WHO'S WHO IN SCOUTING

No. g. Veteran Scout Jack Cooper
was born in Owenton on Christmas
Day, 1901, which latter item indicates
why he is such a municipal Christmas
enthusiast Scout Cooper ranks Al
az an American and as a scout. After
attending high school for time he
entered the field of business as soda
jerker," but as soon as the war started
decided that scout should not spend
his energies that way in war time, and
shifted to the T. c. J., where he may
be found. He has beautiful brown eyes
that can charm anything from a girl
to a rattlesnake. He is the senior pa
troll leader and general manager OF
Troop 20 of Ensley. He is also drum
major of the drug corps and when he
gets himself all cinched up and on
parade his lines would make Annette
Kellerman turn green with envy. lie
has 10 merit badges and expects to
soon be ready for Troop No. /, which
is limited to star scouts. Jack is a
real scout. May his tribe increase.
