Don't be silly, Don," his sister

and AN OLD CRAY HORSE
WORK farm AND MAKE Il. PAY

OROVILLE, Cal, Sept. 3D.
Ever hear of a manless, boyless
farm?
There are few.
A chore boy on farm is a fac
totum much to be desired, and a
man is regarded as a positively
necessary first aid to agriculture
Except at Thermal Heights, the
fruit farm of Mrs. Alice Mcmillan,
three miles west of this town of
gold dust and oranges.
1t is no place for either young
or old of the male persuasion. Mrs.
Mcmillan and her old gray horse
do all the work that's done there.
Mrs. Mcmillan plows, hoes and
rakes the soil, gathers the fruit
crops, prunes the trees, destroys
the tire pests, mends the fences,
house and barn, feeds the horse
and poultry, milks the cow-well,
you can imagine the work, even
on a five-acre farm, outside Of
woman's usual tasks.
She works from sunrise to sun
set. She doesn't worry because
her work, like most women's, is
never done. If there's more work
ahead, there's just so much more
fun for Mrs. Mcmillan.
Her days of blowing through
The shady spaces of her orchards

more often by homework. The

uccess of farming when necessity
rises.

Youngsters Who Wish to Join
Must Have Honor as Their
Watchword and Obey the Scout
Law.
BY @. L. Gilman

An organization which didn't
have rules to go by wouldn't
amount to much. The boy scouts
have set of rules to live up to
which are worthy of observance
by any boy-or man, for that mat
ter.
This is the scout law referred to
in the scouts oath. Every scout
should study this law and do his
best to live up to it. IL he fails
he should remember
that fellow may be forgiven for
a FALL once in a while, but that
the chap who QUITS Is no good
whatever.
Here is the scout law:
IA scouts honor n to be
trusted. If a scout were to break
his honor by telling a lie, or by not
carrying out an order exactly
when trusted on his honor to do
so, he may be directed to hand
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-09-24


over his scout badge, and never to
wear it again. He may also be
directed to cease to be a scout.
"A scout is loyal to his coun-
try, his officers and his parents.
He must stick to them through
thick and thin against anyone who
is their enemy or who even talks
badly of them.
"a scouts duty Is to be USE
full and to help others. He must
be prepared at any time to save
life or to help injured persons.
And he must try his best to do a
yood turn to somebody every day.
A scout is a friend to all,
nd brother to every other scout,
matter to what social class the
Jther belongs.
5.-A scout is courteous. That
is, he is polite to all, but especial
ly to women and children, and old
people and invalids, cripples, etc.
And he must not take any reward
for being helpful or courteous.
ga scout is a friend to ami
mails. He should save them as
far as possible from pain, and
should not kill any animal unnec-
essarily. Killing an animal for
food is allowable.
IA scout obeys orders OF his
parents, patrol header, or scout
master, without questions. Even IL
he gets an order he does not like
he must do as soldiers and sailors
do, he must carry 1t out all the
same because 1t Is his duty; and
after he has done-it he can come
and state any reasons against it;
but he must carry out the order
at once. This is discipline.
S.-A scout smiles and whistles
under all circumstances. When
he gets an order he should obey
1t cheerily and readily, not in a
slow, hang-dog sort of way. Scouts
never grumble at hardships. nor
whine at each other, nor swear
when put out. The punishment
for swearing or using bad Ian
guage is for each offense a mug
of cold water to be poured down
the offenders sleeve by the other
scouts. It was the punishment
invented by the old scout. Capt.
John Smith, 500 years are
