fray the expenses Of tho organize
ton for the coming year. The least
tho boys ask. II folks do not feel that
they can afford to be tagged. is that
they refuse with a smile.
Officials and business men, of the
city who have taken an active inter-
est in the scout movement. which they
regard as one of the greatest move
ments toward raising better citizens
for the future generations. say that

ton than to be met with . growl by

tags. one for the coat lapel. one for the
automobile. and one for the front door.
Boy Scouts pay only . cents a year as
dues. depending almost solely upon the

was not caused by an explosion but by
the mysterious ignition Of three bales OF

The Petit Journal learns that the real
cause Of Swoboda's arrest was suspicion
on the part OF the British government
to which Swoboda had made a certain
proposition some time before the SHY
fire.
