Making 4 Record Jump-Romsncs and
Tragedy.

TINE news of Pershings promotion
to brigadier general thrilled Wash.

heads of S62 senior officers jumps the
man who was once undecided whether
he should become a lawyer or sol

and perhaps just bit Of envy the Won

have been holding conferences this
week with Director Baker of the
United States mint, are reasonably
certain that the government will ar
range to take the silver product of the
western mines at Il minimum price of
Sl per ounce. provided legislation can
be passed authorizing it to do so. The
purchase will be recommended to con-
Sress by the secretary of the treasury
and legislation will be urged by west :.

TO fill. the demand for silver. it is
estimated that the government will be

DR. Lockwood took some of the COM
ing scouts upon a hike last week, and
after a pleasurable. thought strenuous
tramp. one of the boys was heard to
remark:
Gee! I thought the Scouts were a
sissy bunch, but I've got another guess
coming. This hiking and learning
woodcraft is the real thing"

Some of the enterprising scouts of
Troop No. have launced a weekly
news sheet called the Scout Review"
devoted to scout work and news, as
well as to bits of news of general in
terest. The first issue appeared on De-
cember H.. The scouts expect to make
the next issue better and they are
looking for both reporters and sub
scribers. The boys manufactured their
own photograph outfit. with which to
run off large number of copies.
Six of the scouts of Troop No. 4 have
been appointed by the scoutmaster as

passed their first laid and bandaging
