THEY WERE BOY SCOUTS

Vincent Fireno, peddler of fruits in Utica, N. Y., had an unpleasant ex- perience. He was prOpeIling a push cart laden with oranges, bananas and potted plants, when an automobile came along, driven by lady.
 She intended to stop at the curb, and had almost succeeded when the auto started over again and kept on going. It finally stopped but not until it had struck the cart and demolished part of it, and sent fruit and flowers flying.
 No one was hurt, and not much in- jury was done, but while the crowd stopped and gaZed, couple of boy scouts got busy and picked up the ven dOr's fruit and plants and put them in a box which he brought.
 Times have certainly changed. In the good old days the boys would have regarded the accident as prOvidentiaI, and gathered the fruit and departed push-cart and all, before the vendor could protest.

MUCH DISCUSSION OVER NEW ORDER CONCERNING
 USE OF CANADIAN COIN

The discount on Canadian money i'll circulation in this country, an in novation so far as Pacific coast states and territories is concerned, is being generally mentioned in the press. One Seattle paper discusses the mat ter as follows:
 ''When's dime not a dime, quar- ter not quarter and a four-bit-piece but forty-tive cents?
 "Answer-When made in Canada.
 "All Seattle learned the little prob lem in arithmetic this morning when jitney drivers demanded another penny with a Canadian dime, when the pie and coffee man sliced three cents off Canadian quarters and cashiers at theaters returned but twenty cents change with a ticket for the show when rendered a Canadian half dollar.
 "One restaurant man declared that this was the most disagreeable and quarrelsome day in the history of Se- attle. But, there is no other course left open for business men, he said, than that of adhering to the orders from the banks regarding 10 per cent discount on Canadian silver coin.
 "'Big resVaurants, for instance, take in $500 to 1000 every day. said one of the prominent restaurant men. Of this in the past at least 30 per cent of the silver has been Canadian One thousand dollars in Canadian money at the end of the week means a dead loss of one hundred dollars.
 ''The actual money loss to business men of the class who bank once a week will amount to thousands of dollars. One small merchant counted his cash last night after the an nouncement by the clearance house in Seattle. He found $487 which he intended to bank on Saturday. Of this $185 is in Canadian money His ac- tual loss for the week is $18.5O.
 "All arguments at cigar counters, any time today, when traced to their source disclosed Canadian coins.
 No less than twenty old-time cus- toners have left my place in a huff this morning., said cigar dealer Because they have been trading here for years none can understand why it takes a nickel more with a Cana dian half dollar for the usual allot- ment of four cigars for a half
 Its certain that smallpox and Canadian coins are both enjoying the same degree of popularity in Seattle today"

SCOUTS NEED THE SOLDIERS

SCOUTS NEED THE SOLDIERS
 Military life and scouting have much in common, except the manual of arms and the carrying of guns, which play no part in the scout program.
 Their common ground is in the devel- opmont of discipline, the making of healthy bodies through outdoor activi- ties and the creation of loyalty and good citizenship.
 Thousands of civilians, men of good character, who entered the army and navy during the war, have acquired through their experience in the serv- ice qualities of leadership that may have been dormant during civilian life.
 Many of them are of just the sort to inspire boys, the kind that will make good scOutmasters, of. whom there is dearth, because they have learned to obey and to command, and because they have acquired knowledge of hygiene and at least the rudiments of wOOdcraft.
 This fact was recognized by the leaders of the boy scout movement from the beginning of the formation of our great army.

THE BOY SCOUT OF AMERICA.

Iris good to tend meetings, have fun with the boys; 'Tis all right to holler and make big noise; Iris great to run races and win medals, too; Iris dandy and jolly to do what scouts do; To hold down an off1ce be ranked as a man, And play the important in organized plan; But scouts are tho fellows that give of their best In work time, in play time, not just when they're drest If you think and embody your thoughts in deeds, If you talk and by talking SOW living seeds, If you spend and are spent for the thing worth while, If you live and by living make others smile, Then your life will be music, sunshine and love; Your words will be welcome as if from above: And folks will be glad when they see you
 about, Just thinking and talking and acting the scout.

CANNERY ON YUKON
 CAUSING PROTESTS

The protest forwarded to Cover nor Riggs by the local Commercial club calling attention to the fact that the operations of the Carlisle cannery, near the mouth of the Yu- kon river, are working a hardship on the people of Interior Alaska, and seking the prohibition of fur ther commercial fishing on the Yu- kon, is beginning to get results That is, the matter has been taken up by the governor of the territory and formally presented by him to representatives of the bureau of fisheries That action was taken sev- eral days ago, according to mes sage received from Juneau early in the week in reply to the protest sent by the club.
 Another encouraging message was received from the territorial capital today, from G. F. Cramer, the gov ernors secretary, in which it is stated the bureau of fisheries has a representative in the Interior inves- tigating conditions.
 Officers of the club are highly pleased with the results obtained thus far, and firmly believe that CO., operation on the part of the people of Interior Alaska will result in the speedy withdrawal of permits for commercial fishing in Interior waters
 The telegram received by Secre- tary Diven today reads as follows
 Bureau of fisheries advises they have agent Investigating fishing in Yukon. The law provides no com mercial fishing, except for local re- quirements, after August 31."-Ne- mana News.

He was a mans man.

He was a mans man.
T. r. was Just that-a virile, siren
uous citizen. full of life.
But TEDDY" and his famous smile
are no more.
We knew he had been in the hospi-
tai. We read that he had been aiing.
But we could hardly associate
Roosevelt with illness and death. We
pictured him always as a man of tre-
mendous vitality-as the man who
could deliver his scheduled speech tho
carrying in his body bullet from a
would-be assassin's gun. To all of us
Amercans-ay and to the world, too
he was the picture of constant activity.
We knew him as the strenuous
American-and he was. Statesman,
hunter, historian, author, sportsman
he was all these.
Some of us loved him. Others of
us disliked him. He was the kind of
man who produced enthusiastic admra-
tion or violent opposition, but with his
death comes the realization to all of us,
friends and foes alike, that the lndomlt-
able warrior was endeared to the ma
tonal heart For, if he was foe, he
was a worthy foe.
One could not be neutral toward
Roosevelt One either fought with him
on against him, and it was good fight
whichever way the battle went.
