In talking with the plantation own

Rube was an outstanding man and
was the best manager and the best
all round farmer on the place The
fact that he was buying a farm for
himself was proof of superior abili-

there is not great deal of difference

through the best. Every year yet he

FORMATION ABOUT FERROLAA.
Introduction of New Discovery is Gre

The success attending the sale of
Ferrolax in this city serves as a clear
index at the remarkable medical DOW
ers of the new medical discovery.
People from all walks. of life are
seeking information about it, and
many have been convinced of the fact
that FerrOlax is real medicine and
are not hesitating to purchase bot
tie of this wonderful reconstructive
tonic.
1t is safe to predict that it will be
only short time until the remark
able merit of Ferrolax will become
recognized in all parts of South Caro-
lima, just as it is in all other sections
OF the country where it has been in
troduced.
The fame of Ferrolax is spreading
rapidly, and deservedly so, but the
almost miraculous results attending
the use of this powerful reconstruc-
tive medicine are entirely responsible
for its fast growing popularity. One
person invariably tells another about
a medicine that helps him, and in this
way many people hear of Ferrolax
as direct result of one bottle in a
single home.
If you are suffering give .Ferrolax
a trial, and you will soon join the
great army of sufferers who today
claim Ferrolax as the worlds great

BOY SCOUTS TO
OBSERVE BIRTH
Entire Week of May
80 to June 6 to
be Used

AS a part of the tenth birthday
program of the Boy Scouts of
America, the week commencing
Memorial day, May 80, and ending
Sunday, June 6, will be observed
nationally as Boy Scout week. In
1900 communities where Scout
troops are established, program of
outdoor activities will be carried out.
The remarkable growth of the
Boy Scouts of America has given a
great stimulus tothe outdoor activi-
ties of American boys. 1t is proba-
BILE that throughout the past year
more boys have spent days and
nights in the open under leader
ship than ever before in the history
of the United States since pioneer
days; and because Boy Scouts have
taken this message of the outdoors
into their homes, have conducted
open-window campaigns and fresh
air crusades, it is likely that more
grown-ups have breathed pure air
during the past year than has been
the case since the time of our great
grandfathers.
Boys as Scouts have been taught
to care for forests and to fight forest
fires. They have gathered informa-
ton for numerous departments of
forestry, sometimes collecting data
on the trees Of an entire state. They
have engaged in fights against in
sect pests and have made notes on
different varieties of birds.
Thousands of American boys who
year or so ogo were absolutely
helpless in the open can now be de-
pended upon to find their way about,
to. cook their own meals, to choose
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1920-05-24

a proper camp site and to erect
comfortable shelter. Thousands of
American boys who formerly knew
little or nothing of nature can now
recognize many different kinds of
trees and give the names of dozens
of wild flowers can easily recog-
nize the more common birds and
know enough about mushrooms to
avoid being poisoned.
The activities of Boy Scout week
will include special Scout services
in churches of all denominations,
outdoor rallies, overnight hikes, bar
becues, field days, demonstration
camps, and competitions in outdoor
features of all kinds.
On Sunday, May 80, the opening
day of Boy Scout week, special
services in which Scouts will partici-
pate are planned by churches of all
denominations. Programs of Scout
ing activities will be held through
the week, and Friday, June 4th, will
be observed as hike and camp day.
A nation wide field day program
will be held on Saturday, June 5th,
with competitions in tent pitching,
fire building, wall scaling, signal
ing, tower and bridge building and
demonstrations of first aid and life
saving.
The great success of the Boy Scout
movement has naturally created the
demand for much wider and more
rapid extension of the benefits of the
movement to the boys not already
reached, and the objective of Boy
Scout week will be to stimulate this
interest.

smiled a little when she was describ-
ed as the greatest bigamist the po-
lice witness had met. She gave a
shrug of the shoulders when SEN
tence was passed upon her, and her
only regret probably was that for a
few years she would not be able to
resume operations.
Violet would not be indignant if
she knew she was described as being
of not very prepossessing appear
ance. Certainly she could not lay
claim to personal beauty, but there
were times when she displayed a
very charming manner.
Violets first love affair" came to
her early in life. Born at Doune,
Perthshire, she was only sixteen
when she married in Renfrewshire,
in 1901. A child was born of this
marriage, but she left her husband
soon after and lived for while with
another man.
Official records show that she re-
newed acquaintance with marriage
ceremonies in 1908 at Glasgow, and
on two later occasions Glasgow men
we're duped. Her last recorded mat
rimonial exploit took place in Ar
magh, where an Irishman fell vic
tim to her winning ways
Her Manchester husband can
tell an amusing story of Violet's con-
vincing ways. To him she was the
daughter of a well-known Glasgow
divine and was heiress to an estate
valued at 100000. The day of full
inheritance was at hand, and it was
necessary that she should go to Kill
marnock to settle everything with
the family solicitors. The marriage
ceremony was fastened ard duly
took place 1t was also necessary
that some one should accompany her
to Kilmarnock in order to see the
legal formalities completed.
Of the 5000 the new husband
was to have big share. The best
man at the wedding was also made
aware of the good news, and in or
der that Violet should be able to en-
ter into her own and to meet the mi
tial expenses. the best man per-
formed his duty properly and loaned
her $3.50. He also accepted the
pressing invitation to accompany
husband and wife to Kilmarnock.
The party duly arrived at that
town and obtained good accommoda-
ton. The following morning GER
tain gold studs were missing. This
delayed the two men lin completing
their toilet and they were rather late
at breakfast.
Violet was anxiously waiting and
when her husband appeared re-
marked: "You are rather late,
dearie."
He informed her of the missing
studs and she then said she would
make a few purchases at shop
round the corner. She went round
the corner and was not seen again
by the two men for nearly two years.
Eighteen months Imprisonment
for fraud at Ayr followed. She was
then rearrested and taken to Man

their tale.
