 'SThe policy of the war department has been to immediately notify the next of kin by telegraph of any mis- fortune befalling g. soldier, but the responsibility of notification extended also to the community, and this has been accomplished through the news paper press.
 ITO meet the duty of rapid mo- tifcation the casualty lists have been telegraphed each uay by the War De- partment to the postmasters of Chi cago and San Francisco, and those government officials, together with tas government printing offices at Washington, have published the lists which the press associations have furnished to all daily newspapers with the least possible lapse of time.
 The newspapers have rigid1y kept faith on release notices, thu insur- ing simultaneous publication. The United States government and tho newspapers have thus undou btedly established an unprecedented service in rapid and complete public ltion of the names, addresses anG classified misfortunes of soldiers at the front. The general efficiency and humanly kind cooperation of the American press in this matter deserves public appreciation.

 If the various forms of relief sug- gested by this Commissi T do not re- suit In saving the Street Railway companies from financial ruin and such & disaster should come about then the State would become a pre- ferrsd creditor in the event that the suggestion hereinbefore made is adopted and the considerable sums assessed against the companies for bridge construction would not be lost to the State.

 Another important feature of the plan is the merging with the Dairy Companys plant of the pasteurizing g plant owned by David Hebard and tho installation of MT Hebard as m.-nager of the enlarged establish ment. He has built up his present extensive business from small begin nings and made a steadily growing success of it while the affairs of the Farmers Dairy Go. have been going from bad to worse. He obtains his milk from the same territory as does the Dairy Co. often paving rates a tride in advance of his competitors. and always paying promptly. For this reason he now secures in this and other localities g. good part of the sup ply which formerly went to the Dairy Go. The fact that he is ready to cast his lot with the reborn enterprise and to take pay for his plant in it's pre- ferred stock will be 10 many a strong argument in favor of the reorEaniza- ton scheme. The amount of stock he is to receive in consideration of the merger is s35.000.

Making the Team

under the Local Council. Suppose
every Scout would make one con-
tribution every month"; More than
two. hundred articles each week! or
course we could never use them all,
but think how chesty the fellow
would feel whose article was pub
lished. One out of two hundred!
And wouldn't we have some real
stuff?
/ Why not apply the principle to
the Scout Page. Thirty-flve troops!
Do they all contribute? Not on
your life! Four or five troops keep
this page in existence. Suppose
thirty-five scribes each sent an ar
ticle every week and just suppose
that we pick out eight or nine of
them to use. Those eight or nine
would have to be good. They would
make the team. They would have
to be real, live stuff with n punch
that the general public would want
to read. Something that they would
look for each week.
Then suppose your friends asked
you why your troop did not get on
the page more often. Wouldn't you
go after your scribe. Now just sup
pose your scribe said, We'll, you
fellows do something worth while
putting in the news, and I'll get 1T
over. Then it's up to you. Make
your troop a live one. Don't always
wait for the scoutmaster to suggest
good turns, hikes, patrol meetings,
exhibits, demonstrations and camp
fires-use the brains with which you
were SO graciously endowed and
suggest something yourself. Your
scoutmaster is a busy man. He has
a hundred things to think about
every day of his life. Help him
out. If your troop is only half
hearted and half asleep part of the
fault is yours. Do things! Tell us
what you have done. Don't worry
about grammar or rhetoric, just
give us real spirit. That's better
than dry rhetoric and stiff compo-
sition.
A snappy Scout page, coupled
with the service you give to your
community will put Scouting on the
map in this city-not only with a
capital 49," but with capitals all the
way through and big exclamation
point on the end!

marvellous results in this countryI
Geo. H. Mayr, for many years d
prominent Chicago chemist, imports
the ingredients and sells this remedy
under the name of Mayr's Wonderful
Remedy. 1t is n simple, harmless
preparation that removes the catar-

causes practically all stomach, liver

appendicitis. One dose will con-

Fellows, as l write this, I am
thinking about two football teams;
one representing a school in a small
town and the other bearing the col
ors of a large city high school. In
the country school there were twen-
ty boys, five of whom could not be
placed on the team under any cir
cumstances. A team had to be
chosen from the other fifteen. Two
players on the eleven were eXcep-
tionally good; alost phepomenal
payers but their team never won a
game. They were never heard of
outside their own county. Why?
Well you see there were only fif-
teen men, several of them poor ma
terial. The left tackle position was
weak; right guard was another vul-
nerable spot and the back-field was
poorly balanced. Furthermore
player did not need to keep in con-
dition. He did not need to put his
best effort into the game. There
was no one to replace him so they
had to keep him on the team.
Now in the city high school there
were n hundred candidates for the
squad. Day after day they raced up
and down the field. tackled the
dummy, caught. punts, fell on the
Dali ana nned up IN ScflmmaSe. Al
ways there was the keen eye of the
head coach to pick out a flaw. One
by one the poorer candidates were
dropped. One by one the varsity
was picked. Then came the season!
They charged down the field,
under the kickoff like a troop of
Napoleon's cavalry; to go against
their line was like going against a
stone wall; they tore through the
opposing team like a knife through
paper. The game was against time
rather than against the other team.
for the only question was how often
they could cross the line in sixty
minutes. Along about the third
quarter the score-keeper ran out of
figures with which to chalk up the
score. They won a wide reputation
and were hailed as champions.
What was the great difference be-
tween the two teams? Was it not
largely due, in this case. to material
from which to select team? Sure
ly. Now fellows. let us apply that
same principle to the wigwam. There
are more than nine hundred Scouts
