Has Skating
Rink OF Large Size

Bruno is not to be outdone by other
communities who have come to see
the necessity of providing their young
and old citizens with a means of
healthful outdoor sport during the
winter season and has recently COM
pleted the construction of a skating
ring measuring about $50 feet square.
The Commercial club, which was
recently organized, sponsored the
project, and it is located nearly in
the center of the village in handy
access to water and skating enthus-

Scout Week Is
Being Observed
All Over Nation
Scouting Movement Was
Brought Here From Eng
land p Years Ago.

This week is Boy Scout week in
the United States. Throughout the
nation the idea of scouting is receiv-
ing much attention by exhibits, pro-
grams and demonstrations by scouts
and ScouterS The President spoke
on scouting over the radio Monday
and various programs have come over
the air all this week.
1t was on Feb. 8, 1910, that the Boy
Scout movement started in the United
States, as a direct result of a kind
ness done to a wealthy American in
England. Mr.. w. B. Boyce of Chi
cago, was lost in London in the fog
He inquired his way of boy, whose
name is to this day unknown, and
the boy courteously showed him his
direction and accompanied him to his
destination. Mr.. Boyce offered the
boy tip, but the boy refused it.
stating, "Boy scouts don't take tips
for good turns" and then quickly van
ished in the fog. Mr.. Boyce, greatly
impressed by the English lads kind
ness, made inquiry as to what boy
scout might be, met Lord Baden
Powell, originator of the idea of
scouting, and at once decided to start
the work in America.
Scouting is Widespread.
"The Boy Scouts of America" was
incorporated February 8, 1910, in
Washington, D. c., and was granted
a Federal Charter by Congress on
June 81, 1916. Scouting came to
Pine county very soon after its origin
A troop was started at Pine City
early in 1911 with Mrs. J. Adam Bede
as the sponsor and guide. At Sand
stone Rev. Middlemass was taken
with the idea and started troop
with the assistance of DR.. James
Slaven, now located at Pine City
These two troops functioned vigor-
ously during 1911 and 1912 and each
consisted of about 80 scouts.
Nearly seven million boys have
been touched by scouting in the
United States since it's origin and
today nearly one million, six hundred
thousand boys and men are enrolled
Here in Pine county are several troops
of boy scouts and boys in all the
towns are longing for chance to get
into scouting whenever a sponsor
ing organization and a leader can be
found.
Much Good Work.
The main beneficial feature OF
scouting is the fact that it gives
the boys experience in camping, first
aid and cooking. 1t is healthy sub
stitute for the gang" spirit that may
develop where boys come under the
influence of older boys with low
ideals. 1t takes boys off the streets out
into the open country where interest
ing and helpful instruction may be
had under clean, competent leaders
The need for willing leaders, how
ever, is tremendous and these willing
leaders must also be competent. Boys
joining the scout troop must pass
certain tests and when IL years OF
age may become tenderfoot scouts
IlleH WOIk up W SeCOllu CLASS SCoulS
and first class scouts. After these
steps, begins the quest for merit
badges and when enough have been
earned, the boy may become star
scout, an eagle scout or life scout
There is opportunity for boy to
exercise his leadership ability and
the whole program requires several
years for the boy to master, thorough
ly testing him as to whether or not
he has the real stuff in him.

Tuesday Last Day,
Avoid Tag Penalty

The last day on which automobile
license tags may be ordered without
penalty will be Tuesday, February Is.
The late model cars will require
higher priced tag this year due to
the rise in original price of cars.
The Minnesota license law remains
the same but the increase in car
price makes the difference.

CITY COUNCIL SANCTIONS PROPOSED REDUCTIONS

Consuming just an hour of time Mayor Kilburn and the Douglas City Council ran the gamut of routine business last night at tfie next to the last meeting scheduled before election.
 - Chief interest of the session was concerned with a communication from the Peterman Construction Company, outlining II changes in as many items in their school con- tract from specifications with total reduction in cost of $315.28 and re- questing a change order to cover Principal change concerned choice of a smaller electric range at about $100 low cost.
 There was a little discussion about one of the fire hydrants on St. Ann's Avenue which is still out of order, according to Chairman Balog of the fire and water com mittee. Streets were reported in poor shape by Councilman Nuna- maker. Both cases will be remedied as soon as possible.

The army never mas been able to explain why, but sailors in the navy and better paid. It used to be that sailors got more money for food. That is evened out now. But a sailor, after three months serv- ice, gets $36 a month in addition to food, clothes and hammock, con- pared with $21 for the common soldier The army still gripes about that but nothing is being done about it.
 Desertions ranged as high as per cent during the boom times of the 'twenties when good paying civilian jobs could be had. During the depression the desertion rate has dropped to less than 2 per cent, In the Indian war days assertions ranged from 20 to 50 per cent in certain outfits We don't know why It ought to have been fun, fight ing Indians.

 In addition to advocating an old age pension ranging between $50 and $60 month for people over sixty-five, Vance announced he would seek repeal of Georgia's food and clothing tax in favor of an in creased luxury tax on cosmetics, tobacco, liquor, etc, if nominated and elected.
 He would take control of the eco away from the army and place it under a new national conserva- tion' department. Every enrollee would have to devote three hours of the day to self-improvement, ac- cording to Yancey's plan.

Soldiers are required to wash their teeth and shave, out strange ly enough the army makes them buy their own tooth paste and razor blades. The common soldier gets $2l month and that includes about half the army. Increases ranging from $3 a month on up to top pay of $157 month for master sergeants go to the balance of the army. Of course all get food, clothing and quarters, with sheets on the beds.

Jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun was just
getting ready to go to bed behind the
Purple Hills when Mrs. Quack re-
turned. The first Peter knew OF her
coming was the whistle of her wings
as she passed over him. Several times
she circled around high over the Smil-

n-mouthed admiration at the speed
with which she flew. 1t didn't seem
possible that one so big could move

the only safe place. I didn't dare go
near either shore, and I'm nearly

of the wheat and corn left by Farmer

rather shortly. There hasn't been
anybody near here excepting Farmer
BroWn's Boy, and we told you he

He brought us each a carrot"
Peter Rabbit broke in eagerly.
Just the same, I wouldn't trust
him." replied Mrs. Quack. Where
Is he noW?"
He left ever so long ago and he

confidently.

that terrible gun just after I left
here?"
Yes" replied Jerry Muskrat. "Was
it fired at you?"
Mrs. Quack nodded and held up one
wing. Peter and Jerry could see that
one of the long feathers was missing.
Il thought I was flying high enough
to be safe" said she, but when I
reached the Big River there was a
bang from the bushes on the bank, and
something cut that feather out OF
my wing, and I felt sharp pain in
my side. It made me feel quite Ill

her stout wings in motion and circle
around again. 1t was very clear that
she was terribly nervous and suspi-
cious The third time she landed in
the water with a splash and sat per-
fectly still with her head stretched
up, looking and listening with all her
might.
''Its all right. There's nothing to
be afraid Of" said Jerry Muskrat.
"Are you sure?" asked Mrs. Quack
anxiously. "Ive been fooled too often

she spoke she swan about nervously.

should come back, as she had promised
to, he wanted to be on hand when she
found those good things to eat and
hear what she would say.
So Peter stayed over near the Smil-
ing Pool and hoped with all his might
that Reddy Fox or Old Man Coyote
would not take it into his head to come
hunting over there. AS luck would
have it, neither of them did, and Peter
had a very pleasant time gossiping
