It is night flying insect and is attracted by the lights of cities or communities so that only in such places is it necessary to look for traces of it. The dark country possesses no attractions for it and it's spread is always located first by find ing the nests in the trees in city yards or streets.

he Boy Scouts

This organization has become so much part of the boy life of this country that very few people are igno- rant either as to it's existence or the principles upon which 1t is founded. The promotion of the Boy Scout move ment has been recognized as com munity enterprise. It is the commun- ity's opportunity to reach the boy for good citizenship. Under proper direc- tion it can be adapted with equally good results to all classes of boys In order to make the local organization more effective it is proposed to form The organizing of the Local Council and the program of it's activity as re- lating to scouting are evidence to the boy who knows the scout program that the Council is interested in him. Information as to date of meeting, place, etc., will be given later.
 A Scout Masters certificate has been issued by the National Headquarters of the Boy Scouts Of America to Frank Anderson. His Troop is No. 3, and is connected with the Methodist church. Troop No. l, connected with the Bap- tist church, is inactive now, the Scout Master having left town. It is to be revived. Troop No. ? is not connected with any church, the boys being most ly attendants at the Congregational and Roman Catholic churches. Rev. C. J. Hartman of the Episcopal church is Scout Master.
 The Scout movement has no relig- ious teaching or observances. The churches merely furnish meeting pla- ces and backing, having confidence that the movement is for the welfare of the boy.
