 Island

The gasboat Big Swan, Capt. T. Nathan, Carl Kayader and Jacob Laukeos, arrived last evening with five goats, the first shipment under Representative Polley's bill for the appropriation of ten thousand dol lars for this purpose.
 The animals were secured with great difficulty at Tracy Arm, about fifty miles south of Juneau. Thir- teen more are to be secured by these men under their contract.
 These five animals will be turned loose up Silver Bay as soon as word is received from the Governor the game warden to whom they are con- signed, being to the Westward at present. Everybody is now paying q visit to the Big Swan and all de- clare the goats to be fine specimens. -Sitka Tribune

scour SAVES GIRLS LIFE

Scout training in preparedness had a recent impressive illustration at the desperate moment when Dorothy Un- kenboltz was going down for the third time in a pool near Glendive, Mont. Two men had just succeeded in bring Ing the drowning girl to the surface, but being unable to stand longer on the slippery bottom of the pool, they had let the girl fall back. At this juncture fourteen-year-old Scout Ward Hill dove In, caught hold of the girls bathing suit, and swimming backward. dragged her to safety.

scours AND MERIT BADGES

Did you ever stop to contemplate what 1t means for & boy to receive a merit badge In the scout organiza' tion7" asks the Marion (Ind.) Tribune "Of the work, of the sacrifice, of the spirit of service? For boy scout to pass these tests he must be young gentleman and a crusader. He must do good turn every day, and not only that, but must be courteous and con siderate at all times. He must learn the first-aid treatment and how to act in the event of an emergency"

.BO. SCOUTS & Conducted by National Council of the Boy
 Scouts of America-1
SCOUTS CHEER DYING LAD

Somewhere on Long Island, N. Y.. a small boy, three and onehalf years old, with an enlarged heart and short existence before him-unless miracles still do happen-is clinging to life be- cause of the boy scouts" says the Long Island Press In an account of a good turn by local scouts Were 1t not for the inspiration and the example probably the short life would have been shorter, and a home emptier than 1t is now.
 "The lad Is the son of Mrs. NJ. J. Stockdale, 12 Van Wyck avenue, Rich mond Hill," continues the story. "1t Is the verdict of a number of doctors that he cannot live to grow up because of an enlarged heart. and other con- plications which have since set in. The tragic tale became known through letter written by Mrs. Stockdale to New York newspaper, in which she asked that a delegation of boy scouts come to visit her boy.
 "The letter was passed on to Chief Scout Executive James E. West, and In time reached the desk of c. A. Wor- den, scout executive of Queens Dor ough, L. I. The matter was turned over to Scoutmaster Arthur D. Oliver, Troop 15, Jamaica, L. I.
 "The affair was attended to In the usual boy scout way, and after Scout master Oliver had made his investiga- tions of the matter, the scouts began to come to make life more bearable for the little lad who may never, except in his imagination. don a scout uni- form.
 .T don't know what we would have done without the boy scouts said Mrs. stockdale, who is the mother of two other boys besides little Robert, who is generally called Sonny. They have come again and again. and they brighten my boys life up so much. They brought him boy scout hand book, and every night he sleeps with 1t under his pillow. They came to lunch one day and had a cake for them and everything. They are such fine boys.
 "'One of the scouts, whose name Is Michael, stops In every time he passes, and he brings things with him some times-a box of candy and other thIngs. Seven doctors have said that my little boy cannot ever grow up' but am hoping that some other doc tor or surgeon may hear of 1t and come to save him for us
 If the glories of boy scoutdom, Jam- borees and camping" concludes the Press, "are ever the portion of the Ht' tie lad, much of the credit will be due to the boys of Troop 15, Jamaica Boy Scouts of America. Should the grim reaper win the victory, 1t Is probable that little Sonny's last thought will be visualization of the scout badge and uniform and the daily good turn done him by his young friends"

'lhere are only about four and

Have you ever considered that and

"God never would have permitted

'The Legion is the agency through
which the American People are to
work out their destiny of salvage of
the World War.
The Legion post at Alexandria
has added $525 to its park fund in
the recent past, having received
5000 from its Auxiliary, $100 from
the Alexandria Woman's Club, and
having cleared 1925 on three one
act comedies. The park will be in
the nature of a memorial to the war
dead of Alexandria and the post al
ready has begun work on the pro-
iect.
Past Department Chaplain Joseph
Barnett of Redwing spoke recently
in Thief River Falls. He reports
that Legion enthusiasm is running
high in the 1925 convention city,
and that the general public, as well
as the Legionaires, already are plan

OhId.y DOSaAO VI
THAT the business of a city should
be handled as carefully as that of
any big business and in COM
mon sense way.
THAT city building never succeeds
without cooperation, the kind of
cooperation that has for its goal
stability. Cities make progress
through cooperation. When they
stand aloof it always shows a
civic cowardice on the part of
many citizens.
THAT city must have a healthy
modern business and development,
a city must stand up under stress
and disappointment, always going
forward slowly and surely.
THAT those who enter into the
fight to make a bigg.f, better,
brighter and buster city, will dis
cover that never before have they
had presented to them a PROPOSE
ton of equal magnitude and at
tractiveness.
THAT all can materially benefit
their home city and themselves if
they begin right now to help to
make the coming months ones of
production and prosperity.
THAT it would be difficult to find
one citizen who cannot in some
manner help to increase the pros
perity of all. Everyone can, with
out detriment, inconvenience or
expense, at least remember that
the home city is their city and
act accordingly to the end that
harmony and prosperity may be
assured.
EVERY CITIZEN OWES AN OBJ
LEGATION TO THE HOME
CITY, AND SHOULD NOT BE
ALLOWED TO PASS UP THAT
OBIGATION.
