RECENT RISE Of
THE BOY SCOUTS
Reasons Assigned for Great Growth of
the Organization During
the Past Eight
Months.
BOYS LIKE THE WORK
is Instructive as Well as Interesting
and Many Things Have Been
Done to Make Them
Like 1t.
BOYS LIKE THE WORK

N. H. Pyle, who was recently ap-
pointer a scoutmaster for the Boy
Scouts Of America in Keokuk and is
theI first Keokuk citizen to act in this
capacity, has received some interesting
literature pertaining to the organiza-
ton and movement which will be
given publcatics, from time to time.
The following paragraphs deal with
the rise and growth of the organiza-
ton within the last few months.
The Boy Scouts Of America have
tripled in the last eight months.
There are now $500 Scout Masters
registered with the national organiza-
ton. On January 1 there were only L.
400. These facts alone show that there
are three times as many troops of
scouts under the direction of the
leaders of the Boy Scouts of America
as there were in the beginning of the
year. While it is hard to figure on the
number of boys yet it is quite prob
able that the Boy Scouts alone num-
Der three times as many as at the be-
ginning of the year.
This remarkable growth is due to
many reasons. First boys in every
village, town and city throughout the
country, have read of the principles OF
the scout movement and have appre-
ciated how much more fun they can
have under a good trainer or Scout
Master who takes them into the
woods and teaches them various use.
full things for play and work. Second

principles of the scout movement

important Express Injunction Case
VIII be Taken up on August 10
and Promises to Attract
Attention.
JUDGE TO SIT ALONE
Decides That constitutlonaIlty Of Law
Is Now In Question and That
He Need Not Call Others
to Bench.

Aug. 10 has been set by Judge Nc
Fhersol. Of the federal eoari as the
day on Which he will take up the trial
of tie injunction cases brought
asains. the state by the express com
panies TO prevent the enfo { ement OF
lower s.es for shipments l., the state.
The date was set Saturday after
noon, following conference between
Judge Mcpherson and the attorneys
for the state and express companies
in Des Moines.
In an opinion handed down Satur-
day, Judge Mcpherson announced he
will hear the cases himself and that
it will not be necessary to call in two
other United States judges to- assist
him.
A recent act of congress provides
that one judge may not grant an :
junction against state official where
the constitutionality of the law in
question is assailed That phase of
the question occasioned considerable
argument at the last term of the fed
eral court in Des Moines.
In his opinion Saturday, Judge Nc
Pherson held that in the present in
stances the suit brought by the ex-
press companies has to do with fact
that the constitutionality of the rates
is not assailed and therefore that he
can hear them without calling in other
judges to help him in the trial
1t is likely the trial of the express
cases will necessitate a postponement
of the injunction cases brought
against the city by the Des Moines
Gas Company as N. T. Guernsey, who
represents the gas company, appears
in the cases against the state for the
express companies.

have become enthusiastic workers and
have made efforts to organize troops
because they are fond of the woods
and fond of the activities outlined in
the scout manual Thirdly, the gener-
al interest in the scout organization
has spread over the country gradual
ly and persistently in the last year
and half, and there are more Boy
Scouts in America today than there
are in any country in the world
Since the meeting of the National
Council at the white house early in
February, greater interest has been
aroused in the movement because
new badges have been turned out for
the boys, new manual has been is
sued and many things have been done
to appeal directly to the American
boys.
Business and professional men also
have taken increased interest in the
work and have formed local councils
In various cities and towns to super
wise the scout activities in their local
tiles The scout organization has be-
come so strong in several cities that
secretaries have been employed to
handle the great amount of detail
The leaders of the Boy Scouts re-
gard this growth not as temporal but
as due to the inherent strength and
appeal of the scout principles. They
feel sure that the organization which
has been approved by the members of
different religions and different or
CARNATIONS dealing with boys work
is thoroughly permanent institution
in the life of the country.
