TO BE FIRE SCOUTS.

Fire Chief Elliot Whitehead of Oak
land, CAL, appreciated the value Of the
scout preparation and believing that
the scouts can be counted on In emer-
gencies, is planning to form a fire.
patrol in each troop. These patrols
will receive recognition at fires and
will be counted on to prevent fires.
Instruction in fire-fghting and preven-
ton and direction for forming the fire.
patrols is given by the chief himself.
Patrol leaders and older scouts are
eligible to join these patrols.
At the end Of the course of instruc-
tion, short civil service examination
will be given and the scouts receiving
the highest credits will be eligible for
election as fire chiefs, assistants and
captains.
The patrol will be taken to visit the
fire houses; the fire-fighting apparatus
will be explained and demonstrated
and fire drills will be conducted.
A distinctive badge or shield will be
worn by the fire scouts. This organiza-
ton will not conflict with the organiza-
ton In the schools, but will serve to
strengthen 1t, as the school fire war
denS will be even more efficient II they
are fire scouts.

SOU S
III
Conducted by National Council Of the
Boy Scouts of America)
ORGANIZATION OF SCOUTS

When boy registers as scout, he
becomes a member Of group called a
patrol. A patrol consists Of eight boys,
one Of whom is patrol leader and an
other assistant patrol leader. Patrols
are formed into troops. Not more than
four patrols are taken into one troop
and three Is considered q better num-
Der as the scoutmaster who leads
troop can get better results with q
small group Of boys than with a large
one.
When a community desires to derive
the benefits Of the scout movement
three or five men form what Is known
as q troop committee and this COM
mittee communicates with the local
council which holds a charter for that
particular district. In cases where
there is no local council the troop COM
mittee applies directly to the national
council. A scoutmaster is then select
ed and he receives a commission from
the national council upon the recon-
mendation Of the troop committee.
Local councils are formed in COM
munities where there are three or
more troops. Such q council is made
up Of ten or more men. These men
are elected as representatives Of the
various interests Of the community in
Guiding religious, educational, business
and civic activities. In many cities
each troop elects at least one member
of Its troop committee as member Of
the local council.
The national council is made up Of
delegates from the various local coun-
ellis, president and ex-presidents Of
the United States, governors of the
various states, and limited number Of
other men distinguished for their
achievements in work for boys.
This in brief is the scout organiza-
ton. It was planned with view Of
insuring proper supervision Of all scout
work and Of keeping the local council
and the national council directly in
touch with both the scout and the
scoutmaster. AS soon as any impor-
tant addition is made to the scout pro-
gram, as soon as some means Is dis
covered of doing things better than
they have been done before, this infor-
nation must Immediately reach every
branch Of the organization. Some Of
the best men in the country are every
day volunteering valuable suggestions
to local councils and to the national
council and it Is very necessary that
these latest details Of scouting should
reach the scout and the scoutmaster
with the least possible delay.

proving the big campaign to assist in
insuring a sufficient food supply for
the United States and her allies.
Mr.. Galloway says: "Let every
Boy Scout do his best. In the language
of the president, let him consider him
self soldier of the commissary."
With the aid of Mr.. H. G. Benson.
detailed by the department of agricul-
ture; Mr.. Hal B. Fullerton of the.
Long Island railroad, known as the
chief grub scout, and the help and en-
couragement of thousands of other
men in the United States, great strides
have been made in the campaign to-
increase the 1917 crop.
In various parts Of the country Boy
Scouts, in addition to taking part In
planting, participated in activities TO
arouse public interest and thought as
to the seriousness of the situation. In
many places monster parades and DEM
onstrations have taken place, the
scouts carrying hoes, rakes and other
garden implements and displaying ap-
propriately worded placards.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, when asked
for an expression of opinion regarding
the drive which the Boy Scouts OF
America are making to increase bean
production, wrote: "My dear Mr.
West: cordially indorse what MI.
Hoover has said about the scouts. we
should eliminate all waste and stimu-
late food production at every point.
think Mr.. Hoover's suggestion that the
scouts should take as their own prov
ince the stimulation of bean produc-
ton is particularly good. Let each
scout start a garden and thereby help
feed the soldiers"
AS an instance of the readiness OF
scouts to respond to such call 1t Is
reported that within forty minutes aft
er orders for their mobilization were
issued, 200 Boy Scouts from Albany
N. Y, and vicinity, many of whom
were called from their dinner tables,
assembled at the city hall and were
formally offered to the city. /
1t is expected that many Of the va1
cant lots throughout the city when
have been offered by patriotic citizens
will be worked by the scouts. The
scouts have already formed summer
agricultural camps to aid in the mar
vests. - - Z -

Lura Branscombe was in the power
of q human wolf and never suspected
1t. She was too artless and innocent to
think i'll of others and whenever a
shadow of doubt crossed her mind it
was speedily dispelled. Her evil ge-
MUS was Isaac Wickham, but she knew
him only as her legal guardian, and
because her father had left him ad-
ministrator of his large estate, while
Wickham rather repealed her with his
elfish, avaricious face, Lura expert
him and was obedient to his direction
as the legally appointed protector Of
her interests.
In the olden days Wickham had been
a fairly honest and capable man. Bank
ruptcy had soured him. Then when
Mr.. Branscombe selected him to act
as guardian for Lura, the whole ma
ture of the man had changed. He now
thought Of but one thing-to make all
he could out of his appointment as ad-
ministrator. He was stern, servile,
exact, indulgent with his fair young
ward, just as 1t occurred to his polite
mind he might best influence certain
ends which he had in view He had
control of large liquid funds aud a
portion Of these he had surreptitiously
used to establish Purdue, distant
relative, named in a loan-shark busi-
mess which Wickham financed and
from which he was receiving an opulent
revenue.
"Pve got to break 1t up!" mutiered
TWickham one morning, as he sat in
the library Of the handsome home of
his client. This Gwynn Bartlett is
certainly favored by Lura. If they
marry, my mission lure practically
ends. I don't know how far they nave
gone in their lovemaking, but I must
block further progress in that direc-
tion."
The sordd old moneymaker sat
gnawing his mustache, his eyes rest
less, rowing, holding a hateful, schem.
