BOY SCOUTS
FORM UNION
ENGLISH GENERAL TAKING THE
LEAD IN ORGANIZA-
TIONS.

The movement is on foot to organ
ize an international association of
Boy Scouts. 1t. General Sir r. S.
S. Baden.Powell, who organized the
Boy Scouts of England and gave
scoutcraft such an incentive that the
Boy Scout movement has spread in
three years through at least 25
countries and colonies throughout
the world, has originated an idea of
an international association, and
has asked Boy Scouts of America to
become part of what he terms some
sort of mutual international bond"
His suggestion has been received
favorably by James E. West, Eyecu-
utive Secretary of the Boy Scouts of
America and will be laid before the
Executive Board at it's next meeting.
Baden Powell looks upon an inter-
national organization as a step to
universal peace among nations and
as a further aid to the development
of the Scout Movement in the inter-
est of the better education of boys
throughout the world. In stating
the objects Baden Powell says he re-
CARDS the international bond GAS
step to universal peace, to promote
better mutual knowledge and clos
err sympathy between the rising gen.
GRAFTON Of the different nations
through the brotherhood of the Boy
Scouts, but the interchanging of cor
respondence and visits of the boys,
conferences and so on" and also ITO
keep the different organizations in
formed as to any developments and
changes in the Boy Scouts training"
He writes further, "a represen-
tative in England can be appointed
by each country in which there is
a recognized Boy Scouts organiza-
ton. He would be in touch with the
headquarters of the Boys Scouts for
the above object. These representa-
tives would meet occasionally in con-
ference, say, once a year. Their fur
Their duties and other steps for pro-
noting the above objects would be
left to them to devise as time and
experience may dictate"
Baden-Powell will visit this Soun-
try in February and at that time the
scope of the new organization will be
discussed with the leaders Of the
Boy Scout movement here.

JUDGE GREEN
Farmers Are You Prepared For Cana
dian Reciprocity. It's Alright
East but Not r0r Iowa.

Audubon County does not look upon
the Candidacy of Judge Green. whom
his party-not faction-has brought
out to represent the Ninth Congress-
ional District in Congress, AS DOES
CASS COT NTY. The Judge came to
this County poor man, and by his
integrity has risen from a partnership
in law firm, to that of Judge of the
District Court. By his strict atten-
tion to business, and always with the
thought of curtailment of courts, ex-
penses and, too, with decisions rem
dered according to the evidence in
each case regardless of personal likes
or dislkes, we have proven his man
hood, his honesty, his Integrity, his
ability AND BY THESE VIRTUES WE
KNOW HIM. For Is years be has occu-
pied his present position and always
by larger vote than his party cast.
His clear conservative methods won
for him their admiration, their trust
in him has NEVER BEEN BETRAYED.
He stands today firmly on the plat.
form of his party mot faction) square-
ly against reciprocity with Canata a
which he believes will chearen every
thing Iowa farmers raise.

MR.. CLEVELAND
A Fine Gentleman. A Scholar And A
Person Whom Every One Would
Delight To Honor.

Mr. Cleveland, the nominee of the
Council Bluffs Democratic Convention
of recent date is as fine man as any
one could wish to meet. A perfect
gentleman in manners, scholar, and
one who would make fine appearing
and influential representative. But
while Mr.. Cleveland is all this, and
more, is he not at this time represent
ting principal that is vital and dan
gerous to the farming interests of oflowa?
This question must not be lost sight OF
in your decisions at the Polls next
Monday. Canadian Reciprocity means,
if it means anything, cheaper farm pro-
ducts, but not cheaper labor; and old
Iowa a dumping ground for the pro-
duets of the cheap lands of Canada.
Vote intelligently voters regardless of
party or faction.

FIRE
Fire In Greeley township Consumed
Barn, Horses, And Con-
tents Generally.

Saturday morning at 3 O'Clock,
disastrous fire occurred on the Peter
Thuesen farm in Greeley township on
which Chris Christensen ia a renter.
Mr.. Christensen was awakened by
the bright light and upon looking out
saw the new barn all ablaze. He has
tened to the scene only to find tn at
five of his work horses were being
consumed, but he managed to release
one from the flames but not before it
was very badly burned. All of his
harness, grain, and about carload of
baled hay ready for shipment went
up in smoke. The barn, a granary
and separator house were completely
burned up. The house was saved
after it had caught fire in several pla-
ees on the roof. In trying to save the
house Mr.. Christensen received sever.
al severe burns. Two OF the horses
Chris had been offered $500 for onlv q
short time ago.
MI Christeneen had about $500 in
surance on his horses while his loss is
much more. Mr.. Thuesen carried
$3.50 on the barn while his loss is per-
haps as much more.

WILLIAM MASTERSON
Bought New Single Seated Auto And
May Be Seen Developing His

Mr.. William Masterson has bought
new Brush auto and after q little
practice will take his place in the
procession and try out the River to
River Road for a few miles that lie
between here and his fine farm up in
Greeley. We don't know of anyone
who will enjoy autoing more than
Uncle William.
He no doubt will take comfort with
this new vehicle and many idle hours
will be enjoyed visiting at the old
home in Greeley and calling on old
neighbors. The drive to the farm with
horses usually took an hour and q
half but the auto way of doing things
will cut the trip to thirty minutes and
perhaps less. 1t all depends bow Mr..

THE CONTEST ON
Capital Explains Situation, Green
Nominated By Standpatter, His
Advice, Give Hearty Support
To Judge Green.

Lafe Young in the Capital.last We'd
nesday says: "The Republicans have
nominated Judge Green in the Ninth
District for Representatives in Congress.
: = There is no charge of corrup-
ton against him. The facts would
seem to indicate that the Judge was
nominated by Standpatt ers. 1t is not
claimed that the Judge has been IA
Standpatter. He denies that he is o
Progressive. He asserts that he is OF
posed to free trade with Canada. TIE
convention took radical action in OPP
position to the proposed trade agree
ment with Canada and this ought to
satisfy the estandpatters. Now
the ProgressiyeS are either keeping still
or are changing their minds and are
ready to come back into the Republican
fold. Having licked the progressives
out OF their boots on their principles,
and having carried the Ninth District
against the Canadian Reciprocity we
want to enquire Can the Standpatters
afford to defeat Judge Green"
They nominated him. They had the
opportunity to nominate regular
Standpatter. Having failed tosdo SO,
CAN THEY HoNoRABLY GO BACK ON
THEIR OWN WORK? z Our advise is for
them to heartily support Judge Green.

HOW THE PARTIES STAND ON RECIPROCITY
REPUBLICAN

We suppose the proposed
Canadian reciprocity treaty
as being detrimental to the
farming interests Of the coun-
try; and we pledge the nom
inee of this Convention to
oppose the adoption of said
reciprocity measure and urge
our United States Senators
to use their influence and all
honorable means to prevent
the passage of said measure.
We denounce the proposed
free list of the democratic
house of representatives as a
measure injurious to the in
terest of American industry
and dangerous alike to farm
and shop.
No other resolutions were
adopted by the republicans
except that the principles
contained in the last nation.

Harmed officiating. On account of the
bad condition of the roads following a
steady down pour of rain which lasted
all Saturday night not many were in
from the country but all the members
were there from town and the seats
were pretty well taken up. The dis
course ably portrayed the call to arms,
the duty to their country, the service
in the field, the discharge, home again
by many while thousands never retur-
ned. The hand of omnipotence ever
watchful over the welfare of the coun-
try. The respect the nation now has
for those who wore the Blue and the
Gray. The death rate now about two
thousand each month. A fow years
and all will be over OH earth. Are you
prepared for the migration of the soul?
The choir was in fine form and
showed thorough preparation of the Sc
lections which were given. AT the close
of the services the Corps were lined up
and everyone shook the hands of the
Old Comrades as they passed out, real
izing that not many more times can
this be done with all present.

was an able exposition of what has

good education to properly prepare
