Some months ago friends in anoth-

Hospital of Anderson. of which DR..
Breedin Was the founder and chief
surgeon.
He was attracted by the southern

Florida on trip of inspection. He
visited the locality in question, was
charmed by it's many attractions and
had determined to make Florida his
home. However, in the course of =
tour, he came to Lakeland. saw it's
crisp. business-like atmosphere, and
he Immediately decided that this was
the city of his choice.
DR.. Breedin, originally from
Charleston, S. c.. has been devoting
himself almost exclusively to surgery
at Anderson for many years. He op-

The subjoined letter from Superin-

Scout organization, explains Itself and
contains so fine a statement Of Scout
principles, as Well as the principles
which should govern American citi-

Lakeland, Fla, Jan. -, 1921.
Mr.. T. Stanley Hilbert,
Lakeland, Fla.
My Dear Mr.. Filbert:
In compliance with your reques.
that I, as chairman of the Court of
Honor, appoint five good men to serve
on this committee with me to worl,
with the Boy Scouts of Lakeland,
looking to BETTER citizenship twenty
years from today, l have the honor to
conform to your wish.
1t is necessary that these men have
the truest courage which is always
calm and cool and mixed with cir
cumspection. Courage of this type is
the firm resolve of virtue AMI reason
which arises from a sense OF duty.
1t is necessary that these men be
real Americans in every sense of the
word and who fully understand that
the best government is that which
most literally lets it's subjects or
citizens alone and who realize that he
governs best who governs least; who
realize that children are not so much
to be taught as trained and who real
ize that children are not always to
have their way and at the same time
must not always be thwarted who
realize that boys will be boys and,
again, that boys will be men.

CIVIC LEAGUE TO GIVE POOR
= MERRY CHRISTMAS

At the regular monthly meeting OF
the Civic league Wednesday, plans
were made for bringing Christmas
cheer into the homes Of the needy Of
Little Falls. It was decided to appeal
to the people Of the city to help in
this by giving articles Of clothing and
toys, same to be left with the visiting
nurse at her office in the Central school
building, before Dec. 20.
The membership drive was postponed
until after the holidays, also the annual
meeting.
The league decided to ask the mayor
not to permit any Tag Days except the
annual Civic league tag day. This
year, there were two other tag days,
for the high school and the bathing
beach, and the directors felt that they
were largely responsible for the fall
ing off in receipts the last Civic league
Tag Day.
Three cases were referred to the
county child welfare board for inves-

LAST TEST WELL

WILL FURNISH 100000 GALLONS

Little Falls is assured of an ade

is the good word given out by the
Pillsbury Engineering Company Of
Minneapolis, which concern was ra7
Gently engaged by the city council to
supervise the sinking Of a test well.
Drilling has been ordered suspended as
the engineers are positive that they
have struck just the spot that they
want. a. Z,
The test we'll that has proved good
one is located on the old lumber yard
property on the East side, atsthe end
Of Second street northeast and about
400 feet from the Mississippi river.
The drilling was done by w. L. Manley
Of this city. The test we'll is 66 feet
deep, with 50 feet Of water and 40 feet
Of water gravel, tests show. The es-
timated flow from the well is l,5OO
gallons per minute or more than two
mllnon gallons every twenty-four
hours. A million gallons is sufficient
to supply Little Falls. 80
Samples Of the water were sent to
the Pillsbury Engineering Company s
office in Minneapolis and they submit
ted same to the university for chemical
analysis but as yet no report has been
received on the purity Of the water. A
test Of the water for hardness indicat-
ed that it was about the same as river
water here, which is very satisfactory.
II. G. Lykken Of the Pillsbury Com
pany will come to Little Falls next
Monday to meet with the council that
evening and make recommendation. He
is expected to- suggest that the city put
in one big well, about l6 feet in dia-
meter and about 40 feet deep.
The finding Of sufficient water sup
ply in the old mill yard at this time
proves the contention Of many that
the drill used by the Layne-& Bowler
Company in sinking test wells was too
light and that when they thought they
had struck solid hedge in the same
vicinity, it was but boulders.

LITTLE BOYS SAVED
FROM DROWNING
SONS OF CHAS. AND GEO. MOEG
LEM FELL IN RIVER BE-
Low DAM

Two little boys, Charles Moeglein,
5-ycar-old son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Moegiein, and John Moeglein, .4-year-
old son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Moeglein,
Jr., had a narrow escape from drown
ing in the Mississippi river below the
dam Wednesday noon, while playing.
Had it not been for the fact that they
were wearing clothes which kept them
afoat until others who were in the vi
cinity could reach them, they would no
doubt have gone to watery grave,
The little boys left home at about
1880 a. m, taking their sleds along.
They played along the river bank near
Maple island for little while and fin
ally, they left their sleds on the bridge
to the island and John started out on
the ice. It seems that he did not see
the open water ahead and he walked
right off the ice. Charles started out
to rescue him but he lost his balance
and also fell in. Their cries attracted
two older boys, Harry Roberts and
John Miller, who rushed to their aid
R. D. Musser, who was on his way
home to lunch, also heard their cries
and rushed down there. Charles Moeg-
lein was near the edge of the opening
and Miller, who had an axe, reached 1T
out and the boy grabbed it and was
pulled out. To rescue John Moegleln,
it was necessary for Roberts to crawl
out and with the aid of a long branch
pull him in, Messrs. Musser and Miller
holding onto Robert s feet from nearer
to the shore.
The boys were rushed to their homes
and given immediate care to prevent
any Ill effects from the cold bath. John
Moeglein was in rather weakened
condition but no serious results are
anticipated.
Parents should caution their chill
dren not to venture out on the ice on
the river here, especially below the
dam, at this time, as the ice is very
thin and even above the dam, does not
exceed six or eight inches in thickness.
