"Who is Billy?" some folks ask, "and -why should -we be ' in terested in him or his 11,000,000. which Is, of course, a lot of money.,, '.. .. Billy, everyone should know. Is one of the Oregon Statesman's comie characters. He was caught on a little boat called "Ambition In the midst of a great ocean, the other day. He sent out a sea gull looking for land. This comic picture was an al legory. It told simply the prob lem of the ambitious boy or girl who wants to succeed in life. Of course, . mere ability to make moneyr -" is not the only , sign of success,' for many people who hare never made much money are among the most successful, people in the .world. But, for the I mo ment, 'money was picked as the sign of success. How, then, can Billy make a million? Little readers of the Oregon Statesman . were asked to write ' the editor of . the paper telling in 50 words or less. Just how he might best do it. So many an swers : were received that only a few can he published here. The first comes from Route 1, and reads: ' ' . ; " ". "The way Billy can make a mil lion,, is to go on a summer vaca tion to some Island' in the Pacific and find a little hut; take up the floor and find some papers which direct, him to a tunnel where he finds hurried treasure; enough In gold bars and diamonds to make him $1,000,000.01. So they get married and live happy ever .after. ' ' "Your truly, ' . "Argyle G. Harris, age 11 years. ' Mr. Harris, , that is an ingeni ous answer, and we surely hope Billy will, our some occasion, find his money tht way. ! The, next let ter is addressed to Billy himself: "If you are sailing as it shows in your picture, you may come to a pirate ship, r The pirates might capture yeu and show you their treasure island. Some night steal away and take their treasure and sail back to your uncle. 'Your truly, j "Hortense Taylor, "63 State Street." Good,, too, and sometimes happens that way. Eilly would not mind having it turn out that way, even though he may stumble upon some other. The next shows intimate study of Billy's past: "Dear Billy; J "You can make a " million by working for it, or else by some one giving it to you like the people did when you were asleep, and your uncle made sign and put a lot of money in your hat. ! : "Yours truly, j "Orville Brown, 1306 N. Church street. Highest honors, however, go to the writers of the following: "Dear Sir: "A way in which Billy can make a million dollars is "work, work and never shirk." "Vickey & Aley, "Pleasant point School, "Turner, 6regon." Whether Billy makes, or made, his million -some other way, most boys and most girls, who drive their own cars some day, will have made their money on that- form ula. A great many people have become very wealthy just because they did that. All really success ful people, whether wealthy or not. believe In that truth. Whether or not Billy's fortune comes that way. a good many boys and girls will find the; best road to success marked : "Work, work and never shirk New Profession Is Opened in Pans; American Lawyers Are Observed SPIGFIISII HH S Stream of Ice Cold Water Is Not-Affected by South em Drouth ATLANTA . Ga. Georgia and the southland are recovering from . a drouth of unprecented severity during which many streams and water sources dried up and all rec ords for aridiyt were broken, but .through it all, a cold stream of pure water continued to flow from the side of a beautiful foliaged bill on' which, some sixty years ago, was located the Andersonville mil itary prison, of the Southern Con federate army. - This is "Providence Spring," In Sumter country. Local history has it that in the closing days of the war between the states, that section suffered ; from the effects . of a drouth which dried up all mall streams and wells? leaving no water supply , for th emany thousands of Federal prisoners of War' confined within the over crowded and fever-stricken camp Quinine had been contraband of war and none was available to re lieve the burning fevers which created an Insatiable thirst for wa- ' ter. These conditions existed for days while the men. In their delir iHm, madly scratched holes in toe ground with their bare hands In their attempt to strike water. Fi- sally, after having reached the end of their resources and too weary and exhausted to put forth more physical effort, they dropped to their' knees and prayed to God to send them relief. ! jl . While they were still praying, a bolt of lightning struck the hill side. Just outside the "dead line", and a fountain of sparkling, cold water gushed forth to cool the parched tongues whose prayers had been heard. Today one may visit the prison camp and find the holes marked off and enclosed within iron fences and the staked off ''dead line" which was extended to bring the spring within its confines, bear ing evidence to the miracle that was performed there in the 'six ties. The fountain has been hous ed in an ornate work of masonry, in which is inserted a bronze tab let Identifying it as "providence Spring," and relating the above story. . .. . . , Adjoining the camp j is Ander sonville National Cemetery, cover ing an area of 120 - acres and where rests in eternal peace, near ly 14,000 of the boys in blue who succumbed to the ravishes of 'the fever and other diseases. Virtually all of the names on the plain stone slabs are preceded by the word "Private," with here and there one marked "unknown." - PARIS Marriage brokerage has been almost entirely displaced by divorce brokerage as a profit able profession in Paris. American fathers and mothers are extremely reluctant to provide the dot necessary to pay , the .mar riage broker's fees. But wealthy husbands and wives who want their freedom are willing to pay liberally for fast action. The brokers work on the steam ers coming over from New York and haunt the fashionable hotels along the Champs Elysees and the Rue di Rivoti. Negotiations are carried on at tea dansants and at the merry dinner dances at Ciro's and the Perroquet, which wealthy Ameri cans frequent. The methods are very similar to those of the American ambu lance chaser. Divorce brokers make the acquaintance of all Americans on the Paris-bound boats who look unhappy. Casual references are finally made to the speed and lack of publicity with which Mrs. Gold Pots got her di vorce in France the previous month. "Oh, yes, it was that wonderful lawyer, Mr. X., who turned the trick. He is so clever and has never failed to get speedy re suits. And he is -such a gentle man and so discreet." Mr. X may be either a Frenchman or an American. The brokers pay little attention to nationalities. Many of the brokers are divorcees themselves and supply personal testimonials as to the painless and effective methods of the attorneys they are touting. An American woman of consid erable wealth, who has never mar ried, remarked to a group of friends In a hotel de luxe on the Place Vendome: "A mere spinster isn't in it in Paris any more. The dancing men pay attention to the married wo men and try to get them to hit the divorce trail. It pays. It isn't necessary for 'married women to hire Jlggilos any more. The jig gilos have ail gone to work for the divorce lawyers. I think I shall apply for a Job myself." Competition has become so keen that one enterprising broker is trying to get steamship lines to announce special accommodations for divorce seekers in the third class, so more less wealthy Ameri cans may be induced to avail themselves of the French courts Painless divorces now are ad vertised on the billboards of Paris along with painless dentistry. There are special divorce newspa pers and all Americans, immediate ly upon their arrival in Paris, re ceive announcements from bureaus which offer satisfactory settlement of all marital difficulties.

Scout news, furnished by the boys themselves, will be found regularly in the Sunday issue. This Is the first Sunday that we have been given regular news paper space, this space will be available for us every week. We want interesting news items from each troop every week. Each troop should appoint a troop re porter who will be responsible for the publication of the weekly events of his troop . Of course If your troop isn't doing anything we won't hear from you. In order to insure publication your troop news must be in to the Scout headquarters not later than 9:30 Friday evenings. Which troop will give us the livest dope? Patrol Leaders to Meet The patrol leaders of the state are having their annual meeting at Portland and while there are the guests of the Portland Scouts. Twelve Eagle Scouts will be pres ented their Eagle 'Badges from Governor Walter M. Pierce. The Scout from this council who is to receive his Eagle Badge is Charles Campbell of Dallas. Charles has made splendid ad vancement in Scouting during the past two years and. is well quali fied to receive this, the highest rank in Scouting. The Scouts and officers of the Cascade Coun cil extend to him their hearty con gratulations. We feel sure that he will show the true spirit of Scouting in being of valuable as sistance to the younger Scouts who are coming up, step by step through the ranks of Scouting. Scouts Will Camp The winter camp of the Cas cade Council will be conducted from December 26 to 31. Arrange ments have been made for the camp to be held at Neskowin, this will be a splendid location for the winter camp as the cabins will be well heated so no matter how hard Old Man Winter may hit, the scouts will be assured of a warm dry place to eat and sleep Here you may have all the out door activities of Scouting, prac tically the same a3 those of the summer camp with the exception of swimming which we will pass up this trip. It is expected that there ill be a large attendance and we will have to limit the camp to fifty Scouts, many will want to attend and those who get their applications in first will be the lucky guys. The cost will be about 15 0ft which will include all meals, rent of cabins and transportation to and from the coast. This camp is open to Scouts of Corvallis, Al bany and McMinnville as well as Salem. If you wish to take ad vantage of this register at once at Scant headquarters, 301 Derby Building. Three Xew Troops The organization of Scout troops in McMinnville is proceed ing satisfactorily as three new troops have been organized with in the past week.

Fortune claims to have ben the first enter tainer to sing song-hits to the ac- c o m p a n iment of stereoptlcan slides. It was in 1896, in the American theatre on Chicago's north side that he was engaged to introduce this startling innovation to the play-going pwolic.

Germany Next Country to Go Dry, Dr. Cherrington VVK8TERVILLE. Ohio. De spite the fondness of many Ger mans for their beer, Dr. Ernest H. Cherrington, general secretary of the World League Against Al coholism, believes that Germany j will be the next great country to go dry. Economic conditions will demand the change. -i ','The European industry-Is find ing It hard now to compete with American Industry," he said. "The reason is mat proniDition is re flected in a better American work man, and this improvement goes all along the line." x Dr. Cherrington says that the adoption of prohibition by either Great , Britain or Germany will cause other countries of the world to fall in line.

Your children will gain much that will help them in the contest if they learn these thoroughly. - Marche Slav ' ' Tschaikowsky,, . Peter Iljltcb (1840-1893) h WoUnsk, Russia, Tschaikowsky has immortalized the Russian folk songs, having made use of them in nearly all his works, v In the "Marche Slave" he has used several of these- folk tunes for his themes. The com position was inspired by: the Ser bian rebellion against the oppres sion.of Turkey in 1876. Russia was forced to come to .the old of Servia in . 1877, with the result that Servia won her independence. Tschaikowsky in 1878 composed the "Marche Slave" as a represen tative march for all the Slav races. The "Marche' begins with the pounding of drums a call for the Slav people to battle. Then the strains of a folk tune are heard in weird minor as if prophesying war. The oboe is used here to give the wailing chant effective ness, and the theme is then tak en up by cornets, the drumming ac companiment stll Ibelng used Now after a.stormy commotion in the woodwinds the chant is again heard,-this time with all dignity. Gradually this dies away in the distance and the first part closes A new rhythym now appears, a joyous dance motive, a forecast of triumph In battle. In the great climax Is shown a combination of dance rhythym under which the Russian national air is heard and then the national air breaks out In full orchestra. The finale, a move ment of unrest In preparation for the coming battle, brings this re markable number to a close. Saint D'Amoor (Love's Greetings) Elgar, Sir Edward (1857) b Broadheath. England. , , Sir Edward Elgar is one of the most distinguished of living com posers. He was kngihted In 1904. Almost entirely self-taught he has nevertheless risen until he is an outstanding figure and his compo sitions are world famous. Among his smaller compositions none Is better known or better loved than this VSalut d'Amour." It I a modern serenade and was written as a tribute to the composer's sweetheart. r " ..
