HASTY RETREAT Of
SHORT INTEREST
BE ar Contingent Evidently
Deemed It Expedient to Re-
duce Commitments

New York, Sept. 2.-The short inter
est evidently either found it compul
sorry or expedient to reduce its com
mitments over the triple holiday. The
result was today's stock market did the
unexpected. The majority came down :
town prepared TO witness a listlcss and
sagging pre- holiday market. To the
| contrary, and much to the surprise Of
many. the list, especially the industrial
| division, started TO climb from the out =
set and continued TO do 80 during the
| remainder of the forenoon. To make
| the situation more uncomfortable for
| the over stayed shorts interest, a num-
! Der of the pool managers bid up their
tavorites vigorously on every attempt
to cover. BY midday the active specu-
| latNe tavorites and others in the in
!ustrial quarter showed gains ranging
| from l to D points. The rails did not
do much. receiving only secondary con-
sideration. When they did move. they

shown in Northern Pacific and st. Paul
preferred.
IL was not necessary to look beyond
the four walls of the Stock Exchange
Tor reasons for the animated upturn.
IL was based solely on technical cOndi-
lions. although constructive elements
were not lacking in the news and devel
opmonts. On the other hand. if the
professional contingent had felt so dis
posed fairly good bearish argument
could easily have been made out of the
Mexican advices telling of President
Obregon's special message to Congress
declaring that treaty with United States
is impossible in that it creates special
privileges for Americans. This bit of
news, quite of different coloring from
the bull pap put out yesterday, upset
the Mexican oils for time, but the in
cident was promptly ignored by the gen.
cral list Furthermore, the bear con-
tingent before high noon was reached
had reasons for rcgrctting Its mac
curatc early measurement of the market
temper.
In the weekly statements of the Fed
cral Reserve systems further encourage
ing testimony was supplied attPsting to
the further consistent Improvement in
the banking situation. On the same line
Of thought considerable bullish ammuni-
ton was derived from the cotton crop
report, which was interpreted as life
saver for the hard-ht Southland. Then
there was no further tightening of the
rursestrings in the money market, as
call loan renewals were again fixed at
~ per cent. that rate applying also to
loans extending into next week, there
by dissipating all fears of slight furry
because of the triple holiday.
All of these factors. of course, con
iributed to strengthen the list but the
:reatcr influence existing was one of
,clf-preservatiOn. The possibilities of
ONE big stimulating factor turning up
ever the three day suspension natur-
ally made the short position altogether
too hazardous. especially when the
larger percentage of the trading con-
tiffgcnt had bearish sort Of leaning.

SCOUTS STAR IN PENRoD.

Over near the river in New York
city three small boys, by name, Will
liam Blair Richard Ross and John
Call lived and played and got into mis-
chief with the rest of the "gang." One
day they heard of the scouts and de-
cided they wanted to see what scout
ing was like. Accordingly they pre-
scented themselves at Kennedy house
and demanded to know all about it..
The result was they joined the boy
scout family of Kennedy house and
began to do all the interesting things
scouts do and to understand what
scouting stands for In health. happi-
ness and outdoor life, as well as for
comradeship and clean living. The
three are today good scouts, in every
sense Of the word and are also known

THAT SOMETHING.

What Is It that makes a Troop
TT IS THAT SOMETHING!
What ia 1t that makes the Troop
boom, what causes the wonderful
attendance at each meeting?
Why does the Troop make such
wonderful progress?
TT IS THAT SOMETHING!
You can have the best cannon in the
world. and thousands Of pounds Of
shells, but the metal and powder is
absolutely useless unless you have
a flame to touch off the fuse.
1T is THE FLAME THAT DOES
THE WORK!
You can have the best bunch Of
boys In the city, the best scou:master,
the best meeting place and the most
money in the treasury-but all this
amounts to nothing unless you have
the flame to set the things going. and
the flame which will start the Scout
Trop going is
THAT SOMETHING.
No. 1t is not pep alone; nor is 1t
loyalty alone that makes the good
troop. 1t Is not cooperation or team
work alone, nor is it obedience alone.
But the flame which will set the
scout troop off-which will make 1t
hum right along-is all Of the above
qualities rolled together and called
THE TROOP SPIRIT.

magazine.

DRIVE FOR REPRESENTATION

The fact that q large number OF
scout troops fail annually to re-register,
and consequently have to be stricken
the national council so much concern
that they are endeavorlng to investi-
gate each case Of a dead or lapsed
troop to see what ended Its dormant
condition and what, If anything, can
be done to revive it and put it In good
working order again.
In many cases the trouble has been
traced to the lack of proper leadership,
of laxness in handling troop business
on the part Of those in charge. This
is, Of course serious injustice to the
boys themselves, who are usually not
only willing but anxious to "carry on"
Scout leaders everywhere are being re-
minded that unless troop is regularly
registered at the national council head
quarters 1t cannot be included in the
boy scout membership nor so reported
to congress. This means even more
to the boy according to act of con-
gress: No unregistered scout is enti-
sigma.
The chief scout executive has this
to say on the subject:
'The fundamental detectives of
scouting are character development and
citizenship training. Good citizenship
means law and order. That is, not
only knowledge Of laws, but observ-
ance of laws, rules and regulations.
Surely every scout leader wants to
have members of his troop lawful and
orderly in the matter Of membership
In the Boy Scouts of America.
"Only scouts and scout officials who
are duly registered in accordance with
the regulations of the Boy Scouts of
America, adopted pursuant to federal
charter granted by congress, can law
fully represent themselves as scouts
authorized to wear the uniform and
official insignia.
Scouts whose membership is al
lowed to lapse violate the regulations
and therefore are not lawful and or
derby.
"This is an important matter. Act
promptlyr'
1t Is to be hoped that every person
interested in scouting will concern him
self with the question involved and see
to 1t that no scout troop is allowed to
lapse for want Of adult leadership and
action in behalf Of the boy and com.
munity who both need scouting.

Shortly after the conclusion of the
banquet a company of about so mem
bers of the Rebekah lodge of Sand

visitors and the local folks departed
for their homes and all declared the
evening as having been spent in a
most enjoyable manner.

Lake district last spring. arrived here
last week to superintend the plowing
of some $50 acres of land. The land
being plowed is the highest of the
flat and 1t is being prepared for the
sowing of grain next spring.
Several other owners of land in the
same district will plow their high
land this fall with a view of sowing
it to grain in the spring. Among
these are Frank Clapp, ]. B. Brody,
Wyman Hoagland and Sol Bauman.
This land is all included in Drain
age District No / and Contractor
Woldson, of Spokane. now has crew
of men at work on bitches and dikes
with which it is proposed to reclaim
the entire area of 1900 acres. Ii is
hoped that the entire work to be done
will be finished before high water
time next spring. If this reclamation
project is successful II will mean that
4200 acres of land within few miles
of Bonners Ferry will be put in grain
each year and from past experiments
this land will produce from so to 80
bushels of wheat per acre. The sue
cess of the project also means that
similar projects in other parts of the
Kootenai Valley will be started and
that eventually the entire valley, of
some 10000 acres, will be reclaimed.
