Questions for THE WIZARD
In view Of all the circumstances. the
EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER deferentially
ventures to put before the Imperial
Wizard the following brief question
nairp:
First. Did the imperial scholar. who
once was professor of Southern history
at Lanicr University. not know that
Holland wrote God Give Us Mem"
Second. Did the imperial author Of
several copyrighted works have such
slight acquaintance with the code of au-
thorShip as not to know the unwritten
law which Compels full acknowledgment
of the source of borrowed ideas or pas
sageS?
Third. Did the Emperor of the mys-
tical empire suppose that by changing
two words in the first line. spelling the
rhyme of the first couplet and appending
six lines to Hollands property, he had
created an original production OF his
own?
Fourth. Does Colonel" Simmons
claim that this is merely another of
those awkward cases of sub conscious
and identical cerebration?

The snow removal problem Is OF In

by insistent and angry demands that
all roads be Immediately opened for
traffic. Sometimes an attempt to
open all roads for immediate use by
automobiles after exceptional snow
storms, might cripple the county or
township road funds for the entire
year. 1t costs money and lots of II
to remove snow, so the road official
must use the best judgment as to just
how far he can go, always keeping in
mind, however, that no road should
be allowed to remain entirely closed
TO traffic for any undue length Of time.

BOY

Conducted by National Council of the
Boy Scouts OF AmericaD
SCOUT FIRE FIGHTERS

Twenty six Cashmere (Wnsh.) boy
scouts, with their leaders, started In a
big truck for an overnight camp, an
all day trip which landed them In the
beautiful Squakane creek valley ut
nightfall. They erected their shell
ter tents, had big feed" and
jolly campfire pow-wow. Short
ly after taps scout reported
fire visible down the canyon.
In less than 80 seconds the troop was
in formation ready for action, The
Red Cross patrol under Senior Patrol
Leader Gall Phillips was sent down
the canyon with instructions to leave
two scouts ut the sawmlll a mile
away, another two at another point,
etc, 80 that as soon as the FIRE was
located Q message could be relayed
back to camp. Meanwhile two other
patrols were equipped for FIRE fighting,
and special orders given.
A few minutes later two boys Of the
first patrol brought back word that
1t was the mill which was on fire, and
that they had left the other six scouts
in the thick of II. One of the assist
ant scoutmasters and few scouts
were left to guard the camp, as 1t was
surrounded by valuable tin Ner which
might catch fire.
Scoutmaster Chichester and Assist
ant Braggons arrived at the scene Of
the disaster In short time with an
eager squad of workers. The few
men I'm charge at the mill had about
given up hope of saving anything from
the flames, but the boys formed
bucket brigade from nearby creek
to the lumber piles, and by means of
wet sacks put out new fires, which
kept starting, while another crew
wrecked the high tramway which was
acting as fuse and leading the fire
from pile to pile of lumber. BY 2
n. m. the fire was under control The
mill and large amount of lumber
had been destroyed but thanks to the
efforts Of the scouts, two buildings,
some furniture, two or three heavy
wagons, and over 100000 feet of lum-
Der, some $4,000 worth In all, were
saved. A weary but triumphant lot
of boys hlked back to camp, leaving
two Of their number to patrol the fires
until daylight. They did not climb the
mountain the next day, as had been
planned, but nobody was disappointed,
as the troop had had enough thrills
and hard work for one outing.
The work OF the scouts received
much well deserved praise, and the
president of the lumber company
whose property they had saved pre-
scented the troop with $50 check in
appreciation Of the remarkable good
turn, gift that was accepted with
the understanding that the money
would be used 10 purchase needed
equipment.
