Boy Scouts OF America

The Boy Scout movement is a grand
thing for this country, and deserves the
attention and support of every thought
full person. Many, however, do not
take part in its work because they do
not understand the aim and purpose of
the movemen. Some have been made
to believe that its aim is to provide a
military training for our younger boys.
While the fact is that its object is not
military, but peaceful scouting and edu-
cational character building for good
citizenship. Its interest is to keep the
young boy from the way of evil, and to
fill up his recreation periods with study
and practice in Campcraft, Woodcraft,
Chivalry, Life Saving, Patriotism, clean
out-of-door sports, ETC., and to give
him the early training which is neces-
sary to the development of an all
around man.
The Cookeville Troop of Boy Scouts
has made splendid progress within the
past year. They have adopted cons
titution and set of bylaws. Also, have
rented meeting hall, and started the
estahlis hment of a scout library. If
some of the good men and women of the
town would take interest in their work
and help them along by volunteering as
leaders, and by organizing a Local
Council to act as their advisors, we
could all be made to realize the full
value of the work of this great move
ment. Those who take it up are sure
to find the work not only interesting
and instructive, but helpful to the COM
munity.
In order to become a full fledged
member, boy must be IL years of age,
satisfactorily pass the required test,
and take the initiative oath, as follows:
On my honor | will do my best:
l. To do my duty to God and my
country and to obey the scout law.
2. To help other people at all times.
8. To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake and morally straight.

reason that he lust wanted the
money" The letter demrndinG

The immigration Station.

After energetic efforts the I'm.
migration Station at New Orleans
is now in active operation and
has been SO for some months.
Great benefits are expected
from this plant erected by the
Federal Government in the shape
of attracting a considera bic flow
of immigrants through the port
of New Orleans. However. just
as every body believed that the
future success of the station was
assured, some apprehension has
been created by the announce
ment that Captain S. +. Redfern,
who is at present in charge of
the plant and has done more to
secure its erection and make it
a success than probably any other
person, is to be replaced by an
appointee from Mississippi, who
has had no connection with tie
immigration service, aud who,
therefore, may reasonably be en-
pected to lack the knowledge
efficiency that are so necessary
to make the new enterprise the
success that everybody expects.
The people of New Orleans
have svery claim to have a voice
in the selection of Il superintend.
ent for the immigration station,
as the city provided the site
gave water connection without
cost and the state erected the
wharf facilities through the Port
Commission. Mississippi has
absolutely no interest in the I'M
migration Station, hencO the
appointment that has been pro-
p ,sed at the request of Senator
Williams, of Mississippi, should
not be made. The Louisiana
congressional delegation is unan-
lmous in favor of Captain Redfern
and it is dllicult to see how tt e
administration at Washington
can ignore their recommends
tiOns and protests unless it he
that President Wilson has de-
creed that they shall be punished
for opposing free sngar, one OF
his pet policies. -Picayune.

What Concerted Efforts Will
Do.

Los Angeles is one OF the most wide-
Iy advertised and prosperous cities IN
the world. With the fcwest OF natural
advantages, it was shut off from the
broad and fertile acres of the mi1d c
west by a big expanse of territory Shat
would support no vegetotion, and by the
high and unbroken Rockies. Its rec
ords are unparalleled in the history oil
cities. Men and money made that city
grow into a land OF delight. when pre-
,iously there was neither city nor land
OF delight.
From the records OF achievements OF
modern cities, it is quite evident that
more has been gained through the con-
certed efforts Of their citizens than
through all other factors combined.
Concerted effort, in its civic and
commercial activities, awakened Bos-
TIN in three years and changed it from
a somnolent, indolent old city, "sitting
upon her purse strings and guided by a
re ID hand" to thriving metropolis
ready TO take chances and fight for her
,hare OF the nations commerce.
Concerted effort put San Antonio on
the map; last year it resulted in two
new railroads for the city.
Concerted effort held forth to the
world Oklahoma City, which is, per-
haps, the most remarkable example "f
city building and development in years.
Concerted effort pushed Kansas City
eff its dead center and made it known
nationally as city Of industry and
beauty.
Concerted effort has made Chicago's
city government efficient, and has solv-
I'd many problems that perplex mu-
inequalities.
concerted effort has overcome tie
cross purposes that were (efeati ig the
onward march OF st. Paul.
Concerted effort has made Cleveland
the sixty city, and is pushing it On To
fifth place.
Concerted effort has resulted in a
united Detroit --an aggressive and en-
tcrprising city that ''knows what II
wants aud ge,sit."
Concerted effort an make New Or
leans, for here we have natural resour'
ses little less than unlimited In posi-
Utilities of development; there remains
10 be quickened to life that "tean
work" which pushes cities forward, TO
cities are not born. they are made
Oities do not grow; they are built. Th'
human equation is great one. Prov
iden.e has given 20 Orleans everything
upon which it has been thriving---i
remains for man to improve these re
sources and to make the most Of them
IL remains for New Orleans to adopt
for one thing, the slogan used by Gin
