The way the editor of the
Sentinel Juggled the truth In his
last Saturday's Issue was simply
something scandalous. In fact
his article regarding the cost of
county printing reminded us of
the man who told the whopping
bigfishstorytoa6tra:)ger. The
stranger patiently listened to the
narative and when the fisherman
had finished he said, "do you
know who I am," the fisherman
assured him he did not, "well,
I am the game warden, and you
may consider yourself under ar
rest." "Well," said the fisher
man, "do you know who I am;
I am the biggest liar in seven
counties." ,
Mr. Stewart's article seems
to Infer that the County Court
Isn't capable of looking after
,Uhe county's finances, then as a
kind of a sweetner to the bitter
dose whifh he hands to the
Court he winds up by saying,
"The Court could do nothing
but pay the claim. The work
had been ordered by the old
Court and It was the duty of the
present Court to pay the amount
of the claim."'
Now, this statement i3 noth
ing more than a malicious lie.
The old Court never had any
thing to do with any of the print
ing mentioned in the Sentinel's
lying article.
According to the Sentinel the
main steal was made on the
printing of the tea thousand tax
receipts printed by the Leader
for the county at a total cost of
$135. Mr. Stewart says he can
do the same Job for $75. Two
years ago this work was done by
a Portland firm and cost the
county $145 and express on the
same which amounted to nearly
$5. We printed the same this
year at a total cost of $135, a
saving to the county of nearly
$15. The paper for making-
these receipts cost us $73.50 laid
down here In Toledo. Each re
ceipt had to be printed In dupli
cate and the law printed on the
back of the original, making
thirty thousand impressions in
all. Then the receipts had to be
folded, making ten thousand
more sheets to handle. Then
the forms, one for the receipt
and one to print the law on the
back, had to be set up and made
ready for the press. Then the
printing was a delicate Job, the
paper being ruled off in squares
and columns and each word had
to print in its proper square at
the head of a certain column. If
Mr. Stewart was any sort of a
printer he would know some
thing of the work It takes to do
a Job of this sort.
Most of you know what kind
of an equipment the Sentinel
has, also the Leader's. You
know Mr. Stewart and you
know us. We will let you draw
your own conclusions.
We also believe that' all the
members of the County Court
2 are as capable o' running their
omces as is Mr. Stewart.

TOLEDO'S BOY SCOUT
ORGANIZATION
Fox Troop, Noi 159G9, of the
National Boy Scouts of America,
met in regular session at the res
idence of Mr. and Mrs. J. O.
Plank last Tuesday evening, and
it was a most Interesting meet
ing. This company was organized
by Mr. Plank Beveral weeks ago,
and now has a membership of
twenty-two, with the following
officers: Scoutmaster, J. G.
Plank; Captain, Walter McCau
lou; Assistant Captain, Tom
Harding; Secretary, Jim Ross;
i Treasurer, Jim Derrick.
I The little fellows are taking
great interest in the work and
their meetings are devoted to
study of their duties and a social
good time. A representative of
the Leader visited their meeting
t Tuesday evening and witnessed
one of the most orderly, busl
ness-like meetings he has ever
attended. The way the little
chaps followed parliamentary
ruies and stucK to business gen
erally would put to shame a
bunch of we older fellows, who
think we know It all.
The boys are getting their
badges, suits and other par
; aphrcnaiia and by Summer time
win De in line working order,
They are now planning to put on
a play to raise funds to buy ncc
eBsary books and provide head-'
quarters. The cast in tne play
will be made uu entirely from
the ranks of the company, boys
ranging In age from eight to six
teen years.
Last Saturday Sqoutmaster
Plank with seventeen of the boys
visited the old ranch home of the
former, five miles south of town,
and snent the night. They
cooked their own meals, slept
on boards In sheds, kept fires go
ing all night and had a dandy,
good time generally, They are
figuring on many more outing
trips during the Summer. -
Everyone Is too familiar with
the workings of the organization
of Boy Scouts for us to go Into
detail regarding their work.
Every boy should be a Scout.
Every parent should give Mr.
Plank and hla band of Scouts
every encouragement. They are
doing good work and every boy
who becomes a Scout becomes a
better, more useful and better
mannered boy.

ing.. Vanadium steel, that's why. Vanadium is
' the hardest, strongest, toughest steel mada. It
is the only steel that is hard and tough at the
same time. It is the highest priced steel that is
used in automobile construction. Yet the Ford
is very low in price. Its quality, terms, price and
small cost of operation and upkeep, less than two
cents a mile, have made it the universal neces

' AN EXCITING BEAR CHASE
Conrad Thompson of Beaver
creek was out last Sunday and
G. B. Ryan's dog was with him.
The dog started a bear and after
chasing him for three miles suc
ceeded in putting him up a tree.
When Thompson arrived he
found that it was a hollow cedar
tree and that bruin was inside.
He had two or three matches
and tried to make a fire to
smoke" the bear out, but he was
unable to get a fire started.
Falling In his efforts to start a
fire the brave boy crawled in
side the tree and began shooting
up at .the bear. He could not
see the bear, but after he had
shot several times the blood be
gan to drip, and Thompson
heard the bear growling and
coming down. He got out of
the tree and when the bear got
to the ground the dog rushed in
and grabbed him, rolling and
tumbling about until Thompson
got a shot at the bear's head.
