The organized boys’ work in Austin is in serious danger of being ma-
terially curtailed for lack of financial aid.
This is an appeal to each man and woman who can afford to give a few
dollars each year to a highly organized work which is building the future
manhood of our city.

and we sincerely hope that our appeal will be heard.
On next Tuesday and the balance of this week committees from the
several civic and luncheon clubs will call on the business men in the down-
town section, who have not already contributed and it is hoped that your
response will be liberal. To those who have no business address a pledge
card is reproduced below which we will be glad to have you fill out and mail
to Fred Pryor, treasurer, local Boy Scouts, with a check attached for half
the amount pledged for the first year. Don’t wait for the solicitors to call
on you, but fill out the card below and send it in.
There should be at least 5,000 contributors to this work in our city of
50,000 people and up to this time there are only 250 and you will have to
admit that the cause for which we are asking aid is of the very highest or-
der and worthy of your consideration and assistance. We hope our appeal
will reach your hearts and open your pocketbooks.

of the great classical
American patriotism written by
Edward Everett Hale. Philip
Nolan, "the man without a coun-
try,’’ remains a pathetic and trag-
ic figure. Confined for a half
century aboa d an American war-
ship and sentenced never to hear
spoken the name of the country
he had renounced in a moment
of madness, Philip Nolan had re-
deeming qualities.
But Bergdoll, as a man without
a country, has a record of unbe-
lieved infamy. Philip Nolan was
impetuously foolish. Grover Berg-
doll is guity of carefully-planned
desertion of his country when she
needed him. The country will re-
member Philip Nolan as a man
whose soul was redeemed by love
of his country before he died.
Grover Bergdoll is in danger of
going down to posterity as the
' most conspicuous American trait-
or since Benedict Arnold—and a
far mo e despicable one.
In these days of habeas corpus
it would be impossible to keep
an American an involuntary pris-
oner long aboard a batt’eship,
but why could not a better pun-
ishment be adapted to meet Berg-
doll’s case? It would be fine, for
instance, if we could only seep
him in continuous exile and de-
port him if we caught him sliding
back home.

ticpated in the American Legion's
national essay contest on the subject,
“How Can the American Legion Best
Serve the Nation," Ah Sing Ching, a
14-year-old boy of Chinese extraction,
from far-away Ewa Oahu, Hawaii, was
awarded first prize.
Second prize was awarded to Mise
Pauline Virginia Chastain, of li

Bridgeport, a boy of Italian descent,
won third prize. Honorable mention
was made of the essays of Philip E
Mosely, of Westfield, Mass., and Ralph
R. Sullivan, of Twin Harbors, Minn.
National prizes are 1750, $500 and 1250,
the money to be used for scholarships
in any university or college. They
were awarded by Hanford MacNider,
