 No word has been received, stated Marshal Tanner, from the parents ot James Collins. who were appraised of his death by wire.

When Court convened in the afternoon it was disclosed that the defendant had made good use of the recess, purchasing s2,000 worth of Liberty Bonds, and purchasing s100 Red Cross memberships for both him. self and his wife.

 We have been reliably informed that the U. S Boy Scout organization has paid commissions ranging from 90 per cent to 70 per cent. for finan. eia1 selic' tioa. Just at present they are engafsed in a campaign to under mine the strength and success of the Boy Scouts of America.
 "As much as we regret to write ir this way, we feel duty bound to have these facts brought efficiaRy to yesl attention in order that you and those in your offices may be fully warned and at the same time informed abcut tf1e earnest efforts of the Boy Scouts Of America to help win tls war and its standing with the United States gov. ernufent,"
