With Broken Arm
*e* 900 -"
Boy Still on Job

How's this for pluck and determi-
nation?
Clyde Praytor, 12-year-old boy,
employed by The News, was thrown
from the bicycle which he was riding
while serving his patrons, received a
broken arm, remounted his wheel and
finished his delivery, and then went
to the hospital and had the bones set.
This happened Saturday and the
boy is still on the job, hasn't missed a
delivery, aid hasn't failed to place a
paper into the homes on his route.
The break was serious one, too.
While riding down Bouie street at a
rapid clip, the youngster came to
sudden rise in the street, which threw
him from his wheel. He didn't know
his arm was broken, but knew that
something was the matter. He had
lost use of it before he reached the
hospital, where an examination was
made. and the injured member placed
in splints.
No one expected to see Clyde at The
News Office Monday, but he was one
of the first boys to arrive. He grabbed
an armful of Fight Extras, rushed out
on the street and sold them, returned
and was given the newspapers for his
route, and completed the delivery. He
returned yesterday afternoon, and
again this afternoon was the first boy
at the office, awaiting the starting of
the presses with the Home Edition.

DETAILED PLANS FOR SATuR.
DAYS EXCURSION MADE PUB
Lie TODAY.

Detailed arrangements for the expe.
dition Of the Hattiesburg Boy Scouts
to Black Creek next Saturday, az the
guests of w. J. Haynen, Of the J. j.

pleted today.
Scout Commissioner Hightower an
nounced that the boys will meet at the
office of the j. J. Newman Lumber
Company at s o'clock Saturday morn
ing, where a special train will be wait
ing for them. The return trip will be
made at o'clock in the afternoon.
Each Scout Master has been notified
what equipment the boys will be ex-
pected to carry with them. Only those
boys who have made application to
join the Boy Scout movement, or have
evidenced a desire to do SO. will be
permitted to go on the excursion, and
then only when permission has been
gained from their parents.
Owing to the fact that but one pas
senger coach can be secured, and that
the number of applicants for permits
to go on the trip Is 80 large, 1t was
stated today that 1t would be impos-
sible for the fathers of any Of the
Scouts to make the journey. The In
vitation before extended consequently
was withdrawn. but will be renewed at
a later date.
An expert fisherman has agreed to
go along for the purpose of teaching
the boys who do not know, the art of
fishing. The boys will aslo be given
instruction In first aid to the injured
and on other subjects of interest.
The boys are requested to dig their
bait Friday evening If they expect to
fish any while on the trip.
