BOY SCOUTS ARE
SERVED WITH
ELAb0RATEFEED

Under the regulations of the Boy
Shouts of America, any Civic or
ganization, club society, church,
school or other institution may or
ganize a Boy Scout troop and appoint
its Scout Committee and Scout Mas
ter. During the past two or three
years the Boy Scout Band Corpora
ton has become the sponsor for the
two organized troops in this city.
Last year the Scout Committee for
three troops were named, two troops
were registered and differed by
the Band corporation and an addition
al troop was assembled and paid it's
dues, but owing to the failure of the
committee to act, it was never re-
gistered.
Since the first of the year the
management of the Boy Scout Band
has been busy arranging for re-re-
Clustering the two troops and finding a
committee and officers for the third
troop. They have received splendid
encouragement and have been able to
find Is business men who are vitality
interested in boys to act as Scout
committees for three troops. And
young men have come forward and
volunteered their services, both as
Scout Masters and Assistant Scout
Masters.
The Scout Committees for the three
troops as named by the Band Manage
ment are as follows:
Troop I
Silver Serumgard, j, D. Kerns, Ed
ward Johnson, c. J. Kelly, Harry A.
Kneeshaw.
Troop II
Ole Serumgard, H. M. Bekken, Vim.
K. Moeller, Herman Stenseth, Louis
M. johnson.
Troop III
Martin Kelly, Rev. J. A, Loftness,
Fred Traynor, S. L. Serne, j. D. Stem
son.
The executive officers of the three
troops as follows:
Scout Master Troop No. 1 M. Hues-
tbs.
Assistant Scout Master, Troop No.
l, Eugene Serumgard.
Scout Master Troop No. 2, C. B.
Weimer.
Assistant Scout Master Troop, No.
2, Duckie Kneeshaw.
Scout Master Troop No. 8, George
Crook.
Assistant Scout Master, Troop No.
8, Ray R. Kneeshaw.
In the three Troops that are now
registered and in good standing as
Tenderfoot and second class Scouts
are So boys, and a sufficient number
of boys have signified their inten-
ton of joining the movement to in
sure one more troop in the near fut-
ure. The intense interest taken by
the boys in the work, is a real sur
prise to the men in charge and to in
dictate the appreciation of this in
terest and of the work done by the
boys during the last two years, the
Committee men arranged spread for
the Scouts at the Guild Hall last
Thursday night after Band rehear-
sal. At ZOO o'clock the committee
men, the Scout Masters and the as
sistant Scout masters reported fol-
duty at the Guild Hall attired as
cooks and walters. j. D. Kerns took
charge as the official manager of the
commissary and under his skillful
and efficient management quite an
CELEBRATE menu was presented, end
ing with apple pie A La Mode. AT
precisely 8:45 the three troops which
had assembled at the United States
District Court rooms were the Band
had been rehearsing, marched into the
Guild Hall in double file, scarsely had
Troop one been seated when every
boy was served with viands that test
ed their gastronomic capacity to the
limit. Troop two and Three were
served the same way and inside OF
fifteen minutes the SO boys were all
served. By half past nine they had
finished and tho management was
turned over to the POSTMASTER.
The first speaker was the Presi.
dent of the Band corporation, Mr.
Silver Serumgard, who gave short
survey of the Boy Scout Movement
in Devils Lake and Of the organiza.
ton of the Boy Scout Band in the
Fall of 1919.
He congratulated the boys on the
success achieved the past two anc
one half years as members of the 30,
Scout Band and now that the irk
some work of preparation was past
they could take up the regular Scour
work with added zest.
Fred Traynor represented the 1!
committeeman and spoke on the value
of Ideas and gave the effect on the
boy life of America by the person
atty and life Of Theodore Roosevelt.
c. B. Weiner spoke on the impor
lance of men in general paying more
attention to boys and of taking then
them into their confidence. He alse
spoke very feelingly on the intense
