held last night Dan Harrington, for
some time %janitor at the Old Hill
school No. 10, has been transferred
as janitor of the new Nathan Hale

building before it would be taken
over by the board. 1t is expected
that the contractors will comply with

Theodore Roosevelt said:

The Toy Scout movement offers
to Baptist men an opportlr ity for
service to the boy; unsurpassed by
any work for the boy. 1t strives to
hold the boys interest IN the

In 1919 there were 1900 Baptist

The Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America, has

Boy Scout movement.
From a letter written by one Of
the Baptist scoutmasters, came the
following quotations.:

Scouting is an aid to the Sunday

Jimmy Smith-of course his name
isn't Jimmy Smith, but well lust
call him that, was a member of the
Bethony Baptist church. He joined
the church when he was twelve
years old. His people were Baptist
people and he was we'll on his way
to becoming a sturdy. Christian boy.
He went TO public school No. 4.
One day Bat Rodan, the boy
who sat back of him, slipped him a
note which read:
See me after school. got some
thing to tell you"
Bat Rodan hailed from a district
not above question, and himself had
an unenviable record in the neigh
borhood and in the school. The
policeman on the beat had him
spotted"
After school Jimmy met Bat"
and from that moment on came
Jimmy's decline.
six months later Jimmy stood
before a magistrate and was in da /
ger of being sen to a reform school.
His pastor pleaded with the Judge
to let Jimmy into his patrol. He
was a new pastor and had been on
the field for three months. He had
brought with him some new and
effective methods of dealing with
certain unsolved problems, and ore
of these was how to keep the boy
lined up with the church during the
a%dolescent period of between twelve
and eighteen. He had established a
10y scout troop.
He took Jimmy home with him,
sat him in his library in a big easy
chair, and Jimmy sank into the
cushions, in a state of released ten
sion from his recent excitement, and
fixed his eyes on DIR. Burton. as the
pastor took his seat in the swivel
chair before his desk. Mrs. Bur
ton came in with some hot choco-
late and spiced cookies.
We've got a scout troop IN Dur
church." DIR. Burton began, and
launched into his scheme with
characteristic enthusiasm.
The up-shot of the matter was
that Jimmy became a boy SCOTT and
is now a second class scout. we'll on
the way to becoming a first class
scout. He has justified the conf
dance that his pastor had in him.
B-. Burton, in a spirit OF kindly
analyzed the situation
which caused the possible detection
OF this one Baptist boy, as duo to
the failure of the church to care
for Jimmy when he most needed
help. Scoutcraft is a prevention
and its primary design is to give
active, aggressive boys, a safe ard

MEMBER FOOLED TOWNSHIP

TRENTON. April 1S.-Former
State Highway Commissioner Chas.
Z. Seabrook. of Cumberland. came
IN for some hard knocks at the meet
ing of the State Highway Commits
sion yesterday, when State Senator
Joseph S. Wallworth, Of Camden,
appeared before the board and as

thorities of the allotment, but that

always taken the word Of any one

ways predicted their actions on what
any certain member of the board
said.

of the board. said that in %considera-
tion Of the fact that the situation
was no fault of the township Off
Gals. he would approve the aliot-
ment of an additional $4,000 as
soon as the money becomes avail
able.

THOSE LOST PIGEONS

The Spring Valley Sun last week
took up the discussion of the mys
FERROUS "blue" pigeons, which were S.
common in this country about rs
years ago, but which have entirely
disappeared
The Suns article quotes Chas. Pet
erson of Gilman, who says that a
couple of fellows from the East fol
lowed the flock, slaughtering them
as south st. Paul butcher kills hogs
and that Oluf Osen, now of River
Falls, was kept busy hauling the dead
birds to Baldwin.
Mr.. Peterson says that they nestef
in the Haakon Osen and Nelson wood
mile north of the Lawton creamery
and that they would settle so thickly
on the trees that branches six inche
through were broken off; they roost
ed on the ground so thickly they Gov
cred it.
Mr.. Osen, however, is of the opin
ion that the Spring Valley Suns in
foI1nant has his wires crossed some
where. Oluf recalls the pigeons, and
remembers the two hunters from the
East, but as he was not more than
five or six years old at the time, he
can't believe that he did any hauling
to Baldin or elsewhere. 1t is Mr..
Osen's recollection that the hunters
trapped the pigeons and shipped them
alive. The trappers stopped at his
fathers place, and he remembers that
at times shed on the farm was filled
with these live pigeons, awaiting ship
ment. A great number were killed by
hunters, who came from Baldwin and
other neighboring towns, on weekend
hunting parties.
Mr.. Osen also remembers that one
Spring his father had planted large
field with grain and day or so later
when it was to be narrowed, it was
found that the pigeons had eaten
every kernel sown. Later reports
came in that these pigeons were seen
in Canada.

DIFFER IN THEIR MERRIMENT
Boys Smoker, and the Incident la
Closed, but Girls Will Giggle
for Days AfterWard.

The question often arises, do girls
giggle more often than boys?" They
do, for the reason that boys do not
giggle. They smoker. The giggle is of
nervous or hysterical origin, condi.
ton largely given over to femininity.
The boy sees something that appeals
to his reasoning as funny and under
circumstances that the hearty laugh
Is not entirely in place, he smokers.
Having snickered, that is the end of it.
But the giggle goes on forever, or
nearly so. A class of schoolgirls sees
something which arouses their risi
bllities, and for hours or perhaps days
afterward, they continue to giggle. The
incident itself may have passed into
obscurity, but at odd or unexpected
moments there will be outbursts Of
giggling.
The boys reason smokers at the in
cident, whereas the girls instincts gig
gle at the memory. 1t must be said,
however in behalf of giggling, that it
Is an unselfish pastime, for the giggle
alone is next to impossible. 1t takes
at least two to make giggle.-Ex-

FEW OF AB09IGlNES LEFT
Black Men of Australia Passing Away

Human Races.

The race of the aboriginal black
fellow of Australia is rapidly disap-
pearing. Numbering about two hum

less than one-huLdredth of this num-
Der are today to be found. And like
all passing races the blaclfellow for
many years has been more and more
dropping the festal and war costumes
of ancient times.
The blackfellow is an chronological
problem, but the weight of research
seems to point to the race having
Caucasian origin. Yet though they are
If this be true, the bloodbrothers of
the highest civilized races. they are
still rated as one of the lowest of hui
man races, unable to comprehend
higher than the figure three, and when
found by the white men possessed of
little more skill In survival than wild
animal.
Yet at the same time they rank in
physique as one of the finest of races.
The men have been noted in the past
for their wonderful tracking abilities.
Some, besides having exceptionally
keen eyesight, have been found to be
possessed with an almost animal keen
ness of scent.
They also invented the boomerang,
wonderful weapon known to only one
other race on earth. In another 20
years this race will in all probability
have disappeared off the face of the
