
