THE LOCAL COUNCIL

We noted in the last article in this
series that the National Council has
planned to decentralize it's work in
the Scout movement. Further effort
at decentralization has been made in
the organization of local council.
Local councils conform to some
smaller geographical unit, usually a
city or county. Sometimes a small
group of towns, suburbs outside of a
larger city, are included in such coun-
Gil organization. Strictly rural coun-
ellis are comparatively new venture
in Scouting. The Lake Region Dis
trict Council, with headquarters in
Devils Lake, is the third strictly rural
council, embracing several counties,
to be organized in the United States.
The Lake Region District Council
comprises Benson, Nelson, Pierce,
Ramsey, Rolette and Towner counties.

the vali;iaty Of their claims in court.
An action in mandamus or friendly
civil suit will be the route taken as
soon as attorneys can prepare the
case.
The meeting was partially un-
animous in this action after the situa-

angles, and while all were not con-

be made less ambiguous by the next
legislature; possibly in case the de-

made to have legislature reimburse
the farmers for at least part Of the

FOLLOWING THE.B BOY SCOUT TRAIL

Within this territory there is a total
population of 66,555, of which GO per
cent is rural. There are 1870 boys
of Scout age under the jurisdiction Of
the local council, with an average of
627 coming of Scout age each year
for the next six years.
The Lake Region council is the
fourth to be organized in North Da-
kota, other councils being located at
Fargo, Minot, both first class, and al:
Grand Forks, which is a second class
council. First class councils are those
which employ an executive full time
for the promotion of the work. Second
class councils employ an executive
but part time.
There are but five Scout councils in
Region Ten that are larger than the
Lake Region District Council. They
are Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth,
Minnesota; Yankton, South Dakota,
Minot, North Dakota.
At the present time within the
Lake Region Council there are nine
troops organized, reaching a total
of 2O5 boys.
Active promotion of the Scout pro-
gram in the Lake Region Council is
in charge of Scout Executive Leon
ard D. Fackler, who was hired by the
Executive Board of the local council.

THE REGIONAL COUNCIL

The aim Of the National Council,
Boy Scouts of America, is as far as
possible to decentralize their organza-
ton first because it seeks to be as de-
moc1 attic in operation as may bel and
second in order to avoid congestion of
detail at the national headquarters.
Therefore the organization of Regio-
ed.
For the purpose of promotion large
ly, although to some extent for the
purpose of administration, the United
States has been divided into twelve
regions, Minnesota and two Dakota
comprise what is known as Region
Ten. Scouting is supervised in these
three states by what is known as
the Regional Committee, comprising
members of the National Council re-
siding in these three states, certain
members at large, and the president
of all local Councils.
Among others on this Regional
Committee are: Charles L. Sommers,
st. Paul, j. H. Mitchell, James A.
Lowrie, Duluth, D. P. Chestnut, Far

as Regional Executive, who has head
quarters in the Old Capitol Building.

When the Region was first organic

gional Council is 100 Local Councils.

The Scout movement originated in

this country in 1910. For a while
the local units of the movement were
without a head and later three diff
ferent organizations were started ma
tionally The Boy Scouts of America

The Lone Scouts. The far-sighted
leaders saw that such competitive
rivalry would be ruinous, and later the
majority of all the local units were
gathered under one head This body
was incorporated by q special act
of Congress and United States char

ton was known as the Boy Scouts

islation protecting the same was con-
summated June Is, 1916.
The Scout movement, having the
protection of the Federal government
is the only movement that is allowed
to have uniform and insignia at al

CROWS GOING SOUTH
BY THE THOUSANDS

Farmers throughout the Lake Re-
glon are congratulating themselves
on the fact that the crows have al
ready left for the south, and will do
no more damage here until next spr-
ing. Hundreds of thousands of them
have been flying south during the
past week, tarrying only long enough
to visit the fields of corn and refresh
themselves from the sloughs and rest
up bit. There are without doubt
more crows during the summer in the
vicinity of Devils Lake than there are
to be found in any other part of the
state for the reason that they are
protected on the game reserve south
OF town where they make their nests
and prey on other birds entirely un-
molested. Farmers residing either
on the game reserve or near it suf-
fer a heavy loss each year from these
pests.

Liquor Valued at
S3,0OO,O0O Seized
Three Thousand Barrels of
Gin Held Pending Treasury
Department Ruling.

New York, March %. - Three
thousand barrels OF gin, valued by
prohibition officials at $4,000, 600,
property OF Mayer & Lage of Peoria,
ILL.,, were transferred from the steam
ship Orizaba to a customs warehouse
and detained pending the Treasury
departments decision whether it may
stored in bonded warehouse in New
York. 1t was explained that the gin
was bought by Mayer & Lage in
1919, when it was in the distillerv Of
Clarke Brothers in Peoria. The
liquor was shipped to Havana in
1920. to be disposed OF there. but
market conditions in Cuba inter-
tered with its sale and the barrels
were never opened, remaining on the
Havana docks until reshipment to
the United States was decided upon.
Provision of the Willis Campbell
act permit the gin to be brought back
to this country, the prohibition off,
cials said, and the owners obtained
permission for its return to the
Peoria distillery, which. however,
went out of business before resliip-
ment was actually accomplished.
The owners then decided to ask
permission to store the liquor in a
bonded warehouse here instead of
sending it TO Peoria on its arrival
from Havana.
