Scout Troops Reorqanize

A meeting of the reorganized Boy
Scouts was held at the scout building
Tuesday, which was attended by a
large troop of scouts, who were en-
Enthusiastically interested in keeping up
the organization. Mr.. P. H. Schaller,
the life insurance man, has been
secured to act as scout-master for
the boys, and with some military train
ing he is well equipped for the task.
There is quite debt against the
scout building, moneys due the bull
ders and others for material furnished
when the building was turned into a
scouts hall. The scouts are prepar-
ing to put on play at the opera
house some time in February, and
will shortly ask the support of citi-
zens for this and other entertainments
which they purpose putting on in the
near future.
An offer has been received by the
scout commissioners to lease the
building for ether purposes and thus
secure money to pay off the indebted
ness, but this will not be done if the
scouts show an active interest in meet
ing the obligation before them. The
boys should receive the moral and f.
nancial support of the community in
their undertaking.
