Scout Master. Troop 63.

Burnt Mills Boy Scout Reserva-

Some boys have gone to Burnt

hope that they were not Scouts,

Scout Master to get busy and give

Burnt Mills has some of the

tain and half-back of the Univer-
sity of Chicago, on proper inter-
ference.
One of the hardest things for a
team to take in a football game
is the penalty for holding, espe-
cially when the man with the
ball has made an extra good run.
To avoid this penalty the inter-
ference men should follow the
rules of this game. Don't hold
your man. The object of the
game is to advance the ball by
strategy, skill and speed. II
holding were not barred. the
game would be nothing but
team wrestling match.
II you are a line man you
should be fast enough to get the
charge on your opponent, know
enough about the game to use
the proper methods of blocking
the play and have the will and
grit to open up a hole in the op-
ponent's line.
II You are a backfield man you
should be familiar with the DO
sition of the man you are to
block. and on the snap of the
ball get off your mark with
speed and go directly toward
your opponent.
believe that the interferer
should dive at the knees of his
man and put him on the ground.
That is THE only way to get him
out Of the play. II you merely
run up to him and brush him
aside you may be sure he will
slip by and get at the man with
the ball.
1t takes lot of unseIfish feel
ing and grit to play the inter-
ference. You must be willing to
work hard and be determined to
clear the way for your team

ON TRIAL FOR CRIME
COMMITTED YEARS AGO

Oklohoma City, Okla, Jan. 27.-
A battle between United States mar
shals and members of a notorious
outlaw band in the days when the
Indian territory now Oklahoma, was
a refuge for bandits, is the basis for
the trial starting today Of Clarence
Simmons.
Near what is now Pawhuska,
Okla, two members of the famous
Martin gang were killed and Wylie
Haines, deputy United States mar
shall was wounded in 1908. Simmons
it is charged, was a member Of the
Martin gang, and Is under indict-
ment for the wounding of Haines
and robberies committed by the Mar
tin gang. Haines is present as a
witness against him.
Simmons was arrested in Boone

HOW THE DAYS WERE NAMED.
(Proper Gander)

Did you ever stop to think how
such common things as the days Of
the week happened to be named Sun
day, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday and
who named them? They were named
a long, long time ago by the people
who lived in what is now known as
the Scandinavian peninsula. Some
of these strong, hardy people, the
Saxons, went over to England to
make new homes, but they did not
forget the stories of their own lands
and their own way of speaking. They
told their boys and girls the story of
the days and these boys and girls
told the story to their children. and
so it has never been forgotten.
The people who named the days
were very simple and even rough in
their ways. They had never been told
of Christianity, but they had a GER
tain kind of religion. They felt as if
they must worship something. The
sun seemed very wonderful to them,
it gave light by day to guide. them as
they marched with floating banners
to war or launched their rude floats
on the great blue sea, it warmed
their huge, half clothed bodies; so
they worshipped the sun and named
in it's honor the first day of the week,
Sunday, a day sacred to the wonder
full sun.
As the sun watched over them by
day; so did the moon by night. They
called her the wife of the sun and
gave her the second day of the week
for her own, MONDAY, which grad
uslly became shortened into Monday.
Tyr was the Scandinavian peoples
war god. He lost his hand in a very
range manner. AS the story goes,
Tenris, a wolf spirit that tormented
all the land, could only be tanned by

PAYS ENORMOUS TAX

The following from the Anderson
Mail should open the eyes of some
people as to what some corporations
have to pay in the way of taxes and
this company is not alone in its ex-
perience.
"The farmer is not the only person
who is paying taxes, according to a
statement of Mr.. w. L. Brissey, man.
ager of the w. l.. Brissey company
made to a Daily Mail reporter who
asked him a question regarding high
way tax.
"The Brissey company has one
four-ton truck idle which would be
taxed three hundred dollars if it was
in. use. Seven two-ton trucks and five
or six small trucks and cars are IN
operation on which the company is
paying state highway tax of $50 each
OF the CTuCkS. 1 ue IOIttl tdA Polu Ny
this company on trucks and cars is
s269.95. This does not include city,
county, state or federal income tax.
City tax amounts to S60S for doing
business, he said.
Mr.. Brissey said his company had
paid taxes. to State, county, city and
government, which amounted to be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 during
1920. In other words, the tax paid
last year by the Brissey Lumber COM
pany amounted to nearly half the
capital stock which until few days
ago was $4,000.
The company also pays the feder-
al government a per cent tax on
all commodities delivered in compe-
tition with the railroads. AS deliveries
are made for radius of fifty miles,
this tax would be considerable during
the year.

From 1915 to 1920, farm labor
working by the month without board
received a gain in wage rate as high
as 115 per cent. This was given by
the department as one Of the causes
of the greatly increased cost of pro-
ducing things on the farm which has
forced the farmers more generally to
depend exclusively on themselves and
members of their families for labor
in addition to extending the use of
labor saving machinery.

FARM LABOR WAGES
REACHED HIGHEST
POINT LAST YEAR
Average Rate by the Month Was
$46.S5 With Board and $64.95
Without Board.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Wage rates
for farm labor reached their highest
point in the history of this country in
1920 as national average, according
to figures gathered by the Depart
ment of Agriculture and made public
today. The average rate for labor
hired by the month, it was shown,
was $46.S9, with board, and S64.95
without board; for day labor at har-
vest, $3.50 with board and $4.36 with
out board. For day labor other than
at harvest the scale averaged 1886.
with board, and $3.50, without board.
War conditions, it was found, had
greatly accelerated an upward move
ment of farm wage rates that began
after 1895. The rate of that year
for hirings by the month without
board was $17.69 as an average for
the United States, and no other year
in the record of the bureau extend
ing back to 1886 had a lower rate,
except 1879 with $16.42.
Began in 1916.
By 1902, this wage rate had in
creased to s22.14 by 1914 to 1888,
followed by $3O.15 in 1915, with no
evidence of war effect. This effect
appeared, the departments figures
disclosed, as a small beginning in
1916, when the wage rate was S32.83
Then followed rapid rise to $40.43
in 1917, to $47.O7 in 1918, to $500
in 1919 and to $64.95 in 1920.
The rate of gain over 1895 was 267
per cent in 1920. The gain in the
20 years from 1895 to 1915 was 10
