EAGLE CAPTURES ROOSTER"
Early last week a large eagle
carried away Harry Rutherford's
pet rooster. Saturday morning.
February 8, the eagle returned and
made an attempt to catch Harry's
prize-winning hen. This wa more
than our her0 could bear. He reiz-
his 45-00 rifle, ran into the
barn yard, and fired. When the
smoke had cleared away he found
the big bird on the ground near
tho hen coop apparently lifeless but
unmarked. He picked up th eagle
and started to the house. However
the bird, only stunned revived and
sank a vicioua talon into one of
Harry's pet calves. With an angry
bellow, Harry gamely struggled with
with captive until he had him rm
prisoned in a box. Then an evil and
revengful thought prompted tho in
jured lad to attnch a half stick of
dynamite with fuse and cap to the
bird's leg.
Up the bird shot, fuse sputtering,
uutil he was but a speck In the
sky. Our hero watched expecting
momentarily, the blast of flame and
a loud roar, and to see the eagle
lorn to bit''. Harry saw the bird
descend In a moment, however, over
the barn yard and alight on tho
barnl A line of smoke marked the
burning fuse!
With a desperate resolve, hand
some Harry rushed into the barn
to release Dobbin, his saddle horse,
when with a loud crash the end of
the barn blew out. Harry hac not
been tho same boy since.

Thrto Score of,. Earth' Countries
Represented by Scout Have
Ten Million Member
Last Saturday was the twentieth
anniver. ary of the" birth .of the Boy
Scout activity in the United States.
Since that time the movement has
expanded until today the member
ship has reached over ten million,
and is still growing. Below'we print
a short history of the Scout order,
written by Dr. L. S. Stovall, late
scoutmaster of the local troop:
The month of February, 1930.
terminates the twentieth year in the
life of the Boy Scout movement
Twenty years ago February 8
1910, a temporary headquarters wa"
opened in the Y. M. C. A. building
New York City. There an organiza
tion was perfected and commis
sioners appointed. Daniel C. Beare"
was made chief scout master com
missioner and James E. West wa
made chief Scout executive.
Of the firs executive board ap
pointed six are still active members.
The first 100 adult members to
qualify aa Scout masters were made
Scout commissioners.
A promotional meeting was held
June 21, 1910, with 34 national or
ganizations. The first annual meet
ing of the national council was held
in February, 1911, in Washington
D. C, in the East room of the White
House, where the delegates were ad
dressed by William Howard Toft,
the then president of the United
States. President Taft was elected
fir t honorary president of the or
ganization of Scouts, and each suc
ceeding president has been pleased
to 8erve in this capacity.
The Boy Scouts of America I'
dignified by a federal charter grant
ed by congress in 1916. Only tw
other organization." the Red Cros
and American Legion are similiarl;
recognized.
Since the very beginning of tht
great and good organization thr
movement has steadily increased
On January 1, 1926, there was ar
enrollment of 600,000. Today 9'
per cent of the world's population
representing three score countrie
have adopted the Scout program
Ten million boy have administered
to the Scout oath and law. It i
estimated one million more could be
enrolled if adequate leardership wa
provided.
The adult leadership of Scou
troops realize that the man wh'
works stircessfully ' with boys mus'
understand the boy; he mat have
initiative; h must understand boy
nature; he must be red blooded anc'
right hearted.
Every Scout is a part of this, or
ganization, making for greater love
for the great out-doors and a
keener desire toward nobility of
character. The appreciation of the
Boy Scout movement holds the
greatest promise for the future wel
fare of our country.
Dance Saturday Night
Arrangements have been made
for a dance at Legion hall next Sat
urday night The affair v in '.he
hands of local promoters. Ittu i

construction of the proposed road.
