SCOUTS LARGEST WORLD Body.

u h NJ
Do people generally know that the
Boy Scouts Of America is the greatest
single volunteer organization In the
world7 It was the largest organization
taking part In the two campaigns for
the Liberty loan. There are millions
OF scouts all over the world, IN every:
country. Is
Since America went to war the
things that have happened to the Boy
Scouts Of America and the part that
boy scouts all over the globe have
been called upon to play In pressing
forward the activities that win win
this war have made an epoch in the
boy life Of this land and Of the world.
War conditions demand an Increase
In numbers and efficiency. There
should be 100000 Boy Scouts Of
America In the country. There would
be that, number II men who may NOT 70
to the front would undertake at home
this work Of practical patriotism. The
boys who are not yet scouts are Just
ne anxious to serve the nation - the
boy scouts who are. \
The president of the United States
has given scouting = definite place In
the national affairs. u.s. 3

When the west half of the state be-
came drouth stricken and in serious
predicament, the new Bank Of North
Dakota was appealed to for financial
assistance. In cold, hard facts back
came the answer of Director General
Cathro: The bank can't meet the sit
uation Banks in the drouth-stricken
areas are requested to hang onto
their eastern correspondents 80 that
they may secure from them the need
ed financial help. Back in May, King
Townley spoke in Linton. And the
burden of his tale was as follows:
"Why allow thousands of dollars of
North Dakota money to go to Twin
Cities banks as reserve to buy auto
mobiles for the rich bankers? Why
not keep that money in North Dakota
in the new state bank whore farmers
can get all the money they want at
- Az per cent?"
That is what he said in his cam
paign speeches, and that is what
made the Bank bill draw larger ma
jority than even the Industrial Com
mission in charge of the bank.
Gall the money you want from the
Bank of North Dakota" Fine. But
Director General Cathro can't cut the
mustard, to use slang expression.
Townley could paint pretty pictures
faster than his lieutenants could de-
liver the goods.
"The more haste. the less speed"
We are doomed to find that out by
bitter experience.

]. E. CARPENTER, PIONEER
ZIMMERMAN. PASSES AWAY

Judson E. Carpenter, 85 years old
pioneer lumberman and railroad build
er of the northwest, died yesterday at
Pasadena, Calf, after brief illness.
Mr.. Carpenter had been enjoying good
health until seized suddenly with sinl,
ing spells from which he did not
rally.
For more than so years, Mr.. Car
penter played conspicuous part in
the business life and development of
the northwest. During that time he
worked with practically the same
business associates.
Born in Shenango county, New
York, in May, 1885, he was educated
at Oxford academy. In 1854 he came
west and was married at Rochelle,
ILL.,, in 1860 to Miss Olivia Detwailer.
In 1868 he moved to Clinton, Iowa,
where he engaged in business.
Mr.. Carpenter retired from active
business in 1905, although he contin-
ued to retain some of his business in
terests here. Shortly afterwards he
moved to Pasadena, where he took up
his permanent residence.
Mr.. Carpenter was always interest
ed in palitical and civic organizations.
He gave literally of his time and
money to various public enterprises.
Mr.. Carpenter was an active member
of the Westminster Presbyterian
church and was 32d degree Mason.
He is survived by four sons, Ebert
L., Eugene j., and Frederick II. Car
penter of Minneapolis; S. G. Carpen-
ter of New York, and a daughter, Mrs.
William D. Murphy of Pasadena.
Frederick H. Carpenter is presiden
of the local Carpenter Lumber Co.

Many of the second thought mea-

The labor vote has been captured
by an eight hour law for some Of the
women. and the compensation act for
the business man. Exhorbitant finan-
cial demands are being made on
Little Business" Small, struggling
business institutions in the North l)a-
kota towns are, being hit and hit
hard. Contractors, stores, dray lines.
etc., are being hit for hundreds Of
dollars. Soma are paying, and some
are refusing to do so.
Every man who uses gallon Of oil
or gasoline is contributing his tar to
the state. The tax-levy game is GO

ton and other forms of tax ar. soon
to be administered in copious doses.
One Ignite coal concern in the state
has been tapped for more than TWEEN
ty Thousand dollars for the compen-
sation tax and the concern is forced
to Increase it's price of Ignite to the
point where it can hardly compete
with Montana and Wyoming coal that
is not so taxed. A fax-straw project
for Bismarck is hanging in the bal
ance while awaiting the outcome of
he compensation tax. The manager
of the concern states that if thu tax
holds, he doesn't. Instead he will
migrate to more congenial surround
ings. q
And it is we'll to remember that
while the main burden Of these many
new governmental hobbies falls on
the business-Little Business, as it
vere,-within the state, the farmers
are not entirely exempt.
Exhorbitant taxes loaded onto bust
ness concerns boost the prices of
commodities. and are passed on to us
all, Unfortunately.
In the meantime, the state payroll
increases by leaps and bounds. And
the end is not yet.
No wonder that some Of those who
believed in and supported Mr.. Town
ley SO ardently ara scratching thei
heads and wondering where the end
will be.

SCOUTS KEEN on WAR WORK

s A notable feature Of scouting In 1917
was the pronounced recosnltion OF the
organization N an aid to the govern
ment in the conduct Of the war.
Before the war. q boys greatest
ambition was to be quarterback ON tho
football team or pitcher on the base
ball team or captain OF the athletic
team" saih Chief Scout Executive
James e. West.
To-day, 295. 76S Of the huskiest boys
In America find plenty Of excitement
and satisfaction In being just scouts.
This is because playing games 10 q
side issue In wartime, and scouting II
q real job. &
NWhen men are marching away to
battle for liberty, real boys are not
satisfied to play. When bridges. manu-
featuring plants, public works in every
town and city are In danger from for
eign foes. genuine fellows want to do
their share in protecting their homes.
"With starvation destroying our
friends overseas and want threatening
In America. an American boy who IL
the real thing wants to get his exer-
else by producing food.
1.-THE Boy Scouts Of America are
happy because Uncle Sum did not pass
them by when he rolled mp his sleeves
and began to gather his forces. The
department Of agriculture said, we
need YOU and In month thousands
Of scout gardens were growing. The
treasury department said, We wnnt
your help and in two Liberty loan
campaigns the scouts gathered more
than $125. O00. OOQ which had been over

said, I'd be glad Of your assistance
and a third Of a million scout homes
cut down on wheat, meat, sugar and
fats and began to spread the doctrine
Of food conservation. They are also
government dispatch bearers for the

therefore makes stronger impression
but La Refine Fiammette, especially
in its earlier scenes. has much atmos-
pheric music and some which gives the
singers good opportunities.
Miss Farrar. who bears the burden OF
the principal part. was in much better
voice than she was at the previous per-
Torrance and consequently was able TO
sing with far more volume OF tone and
spontaneity. She gave the part larger
dramatic value, and in the more rigor-
Gus climaxes aroused the audience to
enthusiasm.
Mr.. Lazaro az Ddnielo, the apostate
monk who forswears his vows for the
Queens love, continued to address his
audience, but he sang the lyric passages

SEEK SLAYER OF 3
CHINAMEN IN N. Y.
New Arrest in Washington
Mystery Made Here-Check
Gives Clue.

The furnished rooming house at 3l3
West 18th street yielded another pris-
oner yesterday to the New York and
Washington detectives who are investi.
eating the murders OF DR.. 7. T. Wong
chief OF the Chinese Educational Mission
TO the United states. and two Chinese
students who attended George Washing
ton University.
D. S. Wan, young Chinese. was APP
preached at the house Saturday by de-
tectives. He waived his rights and was
taken 10 Washington. He said he was
sorry he could not help the detectives
but he knew nothing about the murders
The bodies OF the three men were found
Friday night in the house in which they
lived in the Mount Pleasant section OF
Washington. They had been killed by
bullets from a revolver which was left
In the house. The men were last seen
alive on Tuesday.
Detective Kelly OF the Washington
Police Department came here yesterday
with two employees of a bank where a
check signed by DR.. Wong was cashed
on Wednesday. with several detectives
Kelly went to the roomins house in West
1l2th street. There they had a talk
with W. s. Van. 20. n Chinaman who
shared room with Wan. When the
bank employees saw Van they told Kelly
he looked like the man who presented
Or. Wons's check. although they were
not sure about II.
Van. an intelligent example OF the
young Chinese who adapt themselves
TO Occidental Gust '~s consented TO 90
to Washington. He sid he was a chem
list and had been employed at the French
Laboratories in this city and In a NUM-
tons plant in Ohio
When Wan was taken away the only
explanation given by the police wal
that he had been in Washington during
the time the murders are believed to
have been committed. After Van had
been taken away detectives searched the
room. They found nothing incriminat-
ing. they said.
Robbery is believed TO have been the
motive for the murders. The appear
ance % the men from the Washington
bank here indicates that the police have
discarded the theory that the murders
were due TO political feud.
