BOY SCOUTS DOUBLE
 DURING YEAR lSI2

NEW YORK. Jan. 2S.-The organi- zation of the Boy Scouts Of America
 in many departments virtually doub- led in 1912. While, as is perfectly
 natural in an organization Of this
 kind. a certain number of boys and certain number of scout masters dropped scouting, the boys who join ed, the scout masters who took up the work, and the business and pro fessional men who furnished financial support and cooperation were great CT than in any previous year The number Of scout commissioners and
 local councils is twice as great to- day as a year ago.
 Figures which James E. West, chief scout executive of the Boy Scouts of America, is compiling in preparation for the annual meeting in February. show the remarkably rapid growth Of the organization. and indicate that scouting Activities. comprising many forms of fun in the outdoors, and the daily good turn. have taken a grip on the boys.
 In 1912 275 commissions were issued to scout masters and their assistants. That figure shows up favorably in comparison with 4.2gz issued in 1911. when it is realized that there were 200 applications pending at the end Of the year. Fur thermore, it is much harder now To cb.ain a commission than it was in 1911 because Of the many re- imposed.
 In the three years of the scout about $500 persons nave been commissioned as scout masters pr assistants. In a thorough canvass .o find out what men were active! ess than 2.OOO of these have been ---Aes-Nn AANAA fht dCttfE IOiiSs itctt-l ng about 5000 active leaders of the boys. 4 scout master has charge ,f from % to 100 boys.
 The Increase in the movement over 91i is also shown by the fact that ast year 227 men were registered t national headquarters as commits
 i ioners, in comparison with 1f5 in he previous year. The commission IT is the active man in charge Of the cout work in any town or locality. Furthermore. in 1912. 1s7 local coun- ills were organized. The local coun-t il is important because it is usually composed of from 50 to 100 business nd professional men in town or ity to supervise the scout work. and hose local councils represent active u2port Of 15.00o more men in 1912 han In 1911.

To the Public:

recent arrest that the matter was
entirely spitework. as Mr.. Truss ad-
mitted on the stand under oath.
When cross-examined by my attorney
he admitted that he started the stor-
ies of my insanity and was also re-
sponsible for spreading the reports.
1t was simply an attempt on his part
to hold me up and | refused to be
held up. He has returned to San
Francisco, and l am still here and
doing business at the old stand
which ought to be sufficient answer
to his charges.

spect, in that Mrs. Il. ID. Briggs, as
worthy matron, in her accustomed
and dignified manner made the way
straight for her young and charming
daughter, Miss Nellie, as well as for
another society blossom, Miss Hope
Burdic. The customary refresh
ments were served as an aftermath.
Later on, with Mrs. Stock presiding
at the piano. a medley of old-time
songs rang out with the voice of a
prominent attorney in the lead. He
was encored on his rendition of the
college glee Up-i-dee. Mrs. c. B.

Prohibition Sentiment in Prohibition
Town.

That the sentiment for prohibition in
Colfax, after more than twenty years
trial, is still strong and decided, was
shown by the mass meeting held in the
court house last Wednesday night.
The occasion was brought about by
reception given in honor of Mrs.
Mary Harris Arnor, the distinguished
lady orator of the w. C. T.'U., who
was expected to be here. At the last
minute, however, it was decided for her
to stop over in Boyce, to take part in
the prohibition campaign lately precipi-
tated in Rapides parish. Rev. A. W..
Turner came in her stead, and this elo,,
quent divine delivered fine address
to the large crowd that assembled. A
bountiful supply of fruit punch was
served free to all who attended. The
following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, we the people of Colfax,
owing to our proximity to Alexandria,
suffer continuously from the steady flow
of liquor into our territory, debauching
our young manhood, demoralizing our
labor, and doing untold injury to society,
and for that reason we feel deep in
terest IN the prohibition movement now
going on in our sister parish of Rapides,
and sincerely hope that it may prevail;
therefore be it
Resolved, That we hail with joy the
passage by Congress of the Webb bin.
True, this refers to interstate traffic,
but we feel that'it will be lever that
will compel our own legislature, as well
as the Legislature of other States. to
pass laws prohibiting wet localities from
sending their liquor into dry territory;
and, to this, we plege, in mass meeting
assembled, our undivided support in Sc
curing such bill from our own legis-
lature. Respectfully submitted,
j. @. LONG,
Chairman of Citizens Committee.

Rather am Exaggerated Report.

In late meeting held in Alexandria,
Hon. G. w. Bolton is reported as say
ing: Prohibition noes not prohibit un-
less it is in community where there is
a strong overwhelming sentiment in its
favor" The speaker then said, "that
he was told that in Colfax, a prohibi-
ton town, there are four joints run
ming"
This will certainly be news to most
of our citizens at home. If any Joint
is regularly engaged in the sale of liquor,
it is most certainly done in an under
handed and sneaking way, and it takes
a powerful lot of lying on somebody's s
part every time our grand jury meets
to keep the folks engaged in it from
landing in Jail. We admit that some
of our old soakers, who ought to know
better and do better simply as an ex-
ample to the younger generation, and
number of younger rowdies who think
it smart to go contrary to public senti-
ment, get goodly supply of jugs and
bottles from Alexandria and other wet
spots. That, however, is not a viola
tion of the law, and we feel sure Mr..
Bolton has been given an exaggerated
report as to conditions in this town.

Turpentine Plant to Increase Its Out
nut

The Pine Products Company, of Sill
dell, La, will more than double its ca
pacity and output in the next three
months. The company which began
the manufacture of turpentine in Slidell
a few months ago has found its present
facilities unequal to the demands of its
business.
The company has at present ten re-
tort vats and these are found to be en-
tirely inadequate for the amount OF tur-
pentine that is in demand and could be
made. 1t was decided therefore to in
crease the vats to fourteen more, max
ing twenty-four in all. which it is
thought will meet the increased vulume
of business.
The vats have already been ordered
from the north, and it is expected that
within the next few months they will,
together with the necessary buildings
be in place arnd ready for business. =

dent H. B. Helm of the Louisiana Rail-

new equipment. The order to be plac-
ed soon is for three locomotives for
