The play, "Too Many Husbands,"
put on by the Bayfield young people
at Grace church on Tuesday, was
well presented and very muoh enjoy-

The first game of softball was

Rowan opened his lips to speak,
then closed' them.
"You see?" The -- 'girl laid her
hand upon his arm. "Poor Don

it and go out to God's country?
You've earned it, Jim, and you'll find

"How?"
"I was offered a job waiting on

below old Hiram's.
This outfit was in charge of a
young fellow by the name of Hay-
ward, and ono he had become ac-
quainted with Rose he took such an
interest in Friday Creek that he
spent all of his time there.
This Hayward was a fine-looking,
upstanding youth and he undoubtedly
had a way with him. But his way
with women was more agreeable than
his way with men; towards Jim Row-
an, for ',notaries, he displayed the
same air of contemptuous superiority
that he reserved for his employees,
Rose liked' him, however—perhaps
that was the real reason whyJim did

so different in character that a clash

$150 Per Delinquent, 2c Per Scout
According to Walter W. 'Bead,
President of the National Council of
the Boy Scouts of America, the cost
of 'maintaining' the Scout organization
in the city ` of St. Louis„ is 2 .cents
per day per Scout. This he compares
with an average of $150 per day spent
for the arrest and conviction of each
boy charged with juvenile delinquen-
cy.
Housing Projects Include Scout 'Halls
A new housing estate experiment
in the Borough of Heston and Isle-
worth, England,—the setting aside of
a site for a Boy Scout headguarters,
-- has been so satisfactory in results
that the Corporation has decided to
make similar provision on all their
estates. An announcement to this
effect was made by. the Mayor of the
Borough.

his experience to that of other magis-

Jim whispered excitedly to her com-
panions.
"Funny what a fool a mane can
niake of himself," Jim told the young
foreman. "Some day you'll realize
how badly up against it a fellow can
get without knowing it."
"Bah! You rat! There's only one
way to treat a—" Hayward raised
his open hand to slap this object of
contempt, but the blow did not de-
scend, for suddenly his face was del-
iaged by the blinding scalding con-
, tents of Jim's coffee cup, With an
exclamation lie reeled backward al-
most into the arms of the woman at
the piano. He dashed the liquid from

his eyes, cleared them; he gathered
himself to rush upon the figure still

But one of the girls flung herself up-
on him, twined her arms about him,
and in' a voice high-pitched, vibrant
with warning, she cried:

When King George Winked At B. -P.
Lady Baden-Powell, recently speak-
ing of the late King George's interest
in Scouting and Guiding, told of His
Late Majesty's reference to the Prin-
cess Royal's love of Guiding during a
garden party at Buckingham Palace.
"She is always doing this," said the
King, holding up his fingers in the
Girl Guide salute, and with a wink at
Lord Baden-Powell added: "You know,
