new plan will be much appreciated by
the file and will save for both tho
local and national council resources
which can be better invested along
other lines for raising the standards
of the Scout movement ara extending
its benefits to a greater number of
boys of our country. a supply of
blank scout certificates, report blanks,
etc, is being shipped on the basis out

all first class councils not later than
March I5 and before if you receive the
blanks.
Sincerely and cordially yours,

On the 2eth of February at Rock
ford. Illinois, L. H. Davisson, age 6S
years, passed on to the great beyond.
a prince among the men with whom he
had worked most of his life. For fif-
teen years previous to 1903 he was en-
ployed on The Chieftain as foreman
of the news room, and there was not
a man or woman or boy on The Chief
tain staff that did not honor, respect
and love Don" Davisson. He was n
good all-round printer, a hard worker
and a faithful, conscientious and loyal
employe-just and fair to his employer
and his fellow workmen at all times,
and with sunny disposition that al
ways saw the bright side of everything
that life had to offer. When Mr.. Dav-
isson left Pueblo he went to ranching
at Falcon, east of Colorado Springs,
and remained there with his sister.
Mrs. Major Fay Norton, until about
three years ago, when he quit the farm
and went east to visit relatives. After
visiting in Missouri and Illinois for
several months. Mrs. Norton endeav-
ored to induce him to return to Colo
RADIO, but he decided to remain east
for awhile, and at the time of his death
was working in the "ad" alley of the
Rockford Morning Star, and making
his home with his sister, Mrs. Ida &
Bradshaw. He worked all night OF
February 25, finishing his days work
at $3.50. At 3:45 he reached his home
sat down on the side of the bed in his
room and fell over. His sister heard
him come in, and when there was nc
noise coming from his room she went
to investigate and see what the trouble
was and found her brother dead. A doc
tor was summoned, but nothing could
be done-"Don' had passed on to his
reward, mourned by all who knew
him, for he was just as popular among
his fellow employees in Rockford as
he was in Pueblo.
The funeral occurred on Sunday

Well, We had some hike Friday
night. You have read OF all the hikes
the troop OF the city have been going
on. We could not stand the strain so
We went on one ourselves. We started
about $3.50 o'clck to go up the Foun-
tain a short distance for supper.
We walked and walked and walked
until we about wore our feet out
George Dotson up at the head of the
column must have been going to a fire.
l never saw a guy walk so fast or far
in my life. But he got us there before
dark which was quite an achievement
When We got there. George showed
us how to build our fire. He built his
and then sat back and laughed at us
trying to build ours.
After supper We sat around tho big
fire and told stories. After We grew
tired OF this We played some games
When wo were playing hide-and-sccls
George went out to bring in some
wood. He came back pretty soon but
when he got to the base MIR. Jennings

some hike. as every scout who went
will say.
We started about $50 Saturday

Fountain river behind tho Stearns-
Roger Manufacturing company.
There was ono boy. l will not mention
his name, who was little afraid OF
the water, but he finally got across.
We then headed for the Fountain
Lake hotel. To get there We had to go

n while since he has been in Scouting
but we think he will make good.
Summer camp was the main sub
ject discussed. 1t seems that the whole
troop is going to attend camp this
summer. We only had three members
there last summer but we are certain
of at least twelve this time.
We also are very proud of our troop
treasury. We have nearly hundred
dollars now, which will go for troop
equipment. This ought to ht us up
very well in the way of an outfit.
Speaking OF Good Turns. A Scout
is helpful! Good Turns are something
we should all be proud of. No true
Scout can be happy unless he does a
good turn to someone every day and
no true Scout eau be happy when there
are unhappy ones around him. Some
Scouts are always seeking an oppor-
tunity to do n good turn We only
have to be ready to act the part OF 4
rcal Scout when the timo comes.
