NOTES OF THE SCOUTS.

Scouts were on hand directly after
an accident when two electric cars
ran together in head-on collision In
St. Clair, Mich, and rendered invalu-
able flrst-aid promptly.
At NorcrOsse, Ga, the troop of boy
scouts has secured the position Of
janitor of the public school at $40 per
month. One patrol does the work for
n month and then another takes 1t.
The teachers report that the work Is
being done better than under any for
mer idui..r.

HOW TO DIVIDE YOUR DAY
Work Eight Hours, Play and Sleep
Same Length of Time-Make La
Dor a Hobby.

Generally speaking. n man sixty
wears old has slept 20 years, played 20
wears and worked 20 years. That is
To say, he has divided each day of
his life as follows: Eight hours for
sleep, eight hours for pleasure and
recreation and eight hours for work,
observes Boston Post.
If he sleeps too much he's Il dope !;
if he plays too much he vegetables and
disoualifies himself for work; If he
works too much he breaks down.
Only third of ones life seems a
small proportion to devote to work. Ii
would seem that man could not ac-
comnIiSh much who devotes two-thirdS
of his life to sleep and recreation, and
some men do not accomplish much !;
but that is because they do not make
the most of their working hours.
The secret of successful accomplish
ment in the days wOrk-the secret Of
success in your life'S wOrk-lies in in
dustrv. While you are working, work
don't dilly daily and gather wool and
run TO the willow when you hear the
fire engine coming. Keep eternally on
you job in the Office from the time
you hang up your hat in the morning
until the clock strikes for quitting
time. Make chip fly every second
concentrate every ounce Of mental or
physical energy on the work at hand
let there be no lost motion, no cerebral
vihration-maintain yourself AT the
highest degree of efficiency.
If you do this for eight hours every
day you'll be heard from ere you are
long on the job-men will marvel at
your achievements-you won't have
much competition. The reason why
one man can do in two hours what an
other man accomplishes with difficulty
in eight is not hard to find if you
watch both workers for few minutes.

SCOUTS "coP" EVERY DRIzE.

A boy scout In Portsmouth, Ohio,
flaps his wings and crows with just
pride as he writes Of the gardening
work Of his troop to Chief Scout Exc
cutive James Z. West In New York as
follows:
"Over two thousand gardens were
planted by individuals who entered the
Portsmouth club, competing for the six
medals offered. Boy scouts had en-
tered over two hundred gardens. A
public recognition service was held on
Government square last Monday eve
ming, at which time the six medals
were awarded. 1t was quite pleasant
surprise when the names Of six boy
scouts were announced. All the scout
gardens were success, and that we
got results Is proved by the fact that
scouts copped all six prizes"
