effort has requested President
Harding to issue an executive
order making it mandatory for
department heads in the govern.
ment to appoint ex, service men to
positions for which they have
qualified under the civil service
rules.
The civil service rule now places
a veteran at the top of the eligible
list if he passes his civil service
exams with a rating of IS per cent
or better. The appointments are
made by selection OF one of the
three highest eligibles, thus the
highest eligible may be a veteran,
but he may not get the job.
The legion wants him to get it,
and hence has asked the president
for an order to make sure that he
will get it.

a very great success and very much
appreciated by the chancellor.
He made very fitting speech,
thanking bis friends for what they
had done for him and assuring
them that they would always have
a warm place in his heart. He
also, at the close of his court, made

GROWING MORE BOLD
IN MAKING BOOZE
Officers Seem POwerless in
Bringing Offenders Under
Force Of Law

Sheriff W. r. Wright and Dep.
uties Jim Smith and Luther Mincy,
Henderson county officials, had
the good luck Saturday afternoon
about 3 o'clock to find a running
wildcat still in the old Eigh.
teenth district, in the north corner
of Henderson county, with about
twenty gallons Of whisky, 300 gal
ions Of beer and eight barrels fer
mentors.
The outfit, except the still. cap
and worm, were destroyed on the
spot, but the articles named were
taken to Lexington BY the officers.
Two men were seen making their
getaway.
The "wild-catters" in Hender-
son county, like those in Carroll
county, seem to be growing more
bold in the making and disposing
Of booze. It is claimed that there
are a large number of stills being
operated in these counties, and in
Carroll especially it seems that the
officers are bluffed or, to say the
beast of it, are powerless to
bring the offenders under the
froce of the law.
The time has arrived when the
good people of Carroll county
should organize themselves into
law enforcement leagues and put
an end to a traffic that is proving
so hurtful to the moral, business
educational and religious standing
of the county.

SCOUTS, OFFICIAL FIREMEN

In Stamford, Conn.,, boy scouts are
drilled TO assist the police in boiling
back crowds at fires. They also make
inspections of the schools and report
TO the fire department the condition
of fire escapes, fire eXtinguiSherS, fire
doors, hose ana alarms, and how long
it takes to get the children out of the
school building in fire drills. They ae-
lively assist in fighting forest fires un-
der the direction of the fire depart
ments After having attained second
class rank, a Stamford boy scout
may take an examination, which, il
satisfactorily met, entities him to re-
ceiye a certificate signed by the chief
of the fire departments, the fire marshal
and the scout executive. This GER
titicate makes him formally member
of the fire department, which may call
upon him for service in time of emer
gency.
All Blackstone Valley, r. l., is also
to have boy scouts as regular fire de-
partment aids. Scouts are to be ill.,
structed in fire fighting and proven
ton, and will be so modified as to
be ready for action at a given signal
when their assistance is required.
From the other side of the map, too,
comes the report that in Cordova,
Alaska, a boy scout troop is to coop
crate with the local fire department
and will use a fire station for meet
ing place and gymnasium.
