The Herald wants to know. If a majority of the Scouts in this town want the Scout page to be printed Friday, then The Age-Herald will do 1t. But the vote must be pretty wide in order to get good slant on the question.
 The Age Herald Is leaving it en- tirely up to the boys. Already Horace Mcknight, troop scribe and presi dent of Troop 52, says he wants the page Friday.
 Send Vote.
 Write, wire, telephone in, and get your vote here.
 The Age-Herald changed the page to Sunday thinking that the Scouts would prefer it.
 But too much howl has been raised How do you register?
 Don't fail to mail your vote in Otherwise we can't know what you want.
 Here is Horace's letter. by the way. Read it, He is only ons of many who are "Sicking:"

put on Friday it marked almost 8 new age. It made the news com paratively fresh, although & week old.
 Then little agitation was started and the page was changed to Sunday. l am convinced that the agitators were looking on the wrong side Per sonally l look at it as scribe for troop of scouts. When the page was on Friday the news was fine and crisp, but now it will be as dry as the Sahara desert. At present some news must be nine. days old when 1t appears in print
 Eager for Vote.
 Couldn't it be arranged to find out just how the boys stand on this? Every scout who wants it on Friday let it be known in print. Let troops vote on the question and send re- suits to print. I am sure that the Scout Editor will be glad to cooper ate in the matter, and to change the date of the page is a simple matter for the typesetters.
 Let us see just who Is in favor and who is against the Friday page. Don't delay a day.

 Children Pathetic
 When the Muscoda chaps began 10 carry the provisions in the house, it was pitiful to see the little ones gather around at the beautiful sight
 There was a pile of good plain eats, and enough to tide over for good while.
 The boys were much praised for their work along the help one an- other" plan, and Scout Master Chip ley has been asked by them to thank the donors in the case.
 For. besides aiding the blind mans family, there was enough stuff 10 divide, and Rev. Claude Anderson lent his truck that it might be taken to a second needy family.
 The Muscoda troop has been or- ganized since August 20, 1920, It has it's own individual camp, known as Camp Chekota, where the troop members have erected one large 45- foot log cabin and three smaller ones. They have built a bridge across Shades creek 100 feet long; have constructed two boats, and sunk a well in hard rock 35 feet deep. The troop has one of the fin-' est locations for a camp in the state.

 Out to See Him
 Arriving in the vicinity of Ensley and Pratt City the whistles began to chatter a noisy welcome from every tower; and through the woods came tearing all sorts of little skeleton like scouts.
