FIVE THOUSAND ACRES
OF LAND ARE SOL11

1t is often said one has to go
away from home to hear the
news. This seems to be the
case in the following article
from the Bismarck Tribune !:
What is known as the Beattle
estate in Mclean county has
been sold. There are thirty quar-
ters in the tract or approximate
ly 5000 acres, which brought a
price of $4,000.
The Tribune representative
learned that the tract was pur-
chased by Karl Klein and Aug
ust johnson, who are engaged in
the banking and real estate
business. These men are known
as excellent judges of land in
this section. It is all choice,
farming land only a few miles,
north of Washburn.
"We believe we have secured
an excellent tract" !" said Mr..
KLEIN. We have been dealing
in lands in this section for;
many years and think we know,
a bargain when we see it.
Special efforts will be made,
to get new settlers on this land.
1t. will afford homes for fifteen
or twenty additional farmers.
Klein & johnson have won quite
a reputation COR handling big
deals. They negotiated the w.
Stevenson reservation Of $4,000
acres.

& Rev. Pengelly

The rapid yet increasingly sub
stantial development of THE Boy
Scout movement throughout the
United States was strikingly in
dicated by the reports submitted
at the quarterly meeting Of the
National Councils Exclusive
board recently held i'm New
York. e
The report of the Chief Scout,
Exclusive, James E. West. stat
ed:
"F1om JUNE l to October l
29,375 boys were registered as
compared with 1880 for the
same period Of the preceding
yean 1921 men were commissio
ed as scoutmasters, as compar-
ed with 100, and 1902 as assist
ant scOutmastSrs as compared
with 634.
"Various badges, numbering
39,921, were issued, as compared
with 26,198; this, together with a
substantial increase in cash re-
ceipts in all departments, tells
the story of the development Of
scouting during the past four
months.
"There are today in good
standing, according to our record
143,O84 scouts, as compared with
$40 scoutmasters, 1922 assistant
scoutmasters, and 3S9 local couni
cils."
Mot only is there unmistake1
able evidence Of increased in4
terest,' - continues the Chief
Executive, "but there is alsd
gratifying evidence tEat scout
ing isbetter understood, and that.
the problems Of administration
and routine operations are de-
creasing.'
The national organization has
been able to supply, more lib
orally than ever before, the ex-
pert assistance in organization
and development Of scout work
that is so earnestly demanded in
all parts of the country. Five
men definitely connected with
the nation organization are ut
work in different parts of the
United States, aiding in the or
ganization Of local councils and
the conduct of campaigns for
the, raising Of the small amount
of money that is needed to
carry OH the Boy Scout work ef-
for a serious of years.
The engaging of executives
means expert direction for scout
work. The rapid increase of
executives in all parts Of the
country is proving that promil-
ent men in various communities,
understanding what trained
leadership means to the develop
ment of scout work locally, are
seeing to 1T that it is provided.
