7 BRAVE SCOUTS
SAVE BOYS LIFE
TWELVE YEAR OLD SON OF r. {.
MADDlNG is REcuED FROM
WATERY GRAVE.

A story of bravery not excelled by
the heroic deed of any lad who ever
won Carnegie medal is that of the
rescue of Edward Madding from a
watery grave in the eddying waters of
the Arkansas River on last Tuesday.
A party of five boys, all Scouts, had
gone to sand bar above the city to
swim. Edward Madding, aged twelve.
was the first one in the water and
was enjoying his swim, when, moving
out little too far he was caught in q
swift current of deep water in which
he could not make his way, or vas
sucked under
Louis Dodge, aged fourteen, who
was in bathing suit ready to enter the
water, saw his little campanion sink.
Before he could reach him, the boy
had gone down the third time Enter
ing the swift current at the risk of
his own life, young Dodge caught the
drowning boy as he came up, appar-
emily dead
While he was struggling in the cur
rent to keep himself and the dead
weight of the Madding boy from go
ing under, John Robert Hicks aged Is
was hastily throwing his clothing off.
moment later he entered the current
BY this time Dodge was so exhausted
he found it necessary to get into still
water until he could rest few mo-
ments and it fell to the lot of Hicks
to hold the drowning boy above wa
ter. After a short rest, young Dodge
re-entered the current and together
the boys got their. comrade to the
shore where they stretched him.
The valuable training of the Boy
Scout in times of emergency was
then brought into use under direction
of Hicks, who never for moment
lost his head. For ten minutes all
first aids for respiration were used,
arms, legs and chest, and great was
the joy of the boys when little Ed
ward Madding showed signs of return
ing consciousness.
He was taken home to finish recoy-
ering from the shock and weakening

hours of rest seemed none the worse
for his narrow escape.
These boys belong to the well
known company g Boy Scouts which
are being so well trained under the
wise and efficient discipline of Rev.
L. E. NJ Hundley and if the day Of
awarding medals for real. unselfish
bravery has not passed, these lads
should be remembered.

made, has answered every request for
cooperative effort. and gone over the
top in every drive for funds to sup
port civilian war activities, so will
they continue till the end of the chan
ter.
1t is no time for partisan or denopl-
national prejudices or chickering's Or
petty fault findings.
The Republican leaders of the state
sounded the keynote when they an
nounced, politics is adjourned"
Denominationalism is the same IN
its relation to the world struggle. 1t
is no time for jeaIousies of creed or
religious dissension, and fortunately,
those things are very rare.
The nation is confronting a grand
campaign for the raising of funds for
tho conduct of war work activities in
which seven organizations Will pafti-
cipate. Seven is sacred number,
and 1t presages i'll for the Kaiser and
his hordes of barbarians
The campaign will win, just as the
campaign of Pershing for the Limited

arms, and another significance to US

invest 1897, in the Y. M. c. A., the
Y. w C. A, the Jewish Welfare
League, The knights of Columbus,
the War Camp Community Service,
the American Library Association,
and the Salvation Army,
Observe that the word invest" is
used, rather than give" For it is
an investment in the truest sen5e Of
the word and the returns that will
come from it will be much greater
than the few dollars that will come
back to us from our Liberty Loan
bonds and War Savings Stamps.
1t is wise plan to prevent duplicd-
non of effort and to reduce the heavy
drain of overhead expense. The cam
paign will not come until November
II Is, after the Liberty Loan drive is
over, and then all will feel more like
