BOYS SCOUTS PLAN
 BIG TIME TOMORROW
Combined Troops to Engage in
 Parade and Field Meet

Tomorrow is the day set by the Boy Scouts of New Britain for their first annual out-of-doors rally and field meet. The Scouts have been planning for a long while on this occasion and it is sure to be one of the features of the Scout program of the year. All of the troops have been working hard to get themselves i'll readiness for the day and it is sure that the events in the meet will be stubbornly con- tested
 Scout Parade.
 As previously announced the open ing feature of the celebration will be the parade, an entirely Scout parade from the automobiles in which repre- sentatives of the local council will ride, to the music by the drum corps. From the parade it is felt that the city will come to realize anew what the boys of the city are doing and what lines of development are ahead. New Brltain's greatest asset is her boys and girls and one of the most efficient organizations in the city for the training of the boys for adequate citizenship is the Boy Scout move ment.
 Those in Line.

WHAT THE BOY SCOUTS ARE DOING

Now that all scouts have returned from their summer vacations and those who have been working, have given up their employment to return to school, this fall season is the very best time to put new life into your troop activities. From accounts that have been received by the commission CT, this seems to be the case. Most of the troops are starting up with a vim and planning new activities for the fall and winter. It is earnestly hoped that those scouts who might be known as dead wood" will be urged to retain their membership in the troop, and strive for the new ranks of associate and veteran scout which are described elsewhere. Even though they cannot regularly attend meetings and pay dues, they are now entitled to life long connection with the great scout movement. "Once a scout, always scout" is the new slogan.
 Associate Scouts.
 In the new edition of the Hand book for Boys is printed a list of the following conditions upon which scout may be enrolled as an associ- ate scout:
 l. The associate scout obligates and Law and do his daily good turn" in the same way as an active member of the troop.
 2. He obligates himself to attend turing the year such troop meetings IS are agreed upon at the time he is enrolled as an associate scout. In 10 case can this be less than one meeting a year and it may be one month or every meeting during the vacation period.
 5. He agrees to do all in his power to advance himself in scouting activ ities, according to the circumstances in his case. In case of removal to another community arrangements may be made whereby an associate cal scout authorities in passing sec ond class, first class and merit badge tests.

It is understood that before the meeting of the town committee on the Thursday evening before the Saturday evening when the caucus was held for the nomination of town officers that it was known to a few members of the committee that Dr. Albert M. SDicer, who had been a member of the school committee for many years, had expressed a wish to retire. This fact was kept from other members of the 'comnnittec and the name of ThCmaS dIoDe was sprung at the meet ing for candidate for school commit teeman. This same section of the town committee had also selected three members for the newly created board of highway commissioners, naming Charles J. Butler, Harvey c. Perry and Orlando R. Smith.
 Without any semblance of organiza- tion. but with a desire 10 express dis approval of such political methods, voters went to that caucus and placed pr. Michael H. Scanlon in opposition to MT. Hope. Charles F. Berry against MT. Perry and Joseph L. I.enihan against Mr Smith as highway com- missioners. MT. Berry defeated Mr

He agrees to hold himself as a scout in readiness in case of disaster or calamity requiring the services of his troop. and in case of removal to another community to make known his presence and Yolaee of fSresidence to the scout authorities so that he may be availap1e there for services in any emergency.
 ,. An associate scout. pays his reg;stra ton fees in the same manner as an active member of the troop.
 Watch Your Whistle! N
 A scoutmaster in an eastern city was out with his troop practicing the Morse code, the scoutmaster going ahead and signaling back to the troop.
 Coming to 8 policemans booth he mistaken his signals for a call for help.
 The fact developed that the scout niaster.s whist 1es and the poIfceman's s whistle were of exactly the same type.
 The official scout whistle was se- lected because of its power and car rying qualities. The police depart ments in all parts of the country have selected the same type of whistle for the same reason. Scouts and scout officials should be careful when me WnlSIleS are used III signal practice that they are far enough away from the officers of the law to prevent any possible misunderstand- ing.
 Some police department officials have suggested that citizens provided themselves with police whistles as a means of protection, and it would be unfortunate if the scouts should les sen that protection by the indiscrim- mate use of the same kind of a whistle.
 Troop I.
 The last week of June the scouts of the troop were taken on a motor boat trip to Gales Ferry in the boat owned by MT. Hall.
 Many of the scouts came out for

Perry in the contest for road commis- sioner.

At the recent meeting of the town committee no slate was made up for the membership of the town commit tee. it being deemed advisable to leave that wholly with the caucus to be held this evening. However, a number of citizens and voters of Westerly, in order to prevent repetition of alleged objectionable deals and connivance, have decided to place before the eau GUS this evening the names of men who can be relied upon to be just among their fellow committeeman, ad- wise and consult with them, and who will not seek to pull off any such deals as were attempted last June. It is understood that the new names for membership on the town committed will be from the First representative district.

 the unw1-itten rule that they should not participate in the meeting, as they were candidates for renomina- ton. At that time William CuIley was president of the town council, and he, with Mr. Thorp, had incurred the wrath of certain members of the town committee, and they were slated for elimination from the field of political activity. After a stormy session these two gentlemen were dropped from the political roll. so to speak, and in their places in the council Clifford W. Camp bell and Frederick E. Fowler were slated as their successors, and their nominations were to be sprung on the caucus. When MT. Culley got on to the game he gracefully announced that he would not be candidate before the caucus. He had nc disposition to make a fight fer his retention. Not so with MT. Thorp whose friends insist ed that he be g candidate for re- election and resent the raw political deal.

Mir. Thorp consented 10 be candi- date in opposition to the candidate selected by the committee to oppose him, and soon had large following aroused up to the highest political pitch, and the committee held 8 late and hasty meeting just prior to the caucus. It was plain that Mr. Thorp could not be defeated. and MT Camp bell withdrew, and allowed Mir. Fowler to be the successor of MT. CulIey, but at the bottom of the ticket and as seventh councilman. That was some caucus.

EPIDEMIC OF DOURlNE.
Dilease Makes Appearances Among
Horses Near Dedham.

Horses Near Oodham.
Carroll, Jan. 17.-Dr. Simpson, OF
Denison was in the city and held con-
suitatlon with J. l. Gibson and DE-
Johnston, state veterinarian land as
sistant, regarding disease that made
it's appearance among horses north OF
Dedham some time ago. 1t Is said that
DT. Eangenreld was the first to run
across the trouble in his practice In
that section.
The horses seem to be affected much
in the same way that humans are dis
eased when suffering from bad case
of syphilis, the disease being called
"dourine." The disease is communi-
Gated only in the breeding and is not
transmitted by ordinary contact. The
horses get softening of the BRAIN be-
come enervated, stagger and lose al!
vitality. 1t is said twenty-six mares
are under quarantine in the south part
of the county and will be so held for
an indefinite time. The state and fed
eral government for a time each paid
farmers half Of loss incurred but It
seems that at present there is no
money available to pay Carroll county
farmers. Two of the animals have
been sent to Washington for scientific
study of the malady.
Dourine was brought to this country,
it is supposed. by stallion bought by
a we'll known breeder at Denison. This
horse was stood" a season and next
year the infection became evident in
the neighborhood. After being dis
covered and the veterinarians, state
and federal took charge of the infec
ton, the disease has been carefully
guarded and it is said that it's spread
need not be feared.

POSTMASTER IN TROUBLE.
Fredcnia Nasty Arraisned at Keoku'<
on Embezzement Charge.

Keols,1k Jan. NV z. Button,
postmaster. at F'redonia. Iowa. is under
arrest in Keokuk awaiting action OF
the federal grand jury. charged with
ernbezzlement of postoffice money
orders.
Button was owner Of a general store
and postmaster at the little town OF
Fredonia, in Wapello county. 1t is al
legged that as postmaster, Button
would fill out a money order to pay
for goods that Button. the merchant,
had purchased 1t is said that he
would sell the goods, put the prohts
into his pocket and then make good ms
accounts to the government, the post
office department being none the wiser.
Government officials who have in
vestigated the case say that this prac'
tice may have gone on without Their
kn5"iadge for period of two years
or more. The Fredonia office IS
small one and the reports were always
forthcoming from the postmaster each
month. though at times they were
| little late.
A postoffice inspector went to in
yestigate and is alleged to have dis
| covered a shortage amounting to about
| 800. Too late Button paid over tho
| money.
On the complaint of Inspector 0. F.
! Scherer a warrant for Buttons arres,
| was issued by Archer G. Miller. United
States commissioner in Keokuk. United
! States Marshal d. G. Crowley went to
| F'redonia and made the arrest, bring
| ing the prisoner to Keokuk.
| He was arraigned before Commits
sioner Miller and waived preliminary
| examination. He was placed under
$500 bonds to await the action Of the
grand jury in March. A. S. Thompson
and w. H. Dean, residents Of F'redonia,
gave bond for him.
While Button is reported to have
made good the alleged discrepancy. he
still must face the charge preferred
against him by the government
