FOLLOWING THE BOY SCOUT TRAIL

ed for signs of life. They renewed
their efforts with the result that the
young man was entirely revived;
virtually snatched from the jaws Of
death by two small Boy Scouts.
Life saving is one of the worth
while things that boy learns in
scouting. But he learns many other
useful accomplishments. He learns
reverence for God and religion, with
out intrusion however upon the par
ticular creed to which he belongs. He
learns politeness, courtesy, manner;
to love his neighbor as himself.
Such training cannot help but re-
dound to the benefit of the commune
ty. During the late war, boy scouts
served as four minute speakers in
some places; helped collect necessary
information; assisted in the distribu-
tion. of war posters and other litera-
ture; and in many other ways did
great service to their country in time
of war. In times Of peace they have
taken part in cleanup campaigns, in
paind-up campaigns, in building tour
ist camps, in Red Cross work, in as
sisting the Associated Charities and
other organizations in the feeding
of the poor, in checking population
for the census, in fighting forest fires,
in regarding first aid to injured per-
sons at times of large gatherings, in
decorating soldiers graves, in con-
Quoting strangers to hotels and other
places during conventions, in assist
ing in regulating traits on busy
streets, and in hundred and one other
useful ways helped in community and
civic affairs.
Scouting in any community is an
asset not only to the boys themselves
but the community as whole. TO
Devils Lake it will mean much To the
entire Lake Region it will mean a
great deal. A full time executive in
the person of Leonard D. Fackler is
On the job. The Scout Council of the
Lake Region solicits, and I am sure
will have, The unstinted support of
the people of the City of Devils Lake
and the Lake Region in this great
movement.

WORKINGS OF
THE BOY SCOUTS
is EXPLAINED

10 the Editor:
In answer to the question of
number of citizens Of Devils Lake re-
garding the progress of the Boy
Scout movement since an executive
has been employed to give his whole
time to the work, the Executive Board
of the Council desires to make the
following statement:
Since the Council has jurisdiction
over six counties, a considerable a.
mount of effort has been necessary
to build the preliminary foundations
of the organization throughout the
territory.
Before actual work of organizing
boys can be continued in this COM
munity, considerable preparation must
be made to secure proper leadership,
have adequate backing for troop,
survey the boy problem of the city to
know the number of boys to be reached
and where they can be best reached,
all Of which has been carried on
quietly and efficiently by the organi-
cation, and will be consummated in
the not far distant future in a num-
ber of active troops. The churches
have been given the first opportunity
to sponsor troops and the situation
in those constituencies can be sum-
married. at this time as follows:
Troops will be sponsored by the
Catholic, Presbyterian and Norwegian
Lutheran churches and organization
work will be begun as soon as pla-
cticable. The Methodist, Christian
Science, Episcopalian and Salvation
Army churches are considering the
matter and will arrive at definite con-
clusion at an early date. The Jewish
congregation, the German Lutheran
and Norwegian Free churches have
all endorsed the movement, but do
not have enough boys within their res
pective constituencies to sponsor a
troop. The boys from these broups
will join other troops that will be
organized.
In addition to the church troops that
will be sponsored, there will be ad-
ditional community troops organized.
The first Of these will be under the
sponsorship Of the American Legion
Auxiliary. Indications are that there
will be three such troops. Complete
organization in Devils Lake indica-
tes that there will be at least eleven
troops in the city, and possibly more
since there are 485 boys Of Scout
age in the community.
Further details of the work Of the
Lake Region District Council will be
learned at the meeting Of the full
Council, which will be held Wednesday
of this week at the Civic and Com

SCOUTING AND THE COM.
MLJNITY.

(By Fred ]. Traynor, President Lake
Region District, Boy Scouts of Am
erica.)
Long before there was any such
organization as the Boy Scouts there
were people who were popularity term
ed by their neighbors, "good scouts" "
To be known in the community as a
"good scout" in the best sense Of
the term, is to be known as one who
is loved and admired by his fellow
men. The term, ''good scout" may be
applied to man, woman, boy,
or girl. Essentially, it is the
quality of love of mankind, the fore
getting of oneself for the good Of
others. The 'good scout" is always
at hand to do a good turn.
The fundamental principle of the
organization known as the Boy Scouts
of America is indential with the quail
ty possessed by him or her who right
fully qualified as ''good scout" The
slogan of the Boy Scouts Of America
is, "Do a good turn dai]y,''to tile
extent that they live up to that slogan
are they benefit and JOY to the
community.
The Boy Scout movement is prim-
arily for the good of the boy. But in
q large sense it is for the good of the
community at large. The boy of to-
day is the man of tomorrow. The
foundation for honorable manhood and
good citizenship is laid in the tender
years of boyhood. It is the aim of
scouting to so train boys in right prin-
.ciples that they will become honorable
and upright citizens imhued with
ideals Of public service.
I read the other day Of near
drowning accident. A young man
while swimming had from some cause
gone to the bottom, drowned his COM
panion thought. He was fished out
and brought to shore apparently life
less. Two small boys about the age
of thirteen years Immediately took
charge of the seeming lifeless body
and applied live saving principles for
his revival. They worked, and work.

Retires After 41
Years as Tailor

Fory-one years in the tailoring busi-
ness is the record that j. j. Burtscher,
now about to retire, holds. He is
cleaning out his stock in the store on
Kelly avenue, and will lease the site
of the building, which is to be torn
down, and replaced by modern store
front building. Mr.. Burtscher has
not yet announced what business will
be located in the new building.
Mr.. Burtscher came to Devils Lake
from Superior Wis, in 1898, and has
been here ever since Having built
up on excellent business through
superior workmanship and extensive
advertising. He will move to CAL
ifornia when his affairs here are ar
ranged, if his wife's health permits
the removal. She has been confined to
her bed for months, having suffered
a paralytic stroke, and it is largely on
her account that Mr.. Burtscher plans
to go to California.

There are other things to be seen
at the ranch. One of these is fine
garden containing nearly everything
in the line of vegetables. Last, but
by means least, are the two massive
beds of petunias and zinias which are
being cared for by Mrs. Chase, and
Miss Maude Chase.
We might write more of the lake
and its surroundings, but we have
written enough to show that the fox
ranch is one Of the show places Of the
state, and that visit to it is from

HORSES FED TO
SILVER FOXES

ROlla Star: On Sunday last w. j.
Hoskins and family and their guests
Mr.. and Mrs. F. M. Rich and Merton
Rich, of Willow City, visited the Fox
ranch situated about five miles south
west of St. John. They found the
visit worth while. The company owns
almost five hundred acres Of land,
some of which is under cultivation,
but very much more is used for
pasture and hay medows. The COM
pany now owns eleven thoroughbred
percheron horses and forty thorough
bred Shorthorn cattle, besides some
choice purebred chickens and geese.
The fox ranch, however, is the most
interesting and most valuable part Of
the farm. The ranch is situated on a
longitudinal hill overlooking the
beautiful Gordon. Each Fox pen
is Is feed wide and so feet long, inside
of which is small house large enough
to accommodate pair Of foxes and
their pups, the litters varying in num-
ber from two to six. The foxes in
this ranch are of the silver-black
variety and the present time there
are about 80 foxes on the ranch. This
is an exceedingly valuable variety as
the fur cannot be dyed as the red fox
pelt frequently is, to represent a
pure black. Mr.. M. B. Chase, the
manager, informed us that during the
war the price of silver-black an
imal was $4,000. At the present time
the price is $4,000, the pelt alone run
ming in value from $1,000 to $3.50,
Last fall ten pairs were sold at one
time to start new fox ranch for
:$35,00O. !.
: The foxes are easily kept, provided
one knows how. There is a great deal,
however, in the knowing. Old horses
are bought up for food, the ranch re-
Nuiring at present one horse week.
This summer a pair Of greys were
bought for SIG which the owner re-
fused 5000 for few years ago. That
is certainly an example Of rapid de-
:preciation Of value. Corn cake is an
other favorite fox food. Lime is free
ly used in the pens, and even the
, watering throughs are supplied with
: it. Each pen is fenced with closely
) meshed wire screen about seven feet
high and having an Unfolding collar
/, at the top about two feet in width.
This wire netting is buried in the soil
about two and one half feet. The
foxes do not make very deep holes for
themselves. The wooden houses, al
ready referred to, serves as a hiding
plase as well as a shelter. The fox
is almost proof against cold. In
the severest weather the furry animal
climb to the top of a snow drift,
wraps his bushy tail around his head
and defies the frost king.
We saw fifteen or twenty of the
young foxes lying in the shade Of the
: trees or walking around in inclosure.
They see too many visitors to mani
: fest any fear or timidity. In the eve
ming, Mr.. Chase informed us, nearly
all Of them may be seen.
There are about $50 fox farms in the
United States. One of these, in New
York state, is owned by the govern
ment for the purpose Of experimental

Devil Dogs Defeat of Hilltop
Leads to Plan for Another

BY DAVIS j. WALSH.

NEW YORK, Nov. st is Alto
gether possible that the more or less
distant future will see third service
'eam rise in the east to take issues
with West Point and Annapolis in
football. forming a triple entente
modelled along the lines Of the big
three.
The foundation of the plan was laid
down in Washington a week or 50
ago when the Quantico Marines took
n rolling fall out of Georgetown Uni.
,'ersity, until that disillusioned mo.
.ment regarded as one of the bes.
cams east of the Mississippi.
The present Quantico Marines are
he missionaries of the movement,
which 1t is hoped will result in the
Marine training school for officers ut
Quantico, Va. assuming a status I'm
relation to the Army and Navy game
as does Princeton to Harvard and
Yale.
In a scholastic sense, the institu.
ton has requirements that are SC Id
o be just as strict as those prevail.
ing at West Point and Annapolis.
In the matter OF athletic eligibility,
he code. no doubt. is bit more
elastic. 1t hasn't been necessary TO
draw the eligibility line very light
for the simple reason that the
Marines have been unable to get on
rhe schedules of college teams.
The Quantico game was to be a
romp, in Georgetowns estimation,
but 1t was beaten in that game and
was softened up to such an extent
