GIGANTIC TASK A SUCCESS

An amazing series of quick moves
formed the parts played by the presi-
dent, the treasury department and the
government printing Office in sending
the 100000 Boy Scouts and their Off
Gals into 100000 homes in America
on their recent successful Liberty loan
campaign.
This was President Wilson's call to
his young aids:
ut will be most gratifying to me as
honorary president Of the Boy Scouts
Of America to have the Boy Scouts,
their scoutmasters and leaders
throughout the United States lend
their aid to the secretary of the treas
ury in distributing applications and
securing popular subscriptions to the
Liberty loan. This will give every
scout a wonderful opportunity to do
his share for his country under the
slogan, Every Scout to Save Soldier
II feel sure this request will find
unanimous and enthusiastic response
from Boy Scouts everywhere"
And this was the immediate response
of Mr.. Colin H. Livingstone, president
of the national council, Boy Scouts of
America:
1T was with great pleasure that /
received your letter requesting the
Boy Scouts of America to aid the
treasury department in disposing Of
the Liberty loan bonds.
"YOur request was at once submit
ted to the executive board Of the Boy
Scouts Of America, then in session at
headquarters in New York city. Your
letter and its request received unani-
nous and enthusiastic Endorsement,
and all the machinery of the organiza-
ton throughout the country was at
once dedicated to an intensive cam
paign for the sale of the Liberty bond.
BE assured that the executive Off
GERS, scOutmasters, patrol leaders and
individual members of the Boy Scouts
OF America throughout the country will
respond promptly and Loyalty to your
CALL"
Mr.. r. w. WOolley, the director Of
publicity Of the Liberty loan for the
treasury department, sent this Letter:
II have such excellent reports of the
splendid cooperation of the scout off,
Gals in the field with the Liberty loan
committees Of the twelve reserve dis
tricts that feel must write you how
greatly their work is appreciated here.
Placing the Liberty loan Is such ire
mendous job that the best effort each
scout can make will be necessary. 1t
Is pleasure to know that the Boy
Scouts are setting such splendid ex-
ample in practical patriotism"
The national council Of the Boy
Scouts of America acted quickly. A
study of existing literature on the
Liberty bond was made by the head
quarters staff and copy prepared for
circular. This was taken by the chief
scout executive, Mr.. James e. West,
to Washington, where he conferred
with the treasury department officials.
The matter was taken up with the
public printer, and before night ar
rangements were completed for the
PRINTING of 100000 copies Of this

Optimism.

Optimism is friends with the world,
putting white arms Of affection about
the earth and men. It's good will, en-
circling the world, returns to it gain.
Optimism knows that the very needs
of love are fairer In blossom than the
brightest orchids Of hate.
Optimism Is the gospel Of light, and
If that light shines for you, you will
find your life's dream tiding through
happy fields beneath rainbow arching
skies until It's low sweet murmur is
swallowed in mighty river Of song.
Optimism ends the world-old strug-
gle for happiness by being happy.-Ex-
change.

day.
While the government printing office
was turning out the Boy Scout Liberty

The suffragist riot at Washington
was arranged for spectacular effect
with view to advertising the de-
mand for votes for women. Such
things do attract attention, but even
the suffragists are not unanimous in
the opinion that their cause is adj
vanced by activities on the part of
its advocates which call forth ad-
verse comment There are no severer
critics Of the militant suffragists than
suffragists who are not militants. The
latter accuse the former of impeding
the progress of the cause Milwaukee

by the heavy rains has washed things
pretty clean and the crop can now be
marketed at less expense than was an
