fathers and all other citizens of St

scout activities and organization dur-
ing that week as evidence of their
love for boys and their genuine appre-
ciation of a movement which has been
defined as "a process of tanking
real men out of real boys with a real
program" and which leads the boy in
early life to do his duty to God and
country to help other people at all
times and to keep physically strong
mentally awake and morally straight
THE FIGHTING SPIRIT
A statement by an Eagle scout:
Many a person has proved himself
an utter failure In life because he
lacked the pep and the push that com-
pel success
Whyf Simply because he hadn’t
been brought up to put his shoulder
to the wheel lie lacked thnt great
virtue so vitally Important so neces-
sary for a successful career— fighting
spirit!
One of the objects of the boy scout
organization is to tench self-reliance
and persistency to stick to a propo-
sition till it is accomplished to use
discouragement ns nn impetus toward
that accomplishment What finer les-
son could there be? The boy scout is
taught to carry Ids own load without
a murmur without "pulling a long
face” or fulling by the wayside and to
carry it with a smile Each nnd ev-
ery scout is taught to meet the turn-
ing of fate without a flinch
Though the boy scouts’ motto Is “Be
prepared" we might supplement it
with still another: "Don’t give up
till the whistle blows"
Take the average scout what Is
failure to him? He is taught to smile
at defeat lie hits in all the harder
more determined than before to attain
his goal lie takes pride in this spirit
and climbs the hill under his own
power not under the powers and do-
ings of others He puts full faith In
himself and builds his castle on the
foundation of persistency He stands
for the square deal for all thnt is
Just in life and in standing for these
principles he stands for what his en-
tire organization represents
BOY SCOUT FRIEND TO TREES
Every boy scout is a pledged con-
servationist ' He will not only run
the risk of being responsible for a for-
est fire himself but he will preach the
howg and whys of forest fire preven-
tion wherever he goes He will not
willfully hnck or injure trees in any
way and he will interest himself in
fighting tree enemies of all sorts like
the pine blister and the tent caterpil-
lar The trees are his friends and he
la ready to do them a good tqrn when-
ever opportunity offers
BUSY BOY SCOUTS
Sixteen boy scouts of Dubuque spent
their spring-vacation on a canoeing
trip down the Maquoketa river
In recognition of the fine services
of the Boy Scouts of America during
the war a new oil tanker built by the
Swiftsure Company of Portland Ore
was launched recently under the name
of the Swiftscout and christened with
a bottle of water from Wahtum Lake
the scout summer camp by Harold
Adams the ranking scout of Portland
MISS VERNA OVERMAN WEDS
A romance begun more than three
years ago culminated in a wedding of
unusual interest to the people of
Aline Wednesday at Cherckee when
Rev W A Merrill of the First
Christian church read the marriage
service for Miss Verna Ethel Over-
man and Mr J L Thompson The
ceremony was performed ‘at three
o'clock at the parsonage and was wit-
nessed by the bride’s mother and Miss
Bertha Ayres who accompanied the
couple to Cherokee The ring ser-
vice was used The bride' wore a
handsome costume pf blue Canton
crepe over grey with touches of bead-
ed embroidery and with it a large
picture hat of black
Mrs Thompson is the daughter of
Mrs Cenora Overman owner of the
Chronoscope and with S E Lee has
been in charge of the paper for the
last two years She is a graduate of
the Albany Missouri high school and
previous to coming to Aline was as-
sociated with the newspaper at that
place Her capability in this line has
been demonstrated by her work here
where her charming manner and de-
votion to business duties has won for
her a high regard She is also very
popular wtih the younger set and ac-
tive in social and church circles
Mr’ Thompson comes from Billings
Mont and is a former railroad man
While a stranger to the people here
his selection of a life partner proves
him to be a gentleman of excellent
judgment :
The date of the wedding had been
set for early June but Mr Thomp-
son’s arrival here last week had
been delayed at Denver by the flood
in Colorado which disarranged train
service Again Tuesday of this week
the rain interfered with the trip to
Cherokee which was to have been
made on that date But Cupid is ev-
er intrepid and finally won despite
the rain mud and flood
The many friends of Miss Verna"
as she is popularly called will be
glad to learn that the couple will re-
side in Aline where they have the
best wishes of a large circle of
friends for a happy future — M EM

ing his wheat Monday June 13th and

YOUNG CHECK RAISER
Idleness sometimes gets a young
man in bad and owing to ’the rains
the harvest hands have little to do
but shoit crap qnd roam aimlessly
about Gerald Shidell a 16-year-old
youth from Cleveland who had been
working for Dan Muck was one of
the idle ones Thursday and fell for
a poker game just -to pass the time
away Gerald had a check given him
by Mr Muck for $540 but going
against a ful lhouse with a set of
threes set him hack considerably In
checking in he found himself a few
dollars short with the “bank” and in
order to make good eat and also buy
carfare he figured out the easy way
— that of hiking the check to $2540
The check wa soriginally written in
black ink but Gerald used a green
concoction to do the raising and when
presented to Elmer Pollock at the
Alfalfa County National bank he
readily detected the crude juggling
and turned the young man over to
the officers Mr Muck was sent for
and admitted giving the chap the
check and also declared the paper
had been raised Shidell confessed
his shortcoming and seemed greatly
distressed at th eposition in which his
foolishness had placed him Mr
Muck being a kindly man and appre-
ciating the extreme youth of the hoy
refused to prosecute hmi and with a
fatherly talk and some mighty good
advise he was released
