BOY SCOUTS IN COMPETITIONS
English Plan to Interest Them in
 Town Improvement.

Washington, July 24-Each year the Boy Scouts of Bristol, England, participate in a cup competition. which is usually designed to interest them in some of the many social problems with which they will come into contact in later years. This year the competition takes the form of reports from each of the four troops, ernbodying good, practical and economical suggestions in the pIainest and shortest language on the best means of beautifying and improving their respective geograph- ical districts.
 ''As the scope of the competition is broad enough to permit all reasonable ideas being included" says the United States Consul at Bristol, fit is hoped that the suggestions will tend to econ ony rather than to expenditure. Scout masters are not expected to advise or assist the boys. who are to gather the information either individually or in groups"
 t Although the competition is primar- fly for the benefit and instruction of the boys, and is formed to fa1niliarize them with their native city and to de- velop them into good thinking and working citizens. it should also be an encouragement to every resident of Bristol to take active interest in municipal affairs.

SHOES FOR ARMY WILL BE BEST THAT
 NATION GAN MAKE

Washington. July 24.-A nation wide shoemaking contest, just brought to a close by the awarding of two army contracts to the winners, produced two hundred and forty pairs Of the most perfect mples of nai1i- tary footgear ever manufactured, ac- cording to the board of army experts who passed upon them.
 t'Next to the quality of the gun he carries, said one of these army ex- dition. of the shoe he wears than up- on any other factor that goes toward the makeup of an effective so1dier.''
 As a. result of this feeling, the United States army Quartermasters have evolved a shoe which, they say. makes the American lighting man the best shod soldier in the world.
 It took over year of continual and careful experiment before satis- factory results were reached. Count less x-raya photographs were made; the position of the bones of the feet were noted and the anatomy before, during and after marches was studied and compared All this time differ ent models were tried and theories were worked out. Finally the type of shoe was evolved with it's straight line on the big-toe side; its snug in- step and a chance for the toes to lie as freely and naturally as in a moe casin.
 When the theory of scientifically covering the foot had been stablished to the satisfaction of the army ex- perts, various manufacturers placed their plants at the arny's disposal in the hope they would .be rewarded with the valuable contracts to sup ply the six thousand pairs worn out in a years marching for Uncle Sam.
 But the Quartermaster corps did not limit itself to a single firm. They worked out a system of having each firm submit a. sample of what it could do. Two pairs Of shoes were offered by each bidder. showing the manufacturers ability to meet ispeci- hcat1ons.
 The two hundred. and forty prize, pairs of shoes were the result, and out of these are being selected the standard for the arny's future foot gear.

The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1914-10-22

By Peter Radford, Lecturer for the
National Farmers Union

Agriculture needs all the
great men it can get.
In union there is strength
and in cooperation there is pro-
fit.
The farmer can neither help
himself nor be helped by others
until he organizes.
The economic distribution of
farm products is today the
worlds greatest problem.
Our transportation systems
are the dray carts of agricul-
ture and can be made capable
peddlers of farm products.
The middleman is nothing
more than a farm hand but he
is able to fix his own wages and
to collect them and to multiply
his transactions as he pleases.
Bumper crops without market
facilities have sent more farm
ers staggering down the back
alleys of agriculture than all the
pests and droughts that ever
cursed the nation.

A Scene Not In q Play.

An. extraordinary scene took place In
the Princess theater, London. on the
night of the first production Of Charles
Reade's great play, Never Too Late to
Mend" Oct. A. 1865. During the prison
scene a large quantity of water was
thrown over Miss Moore. who took the
part of Josephs. the character doae to
death by the warders. One OF the
critics, Mr.. Tomlin of the Morning Ad-
yertiser. rose from his seat and public
" protested against the unnecessary
cruelty. This aroused almost riot
among the audience. and the action OF
the play was stopped for some consid-
cradle time. Fuel was added to the
fire by George vining. the lessee OF the
theater, who was playing the part OF
Tom Robinson and who made a most
imprudent speech. in which be prac-
tically insulted every critic present.
with the result that the theater was
left severely alone by the press for
MANY months. The play. however.
turned out to be a popular success and
had. for those days. the phenomenal
run of $40 performances.
