BROTHERS ARE SCOUT HEROES

A story of-spirited courage and noble sacrifice was enacted last sum- mer when two brothers, Scouts Tru- man Reynolds and Stanley Reynolds, of Syracuse, N. Y, saved four women from drowning. Truman Reynolds gave up his life in the accomplishment of the brave deed.
 WhHe crossing Chautauqua lake motorboat containing ten persons sprang a leak the seams gradually gave way and the craft began to sink. Truman and I told the others to be calm" relates Stanley Reynolds. told the girls in the party to jump as far from the boat as they could so that they would not be drawn under when the boat sank. After the girls plunged into the water Truman and jumped in after them Truman caught hold of two girls and 1 grabbed the other two. The young women my brother grabbsl became frightened. In their excite there were scratches and bruises on his face and head; but he kept them afloat nevertheless. A life preserver floated near me, and Helped the girls to it. We were in the water about half an hour It seemed hours. Finally lifeboat came to us from a passing steamer. As the boat drew near to him Truman caught the girls by the hair and with swing raised them into the arms of the men in the boat. The girls I had were already in the boat. followed in. I was tired out. I asked Truman if he could make it and he answered. Yes I'm all right The words were scarcely out of his mouth when he disappeared beneath the sur face of the water. I dived in and caught hold of him as he was going down. When we came up, men caught hold of us and pulled us into the boat Trumans heart was beating when they got him into the boat. I didn't know much about what was going on. As they pulled toward the steamer my strength came back. I thought Tru- man was unconscious. Two doctors on shipbt lrd worked over him; then | tried for long time. The doctors said he was dead"
 Both Stanley and Truman Reynolds were members of Troop 3, Onondaga council, New York, boy scouts, and had received their training in swimming and life saving at the Syracuse scout camp, Camp Loyalty, on Crooked lane.

Farm WO0dlOts
Survey by F. B.

Plans are underway for a survey
of the farm woodlot situation of Ken
nebec county, probably in August or
September, according to a statement
made Friday OF the Office Of the Ken
nebec county Farm Bureau here.
A forestry specialist, Myron E.
Watson of Sanford, was added to the
staff of the University of Maine eX-
tension service the first of July, and
he will. as rapidly as possible, inves-
tigate the forest resources of farmers
connected with the farm bureau or
ganization. The preliminary survey
will be made for the purpose of find
ing out what woodland resources are
available on farms; what measures,
if any, need to be taken to preserve
them; and how the forest crop of the
farmer can be improved, conserved
and marketed to the best advantage.
This is a new Farm Bureau pro-
ject. and it is expected that it will
be of interest to q great many farm
ers who derive a portion of their an
nual income from the sale Of wood
and lumber.

thing for man to do. And men have
even found money in such letters
before now upon examination. But
not often does the money come and
with it an added bit of honor to him
self and to this city. Such was the
experience of Fred Worthing of 21

letter q few days ago and found a

Winthrop Street Daughter
AbandOns Fathers Slippers

Cinderella may have had her
troubles in her day, but the old girl
has nothing on Winthrop street
resident who has lost both of his
favorite slippers. 1t seems that the
aforesaid slippers took a surprise
ride, from which they have not vet
returned. The head of the house
was in the habit of parking his Slip
pcrs in the garage and using them
when he walked about his verdant
garden. He kept the slippers on the
running board of one of his cars so
that they would not be kicking
around the floor. Now it seems that
one day, the latter part of last week.
the daughter of the house started out
with the slipper adorned car, not
thinking about taking the slippers
from off the running board.
Well, anyway. when she returned
from her ride, father discovered the
loss and great was the search there
OF. The slippers are now doubtless
adjoining the roadside somewhere
between here and Belgrade. And the
saddest part of it is, they may be
miles apart. And OF what use are
they to anyone. except. perhaps to a
couple of one-lcgged men?
