lent shape for prompt consideration
and a large amount of business was
transacted.
The board of directors is composed

and four we're elected as follows:
Charles W. Nugen. Kimball, Arthur
Linn and G. A. Berry of Canton, and
w. G. Buchanan, of Letcher, and

and policy holders increasing.
y. A. Rudolph retired as President
OF the company after having organic
ed and directed the affairs of the COM
pany for twelve years. Under his
management as President the COM
pany began business twelve years ago,
and from nothing it has grown to be
the strongest Mutual Company in the
state, financially and in business.
Mr.. Rudolph wanted to retire a year
ago, but the directors induced him to
continue for another year, and now he
surrenders his duties as President to
w. C. Buchanan of Letcher, a splen-
did business man. well qualified to fill
the position. Mr.. Rudolph is n of
the most successful and careful bust
ness men in the state, but his long
years OF close Office work required a
rest from hard work. He retires with
the highest esteem of every man con-
nected with the company.
Roy Nugen, as treasurer and assist
ant secretary, will look after the office
business, and he is we'll qualified for
the work.

Methodist Church Notes.

Considering the actions of the
thermometer last Sunday excellent
audiences were present at both morn
ing and evening services.
Special Meeting Of Official Board is
called for 100 p. M. Tuesday Jan. Is,
to meet at the parsonage.
With two months notice it will be
very unbecoming for people called
Methodist to be occupied with socia]
affairs soas to miss any of the Revival
Meeting services.
Special prayer meetings are planned
! and will be announced for every after
noon of next week. Those interested
may have a slip showing the list by
asking the pastor about them on Sun
day.
Rev. and Mrs. Fanebust are now In
the midst of a good meeting at
Howard S.. D. with the Methodist
church of that place. TT ey will close
there on the evening OF the 2lst, and
come on and be here for Wedn esday
evening the oath of January.
All Epworth Leaguers and friends
take notice OF what Is to occur on
each of the next two Friday evenings.
The pastor is especially interested
in having all members of the church
be present at all services OF the church
during the next two weeks.
Subjects for next Sunday sermons

KNOWLTON GAS ENGINE co.
The Annual Meeting was Held Tues
day Evening and Permanent
Organization Effected.

There were thirty-tive stockholders
present Tuesday night when the
meeting for permanent organization
wa called to order by President jeff.
Knowlton.
After disposing of a large amount of
preliminary work and d~isposing OF re-
ports and other matters, including
| the adoption of bylaws, the following
board of directors were elected: j. F..
Knowlton, John Johnson, Albert J.
Minor, John Overseth, and Il. L.
Smith, who in turn elected the per-
manent officers of the company:
Jefferson f. Knowlton, President,
Albert J. Minor, Vice-President,
John w. Bremen, Treasurer,
II. II. Smith, Secretary.
In President Knowlton's report OF
business transacted he reported one
item of interest to wit: He sold 500
engines during the year, and these
engines we're made for him at Water
loo, Iowa, under contract. He could
have sold 1000 more If he had had
them, but this much helped him to
keep in touch with his customers and
pay a nice dividend besides. When
the foundry and machine shops are
running under full force of workmen
as at present provided for, 40 COM
pleted engines can be turned out in a
working day Of 10 hours, still such a
steady supply can hardly be demand
ed during the first year, although the
plant is in shape to meet n limit,
because there is no better gas engine
plant In the country. There are larger
plants but none better equipped. Mr..
Knowlton is figuring on a demand for
something like from 3 or 5000 engines
during 1912.
The company is in the hands of
competent business men, and the
mechanical department will receive
the careful and constant supervision
of Mr.. Knowlton, and all working
under a perfect system, we have rea-
son to expect splendid results during
the present year.

Welsh Singers Conf ng.

VVAoA oAA6SAo winning
The verdict of Canton people who
have heard this wonderful organfza-
tion hold one Of their concerts is that
their vocabulary is insufficient to
land their praises high enough. Later
some local testimonials as to their
ability to please an audience will ap-
pear In our paper. Undoubtedly the
Welsh singers are the highest grade
and best entertainers that have ever
visited Canton. Should the citizens
of Canton patronize them as they
ought, a new era in the history OF
C%anton's entertainments will have
been begun. People who call for high
class attractions by patronizing them
and none other, will be catered for
by the better productions. Tickets
will be on sale at Corner Drug Store
at end of month. A regular $3.50 en-
tertainment for 81. Special rates for
visitors at Rudolph hotel.

THE BOY SCOUTS.
Official Meeting of the Scouts Coun
Gil and Report of Scout Master
Followed by Scout Drill.

President ThorSOn of the Local
Scout council with Nice-President
Tuve, and members, Judge Forrest,
Win Tank, Ed. Wendt, Mrs. A. G.
Tuve and Mrs. John Moe, held the
annual meeting of the local council in
the Unity CLUB Rooms last Friday
afternoon.
Boy scouts 10 the number of II
were present for inspection, drill and
promotion, and the council and visit
ors we're delighted as well as surprised
at the proficiency displayed by the
youthful scouts.
The Scout Master gave a very in
teresting report in detail, telling Of
the splendid work OF the Boys, and
how we'll and faithfully they had per-
formed their duty, obeying orders to
letter and maintaining perfect disci-
pline, and said:
That there were 33 active scouts
organized into -four patrols.
That the boys had been out on
Sc venteen hikes.
That they had travelled about $50
miles on these hikes.
That the boys had spent their time
OIL these hikes studying trees plants
and animals, camping and cooking
their meals, and practicing for the
ten points required for second class
scout.
That the boys had been drilled on
the requirements OF the Scout Law;
namely, that a scout must be Trust
worthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly,
Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful,
Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.
The boys then exhibited some Of
their work. reciting the scout law,
saluting, giving the sixteen points of
the compass, and signaling by the
semaphore alphabet. They gave a
realistic performance taking turns
treating each other for, fainUing,
shock, sprained ankle, burn, and
broken limb.
They illustrated the several methods
of carrying injured persons, how to
apply the triangular and roller band
ages and t%urniquet, and finished up by
carrying off one OF their number on a
stretcher hastily constructed from
their scout coats and stats, after the
broken leg of their fellow scout had
been properly bandaged in splints.
The last example OF first aid work
was ample evidence of the practical
value of Scout training. 1t convinced
the visitors that the Boy Scout move
ment represents modern methods of
education that will soon become a
national movement in connection
with high school education.
Read what the Scout Law says in
the report Of the Scout Master, and
note carefully that a scout is taught
to be
Trustworthy,
