The Escape Valve.

When General Baden-Powell start
ed the Boy Scout movement fourteen
years age, he was ridiculed by many
people who thought the idea
dream.
Today the Boy Scouts of America
have 696,271 members, 21,922
troops, t54,053 adult volunteer lead
ers, and the founder is recognized as
a public benefactor.
The National Scout organization
is preparing to observe the four
teenth anniversary of its founding
February STA, and to call the at
tention of the nation to what Scout
ing has done for the youth of the
land,
Everyone knows that you can take
weaklng, put him in the army and
keep him there a few years, and he
will come out reasonably strong
and healthy man. 1t is the rigid and
systematic military training that
performs such miracles.
The training given the Boy Scouts
is much along the lines of that fol-
lowed in the army, with sufficient
variation to appeal to the juvenile
mind
There is a surplus of enthusiasm
bottled up in every boys breast that
must escape and Boy Scout activi-
ties provide the valve.
When there is no such organiza-
ton, boys will find an outlet else
wherein the street, with the gang
or in some sort of mischief in which
the boy specially delights.
Boys will be boys until they grow
into manhood. The manner of their
growth depends upon the manhood
and womanhood of today.
In order for them to have direc-
ton, Boy Scouts must have leaders,
and becoming an adult leader re-
quires some sacrifices.
No greater opportunity awaits the
man who wants to do something
constructive for the future, than to
take the leadership of troop of Boy
Scouts
They produce better men and
thereby elevate the human race I'M
general
The boy life of the community can
not be properly directed without the
Scout organization functioning Elk.

Thrift Week.

When every person with the power
to reason knows the value of thrift,
it is queer indeed that Thrift Week
is necessary once a year to remind
people to be thrifty.
Every adult person knows that
violation of the law brings punish
ment, yet the law is violated con-
stantly; that driving in front of a
train is almost certain death, yet
people are being killed in this man
ner every day; that if nothing is
saved for old age or rainy day
misfortune will be their lot, yet there
are still people going to the poor
house.
1t was John Tillotson. the English
theologian, who asked: Is he a pru-
dent man as 10 his temporal estate,
who lays designs only for a day,
without any prospect to or provisions
for, the remaining part Of his life?'
We all know the answer to this
very pointed remark, but how many
of us are really prudent to the ex-
tent that we bank a part of our in
come and add to our property?
Thriftiness is generally associated
with money, and well that it is, but
we may be thrifty even to the point
of parsimony, and still be profligate
with our health, our time or our tall
ents.
Thrifty is the man who exercises
his prudence in all things, and he
doesn't need a Thrift Week to cali
his attention to his obligations to
himself. his family and his fellow
man --EN

PERSH|NG TO SAIL
SOON FOR SOUTH
With Staff Leaves Next Week
to Aid in Tacna-Arica
PIebiscite.

Gen John J. Pershing, retired,
chairman of the Tacna- AFRICA Plebisci-
tary Commission. and his large staff
of assistants, will leave here Thursday
of next week for Key West. Fla,
where they will board the cruiser
Rochester, flagship of Rear Admiral
Latimer, for the trip by way of the
Panama Canal to africa, on the west
coast Of the territory in dispute. The
movements of the ship will be timed
so as to arrive at africa by the
time the Chilean and Peruvian repre-
sentatives on the Plebiscitary Com
mission reach there. so that final ar
rangements for taking the plebiScite
may be completed with as little delay
as possible.
Though the length of time required
for completing the plebiscite is ad-
mittedly purely speculative, officials
here generally estimate that 1t will en-
gage the personal attention OF the
commission at least 10 months.
Among the officials who will ac-
company Gen. Pershing on the trip
to africa are William C. Dennis,
general legal adviser to Gen. Pershing,
and Col. Jay J. Morrow, the American
member OF the Special Boundary Com
mission; Col Edward A. Kreger, legal
adviser to Gen. Pershing: DIR. Harold

with the administration in the Senate
on much the same lines as Senator
Thomas ID. Schall of Minnesota, a
mild insurgent, with whom Richard
son has much in common, both per
sonally and politically.
Former Justice Bronson of the
State Supreme Court and Judge
Christianson, now on that bench, are
leaguers who may come within
Sorlie's consideration IL he decides to
appoint Senator Ladds successor.
The radicals, who are holding con-
clave in Bismarck this afternoon, are
headed by Roy Fraser, vice chairman
of the Republican State central COM
mittee. This, despite it's name, is a
radical Non-Partisan League organiZa-
ton and not recognized by either
wing of the regular Republican or
ganization of the State. That or
ganization happens to be split several
ways. too, like the radicals themselves.
There is one faction, known as the In
dependent Voters Association. which
controls a branch of the State Legis-
lature, and another faction which con-
siders itself regular of the regulars,
known as the Coolidge and Dawes Re-
publican campaign committee. This is
the machine which won the State for
the G.. o. P. in 1924, and is stifl func-
former Gov. Hanna, who enjoys the
high confidence of the President and
Chairman Butler, and is looked upon
by them as their personal representa-
tive in North Dakota.
Although the State was captured
for Coolidge last Fall 1t is still sat
urated with Non-Partisan League
sentiment and league men are in
actual control of its government. All
of the old-time league economic
schemes continue to flourish, a State
| owned bank. mills, elevators, sinsur-
ance companies and other things.
The shrewdest Republican leaders
concede that radicalism is far from
obliterated in North Dakota. They
admit that to wrest Senator Ladd's 8
seat from the leaguers will mean the
stiffest kind of a contest in the pri-
maries and at the polls, no matter
| who are the candidates on either side.
! They intend, of course, to make it an
acid test of whether North Dakota is
still hopelessly radical or ready to
| scrap the Non-Partisan League.

Rockefeller, sc,
Observes Birthday
With Golf and Cake
Refuses to Pose for Pic.
tlre, But Keeps Sense
of Humor.
BY the Associated Press.

TARRYTOWN, N. Y, July s.
John ID. Rockefeller was 86 years
old today. His program for celebra-
ton of the event included a round of
golf on his private course, family
dinner with a big birthday cake and
an organ recital.
Says a message given out at the
estate:
''Mr. Rockefeller is well and full
OF good cheer and gratitude for all
the blessings that the coming year
holds for him.
He had declined scores of requests
for photographs, saying that he posed
for so many recently in Florida that
he does not think new ones are nee
essary.
John d. Rockefeller, ir., and his
family will be at Pocanto Hills, the
Rockefeller estate here, for the birth
day dinner. The organ recital will be
given by Rev. John NJ. Furman, head
OF the Irving School at Tarrytown.
Mr.. Rockefeller heard Mr. Furman
play at the First Reformed Church
last Sunday and invited him.
Friends regard Mr.. Rockefeller the
best 86-yearold golfer in the world.
He played nine holes in 4S a few days
ago, a score which many a young
duffer envies, and his game is the
best of his career. His drives are re-
markably long for man of his age,
as the result of study of the swing
and perfect timing. His approaches
and putting are good.
A friend told a new story about
him. Wheels of a passing estate
wagon 'creaked so loudly that the oil
magnet paused before undertaking an
approach shot on the golf course.
Look at my wagon" he said. "Ev-
cry wheel is creaking for need of oil,
and I'm supposed to be the oil king -

Light Waves Speed
DeUice That Counts
COrpuscIes in Blood
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
New accuracy in the tiniest of
measuring devices-the mechanism
by which blood corpuscles are
enumerated-has been attained at
the Bureau of Standards. The blood
corpuscle count, which has become
an increasingly important aid in
diagnosis and treatment of disease,
has hitherto been a somewhat in
accurate enterprise.
c. G.. Peters and B. l.. Page,
working at the problem for the
bureau. sought to improve the
method by applying a new princi-
pie based on the phenomena of
light wave interference under the
microscope. In a paper just issued
by the bureau, not only greater ac-
curacy, but more speed in attain
ing blood counts. is described as
the accomplishment of the instru-
ment they have devised.

ercises the right of appointment, few
expect him to name Lacquer of the
brand of Senator Ladd or Senator
Lynn j. Frazier. The governor is
credited with political ambitions of
his own. He Is said to plan a second
term in 1926, and then a race with
Senator Frazier, who will come up for
reelection in 1928 His detractors
suggest, therefore. that any appoint
ment of a successor to Ladd that Sor-
lie makes is bound to be with an eye
to his own future, and more likely to
be conservative than a radical selec-
ton, in order that regular Republican
support may be at his command three
years hence.
G.. o. p. Leaders Vigilant.
Coolidge administration forces in
North Dakota are, of course, watch
ing the situation with the utmost
vigilance. Their leader, former Gov.
Louis B. Hanna, who triumphantly
managed the Coolidge and Dawes
campaign in the State in 1924, is GER
tain to be a candidate for the Senate
at next years general congressional
election. Some authorities think Gov
Sorlie may resort to the bold recourse
of appointing Hanna in Ladd's place
now. He would, of course, by that
act burn all of his non-partisan
bridges and mobilize almost destruc-
tive mutiny within his own camp.
Another selection that has been urged
upon Sorlie is that of Seth w. Rich
ardson, United States district at
torney for North Dakota, who secured
that post through the recommends
ton of Senator Ladd two years ago.
Richardson is conservative Lacquer

SOFT COAL SUPPLY
SHOWS DECREASE
More Anthracite Now Held
Than in March, Geological
Survey Declares.
By the Associated press

By the Associated Press.
Stocks of bituminous coal In con-
sumers hands on June l showed a
sharp decrease over March /, while
anthracite held by retail dealers
increased, the Geological Survey de-
cared today in statistics covering
The total quantity of bituminous in
storage by consumers June l., 1925,
was placed at 3S,OOO,O00 net tons,
against 44,000,000 on March 1 and
ol,O00,OO0 on June l. 1924.
The trend OF Stocks" a statement
said, has been steadily downward
since the early part of 1924 and the
heavy reserves built up by consumers
in late 1923 have been reduced to
more normal proportions; in fact, the
present supply is slightly less than

retail dealers of anthracite were
credited with having on hand a So
days supply on June /, an increase
or IL per cent over March l and
slightly more than on June l. 1924
The movement of anthracite in the
lake trade began early this season
and the total at upper lake docks was
placed at close TO 1000 900 tons,
double the quantity a year ago.
The survey declared it was unable
to> estimate the total of anthracite
stored by producers at mines or at
intermediate points. Storage is prac-
ticed more by anthracite producers
than by the bituminous producers.
