Memorial Cabin
To Roosevelt
Aim of Scouts

II has been suggested that as
a unique memorial to. Theodore
Roosevelt the Boy Scouts light
build a cabin, which should be
the exact reproduction Of the
Elkhorn ranch house on the
banks OF the Little Missouri
River in the Bad Lands of North
Dakota in which Roosevelt lived
the life of a simple ranchman
for three adventurous, health
building years.
The idea would be to have the
replica made OF wood supplied
by thousands of different Scout
troops throughout the country
and will be erected by Scouts
under the personal supervision
Of Bill" SewalI, Roosevelt's
friend, guide and fellow ranch
man A particularly interesting
feature Of this project II carried
out as suggested will be the es-
corting Of the original corner
stones Of "ElkhoFn," the Roose-
Welt ranch home. by relays of
Scouts from North Dakota to
Oyster Bay, for use in the me-
mortal cabin The ranch house
would then be set up In the
Roosevelt Memorial Park to be
established by the Roosevelt
Memorial Association at Oyster
Bay.

A DARN SHAME.

All the time German Dizer was
mayor Of Gander Medders, at sal
airy of SAGE year, he shut his eyes
TO the backwoods condition of the
streets and roads. His platform
was against Improvements Of any
kind which. were dumfool ,extrava-
gances and the people all clapped
and said 1t was good. e.
The truth of 1t was that Mayor
Dizer had an eye to his salary and
the natives were dead sot agin

police force was enough for them.
But when the volunteer fire de-
partment aided by the ladies' aux

then learned to skid gracefully. His

began to crate on the adyisability
of better roads and streets and ere

the citizens of Gander Medders to

get an appropriation to make better
roads. EE
The people were taxed heavily.

no JOY was as his Joy, when Mayor
