Easily Repaid If You Live;
Instantly Cancelled If You Die

Few men can afford to carry additional
life insurance to protect the purchase Of
home; to guarantee payment Of the loan in
case of unexpected death. And if you do not,
you impose an unnecessary risk on your wife
and babies The Equitable Monthly Insur-
ance Loan provides for easy terms Of repay
ment, low interest rate and unique life pro-
lection that guarantees your wife or other
beneficiary an absolutely clear title to your
home without further payments, and refunds
automatically all payments made on the
principal, if you die at any time before the
loan is repaid.

SCOUT MASTERS ELECT
HEADS AND LAY PLANS.
Arrangements To Observe
Memorial And Flag Days
Are Made.

There was meeting Of the Scout
Masters association last evening, at
which Glenn c. Niles was elected presi-
dent. Perry Foster, viee-president, and
Hugh Walker secretary treasurer. There
are now eight scout masters included in
the association. Among other business
the tenderfoOt test was revised and
made ready for distribution to the
troops of the ETY.. Also plans were
made for the activities Of the boys on
Memorial day and also for the collection
of old flags for the final ceremony of
the "patriOtie fire. to be held on Flag
Day, June IA.
In this connection it should be noted
that President Wilson has issued proc.
lamation recommending that the week
preceding Flag day be observed as
Boy Scout Week. as a means of en-
eOuraging this organization. He sug-
gests that churches, schools. and all in
stitutions having TO do with boy aetivi-
ties cooperate in extending their WORK.
In one of his paragraphs he says:
"The Boy Scout movement should not
only be recognized but strengthened. 1t
deserves the support of all public spirit
ed citizens. The available means FOR
the Boy Scout movement have thus far
sufficed for the organization and the
training of only a small proportion of
the boys of the country. There Hlu ap-
proximately 100000 boys in the Uni
ted States, between the ages of 10 and
81. OF these only $4,000 are enrolled
as members of the Boy Scouts OF Amer
lea.
"The Boy Scouts of America have
rendered notable service TO the natioa
during the world war. They have con ?
effective work in the liberty loan aad
war savings campaigns. The Boy Scouts
have not only demonstrated their worth
to the nation, but have also materially
contributed to a deep appreciation by
the American people of the higher con-
ception of patriotism and gooo au4on-
ship.

CITY ATTORNEY MADE
DEFENDANT IN $1,000
SUIT FILED BY SKIES
B. ". Macy, Elmer Mangis
And Morris ". Welch Sued
For Damages As Result Of
Arnistice Day Incident.

"And caused the American flag to
be handed to plaintiff and eOmmsnuo.
the said plaintiff to kiss said flag"
With this statement included in his
complaint. James Sykes has brought
suit for $4,000 damages against B. W.
Macy, city attorney, Elmer Msngis and
Morris W. .Weleh.
In his esnplaint Mr.. Sykes alleges
that on November 7, 1918, defendants
violently assaulted and beat him anu
restrained his liberty and uttered vile
Language toward him; that they kick
ed, beSt and struck and abused him
and used language Sc as to attract a
mob of more than 100.
That he was marched by defendants
along State street two blocks to COM
mercial, north on Commercial to Cheme-
keta and thence back to State street
and thence west to Front street and
thence to the Spaulding Logging Co. 8
office. That he was then placed on a
post and the American flag was handed
to him and that he was commanded to
kiss the flag.
Mr.. Sykes also alleges that the mob
used vile language and angrily threat
ened him with death and that calls were
made to throw him in the river. That
the defendants pulled and twisted his
arms and that his legs were struck,
kicked and bruised.
He alleges that he has suffered great
ly in body and mind from which he has
not recovered and that he was injured
to the extent of $4,000. M. E. Pogue ap-
pears as attorney for Mr.. Sykes.
The incident occurred at the time the
city was going wild over the first an
nouneement of the armistiee, November
7, 1918. It seems that Mr.. Sykes had
not Joined in the parade of the employees
of the Spaulding Logging company and
that some one asked him why he had
not Joined in with the others.
His reply was such that il angered
number of men standing near the
Ladd & Bush bank Mr.. Sykes was
then marched up and down the streets
and taken to the Spaulding logging mill
where the incident about kissing the
flag occurred.
Mr.. Macy, one of the men sued for
$4,000, is inclined to regard the suit as
a Joke. He says that the part Of the
complaint Alleging facts showing injury
and damage are untrue. 1t is true, Mr..
Macy said, that Mr.. Sykes was marched
along the street and that he kissed the
flag and that he apologized for what he
said and done. The city attorney is in
clined to think the attorney for Mr..
Sykes is more to blame for the bringing
of the suit than Mr.. Sykes himself.
