SCOUT WORK AT PUEBLO.

! If ever scouts had an opportunity to
test out their power to live up to their
motto BE prepared" Is was during
the terrible period Of the Pueblo flood
last summer, when practically every
scout and scoutleader within the dis
trlct was on duty night and day in
the service Of the stricken community.
AS sooTas 1t was clear that the flood
was threatening to be serious mat
ter, Scout Executive AlversOn got as
many older scouts and Scoutmasters
as he could muster together, and plans
for immediate action were made. In
addition to many phenomenal feats
of life-saving the boys served us mes
Sengers, established wireless booths in
canteens and supply stations, even in
the mOrgue itself; built, emergency
bridges and worked On the temporary
lorries; opened their own headquar-
tiers for many refugees, found homes
safe drinking water, shoveled mud, de-
livered posters and prOclamations for
the board of health Indeed, there was
almost no end, to the work the valiant
lads were willing and able to tackle
In the face of the disaster. ~. -.
On the east side the scouts took
complete charge Of the Western Union
stations, a dangerous service, as a
foot-bridge was the only means of get
ting across the river for several days.
The kilograms wers'carried across the
bridge by scouts EanI the number Of
messages carried was an enormous one,
as can we'll be Imagined. -.~.%
Most Of the rkscge work on the part
of scouts was. done in the lowest por-
lions of the city. where the risk was
greatest and many spectacular tale
of lffe-saving is recorded. Scoutmas-
fer Cary met his death in attempting
TO save the lives OF two women in q
floating house, his boat being violently
dashed against Il steel lamp-post. The
boys themselves We're in constant dan
ger, but no one of them ever turned
back from the task in hand, from any
considerations Of personal safety or
well-being. Though many weeks have
passed since the disaster, Pueblo is
still talking about her scouts and their
amazing and heroic service in the ter
rible hour. u,

SCOUTING IN SCHOOLS.

1t has long been matter of COM

Known in how many of the best pri-
vate schoels,"pf the country, the move
ment is established and operating Sue
cessfully to the mutual betterment OF
both the school and scouting. =,
Schools which foster scouting among
the pupils in their midst are Greenwich
academy, Peddie, Blair, Bordentown
Military institute, Perkiomen, etc. The
president Of one Of the largest -mili-
tary academies in the East recently
made the following interesting state
meht: r.,
1--WE always. have sixty and some,
times more students of the schools
who have come to use from boy scout
organizations throughout the country.
We find them to be our best boys,
and we have always tried to encour-
age them to keep their affiliations
with their home organizations. There
always has been a strong pressure on
the part Of these boys to have an or
'ganization here. Therefore, with the
opening of the September term, wish
to organize a thorough-going unit.
Amongst our teachers there are al
WAYS several who have been scout
masters, and ave wish to- avail our
selves of their training, making them
leaders of the movement fhere,a This
organization would be an entity sep
arate from our regular military or
SganiZation, and in relations to the
school would be somewhat like our
fraternities, Y. NJ. G.. AS, etc. We
would give them quarters and stilnu-
late them by rewards, etc"

n The war demand drew heavily upon
the black-walnut timber supply. The
condition became alarming, as it was
recognized that unless there should
! be decrease in the cutting, the mer-
charitable trees would soon be gone.
/ Fortunately, however, the war ended
before the larger trees entirely disap-
peared. Now reaction is setting In.
Black walnuts are being planted in
small numbers by many persons, direct
ly in harmony with the policy advo-
Gated by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.
: A conspicuous instance Of planting
occurred near Saginaw, Mich. Last
fall, w. S. Linton, president of the
/ Northern Nut Growers association
procured 30 bushels Of walnuts from
trees at the home of George Washing

shipped to Saginaw and in the main
distributed among the school children

When it became known that these
nuts were available for planting, very
keen and widespread interest in them
developed. Telephone calls for them
were numerous. AutOmoblists drove
for many miles to call in person. Since
then, enthusiastically attended meet
ings have been held in various places
in the state to consider the question
of black walnut tree planting along
the highways. The suggestion is made
that in view Of the known differences
Of hardness existing in many species
of native trees. special care should be
exercised to avoid extensive planting
of nuts or trees from the warmer por-
tons of the country in sections where
destructively low temperatures are oc-
casionally experienced.
Doubtless the safest rule to observe
in the North is to plant nuts from
trees that have attained good size and

Race of Toothless Men in India.

In the Hindu Anil community Of
Hyderabad Sind, in India, there has
been found a type of men who have
no teeth. These men are further
characterized by bald head and an
extreme sensitiveness to heat. They
are known as "Bhudas,' which lit
orally means "toothless." The fol-
lowing facts have been learned about
them:
When such man Ca "Bhuda") mar
ries normal girl having both par
ents free from these defects, all the
children. both male. and female. are
apparently normal--that is to say, ap-
parently free from the defect.
When the females marry normal
males. their female children are ap-
parently normal, while the male chill
dren are "Bhudns.'

less man has married ,the daughter Of

DORSEY'S COTTON
BANK CHARTERED

ATLANTA, Jan. IA new mil
lion dollar banking enterprise was
formed here Tuesday when Secre-
tary of State, S. G. McLendon, an
proved the application and signed the
order granting charter to the Geor-
gia Cotton Trust company.
This is the banking enterprise
which has for some time been in pro-
cess of formation under the guild
ance of Governor Hugh NJ. Dorsey
and others, and the issue today of its
charter is the first step in the final
arrangements for throwing the new
institution open for BUSINESS.
The charter granted is for an in
stitution with $1,000,000 capital
stock, the privilege being extended
of doubling that amount, a substan
tial portion of which already has
been subscribed and actually paid
in.
The application for charter,
which is signed by Governor Dorsey
and others, fixes the principal place
of business in Atlanta, and also gives
authority to establish branches in
otH0t CltlSS anu IoHHS. meeting
of the shareholders will be held in
Governor Dorsey's office at the State
Capitol Jan. 4 for the purpose of
accepting the charter and perfeeting
organization.
1t is taken for granted the COVER
nor will be named president of the
concern, since it was through his eff
forts the new bank has been made
possible. 1t is designed particularly
to cater to, foster and aid the agri-
cultural development of the state
and, as the name implies, is par!icu-
/ larly designed as banking institu-
ton for the cotton growers. 1t is
not intended TO be local in any re-
spcct, but to be statewide in its
scope and operations.

REVIVAL SERIES
TOOPEN FEB. 6
DR.. T. D. Ellis To Preach,
Wisdom Sisters To
Sing

Rev. Guyton Fisher, pastor of the
FIRST Methodist church, announced
today that a series of revival serv-
ices will begin in that church Febru-
arv 6 and continue two weeks.
DR.. 7. D. Ellis, pastor of Mulber-
ry Methodist church, Macon, will
conduct the services. DR.. Ellis has
been heard frequently in Americas,
and possesses a forceful presentation
which carries conviction into the
hearts of his hearers. There will be
no spectacular sermons, but the mes
sages will be along the sweet and
simple tenets of deep religious fer
vor. He is borther of Col. G. r.
Ellis, of Americas.
A musical feature connected with
the series of services, and one which
will be greatly appreciated by the
people of Americas, will be the par
iciuation in the service of the Wis
dom sisters who come from Macon,
Missouri, and who have delighted
large congregations throughout the
West and South. Recently they
were heard in both the North and
South Georgia conferences, and their
rendition of spiritual songs brought
home forcibly to the hearts of the
people the messages conveyed by the
evangelists. They will have charge
of the song services.

IN VAIN FOR PACK
OF HUNTING DOGS

NALDOSTA, Jan. 12.-Because
Of the failure of their dogs to ar
rive in time to catch the Ever
glsdes Special, the DeForest hunt
ing party which has been on Mr..
DeForest's hunting preserve near
Pinetta for about ten days, had to
get a special train to make the
trip from Valdosta to Jesup Sun
day afternoon.
The dogs were loaded on a truck
ut the hunting lodge and started
for Valdosta. En- route it became
disabled. The party was in Val
l9sta waiting for the arrival of the
dogs and the Everglade Special ar
rived from the West. The train
was held here about half an hour
waiting for another truck to bring
in the dogs, but they were delayed
longer and the train could not be
held.
Mr.. DeForest's private car, the
Guadalupe, was detached from the
train and left here. AS soon as
the dogs arrived they were taken
on board and the locomotive from
freight train was commander
ed and attached to the special car
and started on its journey to Jesup-
where connection was made with
the through train for New York.
Mr.. DeForest is vice-president
of the Southern Pacific railroad
and with him were ]. Harding, C.
Watson, H. Weeks and H. Per-
kins, all from New York, and
prominent business men.

time Nick grabbed the other two.
Then they pulled the covers clear off
the bed, never letting go their hold.

Nick severely, cor we'll shake YOU
up" Wasp lay very still and never
let on he heard That settled it.!
Such a blanket tossing as the rascal
got, he'll never forget, I'm sure, nor
the lesson either,
And the charm Jumped right out of
his mouth with the jolting.
Nancy grabbed it and tucked it
away safely and the Twins departed.
