pie with DR.. Wiles in the pulpit. The
song service was led by fifty members

When the Boy Scouts of America of the present
generation who have had the good fortune to start
the movement in this hemisphere pass from the
obedience of boyhood to the mastery of manhood
they will undoubtedly remember the Scout dsci
pline so lastingly impressed upon them and will
follow the rules of the forest that were taught them
in their youth Meanwhile, the men at this season
roaming through the woods who do not know the
benefit of Boy Scout training whose only guidance
in boyhood was their own less disciplined common
sense, should post themselves on the rules of the
Scouts and follow the examples set by the boys in
the matter of the prevention of forest fires
Flames in the woods can be started either by
accident by design. For persons who purposey
start fire in forest sentence is prescribed and
even though it may go to the full extent of the
law,-$o00 fine and years imprisonment-it is
hardly too severe for the offense Persons who
start conflagrations unintentionally, as through
eareessness with campfres are certainly blamable
for their inexcusable negligence.
Sparks from locomotives cannot be disregarded
as sources of much damage in forests at this time
of the year. Nothing other than principles like

Buffers Trout Plan Works Well

When State Fish Commissioner Bull.
Ter began the placing of trout, from
three to six inches long, in the streams
instead of fingerlings and fry that had
always been used to stock the water
courses he was laughed at by the older
pisciculturists, who were quite sure that
the experiment would be a failure.
commissioner Butler, however, held to
the theory that in placing trout fry in
the streams he would only be furnishing
food for the larger and more voracious
hsh which gobble the fry as sweet
morsel He decided that in placing
hsh from three to six inches long in the
streams the bigger fish could not get
them so easily, as trout of that size
is as quick as a flash and can get away
from the larger fish. His theory has
worked out well. Letters have been re-
celved from old fishermen in various
parts of the State telling of the abun.
