Will ORGANIZE
BOY SCOUTS HERE
THE MOVEMENT WHICH HAS AT
TRAcTEo ATTENTION OF EN-
TIRE NATION HAS REACHED
FAReo-PATRoLs WILL BE
FORMED BY THE Y. M. c. A.

The boys scout movement has
reached Fargo. Through the efforts
of the Y. NJ. G. A., several patrols
will be organized this fall and it is
expected that the movement will meet
with great approval in this city.
While the boys scouts will not be
organized as a part Of the Y. M. c. A.
that institution is promoting it here
and the officers of the association
have taken hold to help start the
movement that is being pushed to
national society all over the country.
The scouts in this country is "a mill
tary organization, being patterned
after the organization of like name in
England. In fact Baden Powell, the
great British general. was the one to
interest the Americans in the idea.
This was supported by Gen. Nelson A.
Miles. who has taken much interest
in the idea and is pushing its or
ganization all over the nation. Far
go will be one of the first places to
have regularly organized patrols.
The reasons for organizing bodies of
boys scouts are many. Primarily it Is
rising generations a semi-military
training at least and in years to come
a means of furnishing the country
with men who are, in measure, pre-
pared for it's defense. To the boys
who are fortunate enough to become
members of the organization it is of
immense value. 1t is intended to give
them that dicipline so necessary in all
vocations and Undue into them
knightliness that will make them bet
ter and more useful civilians as we'll
as partially trained soldiers. Probably
one of the most useful things taught
Is first aid to the injured, which has
on many occasions in England, the
home of the boys scouts, saved lives
and given aid to the suffering.
Have Honor Grades.
1t is the intention mere to make the
organization one not easy to enter
thus creating an esprit de corps that
will make the organization more eff
fective than if it were an easy matter
to become members. If the local or
ganization is formed along the lines
indicated by the English scouts and
the few American organizations that
have been formed, there will be sew
eral honor grades. The boys will
secure promotion for deeds of bravery,
for proficiency in scouting. drill, first
aid and the other subjects taken up.
Medals will be given such cases by the
national organization, making the
winning of any of these medals an
honor.
Just when the Fargo patrols will be
formed has not yet been decided on,
but it will probably be when the boys
of the Y. M. c. A. begin their seasons
activity.

FOR STEALING
BRASS PIECES
CHARLES GREEN, MINNEAPOLIS
BOY, ARRESTED ON CHARGE OF
STEALING BRASS FROM ENGINE
AT HOOPER MANUFACTURING
co.-HELD TO COUNTY COURT.

In police court Charles Green, who
gave Minneapolis as his home, was
brought up before the magistrate on
charge Of stealing number Of brass
pieces from an engine at the Hooper
Manufacturing Co. At first the lad
denied the charge, but later admitted
that while he did not commit the
theft it mad been his intention to APP
propriate the brasses and dispose of
them at The junk shops. He was held
to the county court and his bond was
fixed at 500, in default of which he
was sent to the county jail to await
trial.
Green was quite youthful in appear
ance, though he stated his age was
% He looked rather delicate and said
he had been sickly and had intended
stealing the brasses in order to buy
some medicine. According to his story
he came out Of the hospital at Min
neapolis where he had undergone an
operation. During the summer he has
been working in the harvest fields in
the immediate vicinity, sending his
money to his widowed aunt and grand
mother, who reside in Webster, N. Y.
The boy stated that he was expect
ing to return to the Minneapolis hos
pital as soon as he could get away.
Close questioning disclosed the fact
that while he was found alone when
trying to make away with the brass
pieces, at the Hooper plant he was
being assisted by others who were
probably more guilty than he. Green
could not give the names of the other
boys implicated, but said that two 9TH
er fellows had detached the pieces
from the engine and that it was his
part to get them
The police department was instruct
eo to search for the others at once as
1t is believed they are still in the city.
AS Green is anxious to leave for Min
neapolis at once, 1t is probable he
will ask Judge Hanson for an imme-
date hearing.

TO N. o. PosTMAsTERs.

To the Postmasters Of North Dakota:
/ notice that the league of postmasters
for this state has nominated me as
one of the three candidates from which
the selection is to be made of one
delegate to attend the national league
at Chattanooga, Oct. 1914, 1910.
appreciate the honor, but / would pre-
fer to have either of the other gentle
men named as delegate instead of my
self, as will probably attend the con-
vention of first-class postnasters at
Richmond, Va, in September, and it
would therefore be hardly fair for me
to take in both of these conventions.
The other nominees are w. H. Ste
vens of Wimbledon and Charles Doyon
of Doyon. Mr. Stevens is secretary of
the state league, Is an energetic and
capable postmaster with good powers
of observation, and If he was selected
would bring back fund of valuable
information for his associates. Charles
Doyon is one Of the best fellows on
earth. thorough business man, and
would be decided credit to the state
were he selected as a delegate.
It is difficult for me to decide which
of these two gentlemen would best fill
the bill, but know that either of them
would do more good than / could.
presume that the other postmasters of
the state will be of the same view, and
therefore this appeal will simply be
letting myself down easy as a defeated
candidate, but / really hope that one
of these gentlemen will be named, and
I would like to see them both go, If
the rules of the national league al
lowed two delegates.
