burg football game.
Listen, my friends, and YOU shall hear
Of Reedsburg's death when her team
played here.
Twas the twentieth of October in '2s
That Reedsburg again met her Water
LOOT
The sun shone bright. and the air
was warm
When Reedsburg let in a mighty
swarm.
Midst the rattle of Fords with horns
so loud
AS if they expected that to draw a
crowd,
They floated their banners of purple
and white,
They yelled end they shouted, they
screamed with delight
AS onto the field came their warriors
eleven
Whose chances were better of going
10 heaven
Than of standing a show with our
football boys,
Who regard Reedshurg's team as
they would Small Boys!
The game then began midst cheer
after cheer
With "B" in the lead and "R" in the
rear
If Reedsburg had only raised her
score
They could have had a great deal
more
Than that peoulie- figure they SO
admire
Called Zero" to which they always
aspire;
But sad to say her score was the
same
Throughout the entire football game
When Hayward made our first touch
down
There came to our opponents from
the other town
That fatal warning of their certain
doom
Which before Them, each and all did
loom.
AT Baraboo's clever playing they
stood aghast
For they saw at that rate they could
never last.
And so it went on md on till the end
With the score just the saEle as
when they began.

Mrs. Anna Holmes, wife of Sheriff
Holmes of Grant county, the regular
Republican nominee for the Office of
sheriff was decisively beaten at the
polls at the recent election. Her OPP
ponent, Joseph Edge, of Fennimore,

from 2 500 to 5000
This was the only Office in the
county in which a contest was shown.
Mrs. Holmes won her nomination out

COPIES OF FAMOUS
PAINTINGS SHOWNAT
DORIS : HEYMAN' s

In honor of the anniversary of the
birthday of George Washington
which occurs on Feb. %, there is on
exhibition in a widow at the Doris
Heyman Furniture company copies
of two exceptional paintings of
Washington by Gilbert Stuart. The
copies are the work of Marjorie
Thomas of Seottsdale and will re-
main on exhibition here over Feb. %.
Gilbert Stuart was born in Perth,
Scotland, the son Of a Presbyterian
clergyman. His father objected
strongly to his artistic tastes, but in
fluential friends took an interest and
made it possible for him to study.
His first order came for a pair Of
portraits of titled friends of his IA
ther when he was 13 years old.
Coming to America he painted
many notables his most popular sub
ject being the president, George
Washington, of whom he painted
many portraits standing and seated,
but he considered the one now known
as the Athenaeum portrait his best
likeness. At the time this one was
painted Martha Washington also sat
for her portrait and the pair now
hang together in the Boston art mu-
scum unfinished.
Stuart never gave to the world his
reason for leaving these fine por
traits unfinished. but. it is told that,
upon seeing how fine they We're and
how popular they were to be, he de-
termined to keep them in his possess
sion and make copies of them.
1t was understood when George
and Martha Washington posed for
these portraits they were to have
the Originals. and they called time
and again only to find no background
had been painted This went on so
long that at last they were obliged
to accept finished copies, Stuart re-
tanning the originals as he seemed.
determined to do. He made many
copies. One Englishman offered $10,-
900 for the pair. which was refused.
Gilbert Sturat died in 1928, and in
1881 his widow sold the pair to the
Washington association. and they
were then presented to Boston. These
portraits are now valued at 100000.
These were painted in 1895 in
Philadelphia and George and Martha
Washington posed for them in a
barn. The copies on exhibition at
Dorris- Heymans were made from
the originals by Marjorie Thomas.

other system of education yet devised
has succeeded in doing-made the
boy want to learn
Finally and chiefly, Scouting is

ing, making men. Learning as he
does, to do whatever he attempts
thoroughly, expertly on his honor,
whether anyone is standing over him
att his task or not, is even more i'm
portant to the Scout than learning to

The Scout program develops in1-
tiative and responsibility. To 'be
prepared" is the Boy Scout motto. He
is taught to be ready to meet what
ever emergency comes up intelli-
gently and efficiently. In the Omaha
riots two years ago. when the mob
was threatening to hang the mayor
and burn the court house, Boy
Scout. noting that the police were too
busy elsewhere to attend their regu-
lar duties, voluntarily placed himself
in charge of traffic at a crowded point
and carried the job through with
dignity and success, disclaiming all
credit therefor afterward, saying,
that it was nothing but what any
Scout would have done.
On entering the Scout movement,
every Boy Scout pledges himself to
the following:
On My Honor I will do my best:
/. To do my duty to God and my
country, and to obey the Scout law;
2. To help other people at all times;
8. To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.
Surely no finer or more workable
code of conduct was ever devised for
boy or man. Service to God and
country, and to fellow human beings,
the will to make and keep themselves
physically strong. mentally awake,
morally straight" These are the
things in Scouting. un-.

tivities and progressive practical in

urge to right living-are the main

What Scouting Means To Boys In
Preparing Them For Citizenship

We have heard much during the
past few days of Boy Scouts and
Scouting. What is Scouting anyway Z?
What does it stand for? What are
its mainsprings?
To begin with, Scouting means
wholesome, happy outdoor life A
Boy Scout is hardy animal at home
and supremely content out of DOORS
under all sorts of conditions. in any
kind of weather or climate He takes
delight as every normal boy does in
hiking, swimming. camping. building
things. doing things. but he has the
advantage of having learned to do
them just right safely. comfortably
sensibly. His camp fires burn, his
camp "eats" are eatable. his tent or
lean-to is set up firmly and judicious-
ly enough that no rains will drown
him out no winds uproot his shelter
You can't lose him in the woods
for he has been trained to keep his
eyes open for land marks and knows
how to use his compass. or failing his
compass, to estimate direction by sun,
or stars. He can follow a trail as
exper*ly as a woodsman or lay one for
a fellow Scout to follow him with
equal deftness.
He is on friendly terms with birds
and animals and hunts them with
camera instead of gun. He knows
the stars and the trees. He can build
bridges, signal messages. tie knots,
render first aid, draw field maps, use
his knife or axe scientifically. esti-
mate distances. in short he is an open
air creature, storing up health and
happiness. outdoor lore and practical
skill with every hour spent under the
big skies.
Secondly, Scouting is a thoroughly
workable system of education. con-
ceived on sound pedagogic principles
and endorsed by leading educators
the world over 1t supplements the
school curriculum and vitalizes book
education with worthwhile practical
activities and training. provides a
leisure time program which gives new
zest and significance to more formal
study and inspires and directs voca-
tional ambitions. AS a local school
principal frankly admitted not long
ago, Scouting" has done what no
