Boy Scouts are supposed to earn their
own uniforms and money for other ex-
.penses, and also to deposit at least one
dollar in the savings bank, before they
can become second class scouts.
Many of the boys desire employment.
Any one who can use one or more of
the boys after school hours or Satur-
days will confer favor upon them by
notifying the treasurer, Chris Hendra,
by mail or phone Farmers who want
boys Co work for the simmer months
can be supplied, if their applications
come in early. Our boys are all over
twelve years old,

instead of twenty-four, as we have held
it up TO the present. Boys above II
years of age may make application to
any scout. or to the undersigned.

Overland Performs Great Feat.

What is declared to be the most
strenuous hill.eimbing Feat ever per-
formed by motor car IN Che south
west is trip made by an Overland
model 81 touring car 70 the ''Hole-in-
the Rock" near Phoenix. Arizona.
In lieu of a road up The steep cliff.
the car was forced % push it's way up
an incline Of 30 per cent over loose
gravel trail. There were two bad
turns with the path on The bare face
Of the cliff. This necessitated slowing
down tc a speed little faster than a
walk, eliminating any advantage which
might have been gained from flying
start Consequently the car was
forced to make the climb entirely on
its own pulling power
! The ''Hole-in.the- Rock has always
been said to he Inaccessible for vehi-
Giles. So far RS is known, the Over
land is the only motor car which ever
successfully negotiated the climb.
A remarkable feature of the test is
that the car was equipped with smooth
tread tires and no chains were used.
T. O. Vivian is local agent for the
Overland and if there is anything more
you would like to know about the car
ask him.

INACCURACY IS DISHONESTY

1t is not safe to trust people who hbitualy mac
curate in their work. Even with the best of intentions
in the world they become dishonest. Before they
aware of it, the habit of inaccuracy extends to their
statements They do not take pains to be thorough in
anything they undertake. even in clearly expressions Of
truth.
These people never carry much weight in COM
munty, however honest in principle they may be- because
reliance can be placed on their words work You
cannot depend upon what they tell you If they are
orators they dscredited if they at the bar the
judges always take their statements with grain of SALT
if in the pulpit they do not win the respect Of the congre
CATION In fact whatever those people do they placed
at disadvantage because of their habit of naccuracy
There is great difference between going just right
and little wrong These victims of inaccuracy did not
start right They failed to realize that what is put into
the first of life is put into the whole of life
pebble in tiny stream will turn the course of a
river the seemingly unimportan habit of inaccuracy
has kept many from success by changing the cur
rent of his life.
Accuracy doing things to finish is one Of the most
important lessons that can be taught child, because
there is moral quality at stake The whole character
is often undermined by the unfortunate habit of mac
curacy
Men whose ability would have made them peers in
their communities become nonentites and their
mediocre or total failures simply because they were
allowed in childhood to form the habit of half-doing
things, and of making half exaggerated statements.

This year it has been demonstrated that the Oregon
prune crop be marketed proftably in the alb
sence of foreign demand While the price received was
not high it left fair margin Of profit to the grower
whose yield good The light crop in the Willamette
valley was offset by large California crop and it is
possible that conditions may be reversed next year, since
two heavy crops seldom follow in succession and it will
be CALIFORNIA; turn to face the shortage next year. The
price of prunes is higher than when most of the
growers sold indicating that the demand not fully
supplied This should mean complete cleanup and an
unusually good price next year.
