Boy Scout News

The meeting Of the Scout execu-
tives Of the tri-cities was shifted to
the Davenport Commercial club
yesterday so that the executives
could hear the talk of the a. F f.
physical director. Scout Execu-
tive Allen of Davenport, Bracher
of Moline and the local executive
were present. Meetings Of the OK
ecutives will be held once each
month. The next meeting will be
held in Rock Island Nov. 13.
The Scouts of this city will have
an opportunity to win service bars
during the winter by passing exam
nations for the special service
corps which is to be organized
here. Boys wishing to become
members must pass an examina-
ton on building location showing
knowledge as to the street car sys-
TEN and have good knowledge Of
practical first aid. When a Scout
passes the examination he is en-
titled to bar showing that he is a
member. Additional bars may be
added by responding to calls for
service which may come up during
any time of the year. Examina-
lions will be given every three
months. It is hoped in this way
to have an efficient organization
ready to respond for local service
at any time.
The Boy Scout statue given to
the troop which made the best
showing at the summer camp has
been awarded to troop No. 6 after
careful consideration. Troop No.
1B. which also made a splendid
showing at camp, were the nearest
competitors. Troop No. 6 not only
had the largest representation in
camp of any Rock Island troop. but
also made the biggest advance
ment in scouting. Three boys from
this troop also won special medals
during the camp. Medals for first
place in photography was awarded

sons operating cars that the use
of glaring and binding electric
lights are strictly prohibited, yet
this law is openly violated every
night in this City and on the
country roads. Several accidents
some quite serious have resulted
in consequence. The most annoy
ing and persistent violators are
those using ''spot-lights" when
meeting other vehicles on the
roads. Some make use of these
lights to satisfy a vagrant curio-
sity to see the faces of those they
are meeting, and many more like
the users of Fords, whose head
lights are weak get a brighter
and more glaring light for driv~
ing on the roads and streets by
concentrating all their electric
current into a glaring "spot-
light" The only legitimate use
that can be made of a spot
light" is to read highway signs
and identify landmarks and
dangerous places at the sides of
the roads. A gentleman will sot
use them for any other purpose
and endanger life and limb of
those he meets, and all others
should be prosecuted to the limit
of the law, and the licenses of the
autos they are running should be
revoked instanter.

DIR. e. e. Violet delivered the
lecture in the evening, ''The Sun
set Trail" being the title of his
masterpiece. DIR. Violette was
with us last year and delivered a
wonderful address that made 'em
all sit up and take notice and Sis
seton heartily welcomed him
back. His deeply thought lecture
was filled with choicest illustra-
tions and he revealed to his audi
ence, in a most forceful manner,
conditions as they have been, ,Sas
they are, and should be. He paid
great tribute to the soldiers and
the great men of history.
The program of Tuesday, the
last day, was without doubt the
best ever given in Sisseton. The
White Hussars Singing Band is
composed of nine men, all finish
ed musicians who have worked
together for years. 1t is impos-
sible to indicate in this article
the merits of each. In addition to
their excellent performance they
made fine impression upon the
audience thru their general at
titude on the stage. The audience
was kept in gale of laughter
from start to finish.
The lecture in the afternoon
was given by Miss Elizabeth
M. Hunt an American Red Cross
nurse who has just been released
from the Army Nurse Corps,
She dwelt chiefly on aids to bet.
ter health. 1t was interesting to
say the least and especially ap-
pealed to the Red Cross ladies.
Another who has really added
something to the pleasure of the
programs was the excellent plat
form manager, j. w. Miller. He
is a pleasant man to meet, a very
fluent and ready speaker and has
another faculty that endorses
him as a good platform manager
in that he has the good judgment
to make his announcements
short and right to the point
Here's hoping he may return to
us in 1920, for Sisseton has sign
ed up for another year with the
White and Myer Company.

Sixty persons were killed and

along the principal business
street of the city, damaging
every building along the street.
The storm then went south, tax
ing the County court house, jail

east thru a residence section
and into the country where it
caught the flyer on the Great
Northern railroad throwing four
cars off the track and injuring
several persons. All communica-

side world was cut off and the
first news of the storm was re-
ported at Wendell ten miles

the country were sent there at
once and the city is under martial

Land in Big Demand

No matter where on travels
these days the main subject Of
conversation is land. Never be-
fore in the history of the state
has there been such activity in
land transfers as has been evi-
denced this year.
While there has been consider
able lands transferred in Roberts
County, there has been no boom
such as has been evidenced in the
southern part of the state and
in Iowa and Minnesota, but the
boom is gradually working north
ward.
The question naturally rises,
What is the land worth in Rob.
erts County? And in answering
this question we would say
Land in Roberts County is worth
as much as land in any other
state, improvements considered.
Lands in Roberts County will
reach the level in price of lands
sold in other parts of this state
and elsewhere within very
short time. Roberts County is
recognized by everyone who has
visited the County as being the
Garden Spot of the state. The
magnificent buildings and i'm
provements ON Roberts County
farms is evidence that the COM
munity is prosperous and that
our soil is equal to that of any
other state in the union. For
more than 25 years, Roberts
County has never had what could
be called a total failure. It is
true that some years our grain
has not yielded as much as we
felt it should, never the less feed
for stock has never failed us
and the farmers who have been
engaged in diversified farming
have accumulated considerable
wealth. Why then has not Rob-
erts County land sold for as high
a price as lands further south?
For the simple reason that the
main railway through Roberts
County is abranch and outsiders
have not known much about
Roberts County and it's prosper
ity. No organizations, have
doomed this County, such rs on
the main lines of the railway.
But the people of this County
are just awakening to the fact
that Roberts County is equal to
any county in the state and in
ferior to none, and that there is
no real reason why lands in
Roberts county should sell for
less than $1OO.OO-per acre when
lands in the southern part Of
the state, and in Iowa and Min
nesota, just across the South
Dakota line, are selling for $19O
to $500 per acre. These lands are
getting so high that the trend
of immigration is constantly
northward. And we believe thai
within the next two months we
will see lands in Roberts County
selling around the 5000 per acre
mark. Lands in Grant County,
the county just south of us, are
already selling as high as $3.50
per acre.
