Local Boys Gain
Greatest Honor
AS Eagle Scouts

The last week Of the 1926 boy
scout camp wound up Sunday WITH q :
blaze of activities that marked the
most successful camp, ever held in
the history of valley scouting. AL
though the last week of the camp
embraced only 19 attendants the
highest record for the entire seas
son was set in the matter Of awards
two courts of honor being necessary,
with "a merit badges awarded.
many scouts moved up one rank, and
greatest honor of all, two h0vs of
troop 3 made eagle scouts.
To become an eagle scout is the
goal every sincere scout works to-
ward and means that he has passed
81 of the necessary tests, some of
them quite difficult. Victor Het-
eel and Sammy Eastman were the
fortunate boys who qualified for
this honor, raising the total number
of eagle scouts in Imperial Valley
to II. When one considers that the
number of scouts in the valley is
not quite 500 and that in Los An
geles, where there are over 5000
scouts there are only 81 eagle scouts
in all, the valley record in this re-
spect is remarkable, to say the least.
Several of the boys stayed for the
entire five weeks of camp and voted
it the happiest time of their lives
and every indication points toward
an even bigger and more successful
camp next summer, according to s.
l.. McCrory, scout executive, who
was in charge of activities.

E. j. Obert of Calexico and Frank

scoutmasters during the final week
of camp and were assisted by Sam

assistant scoutmasters.

COOLIDGE NOW
ON THIRD YEAR
AS PRESIDENT
Took Oath as Chief Ex-
ecutive Two Years
Ago Today

SWAMPSCOTT, Mass, Aug. 8
Calvin Coolidge today entered his
third year as President of the
United States, apparently on the
crest of a rising wave of popularity
unequalled, his friends say, since the
era of "good feeling in the un-
opposed administration of President
Monroe a century ago.
Two years ago, in the early hours
of the morning, President Coolidge
was sworn in by his father, jus
tice of the peace, in his father s
home in the Vermont hills. Presi-
dent Harding had died suddenly in
San Francisco a few hours earlier
and Vice President Coolidge emerg-
ed from obscurity to one of the most
powerful positions in the world.
Friends say that in his two years
as president, Mr.. Coolidge has cap
tured the imagination and support
of the American people as no pres
ident since Lincoln has done. His
watchword has been "peace and
prosperity The slogan upon which
he ran for reelection was ",keep
cool. with COOLIDGE His success
probably can be guaged best by his
landslide victory last fall.
Mr.. Coolidge has become the ac-
tual leader of the Republican party
since he became president. His
friend and campaign manager, Will
liam Butler, is chairman of the par
ty. The man who preceded Butler,
Frank T. Adams of Iowa, called at
the summer white house where the
President is spending two months
vacation. The visit was generally
taken as an indicator of new har-
monv within Republican ranks and
possibly as Il victory for the Cool
idge policy seeking to bring the
United States into the world court.
Mr.. Coolidge has made world court
adherence a leading feature of his
administration.

TROOPS SENT TO BULGARIAN BORDER
PACKING SHED
i nOlAlIvu GE1kN
IS DESTROYED
IN FIRE HERE
Large Quantity of Shook
Lost When Building
On Olive Burns

Fire of undetermined origin CON-
pletely destroyed the packing Shed
of Lee Stevens and Pearson Broth
ers on Olive street, close to the
railroad tracks, shortly after l0:30
last night. Several carloads of
shook for lettuce crates, stored in
the shed, were also destroyed.
When the fire department. in an
swer to an alarm from Box PA, at
Third and Orange street, reached
the shed, it was Il mass of flames
on the inside, the corrugated iron
walls and roofs forming veritable
furnace. The heat from the blaze
was intense, causing the firemen to
work from Il distance, with three
streams.
When it was possible to get in
side the shed the firemen spent sew
eral hours tearing apart the piles
of shook in order to quench the
blaze. The fire burned away the
wooden upright supporting the walls
and roof, causing the shed to col
lapse, thereby making the work of
spreading out the shook more diff
ficult.
The shed, which was 40 by -
feet, was built two years ago and
cost approximately $1,000. 1t had
not been in use since the lettuce sea
son, and the shook it contained was
stored in preparation for the coming
lettuce season.
None of the owners could be To-
Gated today, to ascertain the poss-
ible loss or insurance, though Fire
Marshal Stewart estimated the loss
would not exceed $500, including
| the shed and contents.
Investigation by the fire fighters
! failed to single out any particular
cause for the fire. According to
Stewart it might have been caused
by defective wiring, though he
doubted this very strongly. He is
inclined to believe the cause was
spontaneous combustion, or poS
IDLY matches carelessly ignited by
a tramp.
