BOY SCOUTS HAVING AID 0F NATURALIST

The Boy Scouts of America who are encamped in the Payson neigh borhood are indebted to the Water Users. through General Manager Cragin. for the use of the association telephone and also to Forest Super visor Goddard. who has done every thing possible for their convenience. Mir. Cragin has allowed them the use of the associations telephone line from Roosevelt to Phoenix and Mir. Goddard has not only allowed them all the telephone facilities within the control of the forestry reserve but he has installed a telephone at their commisary. so that connections can be made with the camp from any of the telephones located throughout the forest
 And that is not all. He has caused fine spring in the vicinity to be boxed so that the water may be piped to the Boy Scouts camp. And still that is not all. He has detailed for the instruction of the scouts, and 1t is instruction they are after. forest ranger who is more than a ranger. q naturalist. He isS Bleaching them all about camping. the construction of fire brakes and all the tricks that campers ought to know. He is telling them things about animals that they never heard of before
 They are also learning from him about hunting. so that they will know what kind of a game they are fol- lowing. They probably would know the footprints of bear without in- struction. but there are other smaller footed animals which the uninitiated might follow in ignorance of the character of the animal There are being shown to the boys the ffnt points of difference between the foot print of a coyote, a mountain Hon, the ordinary wildcat and the bobcat and 4he porcupine.

To the editor;

To the editor:
 TEey was a man out to the house the other day that is different than most people on acct. of haveing some thing to say besides how to make gin and how hot it gets in summer and etc. and this man was in jokeing mood and begin talking about death and he says he was not scared Of dying itself but he hated to not be here 50 or 100 yrs. from now and see what the world will be like then as it made him sore to think that they would be a whole lot of improve ments and etc which he wouldn't be here to enjoy them.
 So I made the remark that I did not believe things could be improved much more as they are pretty near perfect all ready and about all the changes would be few minor inn provements the same like those which has took place in the last 50 yrs. For inst. when l was a young man it was vs- the rules for a per- son to mention the word underwear in the presence of the opp. sex and you had to pretend that what people wore between their skin and their overcoat was a kind of mystery.
 And in them days also the word devil was too rough and when you
 
 call him the dickens or Lucifer. Now days some of the best people speaks of the devil and their under clothing without a quaver and I have even wrote a couple of pieces with the words h--l and d--n in them and seen them come out in the paper that way instead of hades and darn.
 The word fool is another that has came into gen. usages but in my boy hood days it wasn't never used be- cause a person that said it was sup pose to be in danger O, h-l f-e.
 Room to Advance
 So I says that the next 50 yrs. would probably see few more steps forward along these lines but out side of couple minor details the old world would be going along about the same as at the present writeing and l thought a man was pretty much of a crab if he was not per fectly satisfied with haveing lived in the age in which we are liveing which I have nicknamed it the won der age.
 So he asked me what did I mean by wonder age and where was the wonders. and I said I was surprised that a bright man like he could no answer that question for himseli and personly I have kept kind oi

 We have already counted the disappearance of dozen peaches by each and the devastation is still go ing Now and then the hands of the boys accumu- late thick layer the sticky juice But that sions only momentary discomfort. The hands wiped denim overalls and the assault upon the bag of salvaged peaches is renewed.
 Oh. for the imagination and the stomach of youth! To the first everything rosy; latter all things dgestible. It knows nothing of pto- maines and cares even less What are sticky hands and hair to these boys? plunge in the canal, if they cannot afford luxurious at Riverside will all the cleanliness they need to make them presentable to themselves. And what is sary? If one is satisfied with himself what if the whole world disapproves?
 Just above these boys noisily hammering nails into roof. There's no fun in that in the blazing August though it is the same sun that shines down upon this quartet impervious to discomfort. So full are they joy-and getting so full of peaches-that there is room for discomfort
 But for men. the the roof all of us we live in the past and held to the present only by stern necessity.

NEGROES DRIVEN OUT

Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept. 49,
The negro population Of Montlake
d mining village on Walden's Ridge,
20 miles from here, was driven out
of that community by infuriated
white residents this afternoon and a
number of shots were fired, accord

could be learned as the negroes did
not make a defense.
The trouble is said to have come
after the shooting of Edna Barnett,
12-year-old white girl, and three
younger sisters by negro girl in a
dispute of long standing over the use
of spring. Edna Barnett, who was

Shelton, construction foreman at Orr

gone to the front of the house, and
when they heard the report of a pis-

in a pool of blood. He had fired
80 caliber ball through his head. No
reason for the rash act can be given
as Mr.. Shelton had not seemed in
the least depressed. ..

Kathlene, aged 10. His sisters are:

REPORT NOT RECEIVED

Those Who Do Not Respond.
Columbia, Sept. 15.-The State
Department of Education has not yet
received the annual reports from
county superintendents of education
in eight counties. Under the law, these
reports were due September 1st. The
withholding of such reports delays
the statistical and tabular work Of
the state superintendent's office.
These reports are still due from
Abbeville, Darlington, Florence,
Greenville, Orangeburg, Lexington,
Richland and Spartanburg. The new
session is beginning in many schools.
The organization of the work for the
scholastic year 1922 will be in
evitably handicapped both by the
lack of records for last year and by
the crowding together of tasks that
might have been completed long ago.

FIELD COLLECTORS COVER.
ED EVERY LARGE CITY In
ENTIRE COUNTRY.

Washington, Sept. 15.-Collec
ton of approximately $4,000, ,o0t
in delinquent and additional sale.
and miscellaneous taxes by the gov
ernment as result of the specia
drive ending September 8 was an
nounced today by Commissione,
Blair. The drive in which 1876 fielc
collectors were engaged, he sale
covered practically every large city
in the country and special attention
was given to the so-called 'luxury
tax" taxes on soft drinks, theatre
admissions and transportation.
"The results Of the drive were
eminently satisfactory" Mr.. Blair
said. Prior to government invention,
hundreds amended returns showing
additional taxes due were filed. Few
attempts at deliberate fraud were
discovered.
ut is recognized that in the max
ing of monthly returns, mistakes are
apt to occur and where there is an
honest error on the part Of the tax
payer, no penalty accrues.
"While, from the preliminary re-
port, it is believed such action be
necessary in only isolated cases, evi-
dences Of fraud discovered in the
final checking up Of returns will be
followed by prosecution.
"1n this connection, tax dodgers
may take warning by the Jail SEN
tence recently imposed upon Joseph
Schwartz and Harry Sultzer, for
manufacturers Of New York City.
""Schwartz and Sultzer were in
dicted for knowingly and willfully
refusing to account for and pay over
to the collector of internal revenue
the excise tax on articles manufac-
tured by them. Investigation by the
bureau showed they had incurred in
1919 a tax liability of s1447 and in
1920 a tax liability of $9,991. Both
men pleaded guilty and were fined
$10O each and sentenced to 80 days
in the tombs. F.,
'In similar cases of deliberate
fraud, it will be the policy of the
bureau to urge the imposition of ex-
treme penalties. This is the only
course possible in justice to the man
who honestly pays his share of the
common levy"
