from Great Britain's, experience in
dealing with labor problems during
the war will be communicated per-

Some PUBLIC addresses may be made
but most information will be dissem-
mated through informal conferences.
Since the British officials arrived in
this country several weeks ago they
have conferred with number of gov
eminent officials.
II cannot commend these gentlemen
too highly to you," wrote Secretary
Baker, in a letter which the British
mission will carry. They are not
only distinguished personally, but they
are all experts in their field. The in
formation in their possession is ex-

ANY OLD cANEs7

The American Girls Aid society,
which has devoted itself to the cOllec-
ton of clothing and other materials
for French victims of the European
war, asks that the Scouts endeavor to
collect canes to be used by the manned
and crippled soldiers. There is a big
demand for canes just at the present
time, and there are undoubtedly thou
sands Of canes in the United States
which are not in use. If the Scouts
would collect these and forward them
to the headquarters Of the American
Girls Aid, 293 Fifth avenue. New
York city, they will be appreciated.
It Is suggested also that the Scouts
make canes. On their hikes into the
woods and country places they often
come across materials for canes end
can develop artistic ability In making
up this material in serviceable form.

There are no bad boys. We MAKE
this statement confidently, knowing
that 1t will be Endorsed by educators
and all those who have spent thei,
lives In working on the boy problem
We will defend 1t In spite Of all the
broken windows, stolen oranges and
canned dogs In Christendom.
There are weak boys. boys who lack
fesOurcefulness, boys whose ideas Of
right and wrong are distorted, but
there never was a boy who did not
naturally-consciously or unconscious
N-dO the things which he believed
to be right.
The trouble comes when parents,
teachers and the others who are re-
sponsible for the youngsters develop
ment fail to fill his time with useful
activity. The forces Of nature must
operate. we cannot stop them while
we take our afternoon nap. The wind
must blow, the water must flow, and
the boys brain and muscles must
work. We put windmill In the path

wise dissipate in washing out Its
banks and roofing out the trees. These
things we know, yet we too often per-

able asset, to run riot. We even At
tempt to dam 1t and then complain be-

Some stock owners still cling to the
belief that ticks cannot all be eradi-
Gated because the small animals. such
as rabbits, ETC.. which harbor ticks,
cannot be treated to destroy the para

eradication cannot prove successful.
Such reasoning would be entirely
logical providing all ticks found ON all
animals were the same kind of ticks.
