dent Wilson
MAIN STUNTS JUNE 7
"Boy Scouts to the Rescue"
To Be Shown at The
Lyric Theatre.

Under proclamation of President
Wilson. June s to IA will be observed
as Boy Scout week for the purpose of
strengthening the organization thru
out the country. Acting upon this
proclamation Governor Davis has con
sented to head the movement in the
state of Idaho, and recently nominated
chairmen for the different counties to
assist him in the drive.
Scout Master Sheldon B. Stubbs, of
the local organization, now has four
patrols of eight scouts each, and there
are several applicants for membership
on the waiting list. In his opinion
there is sufficient timber for another
troop within the city, and some one
should volunteer their services to take
charge of it, The country districts and
surrounding towns should also be or
ganized. The presidents proclamation
deals directly with the reasons for the
perpetuation of this movement and of
its value to the nation. The training
is of the highest educational value
builds character and prepares for cit
izenship.
Sunday, Scout Master Stubbs and the
local citizens committee which is com
posed Of Geo. A. Smith, chairman, John
P. Eimers, s. V. Fullaway and NJ
Reese Hattabaugh., for various reasons
have decided that the best interests. of
the movement would be served by ad-
vancing the opening day to the 7th of
June, which is Saturday.
The local troop of Boy Scouts of
America is going to raise the sum of
$500 to defray the expense of pur-
chasing uniforms and the program now
