Boy Scout
History

There are 500 Boy Scouts in Topeka.
There should be 1900. The first troop
of Boy Scouts was organized DIN Oak
land by Mr.. Fazel, September 19. 1911
That troop grew to membership of
4s and most of them were in the serv-
ice of their country during the World
War.
The members of the first patrol and
the positions they held were: Harry
B. Wilson, troop leader; Harry
Northup. assistant troop leader; Frank
r. Jessop, bugler; Myron A. Wright.
secretary; Merle Vanorsdal. color
bearer; Mitchell Jordan, treasurer; AL
bert Fay, cook, and John Dunn. who
had the honor-of being the only MEM
Der of the organization that did not
hold office.
Executive Fazel has always been in
terested in boys and in scouting. When
he was a boy it was frequently his
duty to chase away the fat, overfed
bears that infested his fathers corn
fields near the Wisconsin woods. The
bears weren't dangerous. Mr.. Fazel
says. and for boy of his environment
1t was a no greater test of bravery
than it is for a Kansas boy to shoe
cattle away from a Kansas cornfield.
When Mr.. Fazel beca me young man
he was employed a great deal
scout in the north woods. There he
learned much of wood craft, how to
identify the tracks of animals, all
about Indian trails and the many
things that an out-of-doors man
should know.
later he hecame a minister and
finally came to Topeka, where he was
pastor of the Presbyterian church in
Oakland. Ee probably was the first
person in Topeka to take really an ac-
tive interest in the Boy Scout move
ment. 1t is said that excepting the
Y. NJ c. A. boys secretary, Mr.. Fazel
knows more boys by name than any
other man in Topeka.

contest will be held between the vari.
GUS troops of Boy Scouts in giving
first aid treatment and cash prizes
will be awarded the troops that do
the best work. Executive Fazel as
serts that by the time the years in
struction has been completed, there
will be 500 boys in Topeka who will
know what to do in an emergency
that may mean life or death.
Is it worth anything to have YOUR
boy receive such instruction as this?
If you have no boy, isn't 1t worth
something to you to have a boy in
every part of town who is competent
and ready to save your life il need be?
Then send your subscription to the
Rotary committee.

! Yesterday some one sent me a
basket OF beautiful orchids-white
lavender. and one OF them wac

They were like butterflies futter-

So frail, so delicate, so brilliantly
beautiful-they reminded me OF a
beautiful woman 7 know whose skin

and she has not much strength or

She sleeps late in the morning

Apple green, faint rose, delicate
lavender and sometimes pale ethe-
real blue which matches almost ex-
actly the soft azure OF her liquid
eyes.
Delicate, sensitive. gentle in all her
ways. fine-but with no depth Of
warm affection. no strength OF mere
" human love.

OF some hens that have started lay
ing again. 1t naturally follows. then,
that the logical time 10 throw out
the loafers is during August and
September when they have stopped
laying and their loafing can be
readily detected.
An example OF the impracticabil-
ity OF putting of the culling until
the spring is found in the case of a
farmer in Miami county. This man
was the owner of 1875 hens and
when his egg production dropped to
20 and so eggs a day in March he
asked that a member Of the Purdue
poultry department Gull his flock.
After the flock had been examined
by a member OF the department.
only three possible culls were found
and these were laying. This fall
during august and September thic
fOck's eg production will probab bly,
drop TO % or 80 eggs per day and
a bout one-third Of the flock can be
detected as culls and eliminated
The exact time to Gull can usually
be told by watching the daily egg
records of the flock Some time
during the summer there will be a
decided rOp in the number OF eggs
laid each day and according 10 the
authorities this is the time 10 go
after the loafers and throw them
out.

REDUCED BY ORDER
Aim to- Conserve Food in German
Occupied Areas Keeps Americans
Out of Cologne.

COBLENZ. Tuesday. February (by
the Associated Press).-The deter
miuation of the allies to assist the
people in the German-occupied area
to conserve the rapidly diminishing
food supply has resulted in big re-
duction in requests for leaves of abb
sence. Orders were given today for
Cologne, in the British sector. unless
they return the same day. 1t was
suggested that the Americans going
to Cologne should take food with
them.
The British authorities have an
nounced that the crowded condition
in their area makes billeting almost
impossible and that the shortage of
food makes the feeding of visitors in
convenient. The officers and men of
the American forces are less keen to
visit Coblenz and other large towns
in their own area because it is i'm
possible to buy even a sandwich since
the order was issued prohibiting the
purchase OF any food anywhere from
Germans

Meet the chances the residents in the

foodstuffs. The records show that in
