TROOP TWENTY
Is VERY ACTIVE
New System of Monthly Merit
Awards Announced at
Last Meeting

Last Friday the Troop held its reg
of monthly merit awards was an
nounced. Beginning Friday. Febru-
ary Z, dues to the amount of five
cents a week will be charged. The
Scout gaining the most merits in the
month will be awarded the black
bar pin. The Scout standing second
in rank will be awarded the yellow
bar pin, and the third ranking Scout
will be entitled to wear the blue bar
pin. Any Scout having possession of
the black bar pin for two successive
months will be awarded the 100 per
cent. efficiency gold pin. This he will
retain for six months provided his
average demerits for the following
months do not exceed the number
of demerits he had when he was
awarded the pin. While in possess
sion of this pin he will be exempt
from dues. Tonight there will be Il
meeting at O'Clock. Signaling will
be held Friday, February a. All
scouts must be at least Second Class
Scouts by June the fourth. This is
the troops anniversary day.
Mr.. Chas. McKibbin, former res
ident of this city, now living in
Montana was the guest of our Scouts
Friday, January II, He is in the
u. S. Forestry Service, located on
the Deerlodge Forest Reserve. He
explained the duties and responsible
tiles of forester to the troop. He
also described the country in detail
and the different forest fires which
have to be fought. Just as an in
stance of the size of the Reserve /
will tell you that the Deerlodge Re
serve comprises several million acres
and this Mr. McKibbin considers
small forest!
One kind of fire which the forest
er explained was the Grown Fire.
This fire is in the tops of the trees,
and when once started cannot be
stopped. Such fires travel with eN-
press train. speed, 'and he stated that
he knew in one instance of a crown
fire leaping valley without setting
fire to the valley itself.
The foresters live with their fam
lilies in real log cabins and travel by
trails only. The fire spoilers have
solitary huts on high peaks which
overlook the forests. Here they
must live for two weeks without see
ing a human being until the supply
man brings the groceries and pro-
visions. These must be carried up
on foot as horses cannot keep to
the steep trails. The spoilers are all
connected by phone TO O central sta
ton where fires are reported and
records made, on a large chart of
the forest. ~E{.(
This chart is marked off in squares
and each enc has a number. When
the, spotter reports fire in a certain
area this is marked, and by this
means they can determine very ac-
curately the range of the fire. When
asked if it got very cold in Mon
tana, Mr.. .McKibbin said, Not very.
1t was. only 25 degrees below zero
when I left in December"
We intended to arrange for a
union meeting with several troops
to share Mr.. McKibbin's talk, but
because of the short notice we re-
ceived this was impossible. How
ever, when he comes east again, we
will try to have him talk to all the
troops at a big, union meeting. Just
now it's all out for the banquet.

OLEO LICENSE
SHOULD STAND
Commissioner Foust Declares
That Any Reduction Would
Mean Trouble

State Dairy and Food Commits
sioner James Foust Is opposing any
change in the oleomargerine license
law, especially in reduction of the
license fees, such as is proposed by
some bills presented to the Legisla-
ture and which are understood 10 be
in prospect.
The commissioner has issued
seven reasons why the state should
not make any change in "oleo"
laws. one being that the Pennsyl-
vania law on the subject is the best
of any state and that there is more
of the product sold in Pennsylvania
than in any other state. IF the
license fee is eliminated crooks and
irresponsible. people will engage in
the 'oleo' business, says he.I Moon
shining will start in cellars and
other .unsanitary places by unsani-
tary people coloring the product and
selling it for butter and at butter
prices"
The commissioner says oleomar-
gerine has been sold for twelve
years and is now recognized as a
wholesome article of food, but it is
not butter. He contends that it
should make its own market and sell
at its own price. Now, he says, it's
price Is regulated Dy the price OF
butter and in Philipsburg, N. j., it
sells for the same as in Easton, Pa,
although New Jersey has no license
and Pennsylvania has such a system.
The law is now working admir-
ably, he contends, and there are
practically no prosecutions and the
consumption of the product in a de-
gree greater than in any other state
under such conditions, he says is an
argument for letting the law stand.
The license does not amount to one
eighth of cent pound now, he re-
marks and there are 800 licenses
in, Philadelphia alone and every
town has licensed places.
