BOY SCOUTS GIVE MASQUE
PARTY TO GIRL SCOUTS.

Wednesday evening the Com
munity Center was invaded by as
strange and wierd looking assembly
as ever come within it's doors. The
biggest furore was perhaps created
by the Ku Klux Klan costumes
worn by four of the boys. IN
doubtedly some of the town people
were getting ready to call out the
law and order league, until the ap-
pearance of several hands of gyp-
sizes and circus clowns also coming
up the street put their fears to rest.
Every imaginable kind of costume
was in evidence and for color the
party was surely the most gorgeous
of the season.
The evening was spent in dancing
and playing games. A fine cafeteria
lunch was served the most notable
feature of which was the array of
seven different varieties of pie. The
head of the eats committee should
be given due credit for ingenuity.

But worse yet is the sin of the cor

is an injury of the deepest type TO

when accusations are continually
and sweepingly made against al
men, good and bad, the public as a

believe that there is something PAD
about the decent man and that there
is not very much bad about the
crook. No greater harm can be done
to the body polite than by those
men who, through recklessneSs and
indiscrimination, accuse all good
men and bad men, honest men and
dishonest men, until, on the one
hand the public does not believe
that any man in public life is entire
