gary and, though the war stopped it's
growth for time, the movement was
reorganized and put on firm basis
in September, 1919 In its earlier
stages the Hungarian scout associa-
tion was, like the German, semi
military organization, but with it's re-
, establishment it has rejected the mil
ltary element and founded itself on
the British and American nonmilitary
basis. The dismemberment of Hun
gary was severe blow to the progress
of the movement inasmuch as more
than 80 per cent of the Magyar troops
are now in occupied territories Off
GERS, money and equipment are badly
needed. Some Of the boy scouts have
no money even to purchase shoes,
much less scout uniforms. Most of
the leaders are professional men or
clerks who have a hard enough strug
gle to earn their own living and yet
they devote time and often money to
the cause.

Hungarian old scout, that despite
hardships and sufferifgs, our scouts

In real scout spirit, follow the path
which leads to our great goal-good

The Hungarian boys are particularly
anxious to be included in the Inter
national Brotherhood of Scouts and
offer and bespeak in turn good will,
understanding and support in the
spirit Of true scouting.

ethy Perkins, and Gold OF Ophir. The
roses were planted In well-fertilized
soil and were protected from the winds
until growth was well established. In
the fall the bushes are protected by
turning a small nail keg without a
fottom over them and filing in with
earth and manure. The beauty and
fragrance of these roses tend to weld
the people more closely to their ranch
homes and thus make for more perma
nent agriculture.
In this connection 1t is well to re-
member that there is no section of the
country where roses cannot be made
to thrive, with care.

This Woman Away

There was nothing about the ap-
~pearance of a woman who entered
a store on Washington street last
night to distinguish her from the
usual run OF women born in the
Slavish belt Of Europe. That is,
nothing that would attract the at
.tentiOn Of the casual observer. But
Harry Freeland of Nor

MIS- profession, n rather keen OBJ
server and two unusual features of
tho woman's makeup struck him as
peculiar. One was mat her ears
were shamelessly exposed and the
other was that abe wore a pair OF
green earrings. So he arrested her
ion a warrant which he has been
carrying since Oct. 90, and TIE
woman admitted that she Is Mary
EGyarjai, who has been sought by
1.-The police OF Morgantown for the

According to the story told by

Ia short %courtship ensued and the
