A NATION OBEYED HER COMMAND
Across the dark horizon of France there flashed the figure of the great
est woman who ever lived—From a peasant hearth she rose by her
wondrous works until she stood beside kings. At seventeen she was
commander in chief of the French armies. At nineteen she was burned
at the stake by the people she loved

Bor SCOUTS CELEBRATE'
■ i THEIR ANNIVERSARY
i —
The Boy Scouts of America, Cor
dova Troop No. 1, entertained their
relatives and friends in a most pleas
ing manner yesterday evening at their
headquarters in the Red Dragon club
house. While the Stars and Stripes
were being raised the audience stood
up and the Boy Scouts stood at at
tention and gave the flag salute, after
which Scout Edwin Bollinger was giv
en his Tenderfoot badge after having
repeated the Boy Scout oath of prom
ising to do his duty to his God and
country, to help other people at all
times and to keep himself physically
strong, mentally awake and morally
straight.
The audience then listened to the
message from the president of the Boy
Scouts of America, Colin H. Living
stone, in which the service done by the
Boy Scouts during the past year was
shown to be one of national service
and that the coming year would re
quire a higher quality of service and
more of it.
! There are at the present time 292,
000 Boy Scouts enlisted in the nation
al organization with about 25,000 men
in addition to the boys, who serve as
officers and members in charge of
troops and local councils.
After the reading of the president's
message by the scoutmaster the meet
ting took on a more social nature, a
number of games being played, after
which refreshments were served of
fruit and ice cream by the Boy Scouts.
The forty persons present all enjoyed
a good time and the festivities came
to a close by the singing of America.
