II. A scout is clean.
IL. A scout is reverent.

kind q. scout is required to make is as
follows:
On My Honor / Will Do My Best.
l. 10 90 my QuCy TO GOd and my
country. and to obey the scout law.
2. To help other people at all
tintes.
8. To keep myself physically
strong. mentally awake. and morally
straight.
The Scout motto is 'Be Prepared"
The Scout Slogan is DO q Coed
Turn Daily"

i2ation. except those who have for
merly been members of a troop.

Monday at 400 p. M with Geo. r.
Wright, at the RicheIfeu.

AkERS'S HARD JOB
Forced to Extend Half Hour Speech
to an Hour and a Half.

Extending half hour speech to an
hour and a half was the task which
confronted Earl Akers, state treasurer
at Wamego, Wednesday evening
Akers described it as one of the hard
est jobs he ever contracted in his life
and hasn't yet recovered from the
nervous strain but hopes that the Wa
mego people are in better condition
today than they we're when he had
concluded.
While AkerS has dropped out of pol
itics he is still a fighting Republican
and whenever the necessity arises is
willing to go out and fight for the
Republican ticket. He was asked to
go to Wamego to speak with Clyde
Miller, candidate for congress in that
district
Akers drove to Wamego in his auto
mobile and upon his arrival was told
that he was expected to hold the au-
dience until Miller arrived from ST
George, where he spoke early in the
evening. Akers did we'll for the first
half hour. He has a speech of that
length memorized. Then the trouble
began. He could talk good roads,
business and the Methodist gospel but
the audience wanted politics and he
did his best. Just an hour after his
memorized speech was finished Miller
appeared on the stage
There was a big crowd to hear
Miller finish his three days speaking
tour of Pottawatomie county and the
audience was enthusiastic. Republi-
cans say that Miller's campaign is
meeting with success turnout the dis
trict.
