RESOLUTIONS ON
 JONES G. MOORE

The late Jones G. Moore, in addition to his other activities was an esteemed and honored member of the board of directors of the American Trust and Saw ings bank At the last meeting of the board, the following resolutions upon his death were unanimously adopted:
 'In the loss of MT. James c. Moore this board has parted with one of it's most useful members We shall greatly miss him in these meetings.
 Those who knew him long most ap- preciated his real worth, his devotion to what he considered to be his duty to the community and the state and his personal and business obligations. The members of this board were in close touch with him; not one of them will fail to remem- Der him as dependable and valued friend and comrade, and they are mindful of his great loss to each of them and to the hank of which he was an honored di- rector
 AS a friend. there were few like him. Any person who had right to call him, could call him to any extent. Through troubles of all kinds, he was willing to go with them and stand by them and suffer with them. He might have chosen his friends eXcluS1Vely from among those of substantial and high standing, but he did not. None were too humble for him; none too poor or of such moderate sta ton as to prevent him from advising with them and touching them Wherevr their interests lay, and they will miss him as they would have missed perhaps, no other person in this district. Prob ably more tears were shed over his sud- den death than would have been shed over the death of any other citizen in this district This is epitaph enough. We shall all miss the winning smile, the cheery word and the loving presence of the golden hearted gentleman.
 ITO his widow and children, so be- reaved this board extends it's utmost sympathy. To them he was the tender husband and the loving father, the stall wart provider and the restful shelter in life's storms. This board hopes that the all-wise God may be mindful of those loved by him, from whom he was so un- timely taken.

BOY
SCOUTS

Boy Scouts Of Americs)
SCOUT PRINCIPLES

First Of all, q boy who becomes a
member Of the Boy Scouts Of America
must take an oath. That's O perfectly
natural thing. The Knights of the
Round Table swore an oath and so did
the pirates that sailed the Spanish
Aainl So the Boy Scout pledges him
self:
I. To do my duty to God and my
country and obey the Scout Law.
2. To help other people at all times.
8. To keep myself physically
strong. mentally awake and morally
straight.
The Scout Law referred to In the
oath covers twelve points: A Scout
Is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful. Friend
IL, Courteous, Kind. Obedient, Cheer
full Thrifty, Brave. Clean and Rever'
emit.
There are virtues that appeal to the
spirit Of chivalry that lives in the
heart Of every boy, and when enhanced
by the sacredness Of a solemn boyish
oath they have a gripping appeal that
works wonders In the growing char
acter. With these virtues firmly plant
ed In Q boys mind and habit OF MS
daily life during his formative years,
there is little danger Of his forsaking
them entirely In later life.
These virtues are made vital Dy

boy an opportunity to put them into
actual practice. He Is given commits

his honor as q scout" to carry them In

others is emphasized by encouraging
scouts to do "a good turn" to somebody
every day. This good turn" idea Is
taken very seriously. 1t has inspired
thousands of boys to the point where
they volunteer to wash dishes and tend
babies, And there can be no severer
test than thati The idea Of thrift Is
driven home by requiring q scout TO
earn and deposit money In bank be-

do. But no activity Is included In the
Boy Scout program without good
reason; each must serve Its purpose
in contributing something to the char
actsr development Of the boy. Scout
activities and the scout oath and law
are 30 closely interviewer that 1t is
impossible to separate them.

slon 70 Best Remedy.

The voolly aphis is worse in some
parts Of the country than In others. 1t
attacks both the branches and the
roots. and either dwarfs or destroys
the tree. Young trees In nursery or
orchard are particularly susceptible to
injury. Kerosene emulsion Is the best
remedy 20 far offered.
Take one-half pound Of laundry
soap. two gallons Of kerosene and one
gallon Of water. Dissolve the soap
In the full amount Of water, and when
this solution is boiling hot, remove
from the nre and add the kerosene.
Stir the mixture violently by driving
It through a force pump back into the
vessel until 1t becomes q creamy mass
that win not separate. This requires
from five to ten minutes.
This stock solution is diluted with
nine parts Of water for spraying.
When the aphis attacks the roots, the
earth should be scraped away to
depth Of several inches around the
tree. and kerosene emulsion used lib
orally diluted with II parts Of water.
Another excellent remedy for the root
form Is tobacco. Spread the stems
thick over the roots and cover with
earth.
