BOY SCOUTS
HAVE BIG
SESSION

Tho Boy Scouts assembled at Vinca
Park last evening and enjoyed one Of
the most interesting and instructive
mcat'rgs Of the season. The scout
masters round table talk on elemen-
tai first aid was instructive and the
scouts displayed such an interest aud
intelligence in discussing the essential
facts of first aid to the injured that

maritan," if not on every corner, at
least in every community within her
boundaries.
Last evening was the first that pa.
troll units were given in command Of
their respective patrol leaders and It
was gratifying to the scottmaster to
see the splendid form displayed by the
patrols and the efficient manner in
which Patrol Leaders Reese and Cos,
sett directed the patrol movements.
The scouts agreed to meet on Satur-
day morning and under the direction
Of patrol leaders cut the weeds and
clean up Vinca Park Later they ex.
pect to put up flag staff and display
their national loyalty by raising the
American flag.
The scoutmaster would like 70 hear
from boy-loying citizens OF Chickasha
with regards to obtaining the staff and
flag.
The "hike to Medicine Park" was
not discussed, owing to the absence
of information concerning camp de-
tails and expense. It is proposed to
make the hike" the first week in Au-
gust. remaining out for about ten
days.
The scoutmaster viii not take any
boys on the "hike" who are not prop.
erly equipped and who are not willing
to conform to the discipline necessary
to maintain order prevent sickness
and insure, as far as possible, against
injury and disaster
There were nearly forty scouts at
the meeting, though sickness and alb.
sence from the city prevented many
from attending.
Chickasha is beginning TO appreci-
ate the value Of the Boy Scout move
ment and the scoutmaster hears from
day 10 day many kindly expressions OF
approval for the work he is doing.

UNITED CATTLE AND SHEEP
men WILL FIGHT TO A FINISH

furnish funds for government activ-
tiles with which they have nothing in
common. 1t is intended to take the
fight to the very head Of the govern
ment. If Secretary Houston cannot
see his way clear to recommend the
raising of the money in some other
manner, it is planned to take the
fight into congress and show why the
cattle and sheep industries cannot af-
ford to bear the burden.
E. H. (Jack) Crabb of Flagstaff,
one of the leading cattlemen in the
state and member of the executive
committee of the National Livestock
Growers Association, was the prin-
cipal speaker at the days session.
He explained that there was a def
cit of $2,50O,0O0 in the forest reserve
funds, and that congress was con-
tinually asking the service why it is
not self supporting. The service,
stung by the criticism, has determined
to make the grazers pay the bill, and
has proposed a raise in grazing fees.
Mr.. Crabb pointed out that this was
manifestly unfair, when there were
eighty-two activities in which the for
est service spends money, by the SELL
ing of timber and the renting of graz
ing lands. -..
Then, too, Mr.. Crabb pointed out
that the Arizona district was self
supporting, but that many Of the dis
tricts in other states are not. The
cattle and sheep men Of this state do
not propose, said Mr.. Crabb, to pay
the bills of their neighbors.
Two-thirds Of the forest supervisors
of the southwest, and grazing super
intendents were present at the meet
ings, including John Kerr of Albu-
querque, chief of grazing for that
district; j. d Guthrie, forest super
visor Of Coconino, and Harold Green,
forest supervisor Of Tusayan.
In addition to being the spokesman
for the cattle men of the state, E. H.
Crabb was instrumental in getting
the open letter 70 stockmen published
in the Sun last week, read into the
proceedings Of the meeting.
