THE
BOY SCOUTS
A Message from the Chiet Scout.
of America

To the Boy Scouts of AGecica
There was once a boy who lived
in a region of rough farms, He was
wild with the love of the G:cen out
the wood herbs, and the i've things
that left their nightly tracks IN the
mud by his spring well He wished
so much to know them and learn
about them, he would hdvc gwen
almost any price in his eift to know
the name of this or thai wonderful
bird or brilliant flower; he used to
tremble with excitement aud inten-
sity of interest when some new bird
was seen. or when some strange song
came from the trees to thrill him
with its power or veX him with its
mystery, and he had sad sense of
lost opportunity when it flew away
leaving him as dark as ever. But
he was alone and helpless, he had
neither book nor friend to guide him,
and he grew up with a kind of know
ledge hunger in his heart that gnawed
without ceasing. But this also it did
1t inspired him with the hope that
some day he might be the means of
saving others from this sort of tor
ment-he would aim to furnish to
them what had been denied to himself.
There were other things in the
green and living world that had a
binding charm for him. He wanted
to learn to camp out, to live again
the life of his hunter grandfather,
who knew all the tricks of winning
comfort from the relentless wilder
ness-the foster mother so rude to
those who fear her, so kind to the
stout of heart.
And he had yet another hankering
he loved the touch of romance
When he first found Fenimore Coop
er's works he drank them in as one
parched might drink at a spring. He
reveled in the tales of courage and
heroic deeds, he gloated over records
of their trailing and scouting by red
man and white; he gloried in their
woodcraft, and lived it all in imag-
ination. secretly blaming the writer
a little for praising without describ-
ing it so it could be followed. Some
day" he said. 81 shall put it down
for other boys to learn"
As years went by he found that
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1915-04-18

there were books about most OF the
the birds, the quadrupeds, the fish
the insects, the plants, telling their
ious ways, about the campers life,
the language of signs, and even some
of the secrets of the trail. But they
were very expensive, and a whole
library would be needed to cover the
cry boy wants-is handbook giving
the broad facts as one sees them
life. He did not want to know the
trees as a botanist, but as forester;
as a traveller. His interest in the
animals was less that of an anato-
and his craving for light on the in.
sects was one to be met by popu'

learned treatise on entomology.
So, knowing the want, he made
many attempts to gather the simple
facts together exactly to meet the
need of other boys of like ideas, and
finding it a mighty task he gladly
enlisted the help of men who had
lived and felt as he did.
Young Scouts of America, that boy
is writing to you now. He thought
himself peculiar in those days. He
knows now he was simply a normal
boy with the interests and desires
of all normal boys, some of them a
little deeper rooted and more lasting,
perhaps-and all the things that he
loved and wished to learn have now
part in the big broad work We call
Scouting.
Scout" used TO mean the one on
watch for the rest. We have widen
ed the word little. We have made
il fit the town as well as the wilder
ness and suited it for peace time in
stead of war We have made the
Scout an expert in life-craft as well
as woodcraft, for he is trained in the
things of the heart as well as head
and hand. Scouting we have made to
cover riding. swimming, tramping'
trailing. photography, first aid, camp
ing, handicraft. loyalty, Obedience,
courtesy, thrift, courage and kind
ness.

you love the woods? Do you wish

There is more Catarrh In this Sec
tiOn Of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven Catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by f. J.
Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the
only Constitutional cure on the mar
ket. 1t is taken internally. 1t acts

10, THE POOR lNG,AN.

For years and for years to come the
Indian and the lumbermen will have
their differences regarding the stand
timber on the Indian reservations.
To regain possession. title and pay
for lumber which, it is alleged by the
federal government, was removed
from certain lands owned by indians
in the northern part OF the state by
the SCearns Lumber company was the
object of a suit which vas argued in
the United States court last week.
1t Is cirimed by the company that
it purchased the right to cut timber
on the land from a company which
secured its paten5 from the state.
The United States government claims
that the land belongs to the Indians.
The facts in the case have been stip-
ulated and only arguments will be
made.

torney A. G. Hoppmann will be assist
ed by G. G. Daniels of the justice de-
partment at Washington who has

he did not wish to take part in the
case. Olin & Butler and Chicago

ATTITUDES IN WISCONSIN.

The exact attitudes or elevations Of
certain principal points in any area
are always matters of interest and
greav practical utility. Although the
Government surveys have determined
The altitude Of many Thousand noun
tains and other prominent points, the
information regarding them is not al
ways available. The United States
Geological Survey during the course
of its topographic work, which has
now covered nearly two-tifths of the
area of the United States, has deter
mined large number of exact eleva-
lions and this information is now be-
ing published in series of bulletins,
each covering either a single State or
a group of neighboring States. This
series of bulletins, though by no
means constituting a complete die
tionary of attitudes of the United
States, give the exact elevation of
many thousand points, including
large number of towns, hills, lakes
and mountains of prominence. One
of these bulletins just published by
the Survey-Bulletin 570-reates 20
spirit leveling in Wisconsin from
1897 to 1914, inclusive.
The highest point in the State thus
far determined is Rib Hill, in Mara
than County, 1,940 feet above mean
sea level.
The bulletin contains descriptions
of more than ! 100 points in the State,
in addition to a list of Secondary"
elevations of well-known SUBMITS
and other useful attitudes. These
secondary elevations are approxim-
ate only and should not be used for
accurate work.

BASKETBALL GAME.

The local high school basketball
team met the Eau Claire team last
Friday evening on the Y floor. The
game was as fast and as clean one
as has been seen on the home floor for
some time. This is the first time
that Wausau high has ever played
Eau Claire. During the first half the
visitors appeared to have the best of
us. They pushed in a basket and a
free throw at the very beginning.
Their total number of baskets was
seven besides two free throws, while
Wausau made five baskets besides
two free throws. This half ended
with the score 16 to u, Eau Claire
leading. There was good sized au-
dience and everyone was feeling de-
pressed at the end of that half, all
fearing lest the local five could not
overcome the lead of the visitors.
The second half proved more advan-
tageous to the locals who played their
opponents off their feet. They scored
fifteen field baskets and Herman
Riebe made one free throw. The
final score was 80 to IS. During the
preceding half the Eau Claire players
had been exceedingly lucky in scoring
baskets on long field throws. Iii the
second half the local boys guarded
their men better and very few were
able to get long throws. Both of the
Wausau forwards, Herman Riebe ano
Clyde Smith, played an excellent
game as did Charles Pond at center.
OF the guards, VIM. Doonan does ex-
cellent guarding. The Wausau line
up was as follows: Herman Riebe, /.
f.; Clyde Smith, r. f.; Charles Pond, c.:
-Elvin Hartlett, r. e., and VIM. Doom
an !. G. Pond made four baskets,
Riebe five, Smith four, and Doonan
and Hartlett each one.
An exceptionally fast and interest
ing preliminary game was played be-
tween the Y senior team and the
high school seconds. Both teams had
in the audience and there
was great deal of cheering. The
score of this game was 25 to % in
favor of the Y seniors.
