SCOUT SIGNALS NEEDED
ON HIKE IN WOODS
How Patrol or Outfit Boss Leads
His Bunch; Some Important
Pointers for Boy Scouts of Ia
coma,
BY c. l.. GILMAN.

Get together all the things you
think you will need for a day out
in the open-and then leave half
of them at home.
This is the golden rule of the
real scouts. Carry as little as you
can. and make the country you
travel through supply your needs.
Well suppose that you have al
ready organized your outfit and
chosen your outfit boss" If you
have, your hike" across country
will be under his direction. 1t will
be up to him to manage things
wisely and up to the rest of you to
make his plans success by carry
ing out his orders promptly and
cheerfully. Not to do so would be
to be a "quitter"-and there are
no cutters in the Boy Scouts of
the United States.
When going through the woods
or across the fields don't bunch to-
gether. Supposing there are eight
of you; let two scouts lead the
way. Then let four more of you
march 100 yards, about a block
behind them and spread out so
yards apart. Your leader and his
second in command should bring
up the rear.
This formation gives you each a
chance to devote his whole atten-
ton to seing things-and seeing
things Is one of the big points In
scouting. When you look at any
thing. whether 1t is a tree, bird
or a little wild beast, look at II
long enough to be sure that you
have seen, noticed and can remem-
Der everything about it. At first
you will find that you can look at
bnly very little of what lies be-
fore you, but as you keep up this
practice you will find the time II
lakes you to see all of one thing
growing less and less, and the
humber of things you can see and
remember growing more and more.
Make 1t game.
Pick out some class OF objects.
Duch as wild animals, birds nests,
trees and bushes which bear nuts
pr berries suitable for food, or any
bther class of natural objects, and
lind out which scout can see the
greatest number in a given time.
When your leader calls you to-
gether to rest. let each scout make
bis report of the things of interest
be has seen. Each scout will make
truthful report because, you re-
member, the first scout law Is "A
scouts honor is to be trusted"
These halts should come al
regular intervals, for it's better
to rest before you are tired than
afterwards. Hike 80 minutes and
then halt for Is.
Spoken orders viii be little
good when you are all spread out
and a good scout will never give
away his location by shouting, 90
you had better learn these scou
signals. Some of them are thoss
used BY the English scouts, som,

MARVELLOUS STORY OF RICE GROWING IN ARKANSAS
Wealth Untold Begins TO Flow in
Millions for the Farmers Who,
Barely Existed Eight Years Ago.

Editors Note-Right in the
heart of the United States lies an
almost unknown country-the rich
and fast developing Southland.
Those provincial Americans who
live north, or east, or west, know
little of the vast wealth hidden in
the southern soil-some of 1t al
ready appearing, but only frac-
tion of the untold quantity de-
stined to flow In golden streams
when the awakening of the South
land is complete.
Something of that awakening,
and of the South's enormous posi-
bilities, is told in four strong ar
tieles written for the Tacoma
Times by r. B. Young, editor of
the Memphis Press. The present
article is the first.)

A wheat crop is good If it aver
ages 20 bushels an acre, and 81 a
bushel is a bonanza price fol-
wheat. =
Rice in Arkansas produces Is
or 70 bushels an acre and brings
over 81 per bushel. The costn OF
raising rice averaged SIS. isan
acre in Arkansas last year, inelud-
ing blowing, seed, pumping, har-
vesting, threshing and cleaningsin
the mill. Rice farmers in Arkan-
sas have averaged over $40 an
acre net for the past five years.
Rice culture is only in it's in
fancy in Arkansas. Nothing has
been done looking toward selection
of better seed or fertilizing the
land to produce more per acre.
Avery farmer is crazy over the
wonderful profits to be secured
and many of the NEST informed
fear that the continual raising OF
one crop will finally take all the
plant food out of the soil and that
the production will dwindle.
However, there are 400 square
miles of level prairie available for
rice growing in the eastern part of
the state, enough to raise rice to
feed the world. The rice farmers
are getting rich and have little
thought for the future. If the old
land wears out they say they can
get plenty of new land and start
over again, but at the rate the
northern farmers are pouring into
the rice country there will be little
land left at a reasonable price in
five more years.
The state agricultural depart
ment of Arkansas predicts that I'm
five years the value of the rice
crop in Arkansas will exceed $50
100000.

Rice is one of the most profit
able crops which a farmer can
raise, but the area which will pro-
duce rice in America is limited by

In addition to the big plunge there
are l03 tubrooms, supplied with hot and

Elaborate massage parlors for men

have been installed. A barbershop is
operated at the baths.
The reason for the fact that this ideal
natatorium cost 100000 to build is
found in glance at it's architecture
and construction, as well as at the
equipment. The baths are surrounded,
inside and out, by Pompeiian pillars
and the use of the best sort of build

features of the reinforced concrete
building. The old Roman baths are
suggested by the shape and finish Of
the structure.
Light enters the building through a
wide area of heavy glass in the roof
and in the evening clusters OF electric
lights cast a bright glow over the

are pathways of terrazzo marble, which
composes the floor on every side of the

The arrangements must be sanitary in
