License Obtained.

J.O. Gilson's saloon license ex-
pired last May. The drys have
been claiming that as the federal
census did not show 1000 people
that another license could not be
granted, The special census taken
by the city shows a population of
2043 for that part of the city in
Monroe County. Monday the mat
ter of granting Mr.. Gibson a license,
came up before the County Court
Quite delegation went up from
this city. The drys were repre-
sented by Judge Barnes, j. P,
Boyd represented Mr.. ellison. After
quite a hard legal battle the court
decided that it had no option as to
the census but must recognize the
city census as legal and as the
GilsOn petition contained the re-
quired number of signers the
license was granted. Mr.. Mudd's
license was also renewed.

About the Boy Scouts Of America.


N tturally many queer ideas are
prevalent as to what the Boy Scout
movement is. Some conclude that
it is an organization for prospective
warriors and blood-thirsty ones at
that; others thatit is for good.goody
little boys. 1t is neither. give a
brief synopsis of the character of
the organization below. 1t takes a
book to tell all about it, a book
worth reading, too.
No special kind of suit is requir-
ed. Those wLo buy scout suits
they are excellent rOugh-and-tumble
garments need not purchase from
any particular person or house.
There is no local graft in any way
connected with it.
The Scout Law is ae follows:
1. A scouts honor is to be trust
ed.
If a scout were 10 break his
honor by telling a lie, or by not
carrying out an order exactly, when
trusted on his honor to do so, he
may be directed to hand over his
scout badge, and never to wear it
again.
2. A scout is loyal to his parents,
his leaders, his country and to all
others to whom loyalty is due.
3. A scouts duty is TO be useful
and to help others. He must be
prepared at any time to save life
OF to help injured persons. And he
must try his best to do a good turn
to somebody every day without re-
ward.
4. A scout is a friend to all, and
a brother to every other scout.
5. A scout is courteous. That is,
he is polite to all, but especially to
women and children, and old people
and invalids, cripples, etc And he
must not take any reward for being
helpful or courteous.
6. A scout is kind to animals. He
should save them as far as possible
from pain, and should not kill any
animal unnecessarily.
7. A scout obeys orders of his
parents, patrol leader or scoutmas-
ter. This is discipline.
6. A scout is cheerful and smiles
whenever he can. His obedience
to orders is prompt and willing. He
never shirkS nor grumbles at hard,
ships.
9. A scout is thirty, that is he
saves every penny he can and puts
it into the bank. 50 that he may
have money to keep himself wher
out of work, and thus not make
himself a burden to others; or that
he may have money to give away
to others when they need it.

ITEMS FROM FARMERS
of Farmers, For Farmers and Per-
tanning to Farmers.

When you figure on a sale and
want Col w T Youell to cry it, call
Elbert Yates at the F g. M Bank.
He can give you the Colonels
dates.
Bower and Baldwin are going to
sell at puolic sale at the S B Bower
farm 4 1-2 miles north of Andrew
Chapel on Tuesday, Aug. Is their
personal property consisting of II
horses and mules, 6 cattle, 36 hogs;
some feed farm implements etc.
Farming is becoming more scien=
tific every year. The high price of
land makes it necessary for the
farmer to get more out of his land
and this can be done only by the
farmer studying how to grow more
to the acre, how to profitably rotate
crops, what is the best ration for
all kinds of stock and how to Sc
cure it at the lowest price and
many other things along this line.
The Democrat will be of great ben
fit to its readers along this line and
it can and will be more helpful as
the farmers cooperate with us.
Every farmer has experimental.
Some have proven profitable, 9TH
ers failures. Use the Democrat to
tell your neighbors about your sue
cess or failures and you will help
them and their work will help you
and the standard of crops and
profits on stock will be increased
and you and all this vicinity will be
greatly benefited To dc the most
good we must have your hearty CO.
operation. Are you with us in the
work. Let the battle cry be more
prosperity and a more pleasant life
for the farmer. Work and we will
win. Its up to you, Mr. Farmer.
Then there are the farmers wives
and daughters. They toll long and
their duties are arduous. Lady, do
you know of any thing which will
tighten the work of your sisters on
the farm. Then take the time to
write it out for the Democrat and
we will be taking a burden from the
shoulders of many a tired worker.
1t is not only our duty to help ele-
vate character and lift the load
from the shoulders of our fellow
humanity. but it should be a great
pleasure to do so. Lady, let us
hear from you on this line or any
thing pertaining to making farm
life more pleasant. If you do there
are many who will bless you and
you will feel better for having done
a kindness.

GENERAL DODGE 30 YEARS OLD.

NEW YORK, April 12.-Generai Grenville M. Dodge, one of the very
 few surviving corps commanders of
 the Union army. celebrated his efghtieth birthday anniversary to- day. General Dodge spends the greater part of the year in this city,
 though he has always retained his home in Iowa, of which state he has been a resident since 1854. Entering the civil war as colonel of the Fourth Iowa Infantry in 1861, he became a brigsdier general of vol unteers in 1882 and a major general or volunteers in 1864. After the waf he returned to Iowa and resumed railroad work as chief engineer of the Union Pacific lines. He su5se quently became chief engineer ol the Texas and Pacific and has built more lines of railroad. it is said than any other man in the United States. Of late years he has had i large corporation interests. From 1867 to 1869 he represented one oi the Iowa districts in congress. Gen
 eraT Dodge succeeded General Sher
 man as president of the Society ol the Army of the Tennessee. and he | has been commander-in-chief also oi | the Military Order of the Loya
 Legion. He served as head of tkt

 dent in 1898 to inquire into the management of the war with Spain

 Supervision of the public utilits corporations would mean publicity. Publicity necessarily insures greater conservatism. l am convinced thas reasonable national supervision is not far off; these statewide discus sions. laws and theories which are interesting every thinking American today are a natural development in our financial history. Sentiment IS slowly and surely forming along thhat line; those of us who have studied the problem know that pub lic utility corporations will be su1er' yised by the government eventually.
 Fine Dividing Line
 The fine dividing line between supervision and control is where the pest thinkers will have to get to- eerber. It would not seem right for inc federal authorities to say to the railroads just what they can do year in and year out; that would be taking away from the railroads the very power which has made then. inc greatest developers of America
Bisbee daily review., 1911-04-13

If railroads in the past had been re- iarded through too stringent legisla- ton in entering territory which was supposedly barren. great sections oi the west would not have been opened and the stocks of those roads would not be paying dividends. 4 board Of supervision, a state body. what erver plan was adopted, could not possibly absorb all the data. figures. plans and estimates of which eyery new railway project necessitates the mastering. There is a wide differ. ence between supervision and cor trol. but this big feature of the prot lem will he whipped out and solved in time
 We Americans are pretty thor ough in our method Of adjusting economic conditions; our only trotr ble is that we gre likely to go oii half-cocked We some times fail tn discriminate.
 The getting rid of what is bad in Wall street will be accomplished py intelllgent supervision, but III the discussion of corporations we should not condemn the good with the bad.
 The doyetailing of the state laws and the method of national super. vision into one harmonious. intelli- gent whole, is sure to come. The only question now before us is the proper education of the American public to the real needs of the sit nation Hysteria and soap-box oratory must be supplanted by intelligent reasoning; when this is accom- plished, all the petty details of diff ference will be swept away anu the big utility corporations will be properly and eonservatively super. vised and the day of publicity in big corporations wi1l be at hand"

COST OF LIVING.

That Americans Up to the present time have enjoyed the cheapest food the world has ever known is as- serted by Dean Eugene Davenpor. of the Illinois College of Agriculture X continent has been extrayagantly developed almost within d genera. ton and the price of food has rep resented little beyond the cost oi labor in it's production. In Kansas, corn was once burned as fuel
 Land has been practically free and it is only recently that agri- culture has become conscious that it is a capitalized business. But with the ascension of land values from virtually nothing to hundreds oi dollars an acre, the capital invested requires a proporsionate return.
 Not many years have passed since the bulk of the meat and butter il America was derived from herd which plucked in freedom on th' public domains; now, however, cat tie must be fattened on expensiy' lanJr arc shipped in special cars indairy COWS must be housed in san itary buildings. This has lifted labor in many branches of agriculture from the common into the skilIe' class.
