Grim Realization.
Grim realization that Germany has
at last struck successfully at this
country's transport service was
brought sharply before America in
the sinking of the American troop
ship Tuscani Out of 2179 soldiers
aboard there was a probable loss of
over 260 lives, according to the first
estimates.
The successful attack on the trans
port marked the opening of long
expected U-boat drive against the in
creasing lines of United States
troops that are being sent to the
French front and Germany's greatest
stroke of the war against this coun
try.

The fact that the transport was

The sale of War Savings Stamps in Hot Spring county has reached $19,0O0 (maturity value.) While this is a fairly good start on the amount of these bonds this county is expected to take. The people might as well wake up to the fact that the government ex- poets that their savings be invested in government bonds to pay the expense of this war. It is far better to loan your government your money and re- ceive a fair rate of interest than to have to pay burdensome taxes. We are in this fight to the finish--there is no getting around that fact--and the quicker we wake up to the fact the sooner we are going to have the thing over. A man who loves his country considers 1t a privilege rather than 3 burden to invest in liberty bonds and War Savings Stamps, and to help the Red Cross, the Y M. c. A. and other war matters.

PROTECTING SCOUT NAME
BY National Council Of
Scouts of American

The Boy Scouts Of America was in.
cOrpOrated February 8, 1910, under the
laws of the District of Columbia, and
on June Is. 1916. by act Of congress, 1t
was granted a federal charter.
Through hard work on the part Of
its scoutmasters and leaders it has
established a nationwide favorable in
depreciation Of the word scouting"
and what the boy scout movement
stands for.
1t is a sacred duty Of all scouts and
scout officials to cooperate in protect
ing the good name and reputation of
the Boy Scouts of America. The use
Of the words scouts" and "bOy
scouts" should not be permitted by
those in authority simply for CONNER
cialism or simply for the purpose Of
exploiting something which is an imi-
tatiOn Of the genuine boy scout move
ment.
In accordance with the act Of June
3, 1916. congress has specifically linn

States army, navy and marine corps

uniforms of those branches Of our ma

given, however, to the Boy Scouts of
America to use the uniform as pre-
scribed in its regulations.

Reindeer in Newfoundland.

Reindeer feed on reindeer moss
which is so much more abundant in
Newfoundland than in Lapland that
the deer in their new surroundings sre
almost twice as large as in Lapland.
Although the moss is so abundant, the
reindeer are so dainty in the matter
of their feeding that they refuse to
eat anything that has once been tram.
pied over; thus 1t is necessary to keep
them constantly on the move. Even
in winter they are able to paw through
the snow and find the moss. In their
wild and untrammeled state they are
quite able to forage for their own
food; but of course when they are
used as beasts of burden they are
treated as such and the extra burden
of finding their own food is not put
upon them. In such cases the reindeer
moss is gathered and dried and fed to
the deer as hay is fed to horses.

SCOUTS NOT TIN SOLDIERS.

In some places it has been suggested
that military titles such as neutenants,
captains, majors, colonies and gener-
ais be conferred upon boy scouts in
recognition of their efforts in the war
savings stamp campaign.
This plan is not approved by the
treasury department and Is not in
harmony with the leadership Of the
Boy Scouts of America and is op-
posed by representatives Of the Boy
Scouts Of America.
