FAST RIDE BEHIND LOCOMOTIVE GAVE SCOUTS THRILL |= National Jamboree Events Re- viewed. by Paul Netland Before Club Monday As might be expected biggest thrill tor the biggest number of Boy Scouts who attended the national jamboree in Washington this summer was to travel 90 miles an hour behind a stream-lined Ive. ‘That is what Paul O. Netland, Mis- souri Valley area scout executive, told the Lions club Monday as he reviewed the hegira of North Dakota boys to the nation’s capital and the shrines nearby. Value of organization was learned before the Missouri valley delegation had traveled 125 miles, Netland said. At Jamestown, the boys all lett the train at once and crowded into the lunchroom there with the result that few were able to eat. From that point on, officers took charge at every stop that was made to keep every- thing orderly. Attracting most attention of visi- tors at the camp in Washington was the Paul Bunyan section of 1,200 northwest. The mythical logged off North Dakota and had as @ pet a blue ox that measured 42. axe and-a plug of tobacco be- tween the eyes was the theme carried out in the entrance to the camp sec- tion, Netland said. .It obtained major attention on the part of the newspa- pers in the east. Ptenty of Sight-Seeing Programs for each day were plan- ned 24 hours in advance, the main feature of each day’s program being an educational trip to one of Wash- ington’s interesting sights. Com- mander Wallem, former Washburn resident, arranged a trip through the navy yards. A former Bismarck wom- an entertained. The-- congressional delegation staged a watermelon feast. Leonard Kositzky, local Scout, was introduced. He told the Lions his biggest thrill was receiving his Eagle badge from Daniel Carter Beard, ven- erable Scouting leader. Dr. A. M. Fisher told the club of a vacation trip through northern Iowa, Wisconsin and the Minnesota iron ‘range. He was particularly impressed by the Grotto shrine in Iowa.

Cotton, secre: tary of the state livestock sanitary board, as he reported the disease is rampant in seven midwest states. Dr. Cotton revealed that 2,313 cases ot the equine encephalomyelitis have been reported to his office thus far, indicating that probably twice as many cases are prevalent in Minne- sote. There is little that can be done how about'the disease, which is at- tributed to the mosquito, said Dr. Cotton, since the supply of anti-ence- phalomyelitis serum and vaccine in the United States is virtually ex- hausted. “A. lot of fakers and racketeers are soliciting farmers, claiming to have a Medicine to shoot into the necks of horses,” Dr. Cotton asserted. “ fakers are merely taking advantage of the prevailing conditions. The Products recognized as having virtue are practically exhausted. A vaccine can do no good unless administered to the animal prior to exposure.” The epidemic, according to Dr. Cot- ton, is prevalent in North Dakota, ‘South Dakote, Montana, Nelesska, Towa, and Wisconsin, in addition to Minnesota. He said a decided frost 48 required to stop it.
