Fire building and water boiling

Fire building and water boiling
 After the meet the troops will build fires and cook their supper in real scout fashion. Each boy is to bring hls own food. When supper has been finished the scouts will gather about the large camp fire to listen to re- marks by the local officers, Scout Ex- ecutive Ripley of Hartford and others who are to be there to inject "pep'' into the scouts for a humming season. When the fire begins to glow the clos ing and crowning feature of the even- ing will be a freside story hour pre- sided over by story teller of note and ability in telling camp fire stories.
 It is believed that the meet will serve a number of purposes. It will let the public know what the boys are doin, it will arouse the enthusiasm of the scouts for the work of the win ter, and it will provide the local troops a good preparation for the state meet at Meriden. From all indications the meet will be unusually successful and all the troops of the city are eagerly awaiting the day.

beet industry is at a standstill. except
the branch of it devoted to the sale of
manufactured stock on hand. Early in
the spring the planting begins. 1t takes
1000 acres of beetS to supply the raw
product for a 50O-ton mill. AS many of
the mills can slice 1000 tons of beets in
tWenty-four hours. it requires 10000
acres to keep them up to capacity,
which means field fifteen miles long
and fifteen miles wide.
This year. 10000 farmers planted
700, ,0O0 acres in beets. The average
yield ordinarily is ten tons to the acre.
Some farmers, however. get twenty
tons. Germany averages nearly fifteen

Growers have choice of two contracts
with the factory owners. They can sell
their crop at a fixed price, even before
plowing is done in the spring. or they
can wait until harvest time and take
the going price at that time.

tween the worst coffee to be had in
Europe. with the possible exception OF
some places in Germany, or tea.
The midday meal. whether II is called
a lunch or not, has the hot joint with

whether it be made somewhat less

meats and cheese, bread and butter and
a few other things.
Surveying this average diet of the
average Englishman. it may he seen
why il can be curtailed to a war basis
without detriment to the physica well

is the statement that the average Eng
lishman is taking the curtailment
good -humoredly instead OF exercising
his constitutional right of grumblins
at the government.
This is the lighter phase Of the sub
iect. But to a government and a people
engaged in a terrific struggle at arms
there can be nothing but seriousness in
the possibility of enemy submarines in
terfering with the food supply for any
length of time. Beef, mutton, wheat
and bacon are what the great mass of
the British population requires. and the
British isles do not produce enough Of
any of the staple food products to sup
ply more than fraction OF the do
mestic demand in normal times.

statistics. ii happens, too. that the

The nationalizing of the merchant
