Carloads and: bir some instances truckloads of rags were hauled either to the Boy Scout headquarters or to the warehouse where they were to be stored. Big rags, little rags, rags of all descrip- tions, are now lying in the great piles which they have helped to build. and those will be shipped to Fort MacKenzie in the near future so that the exservice men there may weave from them rag rugs and in dcing this occupy. their minds. Troop No. 19 at Mills also entered the rag collecting campaign and canvassed not only Mills but several adidtions west of Casper. “It is the greatest thing the scouts of Casper have Cone,” said H. Roe Bartle, their chief executive, last night, while he enthusiastically pointed to a pile that took up half the room in scout headquarters and represented at that only a portion of the entire amount of work done. Harry Comfort and Mike Foley Casper business men and membe of the Lions club which promoted the work in Casper, contracted sev eral ofl companies yesterday for bates of rags. These rags are pur- chased by the companies in bales for thé work in which they aro en- gaged. The Producers and Refiners, the Mutual, the Ohio, and the Mid- west companies: each gave a bale of rags to the cause while the Casper Supply company donated half a bale. Other companies will be contacted this week. The scouts have not ceased their efforts in collecting rags, and a con- test will be stagea all this week among the different troops.. During the week the members of each troop will take rags collected to troop headquarters. On the meeting nights of next week a committee from the Lions club will weigh the rags colected by each troop and will award an electric signaling ap- WALTON TO RUN OR THE SENATE ‘Acquittal at Polls by Public Verdict May Be Sought by Governor Ousted By Impeachment.
