BADGES FOR SCOUTING

The Albany IN. V council reports
that public health and tiremanship
are two of the most popular Merit
badges among scouts. Nearly fifty
boys have qualified in public health
since October l, 1920 and forty have
qualified in fremanshlp. The author
tiles report that the intelligent inter
est taken by the boys In these inn
portant branches of public service has
had marked effect upon the life of
the city. Boys living in the more
congested regions have helped mate
rally in making their homes and
neighborhood cleaner and more sani-
tary and have brought the matter of
sanitation TO the attention of their
parents. In the course of their public
health work the scouts have inspected
the city sewage disposal and filtration
plants and visited the state labora-
tory, examining the methods of water
testing and other sanitation processes.

WHY BE A scoUT2

stew Judkins," tirst-class scout OF
Topeka, Kan, knows why he is a scout,
and makes no bones of telling the
world, either. The following state
ment appeared in local paper under
his signature:
II am boy scout because like to
be one. The longer | am scout the
better | like It, A scout learns things
and has a pile of fun learning them
You know how regular guy likes a
good swim, a good hike, fussing
around the woods, o-goodness
boy games, snagging few fish and
then eats them until he busts. That's
what you get at boy scout camp, and
YOU amt going to blame me for liking
to be boy scout. To be a regular
guy In this game, you got to play and
live according to the rules. You sure
find out what kind of a guy kid u.s.
and If he isn't what he should be, he
either gets mighty lonesome in a gang
IF scouts or comes across. I'll tell
the world I'm glad to be scout, and
| know a few hundred other guys in
Topeka who will shoot you the same

he eats chopped meat and eggs and

And now | shall translate for you
his talk-which the keeper helped me
to translate:
when I'm free" the Ant-Eater said,
my two end points are all important.
First of all | free the country of many
naughty ants. | enjoy the good work
| do. Many do enjoy work, you know
the Ant-Eater Is among them. With
my bushy tail swish up the ants and
get them together in large numbers.
But that is not the only way my
tail is useful. | use it in the hot sum-
mer time to fan myself with and to
keep off the flies that might come to
have chat on my back
you know, flies don't care where
they stop for a talk--or rest-it
might be on a persons forehead. 1t
makes no difference to them
"And my tail can also be used as an
umbrella. | can take a nap and cover
myself up with my tail and not bother
to get up for a little shower and &C

"My tail keeps the rain off my body
and | shake 1t off my tail when l

looking lizard, you should think of
me. For 1 am more important at
either end and at both ends than YOU

MY name is the Stumped-Tailed or

Three names have l and two heads
and that is as much as any creature

most important is the fact that have

little legs, and they're made just alike.
Il am from Australia, you know. If
you don't know it, you do now. This
is the most interesting thing of all.

go In either direction, forward or

change my mind | don't have to turn

Conducted by National Council OF the Boy
Scouts OF Americal
SCOUTS WIN PRAISE

At the Kansas City convention of
the American Legion a thousand or
more boy scouts from the two Kansas
cities and from independence Mo-,
acted as police for the big parade,
which attracted the biggest crowds In
the history of the city, and so splendid
~ did they do the job that the papers
wrote them up almost as enthusiast
tically as they did the Legion itself,
and the Legion voted them resolu-
ton of thanks as well as passing a
general resolution indorsing the move
ment and urging Leglonnaires TO be-
come scout leaders.
Fifty picked scouts from different
troops served as an escort to distin-
guished visitors. staff of aides to
the chief Of police and as ushers to
the reviewing stand. Nine of the fifty
were Eagles. Every day of the con
yention 20 scouts acted as aides,
ushers, and runners; rs boys every
day acted as traffic aides and had
charge, under their leaders, of parking
thousands Of automobiles; so boys
were on duty every day In the various
information booths scattered through
out the city, and carried on a regular
communication service between the
booths.
Another interesting good turn was
the drawing by Eagle Scout James N.
Pickering of the map of the city,
hundred thousand of which were
printed and distributed among the Wis
itors and delegates.
"All In ALL" says Scout Executive
Wright, in speaking of the event, 1.-The
boy scouts rendered good piece of
service" According to others the
service was more than good. 1t was
great.

Another Raise
 In the Price.
 Of Print Paper
Wartime Prices Continue for Print Paper Although All Other Commodities Are Greatly Reduced.

Just why news print, plain. white paper, should advance one dollar and ten cents per hundred pounds during the past ten days is question that newspaper men throughout the coun- try would like to have answered. If there is a reason for such a rise in price, they would like to know what that reason is. In the grain belts of the country the farmers are seeing 35-cent corn, 25-cent oats and TO- cent wheat; likewise s6 hogs prices that were commanded by farm products in the days when print paper was selling at two cents per pound.
 In the fruit growing districts of Michigan, Missouri and, in fact, of half the states in the Union, choice apples, peaches and pears are rotting in the orchards for the reason that the growers can get only forty cents per DdSket TOT lueUl, anu UdShetS cost 25 cents, leaving Is cents to pay for labor and transportation. In the cities those baskets retail to the consumer at from s25O to s4 per basket-but the consumer is not consuming now for the reason that, at the prices paid the grower. the latter cannot afford to market his fruit.
 Nearly four years have been added to the scroll of Time since the armis- tice was signed and yet many ar ticles, print paper among them, are still holding at wartime prices while farm products-on the farm are so valueless as to be liabilities rather than assets.

gain your liberty?' Who is that "our?" Why it's the booze interests. The ones who declared the country would go bankrupt, the schools would be closed, the buildings used for sa- looms would be without labor etc. etc. Why don't they tell us something about the fulfillment of these dire prophecies? Not a one of them have come true. The only thing true is that these rum sellers are bound not tc obey the law of the majority, ard they are trying to put one over on the people through the spacious plea of so many wanting beer and wine.
 Parents will not forget that the main thing for which this campaign is being waged is to get hold of the growing girls and boys. In few years the old drinkers will all have died off; if the coming generation can be given 2-34 per cent beer and wine, the booze interests which are backing this project will have crop of young people to take the places of the older ones. This is the big stake in the project and it's the item of which they will say nothing. Parents and patriots who are looking out for the welfare of their youth, and of the nation will not be duped by any spacious names or declaration. of principles.-Contrib

SUN, MOON AND STARS

Mars is the fourth planet from the sun.
 Jupiter Is the largest planet in our solar system.
 The sun, If 1t were a hollow sphere, would hold million globes as large as the earth.
 The sun Is distant from the earth 94 4,OOO 900 miles in June and 91.5OO, 900 In December.
 The light of the North Star Is esti. mated to be 19O times stronger than that of the sun.
 Although 400 times larger than the moon, the sun Is 400 times further away from the earth. making the two appear about the same size.
 A mountain on the sun, If 1t bore the same proportion to that luminary as Mount Everest does to the earth, would be GOO miles high.
 Mercury and Venus are the only planets that have no moons. Counting our own moon. the system of planets possesses no less than P moons.

Dr. Higgins Dies at
 San Diego, California

Col. D. w. Higgins, well-known oidtimer of Alaska, the first United States commissioner in ketchikan, later postmaster, prominent phJsi- clan and officer in the Spanish American war, passed away last week at San Diego, according to tel egraphic information received by the Chronicle. He was 69 years old and i is survived ouly by his widow. He had been ill for many months and had been ailing for years. Before the outbreak of the Span Iish-American war, Dr. Higgins was a practitioner in Idaho and when the hostilities started he was cOmmiss- stoned a major. He served in the Philippines with General Lawton and was with him at the time he was killed.
 Following the war he came to Alaska and when the Alaska civil code became effective, July 1, 1900. he was named by Judge Brown to be the first United States commis- sioner. He served for four years and then went to Hadley where he was the company physician. In 1909 he became postmaster of Ket- chikan and served for four years. Later he went to Craig to establish hospital. He practiced medicine at Craig and in Ketchikan until he left here a little more than a year ago in search of health. At San Diego he established a sanitarium for con- valescents but for some time sank gradually himself until he passed away.
 Col. Higgins had a host of friends in the North for during the early days of the country he played an i'm portant part in its making. -Chroni- cle.
