that for the first time in the history
of Boy Scouts these lads had fought

They were in the front Of an attack on

Hodges vigorously refuted the charge
that Kansas was overburdened with

of prohibition laws. He cited sts tistics
to show that the State is far more pros
porous than many Of It's neighbors who
have no laws against the saloon.

Wherever Mr.. Thomas goes the two
