.2lM of County
Taxes Paid In
By December 10

The county taxes are coming in fast,
according to c. P. Arnold, county col
lector, and are far in advance of the
amount paid in at this time last year.
Since the beginning of the week,over
$500 has been turned in each day
This is being paid principally by peo-
pie out in the county, and not so much
by those in and around Mexico. Up
to date, approximately 100000 has
been collected. This is about q per
cent of the amount to be collected.
However this is higher than the a
mount in last year this time, and at
the rate the taxes are now being paid,
more than so percent will have been
paid by the first Of the year. This is a
higher average than last year.

GIVEN PRIVILEGE IN WAR
Channel islanders for Centuries Were Not Forced to Take Part In
 Britain's Conflicts.

For over two centuries the Channel islands were allowed to remain neu- tral in any war that England might undertake. This singular privilege was granted to them by Edward ", and was not revoked till the reign of Will liam and Mary. It was granted as a reward for the loyalty of the island CTS; whose commerce with the neigh boring coasts of Brittany and Nor mandy was constantly being inter- rupted by the numerous wars. Even the pope joined in enforcing the right. and by a bull dated 14S3 Sextus " threatened to excommunicate any one who violated the order. On the whole, 1t was fairly rigidly observed, and when a Guernsey vessel was taken in the channel by privateer of Morlaix, the islanders with their boat were re- leased, but a few Englishmen on board, with their merchandise, were captured. The privilege does not seem to have been of any great com mercial value, for when it was with drawn the islanders made more money than before by fitting their ves- sells out as privateers.

NOVEL HOUSES OF WORSHIP
One Missionary to Eskimos Made Uss of SeaIskins and Another En-
 ployed Only Snow.

One of the queerest churches ever known was built by a missionary on Blackhead Island, in Cumberland sound. Finding that the Eskimos had no place in which they could meet for religious services, the missionary started to build church of the skins of seals, no wood being available. The skins were sewn together and stretched over "girders" of whalebone. empty provision tins serving as seats.
 The cold at one time became so severe that for many days the Eski- mos of Blacklead island were unable to procure food for themselves or for their animals. One night dogs made their way to the strange church edi- flee and began consuming it, with the result that when morning came there was not a skin left, the whalebone ribs alone remaining to show that there had ever been a church.
 Another missionary in charge of the spiritual welfare of the Eskimo tribe, built his church entirely of snow. Seat, pulpit, altar and interior equip ment were made of snow, and in the matter of warmth no. stone-built church could beat 1t.

 SCOUTS
 & &8 Conducted by National Council of the Boy Scouts of America.)
OBSERVING BOY SCOUT WEEK

The week of May B to May 30 will be observed throughout the land as Boy Scout week, and everywhere boys who are scouts will participate in the program of activities planned to en- scout program.
 The great success of the Boy Scout movement has naturally created the de mand for a much wider and more rapid extension of the benefits of the move ment to the boys not already reached. and the objective of Boy Scout week will be to stimulate this interest. It is also intended that the campaign shall give every community an opportunity to show it's appreciation of the achieve ments of the Boy Scouts locally and nationally and to give definite recogni- ton to the value of the Boy Scout movement.
 For Sunday, May g, the opening day of Boy Scout week, special services in which the Scouts will participate are planned for churches of all denomi- nations. Programs of various scouting activities will be held through the week and Friday, May 29, will be observed as hike and camp day, with every one of the 17,154 local scout troops get ting into the woods.
 Saturday the 29th will be field day, with competitions in tent pitching, fire building, wall scaling, signaling, tower and bridge building and demonstra- tions of first aid and life saving.
 During the celebration of Boy Scout week all those who became associate members of the national council, Boy Scouts of America, during Boy Scout week in June, 1919, will be given an opportunity, through the local chair man or direct by mail, to again ex- press their interest in the boyhood of the nation by renewing their member ship. An effort will be made to se- cure many new associate members.

PERsHINe GIVES SCOUT MEDALS.

Honor medals, the highest award which can be conferred upon a Boy Scout of America, were presented to Hamilton Craig and Beryl Warden, two Des Moines scouts, by Gen. John J. Pershing.
 These medals are conferred upon the scouts for bravery and life sav- ing by the National Court of Honor. Craig is a member of Troop No. 15 of Des Moines, and Warden is a scout in Troop No. of Valley Junction.
 The two boys saved the lives of four people at 'The Ledges," near Boone, where the boy scouts were encamped in the summer.
 Three people in swimming got be- yond their depth, and were being swept out into the current. Craig swan out from shore and lowed two of them in- to a boat which met them about 15 feet from shore.
 In the meantime the brother of the other woman had jumped in to save his sister. They were both being swept down the river when Warden came to the rescue while thirty people watched from the river banks.

 As the vessel pitched and tossed, and heavy showers of spray drenched everything, a fellow tourist came to her.
 Excuse me, Miss Black, but thought perhaps you feel the need of a strong arm to lean on-something to support you, you know"

HE REMEMBERED THE LAW
Boy Scouts Explanation Somewhat Disconcerting in That 1t Im-
 piled So Much.

The boy scouts were telling their scoutmaster of some of the good turns they had done during the last week. He was having this done for the bene- fit of one of the city school teachers who was visiting the meeting. One of the little scouts said, '1 helped an old lady across the street."
 The next little scout looked at the visiting teacher, who happened to be his teacher, and who also was in the early thirties. 'I brought my teacher a pitcher of we'll water when she was not feeling well," he told the scout master.
 The teacher smiled, "Why didn't you you helped another old lady?" she asked.
 The retort that came back staggered her. The little scout said sweetly, "A scout is courteous. us."-IndianapoIis News.

KNOWLEDGE IS VALUABLE.

There are verious kinds of accidents of which a boy scout ought to have sufficient knowledge to handle rightly. There are those injuries in which the skin is not pierced or broken, such as bruises, strains, sprains, dislocations and fractures. There are those inju- ries in which the skin is pierced or broken, such as wounds and hemor- images, nosebleed, abdominal wounds, wounds in which foreign bodies re- main.

SCOUTING OFFSETS SOCIALISM.

Characterizing the Boy Scouts of America as the most effective means of combating the spread of those doc trines that advocate the overthrow of this government, Former Justice Luke D. Stapleton of Brooklyn, N. Y, spoke as follows:
 Against this system of propaganda are arrayed every sane organization, every American and, to my mind, the most effective, powerful and resistless organization-the Boy Scouts of Amer ica. That is my belief and the reason I am so keenly interested in the move ment."

 "Oh, we'll have a fine time," said the Breeze Brothers, land how sensi- ble of you, dear MT. Wind, to use the hats of people for balls to save us the trouble of taking our own games along. You're a good, thoughtful Mr. Wind"

 So everything that was a relation of the wind came along and as they were going towards the city MT. Wind said: Were going to the city because we can have more fun there and as l go along I will explain to you the rules of the game of ball we will play to- day."
 "We felt just like a party today" said the Breeze Brothers.

 "But, of course, it Is mostly because I don't care for such things that l don't do them. wouldn't like to car " baskets of food because they would be nuisance and because I wouldn't even care about having the food.
 "What would MT. Wind do, for ex- ample, with tomato sandwich He might blow it about, but he wouldn't eat it. And what would he do with ginger ale? Blow over the bottle, but never drink 1t.

 That's sensible," said the Breeze Brothers. eve feel just the same way about 1t as you do. We, too, feel that 1t would be useless to tire ourselves all out carrying heavy baskets of food when we haven't real arms and hands to carry them and when we got them anywhere we wouldn't want to eat anything that was inside"
 And so," continued MT. Wind, sin stead of taking along balls to play with, the balls will be all there.
 "We will find in the city that the men wear hats, nice straw hats which we'll blow this way and that, back and forth we'll blow a hat and throw 1t and catch it and have the most glori- ous of games. The hats will be our balls.
 "And there will be enough hats for all of us. Of course, we won't take off everyone's hats, but we will take off a good many. Sometimes, too, we'll take off a lady's hat who hasn't bothered to put hat pin in.
 "And maybe we'll take hat off of little girl who hasn't her elastic band to keep 1t on.

Prohibition of the killing of sea otters in Alaskan waters has been ex- tended by the secretary of commerce to November 1, 1925. It is hoped that in the meantime this valuable fur bearing species, which was pursued almost to extermination, will gain somewhat in numbers
 The fur of the sea otter is the most beautiful and most costly of all peIt- ries. Long before the discovery of America the@mighty tycoons of Japan clothed themselves with it's simmer ing velvet.
