BOY SCOUTS

Last Saturday morning the
Boy Scouts of Wahpeton were up
bright and early 10 see how the
weather man was behaving. Tn"
day was found not to BE- the very
hest for hike. but ii scout is al
ways prepared to meet all man
ncls and kinds of conditions, so
just before the time set to start
the hike, the scouts came scamper-
ing from all parts Of the city to
meet at the home of II. W. Rife,
the scoutmaster to finish prepare
tons for the trip which was over
a course of Is miles into the Alb
ercrombie country. Promptly at
Gals a. IN. the signal was given
and the start for Abercrombie be-
gan.
Quite gale was blowing from
the west and after travelling a
few miles into the country, a
light snow began to fall which i'll
creased as the iads continued.
Woodland was reached at l.
o clock and here it happened that
first aid had to be given to two of
the scouts who had their fingers
Eipped slightly by Jack Frost,
and another lad received a slight
cut on one of his hands. They
stopped at Woodland about an
hour for lunch and rest. then
the hike was continued and no
time was lost OIL the second lap,
the scouts forging ahead just like
Sioux Indians would have done.
Abercrombie was reached at i :Ou
p. IN. and after a few minutes res,
and little scouting around that
progressive little village, tina,
scouts spent several hours in prac.
ticing the Semophone signal code
While in Abercrombie a group oil
lads of scout age gathered around
the Wahpeton clan, and words OF
encouragement We're given to the
boys to organize troupe and Wis
it Wahpeton sometime during tn.
summer.
The boys returned home OH tn.
Milwaukee passenger train at 5 :Ot
p. m. and all had fine time.

MELVIN c. OLSON WRITES HIS
FOLKS At ABERCROMB|E

On Active Service with AmerI-
can Expeditionary Forces.
Winchester, England.
Dec. 30, 1917.
Dear Folks:
do not know how often these
letters will reach you but / Wi
write as often as long as | have
the chance. We do not know how
long we will be here. There is no
news to write about as we stay
right in camp all of the time.
One day we went to town and
through an old church built in the
10th Century. 1t was massive
affair. There We're big tombs in
side where Kings were buried. [
will have to wait and tell you
the rest when l get home. | could
tell you SO many things but you
know | cannot.
The weather here is nearly a.-
ways cloudy and damp. The
reason | write on only one page
is that if anything is cut out it
will not spoil what is on the other
side.
If you don't hear from me
a while it will BIZ because some
mail ship has been sunk.
The English are great on
cheese and we certainly have
plenty. For supper we have
cheese instead OF meat. We eat
it like bread. The coffee is good,
too. The bread is OF the rough
wheat, but it is very nourishing.
We never see sugar, and kero
sene is very scarce, too.
Over here everyone turns to the
left on a road and the soldiers
that belong here salute with their
left hand.
Be sure and let me know if you
got all that l sent home.
l am feeling good. All of us
are. We all have feeling that
We will be home soon.
Goodbye,
Melvin

ASKED TO AID TO
CUT DOWN THE COST

Adjutant General Frazier IS
mailing to all local boards a copy
of Provost Marshal General Crow
dcrs message advising that the rate
OF compensation FOR members of
local boards up to and including
the completion Of the final classi-
fication of registrants within the
jurisdiction OF such boards shalt
be on the basis of 30 cents per cap
ita. This money will be paid in
proportionate amounts to each
member of the local board, unless
the latter by unanimous vote shall
request the payment in some other
proportion. In any case, no one
member of the board shall receivs.
more than Is cents out Of the al
]owance Of 30 cents for each clasSi-
fication, and no two members shall
receive more than Is cents.
In plea for economy, General
Crowder says: 1T is necessary
that not only this Office but every
person connected with the admins
tration Of the seicctivc service law
shall be conservative in the expene'
itures of public funds. The nation
is at war. Personal Sacrifices are be-
ing made on every hand. The sold
