With the mercury lowering near the

group Of Boy Scouts under the leader

Guild Hall for secluded SPOT in Well
;Mler's woods where substantial camp
had been constructed of tree branches
A blazing camp fire was Immediately
started and instantly there was Il com
motion and bnstle, all Scouts being
intent on gathering brambics for the
blaze. Around the roaring fire the
evening lesson was given. First aid
teaching was reviewed. imaginary
broken legs and arms were tied in
splinters by The boys and the work in
spected by the scout master Then
came instruction in locating the>points
of the compass 10y means of the North
Star.
A candidate took the scents oath
impresSiveIy, while his comrades gave
respectful attention.
Various, beers of the camp were
called on to report the useful deeds ac-
complished that day, in fulfllment of
their Scout duty.
Much of the instruction given was
informal and incidental while the
boys were enjoying the sport and
feasting on roasted wieners and other
delicaeies. Many points in manly be-
havior were brought out aud EN-
phasized.
+. The department of the boys was ex-
cellent. While given full sway to
have good time, they realized they
were each responsible for the repuia-
ton of the camp. They knew what it
meant to be good Scout and they
tried their best to be one.
A study of the Boy Scout movement
at close range demonstrates the fact
that it appeals strongly to the average
boy aud that it has most wholesome
influence on the boys conduct.
The Boy Scout system of training is
based on natural laws of development.

Just now there is altogether too
much solicitude on the part of parents
as TO what they will do with their
boys, which leaves the impression
on the minds OF the young gentle
men of the period that something
has got to be done for them, inste""
of encouraging the more manly
thought that they must do for them
selves. There is no reason to sup
pose that the channels to competence
and wealth are fewer and more dim
cult than they were years ago.

some new Baptist church building
in this city will be laid by Butte
Lodge No. 254 A. f. 4 A. NJ. Of
Tuesday, September 26, 1916
with the ceremonies and ritual
of that order.
Following is a history of thu
Baptist church of this city as fur
nished The Times by members:
The First Baptist Church OF
Butler, Mo, was organized some
time between 1865 and 1867, the
exact date cannot be given as the
early records have been burned
many years ago when DR.. Ever

The pastor Of the church at the
earliest time we have any knowl.
edge of, was John Smith, an
Englishman living at Mound City,
Kansas. The meeting place was in
a school house on South Delaware
street.
On the seventeenth day of June,
1868 the church was incorporated,
the following named persons APP
pcaring before the court with a
petition for that purpose: T. j.
Howell, S. A. Riggs, Jesse Frey.
George BARLEY, Mrs. X. BARLEY,
Geo. Chandler. M. E. White, L..
NJ. Burkleo, VIM. H. White, Mrs.
E. White and Hannah Chandler.
This article of incorporation was
signed by John D. Mayors, Clerk
of the Circuit Court of Bates
County. Missouri.
The church held services in diff
ferent places, halls over store
buildings, ETC., until 1870 or 1871
when the building on Ohio street,
which has just been torn down,
was built. The membership of the
church had been increased, a large
number having received during
series Of meetings held by a min
lister by the name of Hildreth-
then many came in by letter-as
many were. moving in from other
states. Some of the pastors that
served the church during this
period were Elders John Swift, T.
r. M. Beeson, and A. H. Deane,
all of whom have gone to their
the last two but recently.
Some time during the year Of
1877 the church was disbanded
and little later a new organiza-
ton was formed from the member
ship of the old First Church. The
new organization was called the
Ohio Street Baptist Church of
Butler, Mo. Rev. Elihu Gum,
pastor at Fort Scott, Kansas, was
present to assist in the organic
ing of the new church. Only a
few of the constituent members
ire left: DR.. Everingham and
wife T. j. Smith, o. p. Frey and
A. H. Frey and others.

were quickened to renewed zeal
and Kingdom interests took or

: In 1881 S. NJ. Brown was called
to the passionate of the church
which relationship was sustained
for nearly four years. During
this time the church was in a pros
porous condition. Large congre-

tinued additions to the church,
splendid prayer meetings. A

ever since.
Some time after S. NJ. Brown

force of the Central Baptist, the
church secured as pastor J. W.

cred the best pastor the church
over had. New. arrivals in town
were hunted up and invited to the
services. Good interest and good

Of the church.

as pastor for time. He was a

The dollar was originally Jochims. haler-gulden- -grOschen. But that name was too long for general use, and i' was cut down to thaler, which was transliterated into the present form. It could nof be either gulden or a groschen. because the gulden had al- ways been minted of gold It was not a groschen. because that coin was of small value. 80 the two were combined The essential part of the name was Jochimsthal. or Joachimsthal. as it is now spelled. the Joachim valley. in Austria. from which the silver was de rived for the minting of this large coin.

PLAN TELEPHONE
 LINE TO SEWARD

According to R. J. Weir, last sum-
 mer in charge of survey party Tn
 the Interior and now engineer in
 charge of the work of the Alaska
 engineering commission at Anchor
 age, the complete equipment for the
 first unit of a standard long distance
 telegraph line from Seward to Fair
 banks is now in Seward, and the
 poles win be erected this summer,
 or before, if possible.
 | Engineer Weir, according to the information received 1n the last mail, states that his telephone line will iconnect the coast terminal of the i, railroad with Fairbanks, and will be
 erected just as speedily as is pos sible to erect it.
 In commenting on the speed with which the work will be started on
 the other end of the line, Engineer ! Weir. says; We will have the steam
 shopels nose in the ground before
 anyone expects anything to be doing. We have the new steam shovel prac- tically ready for use. and q Brown ing locomotive crane, which is be- ling erected in the machine shop at Seward, will be finished just as soon as a missing part, lost by the car Tier, has been traced.
 "Asasoon as the $2,000,000 emerg- ency appropriation becomes available
 for use, the engineers will be ready to go to work The work will be
 rushed with all possible dispatch.
 and it is not expected that there will be any trouble that might arise from the so called labor trouble that will retard the work on the railroad. The road will be rushed through to Fair
 banks as soon as possible. The tele- phone line from Seward to Anchor age to the Interior terminal will pro- bably be completed some months be- fore the railroad is. A telephone is essential to the rapid progress of the construction work, and instructions from the members of the cOmmis- sion under which I am working, lead me to the belief that the construc- ton of the telephone line will be rushed through, possibly next sum- mer.".
