The Boy Scouts of America will
be celebrating their Thirteenth
Anniversary, the week of Febru-
arr 9Th to 18th. This Movement
has created for American boyhood
remarkable aids in character build
ing and citizenship training. This
program of organized work and
play directs the gang" instinct in
boys into channels of wholesome,
useful activity; the boys energy
to constructive ends.
The Part the Boys Play
The program stresses Milking,
overnight camps, winter and sum-
mer camping, an understanding of
nature and life in the open. 20O,-
900 scouts attended organized
camps last summer under trained
leadership. This activity alone
builds up a sturdy boyhood. All of
the boys thoughts and actions are
based upon the code of conduct
known as the Scout Oath and Law,
which a boy must promise to OBJ
serve before he becomes a scout.
The daily "Good Turn" by a Boy
Scout creates in his heart spirit
of kindness and service to others.
Community Good Turns have been
of invaluable aid to cities, and
even the nation itself.
ResourcefuIness and Leadership =
Troops of boys are organized in
to smaller units known as patrols.
A boy patrol leader is given charge
of this smaller group Of eight boys,
and this has proved to be an ideal
method for developing and train.

as the bill has not yet been printed
and the feeling of the senators was
that it was to important a measure
to act on in the dark.
Senate Bill 81 the income tax Dill
which was on the calendar, and on
which a divided report has been
presented by the committee on taxes
and tax laws was not reached. 1t
will be taken up today.
At the conclusion of the senate
session Judge w. L. Nuessle, and At
torney C. l.. Young of Bismarck ap-
reared before the senate to discuss
the measures which are being advo-
Gated by the Childrens' Code Com
mission.
Home Rule Asked
Home rule for cities in the mat
ter of regulating pool halls, bowling
alleys, dance halls, soft drink
stands and similar places is propos-
cd in a new pool hall license bill
placed before the house Of represen-
tatives by Rep. Trubshaw, who sup
plemented recent bill to repeal the
pool hall <license law by the new
measure.
The bill substantially re-enacts
the present state pool hall license
law regarding regulation and fees of
such places, but provides the. fees
shall be paid cities and the cities
shall regulate the places.
The house found little to discuss
in the bills passed during the after
noon, but found marked differences
in considering bills in committee Of
the whole.
House bill No. SO, which provides
persons whose property has been
sold for taxes and bought in by the
county may redeem them by March
l, 1923. at 6 percent interest, was
again before the house on divided
committee report. The majority
was to kill the bill; the minority
to amend it.
Pie bill was sustained, So to AZ
and goes into general orders.
Nonpartisans made an attempt te
revive house bill No. ZIG, appro-
priating money to permit the attor-
gen-general to hire an assistant al
$500 per year to do the work of the
railroad commission, which they kill
ed late yesterday because the major
ity refused to provide that the ap-
pointment should be with approval
of the railroad commission. 1t was
asserted by Rep. Twichell, for the
majority, that the railroad commits
sion had agreed to the bill as re-
ported.
The motion to reconsider was lost
81 to 81.
Complains of Lobby
House bill No. 81, permitting
domestic insurance companies tx
invest in State, county and schoo
warrants also caused some>>debate
in which REP. Twichell, speaking
against the bill, declared an active
lobby had been carried on for t.aret
weeks for the bill and he though

Instantly Lettie dashed the other

kitchen. Cropping her way around the
wall, she opened door into another
room, and then one which opened into
space-the stairway.
She plunged recklessly down the
dark stairs. her nerves keyed high by
the fear Of pursuit. The moaning was
louder now. Thad was near; she
knew 1t. Stumbling over rubbish, half
before she could regain her
footing, she made for the direction
from which the moaning seemed to
come, and encountered rough wall.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
