ROY SC0ITTS

Wednesday was the first regular
meeting that was held for two weeks
en- account of the American Legion's
entertainment last week, however the
boys are still working hard, every
week one or more taking eXamina-
tions for higher grade in scouting.
These boys are to commended for
their industry as it requires consider
able effort on their part to accomp-
lish this in addition to their regular
school work.
It is contended that the average
scout will apply himself to his
studies, errandS, etc. more diligently
than non scout and it is proposed
to prove this this year of 1924. There
is also. to be a competition between
patrols and individuals of the troop,
the American Legion will award a
prize or trophy to such patrol or
individual scoring the greatest num-
Der of points. The nature of the
prize will be announced later.
An incident was observed on the
street last week. in which it is hoped
that no scout participated as it would
have been their duty to try to stop
such thing, there was a group of
boys endeavoring to promote a dog
fight-to refresh the scouts memory
along these lines the 9th scout law
is here quoted: "a Scout is Kind
He is friend of animals. He will
not kill nor hurt any living creature
needlessly. but will strive to save
and protect all harmless life.''
The above incident is contrast to
scout who last week found bird
with an injured leg and, using the
knowledge he had acquired through
scouting, he cared for the bird and
fixed it's leg.
No doubt our readers are in the
habit of reading the weeks best
good turn and, while the thingi our
boys have done have not yet come
up to those published nation wide,

WEEKS BEST GOOD TURN

Scouts stand good chance of be-

Such was the comment of an OBJ
server of the reliability and quick
action of a 14-year-old Arkansas of
flee boy, who when a fire broke out
in the building stayed at his post,
fighting the flames until help came.
Brantley of Pine Bluff, Ark, is en-
ployed after school and Saturdays
by the local "Daily Graphic" He
a recent morning when he discovered
a blaze in it.
',Brantley met it with all that he
had,''' says 'The Graphic" "He
fought the flames, rapidly encircling
the room, with his bare hands and
his broom. Then he got a fire ex-
tinguisher and held the stream upon
the blaze, but by that time it had
gotten entirely beyond him and he
realized it. He left his apparatus
and dashed to the phone and called
for help. Then he returned and
stood by until help came.
"He didn't dash into the flames,
he escaped unscorched and he didn't
take any unusual risks, but" con-

Studebaker builds more quality cars than

$200,OOO,O00 for Studebaker models.

Open cars have real leather
cushions. They cost, over imitation
leather, about SIS per car.
No closed cars could be more luxu-
rious. That lining of Chase Mohair

save about two-thirds that cost--up

RUN OVER BY

! 1t is not often man can be run
over by 4 tractor and not only live to
tell the tale, but escape with only
bruises, which, however, are not
things one would like to have come
to him very often.
Mark went through the experience
Of having tractor back over him,
and it happened in this way: He
was backing the engine and pulling
hard on the brake lever when the
Iron broke and he fell off the plat
form and a drive wheel went over his
hips before he could scramble out Of
the way, the tractor being stopped
when the front wheel struck his
chest.
While the whole affair is more or
less misty to Mark, it would appear
that he was backing to couple on a
wagon and it was down grade and at
ter starting the machine the power
had been shut off, else much more
serious injuries would have been in
flicted on the skipper Of the ship. At
though badly hurt, Mark managed to
get to the farm house and was
brought to town where it was found
that no bones had been broken and
that when bruises are cured he Will
be as good as new. He was able to
be up few days later and will soon
be all right again.
