show that they were fully as low
here as in other places. One cloth
ing merchant told of a number of
coats which he had Kept on hand
for some time and had been unable
to move. A buyer for a cut price
store in Boston called at the store
and bought up his stock of these
coats at an advance upon his whole
sale price but below his retail price.
Some time later, a resident of this
city coming into the store wore
coat of the same style and started
Dragging about it. This gentleman
proudly asked the clothing man to
guess what he paid for his bargain.
and where he got 1t. To his great
surprise, the clothing man not only
named the price. but also told him
in what store he bought it, and when
he expressed his wonder, he was
shown the label, which was still in
the coat and which bore the name of
the local dealer. This little trans
action added a dollar or so to the
price of the coat, and the reputation
which the store in Boston bore was
enough to sell it at the advanced
price.
1t was the concensus Of opinion
that the city of Augusta carried as
good a selection Of articles at as, rea-
sonable a price as any other city in
the State.
This being the case, the campaign
would get this idea to The people of
this city and Of the surrounding
towns and keep the money which is
now in this city here instead Of
sending it to some mail order house
which pays nothing to us in return.
The meeting was presided over by
President F. L. Hersey and upon
motion by one of the members he ap-
pointed a committee of five men,
bers to get together and decide upon
plan for this campaign. This COM
mittee was composed of Myron Davis,
Warren Malcolm, George Ellinwood,
George c. Clarke and D. w. Adams
and will report at the meeting which
is to he held in April.

AUGUSTA MERCHANTS DISCUSS
PLAN TO ACQU Amt CITIZENS
With BENEFITS OF HOME BUYING

A group Of members of the Cham
Der of Commerce met Wednesday at
the dining room of the Hotel North
for a discussion of two important
questions. These questions were re-
garding what the Merchants Bureau
should decide to do about BUY in
Augusta" campaign and if they
should Cooperate with TIE Colonial
theatre in joint advertising project.
After fine meal had been disposed
of. the Joint advertising project was
first explained by Joseph D. SAILS
bury, manager of the Colonial the
atre. His plan was to publish a lit
tie magazine weekly which should
contain theatrical news and business
news together with the advertise.
ments of the various merchants in
Augusta. This magazine would be
distributed about the city by boys
until the public should get acquaint-
ed with 1t and after that there would
be demand for 1t which would al
low it to be mailed.
After this plan had been thorough
ly discussed. it was agreed that the
IicICudHlS bureau WOutQ give MT.
Salisbury permission to solicit the ad-
vertisements and leave the members
to determine individually the advis-
ability of doing their advertising in
this magazine.
The other matter that of BUY in
Augusta" campaign, was discussed at
length by the members, who hoped
by this plan to bring to the attention
Of the people the fact that money
spent in other cities is of no civic
value to us and that Augusta offers a
natural place to buy, coupled with
prices as low as in other cities. 1t is
also thought that campaign of this
sort would draw trade to this city
that is at the present time going to
some other place or to the mail-order
houses.
The matter of prices was discus
scd and although it is the general
idea that the prices are higher in this
city, many examples were quoted to

WHY SCOUTS REFUSED REWARD

An account of the rescue by boy
scouts of three men from drowning
appeared recently throughout the
country. The account read substan
TALLY as follows:
Boy Scouts Rescue Three Men From
Drowning; Refuse Slim Reward.
Chicago, May 16.-Three men at
the point of death in Lake Michigan
after their rowbOat had capsized,
were rescued yesterday by four boy
scouts. When the third man had been
landed, one of the rescued victims of
fered the scout leader dollar bill
for reward 1t was not accepted
The account did not mention why
the scouts refused the reward, but
here's the reason. 1t wasn't because
the gratuity was slim 1t wasn't
because the boys didn't have use for
pocket money. 1t was because to do
so would be violation Of the scout
law which says in part: "a scout may
work for pay, but must not receive
tips for courtesies or good turns" 1t
wouldn't have been hard to identify
these boys as scouts. Their courage
and skill in making the rescue gave
evidence of their scout training; their
faithfulness to the scout law confirmed
it. It's just such boys as these, with
the courage to help others at all times
and to hold fast to their conviction
that are the backbone of the move.
ment. And all honor to them!

REGARD FOR HEROES WISHES
quest of Soldier Killed in War
Demands First Consideration.

Is the last wish Of a soldier dying
on the field Of battle more TO be re-
gpected than legal forms decked out
with sealing wax? The American
Legion thinks it is. Recent cases be-
fore the courts have brought the CUES
ton to the front According to Federal
Judge Neterer of Seattle, the wish of
a soldier killed in battle is higher law
than any departmental regulation Ac-
cording TO this decision Agnes Claffy,
sixteen-year old niece OF Clarence
Swank, is awarded the residue of
Swank's estate, amounting to $4,000.
Swank was killed in France. Depart
mental red tape cluttered up the case
on account of the death of Swank's
mother, the original beneficiary. In
handing down his decision Judge
Neterer cited precedents extending
back to the days Of Caesar and the
legionnaires Of ancient Rome.
The latest case is that of Miss
Elenore r. Knapp Of New York, whose
claim to the estate of Ernest Charl-
ton Mason of the One Hundred and
Sixth United States infantry has been
contested by Masons uncle. In q
muddy dugout before a general ad-
vance against the Germans, Mason
told his buddie, Oscar Westgate, the
story of his engagement, and added
that he now felt that In this advance
he was slated to Ego West" IF
don't come through this" he said, as
they started over the top, II want FL
enore to have all my estate"
Mason, among others, was cut of
and captured by the Germans. They
were taken to the same prison camp.
For ten days, bunkie testified, Mason
lay i'll on the ground with influenza.
Then he was taken away in an ambu-
lance and his death reported. Event
ually a death certificate was issued
by the United States government. But
the attorneys for Mason's uncle con-
tested the case to the extent of argu-
ing that the proof of death" was IN
satisfactory.
The justice of the soldiers latest
will has been upheld in startling fash
ion by the highest courts OF England
recently. An English major Of in
fantry died alone in his lodgings In
London directly after the armistice.
He left no legal will. Across the front
of a photograph of his fance he
had hastily scrawled: "All to her"
The case was brought before the high
est tribunal of England and the will
stood.

OUT AMONG THE BIG THINGS

Summer time-schOolbooks closed
means scouts own particular time,
camping days With their opportunities
for advancing in scOutcraft and wood
craft and growing bigger and stronger
and better "out among The big things"
Last year in the 1000 boy scout
camps throughout the country over
100000 boys enjoyed the advantages
of the scout program The cost per
boy per week averaged less than $40,
the camping department emphasizing
the necessity Of keeping the cost at
the minimum to make 1t possible for
all scouts to attend.
Every Indication this year points to
an increased number Of campers and
camps, and pronounced development
of facilities.
AT the boy scout camps no Iaxity
is allowed in the matter Of safeguard
ing boys from harm-moral as we'll as
physical.
Great care is taken in selecting a
competent camp staff and every rea-
sonable provision is made for instant
attention in case of sickness or acct
dent. The records of the organization
show remarkable health conditions
throughout all scout camps and al
most no accidents Of consequence.
Boys are safer by far in a boy scout
camp than in any city.
And then the advantage of the
training. Sportsmen say there is no
experience like camping to bring out
and develop a mans ability to team
with other men. It's great art for
boy to be able to do good team work
with other fellows: to share his job
and their job, his fun and theft fun,
his treats and their treats. That is
how lifelong friendships are formed.
1t puts a boy on his mettle. 1t
brings out the best that is in him, and
it is one secret of the pull of the scout
camp on scouts who have been there
To the summer camp, with its
