BOY SCOUTS AND MlLITARISM

BY many the boy scouts are looked
lpon as soldiers in the making. If
~ making soldiers Is meant training
,oys for intelligent public service,
.ultivating, character, self-reliance,
mutual helpfulness, and the capacity
% achieve success In the field of chos-
IN endeavor, then the boy scout
movement may properly be regar4sd
Is military. If by making soldiers Is
meant cultivating a spirit of pug
aacity and the glorification Of war,
then the boy scout movement is nom
military. These elements are not
found in it.
Only gradually does 1t become clear
~ evident to the public at large that
both professionally and in practice
The organization of the Boy Scouts of
America is, always has been, and, in
so far as one can predict, always will
be first of all peace organization.
peace scouting for character and
citizenship" has always been Its plat
form.
But why is this position not vet
wholly free from confusion In the
public mind? Many still believe, in
spite Of what has been publicly said
and written and In spite Of the most
substantial proof to the contrary in
the conduct of the leaders and the
boys, that the movement trains boys
for war.
The term scouting" while perhaps
more frequently employed in connec-
ton with military maneuvers and war
operations, has peaceful uses. Not i'm
properly, we think of scout as one
disciplined to hard work-watchful,
self-reliant, observant, straightfor-
ward, unselfish, and pleasant in his
dealings with others-in short, very
ccmpanionable, alert, and helpful fell
low.

WHAT THE SCOUTS DO.

Boy scouts In Louisville, KY, are
working for cleaner city. These
boys were detailed to distribute $4,000
circulars explaining provisions of the
ordinance providing for the separa
ton of garbage.
Boy Scouts in Hamilton, Ohio, start
ed out on an inspection tour of thu
city, visiting yards of the homes il
the interest of the cleanup and paint
up campaign. Pictures of yards in bat
condition or full of rubbish will b.
taken BIZ the scouts.

HOW SCOUTS AIDED POLICE.

That boys, when they are scouts,
can be of great value to the police
force is attested in this letter from
Chief of Police O'Shaughnessy of Mo-
bile, Ala, to the scout head there:
my Dear Sir: / feel much hOnored
for the gallant service you and your
boy scouts have rendered me and this
department. The highest commenda.
ton 1 should speak would be very
humble, for I really cannot put into
words what I feel about the organi-
cation.
"Had it not been for their assistance
I doubt If the crowds and traffic would
have been handled so magnificently."

SCOUTS TEACH REsUsciTATioN

A picked troop of 50 boy scouts from
the 80 troops comprising Fort Orange
scout council at Albany, N. Y, visited
the police precincts and the fire de-
partment stations to demonstrate the
Schaefer method of resuscitation
which has been successfully used by
the scouts for nine years.
During that time scouts throughout
the country have saved the lives OF
many persons, and members of each
council in America have been asked
by the American Red Cross to take the
matter up locally with the city authori
ties.

TRAIN WRECKED

On Wednesday morning the North.
western passenger train, No. SIG, went
into the ditch near Springfield, MINI.
The baggage car, smoker and day
coach were upset and two Pullmans
were derailed but did not tip over.
The list Of injured was not available
at the local depot up to a late hour
yesterday, but all the passengers in
the smoker and day coach were badly
shaken up, one of them being inter.
nally injured to such an extent that
his recovery is doubtful and the bag
gageman suffered fractured skull and
his condition is reported serious. The
injured were taken to Tracy, Sanborn
and Springfield on special trains. No
arms or legs were broken, however.
The cause Of the wreck was thought
to be broken rail and the accident
occurred on a down grade just outside
Of Springfield. Several local people
were on the trains and as far as could
be ascertained none of them suffered
any more than a bad shaking up.
Miss Esther Osborne, the soprano, was
on the train. but telegram was re-
ceived by her friends here stating that
she was not injured.

-Germany's View.

Production Of bituminous coal today
rapidly approached normal Through
out the country reports indicated from
80 to 95 per cent of the miners at
work. In only few instances were
locals reported as still idle, waiting
for further adjustment of wages.
Virtually all restrictions on use OF
fuel made necessary by the 44-day
strike had been relaxed today. While
other cities resumed normal business
hours and factories began full time
work instead of the 3-day week caused
by the coal shortage. Spokane, Wash,
and Boise, Idaho, found 1t necessary,
however, to maintain the fuel saving
orders. Spokane went on 6-hour bus
mess day with no immediate prospect
of relief.
Zero weather with resultant inter
reference with railroad traffic and op-
Grafton of Canadian mines that sup.
piled that section, was the cause
ascribed by the fuel shortage. Storms
in the mountains delayed the replen-
ishment of the Boise coal supply.
Severely cold weather. moderating
however, still prevailed over most of

SOME WEATHER FACTS

1t is a well-known and demonstrable
fact that the annual mean tempera-
ture of any particular portion of any
country varies but very few degrees
one year with another. For instance,
by taking a certain number of observa-
tions each day throughout the year
and dividing the sum Of these readings
by the whole number of observations,
we arrive at the annual mean tempera-
ture of any one place. The annua!
mean temperature for the whole of
South Dakota for fifteen-year period,
ending Dec. 81, 1918, averaged 44.60 F.
The highest in the period was 46.40
in 1910 and the lowest 41.80 in 1917.
We can we'll remember the results, a
hot summer in 1910 ard a cold spring
in 1907, both disappointing as to crop
production. 1t does not make much
difference where one commences in
making up the mean temperature for
the year, for the result is the same.
We do not have the mean for this
DtCeUlDtI, lOl II 10 ohiy uoiA SohC'
The last twelve months, beginning
with Dec. 1, 1918, and ending Nov.

45.40, or only 8 above normal. This
may account for our cold October, TO-
below and November, go below to
make up for the mildness Of last win.
ter and an average summer. What
the rest OF this month and January
and February has in store for us no
one can guess. II we have an un-
usually cold winter in the way 1t has
started out, we may be certain OF
very warm summer to even things
up the coming twelve months. What.
ever happens we shall have to make
the best Of 1t. An old weather-wise
farmer says: "If we have no winter.
we have no summer"

PROFITEERlNG

In an interview with H. I. Stearns,
who spent week at Aberdeen as
Federal juror, he informs US that the
grand jury took up several cases Of
profiteering that had been reported
upon by the commission on fair
price" investigation which is holding
sessions In the state. Some forty more
or less fragrant cases OF profteering
were cited and that many of these re-
ceived the attention of the grand jury.
Five indictments were returned
against Aberdeen restaurants, includ-
ing practically all of the eating places
in the city, charging the making of
unjust and unreasonable charges in
dealing with the necessities OF life."
A special committee of the jury visited
the restaurants, ordered and agreed
upon meat order and found that the
prices for identical orders ranged from
SIS cents to one dollar per person.
They considered that the spread was
too much for the service rendered.
These Investigations may have some
effect on the practices of making ex-
orbitant charges for ordinary meals.
