Speaking Of rewards, it is true that
even grown-ups like to be rewarded.
We are thinking just this moment Of
a case in hand, where, we believe, 1t
would be pleasant for the one who
lately did a neat piece of detective
work to know that others really ap-
preciate his efforts. We refer to De-
tective Stein, who performed quick
action in recovering a lost pin. He
proved himself a good scout and
should by rights belong to our noble
order But he's too old, unfortunate
ly. The man who lost the pin was
more than happy, and good turns"
were done all the way round. 1t was
all very quiet, but the pin was very
expensive, 80 you may imagine how
the heart Of the owner fluttered No
matter, scouts, If we are paid for do
ing certain things, isn't it pretty nice
to have q kind word from somebody?
In regard to our flag of red, white
and blue, we are wondering II Artist
Poole could not draw for US a nice lit.
tie picture of scouts at work with
ralzes and hoes; then another nice
little picture of all the vegetables
springing up like magic, each one
topped with an American flag. In
this regard we believe he would meet
with competition from the mysterious
cartoonist, H. NJ p. of our morning
contemporary. These are meek sug.
gestions for keeping our gardening in
mind.
AS Flag Day and hamehameha Day
are soon to be here, we must not for.
get our duty to the flag, nor to the
Hawaiian race nor to the public gen.
orally. Be on hand, scouts, in uni.
form, and with slaves, at o'clock on
Monday morning, at the makai en-
trance to the Palace grounds. The
G. A. r. and other orders will be
there, and seats will be reserved for
scouts. Speaking Of the G. A. r. re-
minds US that a gallant old man of
this order told US the other day that
he thought so much of the Boy Scouts
of Western New York as to give
them free access to his large tract
of timber land in q certain section
there, and that he had much to tell US
concerning them. So now we are in
for a good old talkfest with this keen
and appreciative old gentleman.
When one Of the scouts in Troop
XII received red marks for saving
two little girls from an automobile
at Nuuanu and School
streets, he did not know that the Star
Bulletin was going to say anything
about 1t, Of course. But we are proud
Of him. Scribe Moi Kee Hu did not
send In the names of those who pass
ed tests, although we know that Mr..
Brier has been busy with the records
OF all his scouts. This is good troop
for some more boys to Join. as It con-
tains but two patrols.
At last! Yes, it's time, boys, that
Troop is going to arm hoes and
march forth to conquer part of the
Irwin site, on June 16. No doubt the
Irwin site viii feel q heavy weight
down upon ii, when given the
party planned by the Nuuanu
troop, as there will be two more pat
rolls than the good old earth was plan
ming for. But the fact Is that Troop
needs to make up to serious bust
ness and help Uncle Sam raise beans.
At last weeks meeting Howard Bah
oitt named 10 out Of 20 articles in
playing Kim's game. Signaling was
Dractised and first preparations were
made toward the next scout rally. To
morrow night Troop will meet, ready |
to drop any scout who may be absent
without a good excuse.
A week or two ago, out at Kaimuki, |
Armitage, a good little boxer, rose
and challenged any and everybody pre-. !
sent Sonny" KiIby took up the chaL |
enge. They fought three rounds,
then retired with the score a draw. |
Next, Curly" Kilby and W. Reeves
fought one hot" round, the next two |
rounds being tanner, Their score,
also, stood a draw. VIM. Charlocks |
was accepted. At last
Friday nights meeting the scouts

slaves. These two troops are prepar-
