Car. Needed for xamnosh Crops

Through representations made per-
sonaliy by members Of the Colorado
Public Utilities Commission while on
business in Washington last week.
the Interstate Commerce Commission
has been impressed with the fact that
Colorado this year has abnormally
large crop and livestock shipments,
and as . result the federal commits
sion has agreed to exert every ef-
fort to see that this state ahalI have
sufficient cars in which TO move these
commodities to market.

RADIO Commission has kept the wires
busy with telegrams advising the
federal authorities OF all develop

600 cars are urgently needed for
shipments OF apples. potatoes and
onions, and that cars should be avail
able to move large portion of these
crops within the next ten days.
Acting upon daily reports from its
inspectors. who have been kept con

weeks. the Commission has gotten

with reference to the needs OF the

fence of the people and at the request

ing in the territory thus placed under
another or a new jurisdiction. There
has never been an instance when the
people were bought or sold, and that
against their will, as would be the
case were the suburban sections OF

Such proceeding would be abhor-
rent and at variance with all Ameri-

lied by the Calverts, Baltimore Coun-
ty would much prefer to be let alone.

people insist that it must contain a
provision for a confirming vote by the
people whom the anneXatiOnists pro-
pose to take from a $1.00 tax area and

claim that this right of referendum

Remember! Boy Scouts DO Not Carry
Gums

The Boy Scout Movement does not
put the idea Of killing in the minds of
Boy Scouts; it does not put instru-
ments of death into their hands.
Uncle Sam does not want boy SOL
diers Military work is a mans work
There is no reason why the nation
should ask its boys to become SOL
diers. They are needed for boys
work.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, Major
General Leonard A. Wood, the Secre-
tary of War, the Secretary of the
Navy, the Chief of Staff of the United
States Army-these men, seriously
concerned with the proper prepare
lions Of our boys for their full duty
as citizens, are officers of the Boy
Scouts of America. On April I'd,
Major General Hugh L. Scott, Chief
of Staff, wrote:
The necessary elementary instruc-
ton that every young American should
have in order to be prepared to play
his part in the National defense can
be obtained by his work in the Boy
Scouts of America"
A National Education Committee
after thorough investigation Of the
schoolboys reported:
The Boy Scout Movement and the
activities Of similar associations of
young people, which avoid military
exercises, but which involve features
designed to promote health and
strength and inculcate courtesy,
mutual respectfulness, uprightness,
and patriotic devotion should be en-
couraged."
The boys work in the Boy Scouts
of America does not include strictly
military drill. The Scout Movement
has found a far better way to train
and use boys in our country's ser
vice in times like these. The eminent
military men named above, the Presi-
dent Of the United States, Governors,
educators, pastors, business and pro-
fessiOnal men know, and have said
| that the Scout Movement provides
moro beneficial training for boys of
scout age than any military" course
When you see a boy carry gun
when you Sc the picture of a boy
with a gUn-yOu may be sure that
he is not Boy Scout, as the term
Boy Scout is understood throughout
the world. Don't call him a Boy
Scout. If you do so you do grave in
justice and real harm to the move
ment of which the President of the

dent and which has the hearty sup
port Of all men and women who are
