Elephants Raid Railway Station.

We are used to stories Of how an
elephant occasionally upsets a circus
but 1t Is rare we hear of an orgy of
destruction like that which occurred
in the Malay peninsula. A herd Of
wild elephants attacked railway
station, pulling down the station
masters kitchen and bathroom. They
did the same to the clerks quarters
and then tackled the station while the
Office force looked on from trees. One
elephant took off an automatic weigh
ing machine as souvenir of the raid,
but finding 1t heavy, threw 1t down
on the track. One Of the elephants
trumpetcd the recall and they all went
back into the jungle except one who
fell in a we'll and had to be cut out
by human aid, but was not detained.

Bow Scout Notes

Rev. Henry, scoutmaster of troop
five, with assistant scoutmastey
Franklin, is giving the boys of their
troop an outing this week. At the
invitation of Warren Farmer, they
are enjoying the camping facilities
of the club on the Cimarron. Mr..
Farmer is with them as host. We
are sure they are having a great
time.
Another group Of boys are being
taken to Stout's Grove this evening
for short camping experience.
These are scouts from troops two,
three and four. The scout master is
in charge Of these boys.
All boy scouts will take notice:
That regular troop meetings are to
be held from now on. All scouts
are expected to attend every meet
ing unless prevented by sickness or
some unavoidable business. A num-
Der of hikes can be pulled off yet
this fall before cold weather. Mr..
Baughman has suggested the posi-
bility of trip next year, even
greater than the one taken last
June. We have nothing definite to
announce about it yet. However,
it would be wise plan for all
scouts to get in good standing, and
in a position to try to win place
if such an inducement is offered.
The Local Council has received a
Charter from the national organi-
cation, duly signed by Warren G..
Harding, honorary president, and
Woodrow Wilson, honorary vice
president.
We are now in position to do
scout work in an accredited manner.
Let all boy scout boosters help put
Liberal on the map as a boy scout
town.
