SCOUTS START
DEF ON ANNUAL
CAMPING TRIP
Boys Make Fine Appearance
When They March Through
Streets Toward PaIi

Hawaii's Boy SCOTS are camping
ideal to be 'Phtst tally strong, mental
ly alert and mi ally straight"
Scout Alex Perkins drum sounded
happy rat-tat-tat down Merchant
street, up Fort and out Nuuanu this
morning at the head Of an orderly and
youthful army, the Boy Scouts of Ha-
wall, on their way to Kailua for their
sixth annual encampment. They are
in charge of Scout Commissioner
Harry Hayward and return Saturday.
The rhythmic tramp-tramp of about
$50 uniformed members, marching
with manly sturdiness, echoed through
the holiday stiffness Of HonOlulu's
thoroughfares; aceouterments tangled
merrily and variant hues of gaily col
ored banners swapping in a refreshing
breeze bespoke the joyousness and
cheer OF the bearers.
Less than half dozen of the march
ers were not in uniform; the remain
der carried everything that goes to
make up scouts equipment. Scout
axes, staves, canteens and hayersacks
there were and extras in profusion,
such as kodaks, searchlights, field
glasses and so on. -.
Lunch Near Pail
Just the other side of the Pail the
boys expected to stop for rest and to
eat lunches which they carried. About
o'clock they expect to be in camp

Rudolph Duncan went as the commits

Early for Assembly
Ordered to report at the capitol
grounds at 8 o'clock for marching
formation, some boys were there be-
fore and during the next hour they
streamed in from all directions
through every gate. True to their
number and standing in line, Troop
members were the first to arrive.
Shortly after the bugle called
assembly" and the boys took their
places in order of their troop num-
bers in a line facing the archives
building. After massing in front of
the same building while many kodaks
snapped, the bugle blew advance.
The drums ratified and the big march
Of the year was on. ,........
Many anxious mothers, proud faith
ers and disappointed scoutmasters
whose work in the city kept them
from accompanying the boys gathered
early at the capitol to watch the
maneuvers. Several followed the line
for some distance in cars.
When the long hike started some
few bicycle scouts fell out of their
regular position and took places in
the rear. !: ill.,.

Cooperation in
Denmark

The little kingdom Of Denmark,
in northern Europe, is only one
fourth as large as the state of
Wisconsin, but it has a population
Of 2,I50,oo0 of people, The aver
age density is close to 200 per-
sons to the square mile, while
Wisconsin, has less than 50. About
half of the population of Den
mark live in the rural communi-
ties and are farmers by occnpa-
tion. Nearly 90 per cent of those
farmers are in one or more ways
connected with the cooperative
movement which they themselves
have created and are pushing for
ward with great success.
In 1866 a minister of the state
church, Rev. I'll. G. Sonne, induced
a number of the poor people of his
parish to organize a workingmen i
association with the object of CO.
operatively buying the necessities
Of life. BY doing this. those poor
people saved some money, and
were able to make life more com
Portable for their families, After
being economically better situ-
ated, they evidently became more
interested in better moral and
higher spiritual life. The mu-
tual helping of one another de-
veloped the feeling of brother
hood, and Rev. Some noticed
with great satisfaction. the results
of the cooperation.
The movement soon was spread
