BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT

A boy Scout troop numbering over
fifty was organized Saturday at the
high school gymnasium. The Boy
Scout organization is the largest and
most successful of organizations f5l
boys in America and has the endorse
ment of great men like Roosevelt
Taft, Wilson and others
The purpose of this movement is
to promote the moral and physical
welfare of the boy and it accom-
plishes this in way that instantly
appeals to the average boy
1t aims to teach the boy self con-
troll, loyalty, patriotism, kindness
to animals, purity and honor; il
trains the mind, the muscle and the
heart.
The Boy Scout is taught lessons
in first aid, what to do in case OF
| fire or accident, thus becoming a
valuable asset to any community
He learns the art of camper craft,
the joy Of the hike, and scouting.
He is taught discipline. He gets a
new idea of the great out of doors.
He learns to love nature and ac-
quires a new sense of his duty as a
coming citizen.
To sum up the Boy Scout, he gets
a training that goes far toward the
making of honorable manhood. He
lis taught to love and respect old
age, his country and his God.
The Boy Scout movement is nom
sectarian so that any boy of the
required age may feel free to join
as the organization will not interfere
with his religious convictions Or af-
filiations
The movement is nOn-military,
although enough of the military
drills, exercise to fit the boy for the
hike, camp life, parades, etc., are
taught. The local troop has the en-
thusiastic endorsement of the Supt
Of schools, the school board, and
others who are interested in the boy.
The requirements are that a boy
be twelve years of age, willing to
abide by the prescribed rules and
regulations with an entrance fee of
twenty-five cents.
The troop meets every Saturday
morning at 8 a. m. at the high
school gymnasium.
The officers are: Scout Master,
Rev. C. E.. O'Bierne; Assistant Scout
Masters, William Goocher and Ell
more Tupper.

| The managers of the ST. Mary'S
Hospital campaign have found it ne
cessary to extend the time for work
beyond this week There are hun
dreds of people yet to be seen, and
on account Of the fair many of the
workers are unable to give full time,
more time is required to do the
work.
1t will be hard grind to obtain
the full amount, but it is here
abOuts, and if every one realizes
the need of his subscription and will
act quickly, there is no doubt but
that sufficient amount can he raised
to build hospital To insure sue
cess of the campaign all who will
subscribe must see to it that the
workers receive their pledges with
in the next few days, surely every
one has given due consideration to
this most important project and now
is the time to act
and are to be congratulated on the
harvest they have thus far reaped.
From this time on their efforts must
be redoubled. There is much still
to do, and but little time to do it.
There will be some citizens of Lady
smith whose names have been over
looked and if they are not called
upon they are requested to notify the
office by phone 2O7, by letter or to
call.
Subscribers are again asked to
give largely, the amount of their sub
scriptions is to- be paid in four in
stallments if desired covering a per-
iod of two years, every dollar invest
ed in st. Mary's Hospital is going
to produce a bumper harvest. st.
Mary's Hospital if established will
forever remain memorial of the
sacrifices, toll and love of all the
people who contributed, and will con-
tinue to pour back not only blessings
upon their givers, but profit to this
city and country. No greater work
can any man do than to establish
and maintain a house for the sick
and afflicted.
The following is a partial list Of
additional subscriptions.

! PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES !:
Is

Mr.. Schultz has taken charge q
the junior high school athletics.
The pupils and the teachers en-
joyed their holiday Friday at tbs
fair grounds.
Miss Maude Noteware was on the
sick list last Friday and Monday
Her place at the south side building
was filled by Miss Pearl Lindoo.
The high school class supervisors
for the year are Mr.. Schultz fo1
the freshmen, Miss Helm, the sopho
mOres. Miss Hitchcock, the juniors
and Miss Johnson and Mr.. Rahr
the seniors.
The teachers of the city schools
and the county training school were
pleasantly entertained at a recep-
ton given in their honor last Friday
evening by the Bethany Sisters, OF
the Congregational church.
The SOphomores met for organiza
ton last Tuesday afternoon and
elected the following officers: Inez
Richards, president; Austin Lutter
vice president; Nina Bell, secretary;
Verle Poole, treasurer.
This week closes the first month
of the school year. 1t has been a
most busy one for all the teachers,
the work of organization being espe-
cially difficult in some grades and
departments The school year has
opened successfully and the pros
poets for it's continuing SO are
bright.
Lynn w. stiles, of Milwaukee, re-
preventative of the CHM & Co. pub
fishing house, gave detailed ex-
PLANTATION of the Beacon method of
teaching reading to the local pri
mary teachers and to the faculty and
senior class Of the county training
school last Friday afternoon. The
Beacon method was adopted in our
schools earlier in the year.
The attention of all parents living
outside of the school district and
whose children are attending the La
dysmith grades is called to the fact
that the first semester tuition is due
and should be paid at once to the
principal of the building or to the
city superintendent. The rate is $1.75
per month. Tuition fees are payable
in advance each semester, but in
case a pupil does not remain the
entire semester, a proportionate re-
fund will be made.
1t is with considerable pleasure
that we are announcing the organi-.
zation of Boy Scout movement in
the city. Rev. G. E. O'Bierne has
taken the initiative in this work.
The movement has the hearty en-
dOrsement of the superintendent and
the board of education The scouts
who numbered about fifty strong
last week will meet regularly at 9
a. m. on Saturday mornings in the
high school gymnasium. The scout
master announces that there is a
place for every boy in the city be-
tween the ages of II and 81. 1t is
hoped that the interest already mani
tested will be maintained

The County School Board Conven
ton will be held at the Court House
Wednesday, October 18th, commen
cling at ten O'Clock.
The law provides that school clerks
shall attend, and that the other
members may;N also, the teacher
may without loss of time.
Officers are allowed two dollars
per day, and ten cents per mile trav-
eled each way, to be paid out of the
school treasury.
School officers should permit Their
teachers to attend, and if possible,
provide them transportation to and
from the trains.
Miss Hilda DePeW, Of District
No. 2, Grow, was the winner in the
Rusk County spelling and arithmetic
contest last spring, was given free
trip to and from the Milwaukee state
fair recently.
She reports a most delightful and
profitable experience at the fair. She
with other contestants throughout the
state, was shown through the state
exhibits free, and participated in the
state spelling contest. Although but
one pupil could win, nevertheless,
the trip and visit to the fair was
certainly memorable incident in
the school life of every contestant
present.
Miss DePew was a pupil in the
school taught by Miss Anna Fren-
chick, and the teacher deserves
much credit for the excellent drilling
and fitting given her pupil for the
contest
A considerable number of the rural
and graded schools of the county
submitted exhibits of pupils work at
the fair this week. Much of the ma
terial is of a very high order, and
the usual number of Blue and Red
tags were awarded. The Superinten-
dent wishes in this place to tender
hearty thanks to teachers who are
encouraging their pupils to prepare
exhibits. Pupils will undertake this
work with zest, if encouraged and
helped by their teacher, so for that
reason the success or failure of fair
rests with the teacher. Let all do
their best next year, for there are
a large number Of articles in the
premium list that no pupils have yet
undertaken.
A considerable number of teach
ers in both rural and graded schools
have not at this writing, Sept 26th,
sent in their reports of their classifi-
cation and recitation programs. We
need these.
Miss Bates is substituting this week
for Miss Chickering in No. 5, Mar
shall, and Hattie Colburn doing like
wise in No. 10 Big Bend.
No delinquent reports are required
for the month of September.
Several rural schools are being
much crowded because of the in
creased enrolment 1t will be well
for school officers to see that there
is at least 200 cubic feet Of air space
for each pupil. That space is re-
quired sby law. If OvercrOwded, there
is no other remedy than to enlarge
room, or transport to other dis
tricts
Teachers must avoid shutting off
the light supply with shades.
Floor space must be five or more
times window space used.

| B. Ward Beam
AS this letter was not received un
til the day before the fair opened
| it was utterly impossible to secure
another aviator, and Secy. Miller
did the only thing possible to relieve
the situation by getting additional
| features in the acrobatic line
The acrobatic acts were all very
good and pleased the crowds, but
did not, of course, make up for the
advertised attraction they had been
expecting.
Baseball
Baseball fans have got their
moneys worth this year, some very
interesting games having been played
The game Wednesday was between
Bruce and Ladysmith and that il
was hard fought throughout may be
judged from the fact that no score
was made until the ninth inning,
when Bruce got one man around the
circuit for the only tally of the
game.
The Thursday game was between
Hawkins and Ladysmith, the final
score being 3 to 2 in favor of La
dysmith. Good playing was respon-
sible for the low score, the pitchers
being effective and receiving good
support.
Today's baseball game was very
exciting contest between Glen Flora
and Hawkins, Glen Flora winning,
10 to 6. Hayes pitched a strong
game for Glen Flora, with Christ
man catching.
Wednesdays Races
There were four entrants in the
motorcycle race Wednesday, and the
time was fast. This race was for
Lady riders, 3 miles, best two
in three, for a purse of $40. Only
two heats were run in each of
them August Belgert being first,
Clinton Woods second, Levi Jenness
third, and Byron Bruegger fourth.
Time: 1855 and 4:04. This is re-
markably fast time for three miles,
considering the condition of the
track.
HI. w. True's "John Cecil Won
first money in the ''local green race"
Wednesday and "Geyne," owned by
the same gentleman, also won third.
Second money was taken by paddy
LaGoo," owned by w. G. Davis, OF
Weyerhaeuser. Only two heats were
run, the time being, respectively,
1:541h and 1:50.
The 2:30 trot Or pace Wednesday
was a very interesting race. Four
heats were run, the horses entered
and the position in each heat being
q fo11nWc.

Local Fruit and Produce
Plentiful On Tacoma Market

Tacoma Plenty of homegrown
strawberries forced the price down
again this week, the berries now being
quoted at S2.25, the lowest price this
season. The Kennewick berries are at
the end of their season and are inferior
in quality. Oregon berries are coming
in their place. but only small lots are
being received.
Cantaloupes are popular, with the
trade, and the price is rapidly declin-
ing to the regular summer level. APP
Piles are near the end of their season
and will soon be off the market. Cher
ries. apricots and plums are features
on the fruit market, coming from Cali
fornia in good condition.
Green peas are scarce and have nd
vanced to 10 cents pound. The scar
city is said to be on account Of unfa-
vorable growing weather. Beans,
both green and wax, new beets, car
rots, turnips, head lettuce and new po-
tatoes are arriving daily by express.
Hothouse tomatoes and cucumbers are
meeting with better demand with
warm weather.
No change in the price of meat is
expected until about the middle of
next month when grass-fed cattle and
sheep will begin coming into the mar
ket. The price of meat goes down
with the abundance of grass, dealers
say Fish is scarce, especially halibut.
