must be done to grade apples in order
to take ADVANTAGE of the act

BOY SCOUTS FLAG
Members of JameSburg Coun-
Gil Attend Meeting of Scout
Troop and Make Merry.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

" o.
Jamesburg, Sept. 3:-The James,
burg Boy Scouts were made happy
Wednesday at their regular meeting
when they were presented with a
handsome flag by Mechanics Home
Council, Junior Order United Amer
lean Mechanics. The banner was a
surprise to them and that the gift
was very acceptable to the local
scouts would be putting it mildly.
A small delegation of Juniors
were present to listen to the cere-
monies and make merry with the
boys who have taken up the objects
OF the club with the greatest enthu-
siasm, John H. Baremore, one of
the towns leading citizens and presi-
dent of the Board of Education,
made the presentation speech and in
behalf of the Juniors, with whom he
has been connected for twenty-five
years, gave the kiddies one of the
most interesting talks that they have
been privileged to listen to and from
the attention accorded the speaker
it was appreciated, too.
His talk, right from the heart,
was also one full of patriotism and
he dwelt on the duties of the boy as
boy. He told them he was boy
himself and at times a very mis-
chievous one. He warned against
the use Of tobacco and intoxicating
drinks and impressed on the youths
before him the importance of having
the Boy Scouts looked upon in the
community as more than some boys
club.
A devotion to the flag that is given
such a prominent part in the great
European struggle now was another
point that the speaker said was con-
sistent with good citizenship.
They will gain in morals If the
objects of the Boy Scouts are lived
up to. A vote of thanks was given
Mr.. Baremore for his remarks by the
boys. Scoutmaster Graham also re-
sponded in behalf of the boys and
thanked the Juniors who so literally
donated the beautiful emblem and
staff. That it will be appreciated is
putting it mildly.
