FIRST REGULAR MEETING
Of THE BOY SCOUTS

The Boy Scouts held their first
regular meeting of the fall season on
Wednesday evening in the high school
gym asium.
The Rev. N. Carter Daniel, scout
master, reports an eighty per cent at
tendance in spite of the rain, and prob
ably those who seemed to be laggards
were prevented from coming owing to
distance and the inclement weather.
The kinter program was discussed
and promises to be of exceptional at
Effectiveness. Charles N. Bruegger is
assistant scout master, and Max Ull-
rich is the physical culture instructor.
1t is hoped that other boys between
the ages of IL and Is years who desire
the benefits this organization confers,
mental, moral and physical, will send
in early applications, as there is room
for few more live, ambitious tender
feet who wish to become scouts, al
though there is a natural limit.
A letter has been received by the
scoutmaster from scout headquarters
in New York stating that Scout Freder-
lex Hahn and ScOutmaster N. Carter
Daniel have qualified for the Liberty
loan medal offered to every scout who
sold five Liberty bonds when the re-
cent campaign was on. These medals
will later be presented by an official
of the United States judiciary to those
who through their efforts are worthy
the honor of receiving them. The pre-
sentation will probably be of a public
nature, so that scouts who receive
them may have memento which they
can cherish through lifetime.

Harvesting the Mountain To Conquer
the Mountain.

The mountains for years almost i'm
passable barriers to transportation
have been made to yield their limitless
store Of energy to the service of man.
The tremendous forces of mountain
torrents have been fitted to the yoke
Of achievement and now furnish the
power that hauls the great all-steel
trains of the Milwaukee Road"
across the backbone Of the continent
40 miles through the Belt, Rocky, and
Bitter Root Mountains. An additional
211 miles is being electrified through
the Cascade Mountains, Washington.
When next you journey to the cit
les OF the Pacific Northwest travel
electrically on either of those famous
trains, 1.-THE Olympian' or 1.-THE Col
umbian"
Mountain travel without cinders-
without jar or grinding brakes. Snow
clad vistas unobscured by trailing
smoke-via the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul Railway
For literature giving complete in
formation regarding this wonderful
achievement apply to local agent of
this railway.

SHORTAGE IN COAL SUPPLY
IS CLAIM OF DEALERS

According to local dealers there will
be a great shortage in the coal supply
this year. One of the local dealers
sent in two orders for coal and re-
ceived replies to both stating that coal
at present was unobtainable at any
price. Both concerns refused to accept
these orders for future delivery. They
are accepting orders for lump or COM
mercial coal, and contend that to man
Improbable.
At the present time companies are
paying from 50 to $2.65 ton for coal
at the mines, and represents an adj
vance of 100 per cent over prices paid
several months ago. At the same time
steam consumption is expanding just
when the householders are coming in
to the market. In the east the railroads
are running short of cars because the
lines are congested and coal is NOV
ing more slowly than at any time
since midwinter, eight months ago.
The movement in fact is as slow aslat
any time on record.
Through all of this strife and con-
tentiOn the fact stands out that the
nation is in the grip of fuel famine,
before effective consumption by house
holders is really started and before
the grain movement is really trying
the railroads to capacity. What they
will do when both movements are in
full swing remains to be seen. OF one
thing we are positive, that government
price fixing and an order to all coal
companies to manufacture the house
hold variety, and to see that it is dis
tributed throughout the United States,
the famine is bound to be alleviated in
measure.

Last Band Concert.

The Watertown band rendered it's
last concert Thursday evening in the
park. The attendance of the concerts
given on Thursday evening of each
week and on several Sundays attracted
a large number of people. The playing
this year was much better than that Of
last year. An innovation was intro
duced this season by having local tai
ent sing accompanied and on these
occasions standing room alone was to
be had in the park.
The band has been self-supporting
until this year when an appropriation
was made by the city to pay the band S
expenses. That it was wise move is
evidenced by the fact that in every
way the concerts have justified the ex-
penditure.
The band advertised the city on
several occasions, having played at the
Jefferson fair, the state fair In Milwau-
kee. They also furnished most Of the
music at the Watertown fair.

High School Notes

Everything is normal at present in
ordinary has occurred during the past
week. The seniors as yet remain SUI
preme in that they have been the only
class to elect officers as yet, and 1t is
time for the freshmen, sophomore and
junior classes to get busy.
The present enrolment now num-
bers 318. A few of the students who
registered at the beginning of the year
have left, having moved out of town.
Miss Abigail Manning claims as her
home South Dakota.
Miss Florence and Charles Kohn,
Madison.
Miss Marie Hilker, Jefferson.
Miss Ruth Clark, northern Wiscon-
sin.
The committee appointed by the
senior class to prepare definite plans
for the issue of the Orbit has nearly
completed work and intends present
ing to the class their plans for a war
issue" Of the Orbit, along Hoover lines.
1t is their intention to allow of no ex-
travagance in this issue. Unwise> econ
omy will also be avoided. Features of
permanent value will not be sacrificed,
but on the other hand those features
which heretofore have been merely
space filters and of temporary interest
will have no space in the coming issue.
In short, an annual that will appeal,
attract and be of interest, and as
cheap as possible, with regard to the
appearance Of the book is the aim of
those now at work on the plans for
the coming issue.
The sophomore class followed the
lead Of the seniors and elected class
officers at a meeting Thursday even
ing. The following have been named
to guide the destinies of the class this
year: Adley Pieritz, president; Carl
Hoeffner, vice president; William Fitz-
gerald secretary; Miss Ramona Will
liams, treasurer.
The football team has been through
a week of strenuous practice and will
be in splendid shape for the first game
Of the season

FORD VS.. OVERLAND,
Two Cars In Mixup At First and Main
Streets This Morning.

Two autos crashed into each other
at the intersection of First and Main
streets this mornig. The fact that both
cars were going at a slow rate Of
speed alone prevented more serious
accident
According to bystanders who wit
messed the accident, F. Schroeder of
Pennington, who was driving an Over
land, was coming north on First street
and had just started to cross the in
tersection of Main street to turn west,
when Roy c. Kruse, route 2, Water
loo, who was driving east on Main
street ran into the other car The en-
CINE in both cars were killed and when
they were forced apart it was seen
that the Ford had the front rod bent
badly out shape, the speedometer out
of commission and the mud guard
bent. The Overland had the dash bent,
while the body had deep dent where
the mud guard of the other car struck
it. One of the front rods on the car

CHEESE PRICES ADVANCE,
Market For Milk Product Is Higher
Than Usual,

That Wisconsin cheese will advance
to the price level reached in 1916 is
assured as the cheese market has
been steadily advancing the past week.
The increase is due to the greatly
increased consumption of cheese,
caused by the one meatless day week
which is being observed throughout
the nation. The growing circulation of
pamphlets and other literature which
is being sent out by the County Coun-
Gil of Defense, is responsible in way
as there are many wise suggestions to
the housewife as regards the worth of
cheese to replace meat and which
many people are following.

At the Theatres

The offering at the Classic Friday
will be Hands Up" This picture,
credited to the authorship of Al Jen-
nings, ex-holdup man, gets away to a
fine start, the promise of which is in
no way fulfilled by the finish. 1t takes
up the difficult plot of brother and
sister-Who are unaware of their re-
lationship-being in love with one an
other At least, such is the supposition
the fact that the relationship came
not through blood, but through mar
riage.
Hobart Bosworth, who appears in
support of Margaret Ellington in her
next photodramatic production, the
Lasky-Paramount picture 1.-THE Inner
Shrine" which vii. be seen at the Ma
jestic Friday, plays the role Of an ex-
p1orer Mr.. Bosworth is an explorer in
real life as we'll, as the poison marks
on his hands and face testify. Others
in the cast are Elliott Dexter, Jack
Holt and Nine. D'Juria.
For the Flag" starring Mrs. Vernon
Castle, will beshown at the Classic
Saturday, and brings 'Patria" to a
close. For the fost part, the final two
reels are filled with the scenes of
trench warfare, glimpses of which
were shown in the fourteenth episode.
Trenches and bridges are blown to
atoms, bombs burst right in front of
the camera, there are charges innum-
cradle, and the men drop as if real
bullets were fired instead of blanks.
George Beban, the Pallas-Para-
jestic on Sunday and Monday in "a
Roadside Impresario,' and Bruno, the
bear that is appearing with him in
this production, are no longer on
speaking terms. The reason for this is
that Bruno playfully removed por-
ton Of Mr. Beban's ear during the re-
hearsal of a scene.
1.-The Pinch Hitter" has been billed
for the Classic Monday. AS character
study of country boob" at fresh
water college, "The Pinch Hitter" is
above them all and as laugh produc-
er this Triangle production has an
edge on a great many other comedies.
The Beautiful Lie" starring Fran
ces Nelson and presented by r. A.
Rolfe, will be shown at the Majestic
Saturday 1t is an adaptation of Ella
Wheeler Wilcox's poem, "a Reverie in
a Station-House."
