fit derived by the boys in belonging

of the club to get behind the move-
ment and stated that the scout ex-
ecutives of that city would gladly
assist in starting the movement here.
He said in part, that hy becoming
a member of the scouts the boys were
put on their honor to observe cer-
tain rules of conduct, but were never

pension or punishment. There aro

Arm While Practicing
Clarence Griffin, a local baseball
star who is playing with the MemphiB
(Tenn.) Chicks this season, has been
restrained from hard workouts for
the past few days by Manager Clyde

that "Lefty'' was just a bit over-anx-
ious and worked a little too hard, hut
from reports ho will be able to get
a thorough tryout in the seven-game
series with Indianapolis this week.
Clarence White of Paris spent the

E. C. O'Neill showed a precipitation
of 2.18 inches for Sunday. The farm-
ers of the county, however, didn't have
to look at a rain gauge to know that

The big rain Sunday was the first
of any consequence to fall in Red
River county since February 20, when
1.32 inches fell. The drought was be-
coming serious, not only in this sec-
tion but over the entire state.
According to the county agents the
farmers have their land in better
shape than they have had for several
years, and the rain Sunday came at a

the E. L. KIrksey shop ignited a pile
of old lumber. Friday evening about
7:30 o'clock, Just after the tire de-
partment had completed their regular

The blaze was from a burning flue
