THE
BOY SCOUTS
The Tenderfoot Scout.
of America

Aside from the requirements emu
merated in the preceding articles,
the boy who wishes to become a
second-class scout must be able to
do the following:
Go a mile in twelve minutes at
scouts pace, fifty steps walking
and fifty running, alternately.
Use properly a knife or hatchet.
Prove ability to build fire in
the open with the use OF not more
than two matches.
Cook quarter of a pound of meat
and two potatoes in the open with
out the ordinary cooking utensils.
Earn and deposit in a public bank
at least one dollar.
Know the sixteen principal points
of the compass.
Learning these things takes time
and considerable study on the part
of the boy. 1t affords many oppor.
tunities for taking hikes into the
woods, and usually the boy studying
these lessons is given the opportun.
ity of taking two or three overnight
hikes. On these occasions tents and
bedding are taken and if possible the
stop is prolonged for three days. The
scout master or assistant scout mas =
ter always accompanies these ex-
petitions, and strict discipline pre-
walls. A set of camp rules is adopted
and every boy, because he is on his
honor to do his duty as a scout, feels
that he is honor bound to obey these

INDIAN LOVES WHITE
MAN, SAYS PROPHET

Gushing, Okla, April Ia. p.
jefferson, full blood Sax and Fox
Indian, for many years prophet and
soothsayer among his people, said
today that never before in the his
tory of his tribe had there been
such a universal feeling of friend
ship between the white residents
and Indians. He said for many years
he had been trying to cultivate this
feeling among his people and he has
lived to see the day when the ways
OF the white man are popular among
the Indians.
MY people are not educated in
the sense that white persons are"
said the old prophet, 'ibut we dearly
love our white neighbors. Our ways
are different from the ways of the
white race but this is accounted
for because Of different envirGrnauts
"Our people want it distinctly un-
derstood that we court the friend
ships and good wishes of our white
neighbors, and above all things we
desire a closer relationship in all
matters pertaining to a higher and
better citizenship. Our young men,
some of them, have taken to drink,
but we are trying hard to teach them
the error of their ways. We want
white people to help us lead better
lives.
'Will our crops be good this year?
Yes, they will be the best ever grown
in this section of the country. The
fruit and berry crop is practically as
snred, and the outlook for all farm
products could not be more promis.
ing. The Lord has provided for a
big crop in America this year that
we may furnish warning nations with
food concluded the old Indian.

Why Does a Boy Scout Carry a Staff?

Why Does a Boy Scout Garry Staff /?
This is a question that has often
been asked, both by boys entering
the organization and by the friends
of the movement.
Since scouts carry no weapons the
hands are free and a staff may be
carried with little inconvenience; in
fact, it comes to be such a neces-
sity that, after scout has become
acquainted with its usefulness he
would as soon think of starting on
hike without shoes as to leave the
staff behind
The regulation scout staff is six
feet, six and one half inches in length
and about one and one-half inches
| in diameter Bamboo or ash are
preferable, because of lightness and
wood of good strength will do. AS
usual thing, at least three feet of

one foot being divided into inches,
and sometimes one of the one inch
divisions may be quartered. Many
scouts have the staff marked in feet
and inches on one side and cent?
metres and metres on the other, al
| though this is not necessary because
a little rapid calculation will en-
| able the scout to determine the dis
tance by either one of the two sys-
| tens of measurement. The staff
| should have blunt ends, with round

respond to a call for help from some
one in distress, and sometimes are
| compelled to resort to force in driv-
| ing away marauders or assaulters
| As a weapon of defense at close
range strong staff is without equal
as it is effective but not dangerous
and results in no permanent injury.
In wading streams, climbing noun
tains, and scaling high gates and
walls the scout has been saved many

Travelling over marshy ground each
scout uses his staff to test the foot

each scout holds one end of the
staff held by the scout preceding
him, thus keeping the entire line in
touch with the leader and insuring
safety in case of a difficult path.
AS stretcher in case someone is
injured, two scout STATS and two
jackets may always be depended
upon. although the third jacket max

MAIL ORDER HOUSES.

An exchange notes that the Sears,
Roebuck mail order house in Chicago
cut big melon This week, when it de-
clared $50, 1000 600 dividend to the
stockholders of 4O,OOO 600 worth of
common stock. 1t is stated that the
head of the concern will get over ST.
600, 600 of this dividend, and that its
real value will be over 10000. 600, as
it is in the form of extra stock. This
dividend is worthy of note because
it is made possible by people who send
their money to mail order houses in
stead of patronizing their local mer-
chants. The point is that none of the
money that goes to a mail order house
ever comes back into town to help pay
taxes or circulate among the folks who
send it away

WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE.

Both to our surprise and dsappoint-
ment the Legislature have refused limit
ed suffrage to the women and the respOn-
sibIity for the defeat of the measure
belongs upon the 1919 members of the
House who voted against it. The bill
came from the Senate, where it had
met with little objection, and was sup
posedly good bill. But the House be-
gan to tinker with it and load it down
with amendments, urging its defeat
on the ground that the women of the
State did not want suffrage. When
barely 80 per cent of the citizens of
/ Vermont exercise their right of suf-
frage their opposition to woman's suf-
| frage because the women do not want
to vote comes with poor grace. The
proposed bill did not make voting COM
pulsory, but offered women all the po-
litcal rights the present constitution
allowed. The victory is now post
poned for two years when a new Leg
/ islature will have the question to de-
eide As Golfers Weekly said in a
recent number, within 10 years every

suffrage, and we do NOT believe th.

VERMONT AND OLD AGE.


Senator Page of Vermont was dill
ating on the merits of that remarkable
State at meeting of the Vermont
State association at Washington the
other evening and he pointed with
pride to the fact that people live longer
in the Green Mountain State than in
any other. AS proof he pointed out
that: 1.-The oldest United States ex-sen-
ator now living in the United States
is former Senator Edmunds of Yer
mont, who at the age of 80, is prac-
ticing law in New York city. The
Oldest former governor now living is
former Governor Stewart of Vermont,
who is passing quiet years IN his home
State. The Oldest Methodist minister
in the United States lived most of his
life in Vermont and recently died there
at the age of lO5 years. Some IN
kind Photographer will remark, if we
don t, that hundred years in Vermont
is only as good as fifty years in Mas.a-
chusetts.

RURAL SCHOOLS.

among the several civic institutions
of which Vermont citizens may he
proud, the rural school should stand
supreme. The products Of we'll regu-
lated and efficient schools must always
be the best asset fany community.
Good citizenship is at once fundamen-
tai to prosperity and social welfare
There is no better barometer to guage
the moral and intellectual tendency of a
rural people thantheir schools Ibelieve,
in general, that we now have efficient
schools with a superior disciplinary force
and wise ard harmonious supervision Of
the whole work, together with the
broader adaptation Of the course Of in
struction to the individual needs of the
pupils.
True the boys can not be taught
carpentoriug in technical sen. g,
yet there are many useful little
things to DO in the school room, things
which require hammer. nails, and some
working material Many pieces Of work
of ,his kind are well done by my boys.

proof work which we have in our diff

the efficiency of the instruction. The
good discipline in the rural schools and

able
our rural schools are busy places, fol

could have been of some real use. " Just
then as the clouds settled over her
mind, she saw beautiful oxalis wood
sorreD growing at the foot of great
pine tree. She stopped and gazed at
the flower, which Ruskin calls the Eek
qusite mountaineer" and as she be-
came impressed with its beauty, her
gloomy thoughts vanished and her one
feeling was of the beauty of the little
lonesome flower. For there came into
her mind the thought, why here is this
lovely flower poisoning in the woods
with no one to see it and enjoy its
beauty but me, and there must be
myriads of others in these woods that
no one will ever see Poor little things,
| wonder how they would feel if they
knew about the roses and violets in the
gardens. And somehow or other the
thought of that oXalis, which it seemed
to her was the lovelest she ever saw
and the most beautiful flower she knew,
haunted her all the rest of the day and
was in her mind when she went to
sleep.
That night she had dream. She was
in the woods and was bending down over
the oxalis and drinking in its beauty.
Unconsciously she spoke: dearest
flower, how sorry l am that you have
to bloom in these woods where no one
can see you and enjoy your beauty. "
And to her amazement the oXalis spoke
and said: Don't be sorry for me, for
don you know that there is One in the
heaven above who watches me with
loving eyes and | am so glad that can
be beautiful for His sake When | know
that He sees me and loves me, it makes
but little difference to me that no one
else does o." And it flashed through
Mary's mind, why isn't this the way
/ should feel? If | am trying hard to
do my duty, why my Father in heaven
must be glad, for | am sure that He
must see me and watch me as He does
this dear oxalis. And | ought not to
wish things to be different as long as
He has chosen to have me live this
way" When she woke up her dream
came to her and her gloomy thoughts
fled and she went about her work full
of gladness, for she had learned from
the oXals that there were all kinds of
lives as there were of flowers, and that
hers was just like the oXalis and she
would be as happy as the flower was
that One was watching her with low
ing look.
Something's come over Mary, !"
said her mother a few days after this to
her husband. "She's so bright and she
sings great deal when she's at her
work and ! just love to hear her. She 5
very different from what she has been
lately. never saw smile on her tace
and once in while ! caught tears in
her eyes. But now she's all smiles and
it's made such difference with the
children. They just adore her and the
first thing they ask, when they come
home from school, is, Where Mary 3"
