LAD OF 13 SAVED BY AMERICAN LEGION pmms BY BERT & BATES terviewed they were buay bruihln' the climate off n their clothes. The best way to beautify Rose-1 burs Is to export knockers and loafers. Howevejr, they're gradually married off. Anyhow give us the big open faces, out where men are men and wimmen are expensive. 4 4 ; j; Due to the alertness of officials of the American Legion of Oregon, the son of a veteran who was killed overseas, was " last week saved from the stigma of serving a term in the State Reform School and instead enrolled as a student of the : Oregon Military Academy. Leaving the family fireside 'through the aversion to a stepfather and threatened with commitment to the State Reformatory on a charge of incor- rigibiliy preferred by his parents, the son of a former ser ; vice man of Klamath Falls, who had fallen on Flanders Field - in defense of his Country's Cause, was rescued from his piti ' Jul plight through the vigilance and efforts of Klamath Post No. 8, American Legion, and officers of the Department of Oregon at Portland. From stories gathered by Legion of ficers, the lad, 13, bright and precocious for his years, simp ly reveres and worships the memory of his father who was killed in the World War and when a step-dad came into the family to fill the place of a father "who gave the most" for his Country, the son became fretful and discontented. Klam ath Post hearinur of the bov's predicament and believing that j water the lawn today, li wna nnt a nrnnpr Riiliiwt fnr the reform school, netitioned i 4 the County Court to send him to the Deaverton home until . such time as he could be taken care of through the operation . of the Endowment Fund. Consent of the Court having been obtained, the boy was placed in the Beaverton institution but i action, he remained there only a short while, when with two other boys, he ran away. He was caught at Woodburn and taken to Salem where Legion officers again became active and due to the efforts of J. W, Valiant, State Service Officer, Carl R. ' Moser, State Adjutant and W. R. Canton, Service Officer of Klamath Post, the boy was enrolled as a student at the Ore gon Military Academy through special arrangements with ' that institution. Togged out in the regulation uniform of the school, which kindly State Legion officials had provided, Jthis exiled orphan of a veteran, in colors that reminded him of those his Daddy wore when fighting in the trenches of - Europe, stepped forth from State Headquarters of the Le ' gion, his face radiant with smiles as he thought of entering ' the academy, where proper training will fit him for useful citizenship in his home state. Word has been received from Klamath Post that as a result of this activity by the Legion "a fellow who has always fought the 'Legion has expressed his ' willingness to make his bonus payable to the Endowment I Fund," just goes to show what the American Legion is doing i for children of veterans who made the "Supreme Sacrifice," 1 commented J. W, Valiant, as he started from headquarters to - accompany this war orphan to happy environs in the Oregon Military Bchool.

I President Coolidge told the Daughters of the American Revolution, that if the people do not want the government in- - terfering in their private affairs, they must so conduct them- .selves that the government will not hnve to interfere. This ! is the ideal that philosophers have long held in view. They I have dreamed of a state of society so pure, that there would not have to be many laws. In that Utopian state of freedom, ; the peojile would have such correct impulses, that they would ; not have to be driven into good conduct. In this selfish I w.orld, that ideal is a distant one. But we can all do some- - thing to make it come about. Every time some one hands out justice and kindness to some one else, he helps bring on the day when our present complicated system of laws shall be set aside as obsolete and unnecessary. " Twelve per cent of all the school children of America ttre said to have such defective vision as to be handicapped -in their work. Some children fall behind because they can not sec the blackboards on which the work is being done, and they are too bashful to ask for better seats. Kye strain causes headache, which handicaps a pupil. Information is : being distributed to school authorities stating the code of re , tiuirements which is supposed to be necessary in order to ' jjirovide adequate lighting for a schoolroom. The older build ings do not always have sufficient light, but conditions could - in many cases be helped by suitable coloring on the walls, ar- 'rangement of seats and desks, the use of window shades, and better artificial lighting on dark days. A well lighted school room ought to be a cheerful one, in which the children will ' do better work.

Our troop did not hold a rpRii lar business meeting Monday evening, bnt Instead met on our modt'l camp aile back of the lmp qua Hotel and worked on the mo del camp. Some of the remits built rustic fence while others helped on the sipnal tower. And while we do not all know his name, we have a good friend in "Sourdough Jim." He la very much interested In the success of our camp and works hard on It too. We worked on that until dark and thrn spent considerable time In talking over different matters of interest in scouting and adjourned at the regular time. Fellows, we hope more of you turn out to help on the mo del camp. chairs about six feet apart and facing each other and try to fori each other off their chairs. Every J one took several turns at this and we all enjoyed It. J Our Strawberry carnival com , mittee is asked to meet with the j executh'e anytime before the next troop meeting. , We are going to hold nn over j night h-ke this Friday night at ' the camp ground. Hring plenty i to eat and a couple of blankets to keep warm in. We'll have a good i fire. TIIOOP TWO X KWS. Our regular meeting was held at the ramp grounds again. We took our "eats" and cooked our own suppers. Several brought wieners but we all think we should learn to cook something besides wieners. , Those of you who have been bringing them, please bring something else to cook for change. When we have hot dogs, let's all have them. One, tendiTfoot test was parsed at the meeting. Some tests have been held up. because our scribe has either been absent or has not brought his record book along. Turn over a new leaf. Harold, let's not hold up any tests. Those who came late, were Stanley Kidder. Conn Peterson and (Jeorge Minturn. Thoe ab sent were Ira Byrd. Karl Iong, Peter Sumerhalter, leter Rus sell, Victor Byrd, Carl Stephens and Arthur Long. We hare one scout who through error was awarded his First Class badre. He was allowed to keep it because he promised to go be fore the Court ot Honor last month to qualify for it. He did not show up but wo expect him tn uphold the honor of the troop this month nn the 1"th. Who i this? He Is In our troop. He always does thinns ankt'd without grumbling and is next to the highest In the troop, has light hair, is a good swimmer and In fa't on ideal scout. Hand In your guess to Mr. Crawford at next meeting. Another pood game of man hunt was enjoyed by all. Mr. Crawford and the executive were the objects of search and some times they were very hard to find. One of in stumbled all over one of the men without find ing out that he was even war.

They will be able to tell us a lot of things that we want to know. man and K. Quiivs met at Scout headquarters Tuesday evening and discussed mutter pertaining to this year's summ) camp. Since two of the members have not seen the Wolf Creek site, it was de cided that the committee should take a trip up there and look it over. Mr. Johnson, Mr. Runyan. Mr. Jackson and the executive will probably accompany them. The time of camp has not yet ne?n decided and the cost of camp .it not known, but it will be np I proximately ten dollars for two I weeks. The price last year was 'seven dollars but that was not enough to cover, there being a bill for food or eighty three dollars I to pay from this year's budget. Mr. Shot well, of Portland, who cooked for the boys last year made such a hit with them that it was decided to try to secure him for this year. This camp is open for scouts all over the county. As soon as the time has been set, registra tions should begin at once. Save your pennies, scouts. Sl'THKItUX TItOOP XKWS. Sutherlfn In reality has not had a scout troop for some time. Our scoutmaster left town and we ! have just secured another man ! for that job this week. Mr. Isaac j Quick has consented to serve and Mr. Archie Currier has aureed to : help him whenever he can find i the time. Mr. Quick has the boys' interest at heart and since the boys are anxious tp get started the troop should soon be going In fine shape. ItAlX TIIOOP. I No news has been received from j Irain this week.
