tell him about the magic drum.
/. Then he took down the drum and
explained its manner of working.
Kama was wise enough not to tell |
about the storehouse Of gold, for he
feared 1t might tempt his brother to
90 him harm, but he never thought
Hassan would try to steal the drum.
But that is just what he did That
night when the moon set, Hassan
stole out into the night and, opening
the window, got into the house. In
few moments he had the drum under
his arm and was running madly home.
But safe at home he hid it under his
'lbed, while he thought out what he
| could best wish for.
] Then he beat upon the drum loudly.
lhere was a noise, a cloud of smoke
and voice said: what does my mas
ter wish?"
Il want you to turn the home of
my brother to ashes, to burn his cattle
and crops and turn his family out in
rags exclaimed the wicked brother.
Then you are to pile in, my courtyard
as many bags of gold as will make
an acre of money"
Hassan rose and went to the win
Idow. He saw the beautiful home Of
his brother crumble into ashes, the
crops in flames and, at last, Kama ant
his family fleeing in rags. His crue
mature was filled with pleasure Thel

ACTIVITIES

In the face of adverse weather condl-
tions, the first months work, under
new supervision, shows keen interest
and appreciation. Approximately l2OO
people took advantage of the privileges
on the Ray grounds alone, not only the
children of the schools, but many of the
young folks of the camp are enjoying
the different games. The volley ball
court was the scene of many spirited
contests during the recent enforced lay
off. Young America is laying the foun-
dation for the national game in their
daily games of play ground ball.
It is particularly desirable that the
parents shall be impressed with the i'm
portance of this work, and interest
themselves in becoming familiar with
it's needs and doing their part in the
provision of the same, as well as seeing
that their children are not only per-
mitted but urged to make use of the
privileges. This work has been estab-
lished for the public benefit but can
only be a success by the cooperation
of all.

ously opposed the plan for a continental
army on the ground that it would be
wholly impractical. Much opposition
to the plan came from the fact that it
required men to enlist for two months
in the year, and gave no assurance that
they would be able to keep their posi-
tions during that time. This, it was
said, would penalize the patriotic en-
ployer, while in many quarters the
argument was raised that the man who
enlisted in the continental army would
spend two months in drilling and the
other ten looking for job.
Secretary Garrison refused to discuss
his resignation, and left for New York
Immediately after it's acceptance by the
president. He refused to be interviewed
on the subject after his arrival at that
city.

IGNORANCE IS
No EXCUSE FOR
SELLING BOOZE

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 10.-Ignorance
of the fact that liquor is intoxicating
does not excuse anyone from the pen
alties for violating the prohibition
amendment, according to the decision
of the supreme court in the case of the
state against l. E. Troutner of this city.
If a man sells what he thinks is pare
goric and it turns out to be intoxicat-
ing liquor, he is guilty under the law.
The law presumes that he knows he is
selling, and whether it is intoxicating
nor not. 1t is his duty to know for GER
tain what he sells. This, in brief, is
the meaning of the decision.
Intention or lack of intention to sell
Intoxicating liquor has nothing to do
with the question, according to the in
structions given by the superior court
of Maricopa county which have been
upheld by the states highest tribunal
Troutner, who was charged with having
disposed of Bull Dog" cider claimed

Anniversary WEEK OF
BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA

habit to cultivate and is so worth
while). A scout is loyal to all to whom
loyalty is due; his scoutmaster, his
home, his parents and his country.
Self reliance: The scout slogan is
"BE PREPARED" through the diff
ferent tests that he is required to pass,
as he advances from the tenderfoot to
the second class, to the third class, he
is trained to do things worth while that
tend to develop him into a healthy,
clean boy. The scout training aims to
educate, that is, to draw out the boy
to investigate for himself voluntarily,
the things that tend to build up char
acter in him. Character is more es-
Sential to success than erudition.
Erudition is taught in our schools, but
there seems to be no authorized train
ing for children in character, yet if it
him, it should be developed before he
starts out, while he is a boy and re-
ceptive. Character can not be drilled
into the boy, the germ is already there
and needs to be drawn out and de-
veloped, therefor the scout idea. He
is taught to study nature, to draw and
read a map correctly, to point out COM
pass directions without the aid of COM
pass. He is taught exercises that pro-
mote development and growth, how
to care for his body, the right and
wrong in athletics, to be fair in play,
a good winner and better loser.
Can there be any doubt in the mind
of any person that has read and
thought at all of this work, of the need
of it right here in Ray? Is there a
man who has the interest of the boy at
heart, who has not forgotten his own
boyhood, who is willing to make the
few sacrifices, if they be sacrificed
and take upon himself the conduct of
this work If there be such a man in
Ray, who will volunteer his services
he would not only be doing a work that
would count for much in future years
but would be earning the gratitude Of
the community.

ANOTHER BIG STRIKE
ON UNITED EASTERN.
WILL ADD MILLIONS

OATMAN, Ariz, Feb. 10.-Another
big strike has been made by the United
Eastern, this time on the 665-foot level,
the deepest in the mine. Sensational
high grade gold values were struck ITO
of the vein. Samples picked from the
four-foot breast ran better than $500
per ton in gold, it was learned from an
unofficial source.
While no official assay has yet been
given out by the company, it is con-
servatively estimated that the new
strike means the uncovering of at least
100000 more in ore, bringing the
value of the mine to $15,00O,000. There

character builder, is what we wish to
try and show to the parent and the
public, that they may appreciate more
our effort to help our boys, through
this organization. First let us consider
the qualities that make for character
and how scouting develops them. Rev.
erence, Loyalty to God, Duty to Neigh
Dor, Respect for others. This is COW
cred by the oath that the boy takes on
joining the organization The law
which he promises to obey says that
he must be reverent to God and to re-
spect the convictions of others in mat
ters Of custom and religion.
Sense of honor: A scouts honor is
to be trusted, should he violate this by
not doing a task when he is trusted,
should he lie or cheat, he can no longer
wear his scout badges. Self discipline:
The law requires the scout to be 'obedi-
ent to his parents, teacher and all other
duly constituted authorities. He shall
be thrifty, make the best of his oppor-
tunities, save his money so that he may
pay his own way, help those in need
work faithfully and not destroy prop
erty. A scout should be cheerful able
to smile when things go wrong, never
shirk nor grumble at hardships.
Unselfishness: The law says that he
must be courteous to all, to old people,
the weak and helpless and shall never
receive pay for such services. He shall
be a friend to animals and strive to
save and protect all harmless life and
to share the home duties He must do
at least one good turn to somebody
each day. (How many of you readers
practice just that? Yet it is an easy

4 WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-Because

last ditch for the continental army plan,

Both designations have been accepted
by the president. Automatically Major
General Hugh L. Scott becomes secre-
tary of war until a successor to Gar
rison is appointed.
While his insistence on a federal con-
tinental army instead of a reorganiza-
tion of the national guard was the main
reason for Garrison's withdrawal from
the cabinet, it is said that he was op-
posed to the administrators policy set
ting definite time for granting the
Philippines independence. This he
characterized as an abandonment of the
duty of the nation and a breach of faith
with the Filipinos.
AS to the plans for preparedness,

department could be considered by con-
gress. National guard officers strenu-
