HOW HE KILLED THE DUTCHMAN

A beautiful French girl visiting in
one of the hospitals was passing
among the wounded, and noticed a
young American boy who seemed to
be severely hurt. Walking over to
him, she asked how he was wounded.
Soldier-"In hand combat with
German
Girl-"And did you kill him?"
Soldier-"Yes"
Girl-"What WITH"
Soldier-With this" holding out
his arm, with clenched fist, which the
girl smothered with kisses for his
valor.
After the girl had left, one of his
comrades close by raised up and
said: 'You fool, why didn't you tell
her you bit him to death?"

According to the proclamation IS
sued by President Wilson, the week
beginning Sunday, June 9Th and end
ing with Flag Day, June 14th, is to
be observed throughout the country
as boy Scout Week" The, object of
setting aside this week is for the pur-
pose of a campaign to increase the
membership of the Boy Scouts. The
campaign will be nation wide and
will endeavor to gain one million new
members for the organization Not
only will the boys themselves be
sought as members, but also the par
ents of the boys and other individuals
interested in their welfare.
What does my boy do in his spare
time? That is the question every faith
er should ask himself. Is he fitting
himself to be a useful citizen? Does
he have the proper recreation? Does
he have the proper companions? Is
he atrong and healthy? The Boy
Scout Order answers all these ques-
tions and more besides. Every boy
should be a scout The slogan of the
order is "Be Prepared" Now, what
does this mean? 1t means this The
boy is fitted in every way to be a
MAN. He learns useful things about
nature, how to cook, first aid to the
injured, courtesy and respect for his
elders, how to choose the proper COM
pany, how to know right from wrong,
and many other things. He is taught
to love and to serve his country, its
lSsvs and its principles. He learns to
be upright, reliable, honest, God-fear-
ing, and self-reliant. In short, he is
fitted to fight life's great struggle.
What more could a parent desire?

GET BEHIND THE BOY SCOUTS
THEY DESERVE ALL YOUR AID

1t is the duty of every father to
urge his boy to join and to- interest
himself in the welfare of his boy and
the Boy Scouts The Boy Scout is
never found on street corners, jeering
the aged and feeble 1t is the Boy
Scout who helps them. The Boy
Scout is never found in the slun1s and
the dives learning to be evil He
shuns evil He abhors evil. Give us
your boy and we will give you man
in return" This is the principle on
which the scout master works.
During the week, every effort will
be expended to gain new members. The
Boy Scout doctrine will be preached
from the pulpits throughout the coun-
try, the newspapers will give it pub
licity, and the Scouts themselves will
approach you. Anyone can become
an associate member of the organiza-
tion. To join the National Council of
the Boy Scouts Of America, write out
a check, made payable to Geo. d.
Pratt, treasurer, for one dollar. This
amount is little enough for parents to
an organization which in return does
so much for their boys.
Prominent men are behind the Boy
Scout movement. William G. McAdoo
is chairman Of the campaign commit
tee. Serving with him are men like
William H. Taft, Mortimer L. Schiff
Charles M. SchWab. Theodore Roose-

COURT NOTES

On May %, Jose Mora, aged about
sixteen years, attempted to stab Hay
wood Womack, about the same age,
with a butcher knife 1t must have
been that Jose had been reading about
bad men and brigands and outlaws in
general. Fired by the spirited litera-
ture of the dime noval, he resolved to
go out and stage little stabbing show
on his own hook So, going into the
kitchen, he borrowed one of the fam
lily knives and went out for blood.
Fortunately, the youngster was appre=
hended before anything more serious
than the brandishing of the meat
carver had been done.N He was sent
to Florence, where his case will come
before Judge Baughn in the juvenile
court.

a dirk. He will spend sixty days on
the county rock pile, regretting that
he happened to have weapon in his
possession. The Copper Camp wishes
to impress on it's readers again the
utter futility of carrying concealed
weapons Ray and vicinity, thanks to
the adequate protection afforded, is
not infested with desperadoes and
brigands. 1t is not necessary to pack
gun or knife and try to be brave.
When one does conceal a weapon, he
is violating the law and will only
come to grief. The authorities have
made up their minds that this practice
must be stopped and offenders will
be punished as severely as the stat
utes provide.

MISS CUNNINGHAM IS
SUPERINTENDENT OF
RAY CONS HOSPITAL

After an absence of about four
years, Miss Josephine Cunningham
returns to Ray as superintendent OF
the hospital! During her four years
absence, Miss Cunningham has had
many adventures. For over twenty
three months she saw active service
in France as a Red Cross nurse. Part
of this time was spent on the lighting
front and the remainder in the base
hospitals. Miss Cunningham has seen
vividly all the horrors of war. For
hours at a stretch she has been under
heavy shell fire, has witnessed night
bombing raids, and other greusome
events. All too well does she remem-
Der the effects of gas and high eXplo-
sive shells and shrapnel. For a time
Miss Cunningham was chief of the
operating room of Colonel Grille, the
noted army surgeon. All of her
friends welcome her back to Ray and
particularly the hospital department,
where her efficient work of four years
ago can still be remembered.

But Mac has it infinitely worse. He
is obsessed with an idea that some

certain well-known car with black

by the engineering department, Mac
was heard to remark: "My God! fel-

of this mechanical goat may prove to
be of some advantage, for rumor has
it that Mac is knocking for admission

tice with some artificial device may
help alleviate the pangs of suffering

the successful application of these
methods to backward students. He
further told of the hearty co-opera-
ton that the schools were receiving

the teachers also must be given hearty
congratulations for their work in

shapes in mesheS-square, diamond
shaped, heXagonal and oblong, with,
all sorts of inconspicuous crossbars
and figures to add interest to them.
Street wells have light woven-in Dor
ders and they are worn either hanging
free or fastened about the neck. after
the manner of the three wells shown
in the picture.
Wells should be tried on and Sc
lected for becomingness, as hat shapes
are. Some meshes make the face look
more youthful and others seem to re-
veal wrinkles. For clearing up the
skin and bringing out color dark blue

fective. Taupe and black find more
| admirers than any other colors.
There are some smaIl face wells only
large enough to extend from hat brim
to chin, and they are made to be
pinned or to be slipped on and held
in place with small, round elastic cord.
The floating wells shown at the right
and bottom of the group are knOtted
in at the back sometimes as in the
hat shown at the upper left side.
These are popular styles. soft, becom'

Now is the time when the warm coat
for midwinter comes up for consider
alton and the buyer goes cheerfully
forth to see what she can see. She is
destined to find quite a number of new
cOatings represented in thick, soft
wehves and, if gifted with a retentive
mind, she may be able to commit their
various names to memory. They all
seem to be variations of cloths that
we have known in the past as Bolivia,
zibeline, duvetyn rough mixtures and
other heavy, woody fabrics that are
coy looking. Some of them we know
to be strong and sturdy, others look
as promising. Taken as a whole
coatings are richer looking than they
have ever been, which is a pleasant
thing to cOntemplate-and measured
by prices they certainly ought to look
rich.
Some of the new coats are eXtrava.
gantly high priced and there has beer
an increase in nearly all of them. The

looking and have proved to be most
durable. Coats of these pushes sell
at a reasonable price and so do those
of heavy woods that are woven like
steamer rugs or army blankets. Leath-
er coats have been introduced to pro-
vide warm coats at a medium price
The two coats shown in the picture
above are good examples of styles for
all-round general wear. They are cut
on the most practical lines with muf-
fler collars, big pockets and roomy
sleeves. The coat at the left has a
narrow belt of cloth with long ends
that loop over at the front. 4 few
bone buttons make themselves useful
for fastening at the wafStline and col
lar and ornamenting the cuffs. In
the coat at the right, the buttons are
cloth-covered and the belt slips
through a slide at the front. a luxu-
rious collar of skunk fur may be
brought up and fastened at the throat,
in the face of stormy weather or be
fore the teeth of an icy wind. These
are both attractive coats and types OF
styles that are soft and becoming as
! well as warm and durable.
