BIG LEAGUE VET WITH KID

Another veteran of the big tops, who was among the best when he was in his prime, is Bob Bescher. Bob admits that he has seen quite few calendars sprout, mature and wither away, but says he has number of good years left in his system yet. Bob holds down the sun parlor job on the Little Rock cub and says that he, too, has not yet gotten in condition, as he has just joined the club. q told the Kid to stick me in there and let me get sore" said Bob, "as that is the only way I'll ever reach conCition.
 Bescher S first stop, after he left the majors, was the American as- sociation, where he spent several years. He came to the Little Rock outfit from the Columbus club of that league.

 Pie Traynor's speed fits in well with the speediest ball club in the Dixie major. The boy stole 20 bases, while member of the Portsmouth, Virginia League club, last season. Probably the reason they call him Pie is that he is such sweet infieIder.
 Jack McC1ain, the boy with the tenor tinted tonsils, has made quite a hit as announcer at Rick wood. The stunt to announce each batter as he co:nes to the plate has made hit with the fans, and Jack will probably be on duty in

this should prove popular. The

BOY SCOUTS TO
SECURE CHARTER
Organization pf 4 RatFol and 4
Junior Patrol Effected; Has
the Endorsement Of Some of
the Leading Men of This City.

On M opday night few repre-
sentative men met at the home OF
S. G. Hamlin to consider ways to
revive the Boy Scout movement
here. Ii was decided to petition
the head of the organization in
Washington, D. @. for a charter
and to select few boys for the
organization of Patrol aud Jun
ior group of boys. Later, as the
work progresses, additional patrols
may be added.
Here in this city we have ex-
ceptional opportunities to provide
the boys with real scout work.
1t is but step to reach the woods,
the trails and streams there to OBJ
serve the wild life that city boys
can only see by spending time and
money to reach.
This year, when the schools
closed earlier than usual, is an ex-
ceptioral year for the boys and
girls. They should have some d.
rect diversion, such as the Scout
movement gives, that will be of
educational value as well as re-
creational.
1t isexpected that the Boy Scout
uniforms and membership will soon
be mark of distinction to the
wearer here. 1t is hoped the Boy
Scouts will soon be of use in help
ing the interests of the city, by di-
recting strangers, watching fer
forest fires, learning and observing
the rules of conduct which tend
toward good citizenship. for the
boys of this city are the hope of
the city.

HOLDS MIRROR
TO THE CAPITAL
Interesting Extract From an
Article in Kansas City Star
Describing the Varied Activi-
ties of Mrs. Henry w. Keyes,
Sister of DIR. James Undcrhill.

Many people in Idaho Springs
are familiar with the name of
Frances Parkinson Keyes, con-
tributor to the Atlantic Monthly,
Good Housekeeping and other
magazines, and author of The
Old Gray Homestead" Mrs. Keyes
is the sister of DIR. James Under
hill. Regarding her the Kansas
City Star of recent date says:
THE wife of Senator Henry W.
Keyes of New Hampshire was fa-
miliar to readers of periodicals as
the author of semi political essays
and Of novels which treat inti-
mately of New England rural life
several years before she became
part of Washington's official cir
Gle. It was in recognition Of this
literary work and of that part
which pertained to the hoinely ex-
istence of the countryside that the
degree of doctor of letters was con-
ferred on her last February by
George Washington university.
r. Mrs. Keyes is at present writing
a series of letters dealing with So
cial aud political events at the
capital, form IF literature which
offers a wide field and which at
tracts hordes Of readers. Mrs,
keyes acknowledges tsit in these
she il realizing something which
has filled her mind since her early
married years, when she felt the
loneliness of life on a remote farm,
even with all the ties which en-
dear an environment, a devoted
husband, fine boys and a homo
which realized all her ideals.
Mrs. Keyes was one of the fer
vent supporters of the Sheppard
Towner maternity bill, and she
believes implicitly in its potential
value. Italy she says, lis the
only country which has increased
its population since the war be-
cause for many years the smallest,
most obscure hamlet has had it's
corps of trained visiting nurses,
and has them in sufficient numbers
to be practical
Mrs. Keyes presents a many
sided aspect, for she is literary vet
domestic, fond of club life, yet al
ways finding time for home and
for the exacting obligations which
come to woman who is important
herself and at the same time the
wife OF a prominent senator, who
has also been governor of his
state"

The man bringing in the most

for each member brought in the
order during that time. The man
who secures new member will
not only be helping out the order
but will be given one dollar for his

1t looks like a pretty generous
proposition, and worth working
for. 1t is expected that the mem
bership will be greatly increased,
and it is the aim of those interested
to secure the forty new members
and get the gold jewels. This
should not be hard thing to do
if each member will make an eff.
fort to do his part.
