Kobs, president of the Junior Association of Com- merce, Decision to sponsor the Boy Scouts’ annual Halloween party, part of the Program of which is to systematically Patrol all parts of the city to guard against damage by pranksters, was reached by the board of directors of the young businessmen’s organization Monday evening. Under the plan as suggested by Paul O. Netland, area scout executive, nine troops of scouts will be stationed in various sections of the city next Sat- urday night. Their headquarters in all but one instance will be in school buildings. Formulate Own In charge of each group will be its scoutmaster and assistants, but the Patrolling and vigilance program of each will be formulated by the troop itself. The boys will assemble at 8 o'clock and will patrol the city until New York, Oct. 27.—(7)}—The presidential contest of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Alfred M. Lan- don will hold the headlines across the nation Nov. 3, but a lot of other interesting things will be happening, too, as follows: Alex Tinsley, justice of the peace in Ansted, Fayette coun- ty, Charleston, W. Va., will be tunning for the state legislature from a jail cell. He was tossed in the brig after conviction for assault on a fellow magistrate. “Bein’ in jail is helping’ me get votes,” he says. He was released over the week-end however until Nov. 5. There's something highly sig- nificant, if it can be worked out, in two election problems that face voters in Nebraska and Georgia.

Men Te pare Supper This Halloween night supper will be prepared by members of the junior association, who will take over the domestic science room in the junior high school building for this worthy venture. About 10 o'clock cans of hot, steaming cocoa and pan upon pan of inviting hot dog sandwiches will be sent out in all directions to head- quarters of each of the scout troops. t is the plan of the junior association ‘0 feed every boy participating to his heart's desire and the committee is ordering what it believes will be enough to feed 400 boys under the program. Tn outlining the plan to the direc- tors, Netland pointed out that for the ee, years the Boys Scouts have pat ied the city effectively. The pro- gram was launched following a year in which disastrous results were suf- fered by the city in damage by prank- sters. In 1933 Halloween damage ran into thousands of dollars. Training in Citizenship In addition to discouraging dam- age, the program affords the Boy €couts another opportunity for citi- Zenship training, and this appeal has been very effective in stimulating the + enthusiasm of the boys to the venture.

Has Demoralising Effect The demoralizing effects of drink upon these who use it are obvious, he said, and asked his hearers to re-| call if they could mot recall persons; in thelr own experience whose lives had been ruined by over-indulgences in liquor, The Catholic church does not teach it is a’sin to take a drink, he said. It does hold that, if the taking of a drink results in harm to the person taking | it or to others, to drink alcoholic liquor is a sin, sin before God and a confession of weakness before men. Drink, he said, has ruined more lives than any other ay me it takes a strong man to re- Sist it. Drunkenness, he said, is a He urged each of his hearers to make a solemn promise to God that he would personally refrain from drinking alcoholic liquors of any kind —and then keep it. ‘God Help Me’ Not Enough Reitering the phrase that “if you want to go to heaven you have got | to go to work,” he said it is not ehough for the person beset by drink to say “God help me.” j \ | i Nebraskans, for instance, will Judge between two candidates for state land commissioner, and at the same time will .pass on a constitutional amendment that would abolish the office.

Hard to Measure in Dollars Many of those who spoke at the morning session said the economic values cannot be based on dollars and cents. For instance, Major John P. Walsh of Huron, 8.

The Missouri river diversion is just as necessary for the district affected as the sunshine is after the rain.” “The completion of the diversion proposal can atid will bring this coun- try back to happiness,” be said.

A large portion of the tangible economic benefits arising from the provision of supplemental water in the two rivers is the in- creased farm values that will be dye to stabilization of living conditions.” “An increase of $5 per acre as the Stabilization effect of possible irriga- tion” was indicated by Mr. Roherty. “As there are at least seven million acres in South Dakota the value from this effect alone is at least 55 million dollars. This is of immediate concefn net only to the farmers but also to the'insurance companies and all agen- ces holding mortgages in that aréa,” he said.
