BOY SCOUTS TO
CELEBRATE TENTH
ANNIVERSARY
Program Covering a Week,
May 80 June 6, Has Many
Distinctive Features

As a part Of the Tenth Birthday
program Of the Boy Scouts of
America, the week commencing
Memorial Day, May 30th, and end
ing Sunday, June 9th, will be OBJ
served nationally as Boy Scout
Week. In 1900 communities where
Scout troops are established, pro-
gram Of outdoor activities will be
carried out.
The remarkable growth of the
Boy Scouts Of America has given
a great stimulus to the outdoor ac-
tivities Of American boys. 1t is
probable that throughout the past
year more boys have spent days and
nights in the open under leadership
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 all
during the past year than has beer
the case since the time Of our great
grandfathers.
Newark post., 1920-05-26

Thousands of American boys who
a year or so ago were absolutely
helpless in the open can now be de-
pended upon to find their way
about, to ceok their own meals, to
choose a proper camp site and TO
erect a comfortable shelter. Thou
sands of American boys who form
erly knew little or nothing of ma
ture can now recognize many diff
erent kinds Of trees and give the
names of dozens of wild flowers
can easily recognize the more COM
mon birds and know enough about
mushrooms to avoid being poisoned.
On Sunday, May 30th, the open
ing day of Boy Scout Week, special
services in which Scouts will par
ticipate are planned by churches OF
all denominations. Programs OF
Scouting. activities will be held
through the week, and Friday,
June 4th, will be observed as Hike
and Camp Day. A nationwide
Field Day program will be held on
Saturday, June 5th, with competi'
tions in tent pitching, fire building
wall scaling, signaling, tower ano
bridge building and demonstrations
of first aid and life-saving.
The great success of the Boy
Scout Movement has naturally ere
ated the demand for a much wide
and more rapid extension OF tn
benefits Of the movement to tn
boys not already reached, and tn
objective of Boy Scout Week vii
be to stimulate this interest.

once to manufacture certain OF
these articles. Inside Of three
weeks after the school started last
June, one factory which previously
had manufactured war munitions,
reorganized, invented an aluminium
pressure-cooker, and turned out a

The American method Of can

through all the civilized countries.
The school held in France last year
was attended by Algerians, Syrians,

since have been teaching the people

Last year France borrowed three
canning specialists from the United
States Department of Agriculture:
This unit taught large number Of
agricultural directors and profess
sors, assembled for the purpose at
the principal French agricultural
college, the American methods of
canning and drying. This year the
Americans have been asked to con-
tinue the demonstrations and lee

there and the rest sail the last of
May.
Instead of giving the instruction
at one place i'll France this summer,
short courses will be conducted in
different parts Of the country at the
schools where those who attended
the course last year have been
teaching canning methods.
When the demonstrators went
across last year they took with
them 20 units Of canning equip
ment, consisting Of pressure cook
ers, cans, both tin and glass, car
sealers and other articles necessary
in the work, because many of thest
things could not be procured IL

GENUINE IOWA BIRD WOMAN.
Miss Alethea Sherman of McGregor
Has National Reputation as En-
pert on Birds.

Few people ralize that Iowa en-
joys the distinction of possessing a
bird woman" She is a genuine bird
woman at that, and is one of three
women to be elected to the Ameri-
can Ornithologists Union of New
York.
The lady is Miss Althea Sherman
and she is authority on birds. Very
recently she was in New York city
where she read a paper before the
Orinithological Union on Questions
of Bird Life"
Miss Sherman's home is at Nc
Gregor and includes an acre of
ground. She allows the grounds to
grow wild and has fixed up boxes,
feed and all manner of conveniences
for her bird tenants, which are moi
slow to respond to her kindness and
numbered during one season she has
seen twenty-five species in her door
yard alone.
She has attracted the attention OF
foreign as we'll as American scient-

INvENTs OXYGEN ENGINE.
Eighty Horsepower Runs Two Days
for Seven Cents.

Webster City, Ia.-An 80 horse
power engine runs forty-eight hours
for cents.
Sounds tishy? But it's the truth.
Arthur Bundy of this city invented
it and expects to put it on the mar
ket in ninety days.
Oxygen of the air furnishes the
power, the engine puts to practical
use theory which scientists have
been laboring for many years, that
there is way in which the oxygen
OF the air may be condensed so as to
form fuel for motive power.
At his shop on Seneca street Mr..
Bundy has been working on his in
vention for long time. The engine
is the second he has built. the first
being a small test engine. which
ran successfully.
The machine upon which Mr.. Bun
dy is now working has capacity for
so horsepower and will make 1000

an airplane, the 1000 revolutions a
minute OF the propeller would carry
the plane at rate of speed almost
twice as great as any plane has
thus far been able to travel. An auto
mobile equipped with an engine OF
this new human" type would be
able to travel at rate of $50 to 200
miles an hour.
The cost of the gases which are
placed in the generator would be ap-
proximately cents for forty-eight
hours for a machine of 80 horse
power, working constantly.
There are no batteries, no spark
plugs, no gears. no electricity of any
kind in the mechanism of the engine
and the inventor claims that it has
thirty-two times as much power per
square inch as any other piston en-
CINE now in use. The parts are easily
and quickly put together and Bundy
declares they can be disassembled In
| fifteen minutes.

She found that by placing out artif-
cial flowers with a small vial OF
sugar and water attached that she
could win the hummingbirds away
from the real flowers.
This might also explode the theory
that hummingbirds are in search of
insects when lowering over flower.
Miss Sherman's place has become the
mecca of birds up and down the Mis-
sissippi. This Iowa naturalist some
time ago took a trip to Egypt to
study the birds peculiar to that

HOG SERIOUSLY INJURIES MAN.
Bites on Knee Cap and Blood Poison

Waverly, IA serious and UNI
usual accident occurred a week ago
last Sunday at the Dix farm, near
GAINESVILLE, as the result of which the
son of Mr.. Dix, young man % years
of age,is patient in Mercy hospital
and has been in a critical condition.
The young man went out to feed the
stock and while doing that work he
was attacked by vicious hog, which
caught him by the knee and bit the
kneecap entirely off. Suffering in
tensely the young man had a dis
ance of about block and half to
averse before reaching the house.
1dical help was summoned and he
as rushed to the hospital where
the injured knee was X-rayed and the
bone cleaned. The kneecap was re-
placed in position and secured thus.
For several days he showed improve
ment, but last Sunday infection APP
peared and an operation was neces-
sary TO remove the poison. Since
hen the patient has been comfort
ole and indications are that he will
recover, tho it is likely that the knee
will be stiff.

HOGS NOT MORTGAGE LlFTERs.
Iowa Hog Loses His JOB 1T IL Cent
Price.

Coon Rapids, la w. Walsh,
we'll known farmer of Carroll codnty
marketed carload Of hogs at Oma-
ha recently that brought him S. 3.75
per hundredweight and averaged
219 pounds each. The hogs were fed
in feed yard and made Two pounds
daily gain while there. Mr. Walsh
says:
THE pigs were farrowed in May
and were put on blue grass imne-
diately after weaving. they were
fed enough corn to keep them doing
good and turned into the corntield
on Sept. /, where they were allowed
full range until Nov. L. After tire
cornfield had been cleared up I'M
pigs were put in the feed lot, where
they were given ration of corn and
tankage. They were fed in this man
ner for thirty-four days and taken
to market on Dec. 5. They made 4
gain of two pounds day in the
yards, even after they had been III
the cornfleld for two months.
Considering the price of pork
and the cost of production, IA cents
pound will not let farmer out.
Hogs are far from mortgage lifter5
this year In my estimation, the lar
gest percentage of brood sows have
been marketed and there are very
few in this locality that have been
bred for spring litters."

YOUTHFUL ELoPERs CAUGHT.
Daughter of Pastor Indignant When
Parents interviewed.

Council Bluffs, Ia.-Bernice Jor-
dan, aged II, daughter of Rev. John
Paul Jordan, pastor of a rural
church near here, and organist in the
church, was in love with Frank
Plat, aged 10, son of the Sunday
School superintendent and himself
Sunday School treasurer, and he was
desperately in love with her. They
were determined to get married but
had no money, so it is said they con-
verted certain property into cash,
realizing therefrom 1921.
They then bought a ticket to st.
Joseph, where they expected to get
married, but were caught at the
Union Pacific transfer station here.
The parents said they did not OBJ
ject to them getting married if
they were not so young. The girl
spfritedly and Indignantly and with
considerable show of belief in the
efficiency of her argument eXclaim-
ed! You wouldn't have thought us
too young il you hadn't caught us
and we could have spent just one
night together. You would have been
afraid to let us stay single" The par
ents nearly exploded at. this frank
claim and did not attempt to deny
the argument.
But what would you have lived
on?" asked the father of the young
man. sd have wired for money,
You wouldn't have dared to let us
