Not at ALL" He was speaking
rapidly, now, and his eyes were
flashing. ut is piggishness. and
1t is life. OF what use or sense
is an immortality of piggishness?
What is the end? What is it all
about? You have made no food.
Yet the food you have eaten or
wasted might have saved the
lives of a score of wretches who
made the food but did not eat it..
What immortal end did you serve?
Or did they? Consider yourself
and me. What does your boosted
Immortality amount to when your
life runs foul of mine? You
would like to go back to the land,

your kind OF piggishness. II Is a

does not seem to be just the thing
for immortals to be doing. Again.

Because you are stronger,

But why stronger" he went
on at once with his perpetual
queries. Because l am a bigger
bit of the ferment than you?
Don't you see? Don't you seer"
But the hopelessness of it,"
protested.
II agree with you," he an
swered. Then why move at all,
since moving is living? Without
moving and being part Of the
yeast there would be no hopeless
ness. But,-and there it is,-we
want to live and move, though we
have no reason to, because It
happens that it is the nature of
life to live and move, to want to
live and move. IL 1t we're not for
this, life would be dead. 1t is be-
cause of this life that Is in you
that you dream of your immortal

alive and wants to go on being
alive forever. Bah! An eternity
of piggishness!

CIGNALLlNG is one OF the most in
y teresting of the Boy Scout out
door sports, and the photograph
above shows a group Of first class
scouts in the midst Of a signalling
game.
Two codes Of signalling are used, the
Morse International, where only one
flag is used, and the Semaphore, where
two are needed.
A second class Scout has to be able
TO signal sixteen letters minute TO be
admitted TO first rank, and many first
class scouts have been known to mas
ter their signalling so that they could
spell with their flags at the rate of one
hundred and thirty-dye letters in a
second.
The thing becomes a great sport, too
and develops the eyes, so that BOY
gets what sailhrs have, vision that can
distinguish little things at great dis
tances. It's good, too, for the memory
and gives a boy a feeling that is very

Something wonderful once happened
and has since been put into a moving
picture that the Scout masters often
have reeled Off for young Scouts. A
couple Of Boy Scouts happened to pass
by on the shore and saw three boys
drowning whose boat had capsized IN
the lake 1t wasn't possible for them
70 rush to the rescue, but they sig
nailed to some other Scouts out on a
point near the accident, and the second

the plight Of their chums in the water,
were able to reach the drowning boys
in time.
Signalling is ope of ffty-eight fields
IN which a first class Boy Scout can
work to gain his merit medals Any
boy can find out lot more about the
fun and training of scouting by writ
ing to the Boy Scouts Of America. which
has an office at 200 Fifth Avenue. There
they can tell on just what days some
of the scout organizations are going to
have signal tests out in the open

Such policy must result in very serious losses to all the growers in the communities where the poorer types become common.
 As the seed is the primary factor in determining length of staple and there are early maturing prolific varieties with staple of at least an inch in length, every cotton farmer should secure and plant such seed.

How One Man Got Something for
 Nothing.

In the current issue of Farm and Preside the national farm paper pub lished at Springfield, Ohio, D. S. Burch writing an interesting and useful ar ticle entitled, Fences That Laugh at Farmer Time" tells what materials will last he longest and cost the least. He makes the point that fence posts that have been treated with some form of preservatiVe are of especial value and then he tells the following story of how a Texas farmer got his posts:
 Getting creosoted posts free of charge IS not very common, but this is the way homeseeker in Texas man aged 1t. He noticed that discarded railroad ties were burned to get them out of the way, so he had his friend, the section boss, save them for him. In two years time he had fenced his GAO acres, including several cross-fenc- eS using the old railroad ties for posts lie cut away the rot. but nearly al ways got a strong post, for the ties mad been crcsotod. Some ties that seemed soft and weak from soaking in mud dried quickly and made perfectly good posts"

All the Effectiveness, Not
 the Effect of CalOmel

Liv-Ner-LaX is one of the most important medical discover ieS of recent years. For long time medical experts, realizing the harmful effects of calomel, have been striving to find a liv- CT cleanser that would be just as effective as calomel, and yet be absolutely harmless in it's action. Recently this remedy was ac- tually put forth by L. K. Grigsby in his Liv-Ver-Lax.
 Liv-Ner-LaX is harmless veg etable compound, designed sole ly for the treatment of liver com plaints. The immediate favor it has met with in thousands of homes is proof positive of it's real value.
 If you feel worn out, tongue coated, and skin sallow, don't de- lay until it becomes dangerous, nip the trouble in the bud with Liv-Ver-LaX. Insist on the gen. uine, bearing the signature and likeness of L. K. Grigsby, which is guaranteed to give satisfac- 'tion or money refunded. For sale by Hesterly Drug Store.

CABINET MAY NOT BE IN ACCORD
49,, WITH GERMAN NOTE

Washington, June 8. - Though
President Wilson made it known to-
day that he was satisfied the cabinet
members would all be in accord on
the next note to Germany, indications
multiplied as the chief executives
meeting with his advisors progressed
that this would not be the case.
Secretary Bryan began by holding
up the cabinets discussion of the
note for an hour while he worked in
his private Office at the state de-
partment. When he finally arrived
he had with him a document which
it was reported was brief dealing
with the situation in detail, drafted
in view of a fight it was believed he
was determined to make to force
modification of the presidents COM
munication to Berlin.
