Tinker Bob had not noticed n
movements about the stick pile, and
he did not know what Red Fox was
SO excited about. so he remained
very quiet to watch. MI. Fox began
to dig as fast as he could. The sticks
and stones. flew very way. 1t did not
take him long to open that pile of
sticks, And instantly Mr.. Mink
jumped out, with Bob White in his
mouth. Mr.. Mink is very swift also.
He lodged Red Fox and made

You stay there, and watch the

There is the case. for instance, Of
First Class Scout Philip P. Fawcett,

there, under the stars, camp o.

remember, back in your own Young
days, when you would have feared 10

bordering this, resolved to come back
before the day has broken so that you
can see how this camp bestirs itself
in the morning.
True to your resolve, you are back
while the sky is yet dark. Just as q
bugle sent these boys 10 sleep, now,
as the daylight spreads, it arouseS
them from slumber. Rollicking and
merry is the music. 1t brings them
tumDling from the tents. Five minutes
of a setting up drill-how supple those

A happy 90 lucky, broken column OF
Khaki figures, each with havcrsack

sunlight shows the glow of health on
merry faces and the light Of ant!clpa-

lum5ers a two-whccl cart--a trek
cart they call it-drawn by elGAt
boys. Originally canvas was strapped
over the top, but the canvas has come
loose. You see cooking pots, and ket-
les. and flag, and tents. And then
YOU remember. This is Friday, June
4, the sixth day of Boy Scout Week.
This is the day on which, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Lakes
to the Gulf, every member OF the boy
Scouts of America is expected to take
an overnight hike. There arc 396,OO8
Of them, and it dawns upon you that
at this identical hour they are kicking
up the dust on ten thousand roads
and trails-valleys and hills, noun
tains and deserts, The figures are a
bit staggering.
There is one man with these boys.
He is dressed as they are. and ne
walks where he can keep a sharp eye
on the party. They haul the trek cart
across loose bridge spanning
strcam-you hear the thunp, thump
of the boards as they are Jared by
the wheels.
The voice Of the man reaches you.
Somehow it carries a note Of vitality
and good cheer. ''All right, Eagles.
Wolves to the trek cart. Lively, Wolf
Patrol"
The eight Eagles drop the hauling
ropes, and stretch their arms, ana
give thanks that that particular trick
is over. The Wolves, alert, spring
smartly to take their places. The cart
and the Troop go on again, Somehow
your eyes grow little thoughtful.
There's a boy or two in whom your
Heart is buried. You pal with. them,
Of course; but you think, just at that
moment, that you'd give much to win
from them the same brand Of eager,
happy response that this unknown
Scoutmastcr has secured.
After while you follow them, won

Scouts are doing today? How do they
do it? What do they get out of it?
Of rcurse, you knew something about

. SUPREME COURT OPINION

Following is the Supreme court op-
Union in the case OF John Larson, APP
pellant, against Jennie Larson, re-
spondent. per curiam.
Plaintiff appeals from judgment
granting defendant divorce with
permanent alimony.
This action was begun in Decem
Der, 1917. Defendant alleged, and the
court found, that paintiff wilfully and
without cause deserted her in Febru
airy, 1900. The court also found that
for a number Of years prior to said
desertion the plaintiff was In a state
OF habitual drunkenness" and that
the plaintiff 10 the owner of property
OF the value OF fifteen thousand dol
lars ($16000)." 1t appears that plain
tiff moved to strike out the first find
ing as immaterial and the second be-
cause there was no support for 1t in
the evidence. The record does nes
show what disposition was made OF
the motion, but evidently 1t was de-
MED or not acted on, for upon the
same findings are predicated the as
signments of error in this court We
think they are well taken. Proof OF
drunkenness prior to 1900 as wholly
immaterial and SO was the finding
based thereon and should not have
been inserted. Drunkenness as a
cause for divorce must exist for one
year Immediately prior to the bring
ing Of the suit.
No testimony was given as to the
property or earning capacity of
plaintiff, except as elected from him
on cross examination. He is SO years
old and was hurt some years ago so
that he limps in walking. He testified
that he was living with a brother do
ing chores for his board but receiv-
ing no other wakes; that he had no
money or property Of any nature
two years before the trial brother
died who owned 100 acres of land
and who left no wife or child, but
said he never got anything from the
estate, did not know who owned the
land, or whether there was anything
left after paying the debts and ex-
penses of his last illness. Even IL
this land was indisposed of by deed
or will, there is nothing to indicate
its value or what part would be com
ing to plaintiff for .he has other bro
theirs and sisters. There Is SO evil
dence to sustain the finding that
plaintiff was the owner Of any pro-
perry whatever. With the finding ell
the judgment awarding permanent
alimony. There is no evidence war
ranting q finding that this old man
had any earning capacity beyond
what was absolutely necessary for
his own sustenance and that would be
far short Of ninety dollars month
The thirty dollars fmonthy alimony
must therefore be stricken from the
judgment Costs, including the attor-
ney's fees awarded, are discretionary
and cannot be disturbed.
The cause is remanded with dfrec-
ton to modify the Judgment as
above Indicated

Minneapolis, November. 23.- The
days OF the liquor prescription are
numbered, IN the opinion or many
Minneapolis doctors, who expressed
their opinion last night that whiskey
can well be eliminated from medical
practice. All declared that the law
authorizing prescriptions IL mus
ance, that liquor Is not needed as
stimulant, and that not one prescrtp-
essary.
No charges were made Of misuse OF
prescriptions in the twin cities by any
Of the doctors. They said that many
of them are used advantageously In
many cases and are Of benefit to the
satient, but that II the prescriptions
>were not available, some substitute
could be found without difficulty
which would serve the same purpose
as the whiskey.
'The prescriptions cause the med
ical profession great deal OF bother
and inconvenience and We would DO

tinually for colds and while the
whiskey is good for a cold II properly
used, some other remedy would serve
the same purpose"
Statement Of Walter List.
DR.. Walter List, superintendent Of
the Minneapolis General hospital, de-
clared that the use of whiskey in the
hospital has been practically done
away with.

than good and not one In every 100

there are many substitutes equally as

very little whiskey. If any, In the fu-
ture"
DR.. List declined to discuss the gen
eral need or use of prescriptions In
the medical profession. Other doctors
predicted that the law would soon be
altered to prohibit prescriptions en-
tirely or to limit them to certain spec
ific emergencies. They declared that
this change would be most welcome
to the profession.

A hearing is being given these ju-

Deputy Sheriff Carmichael served

church voted to take q radical

BY motion the pastor. Riy. e. G.
Horn was instructed to n to the
twin cities today and purShase the
needed machine and make all other
arrangements TO give q Sunday night
crea Tree exhibition of modern
films at the earliest possible date.

said to have met with great success
