ENGLISH SCOUTS PREPARED

The boy scouts of Great Britain
have had a message from Prime Minis
ter Lloyd George. praising their readi-
ness for service when the war broke
out. The premier wrote:
1T Is perhaps only since the begin
ming of the war. during these three
years Of constant drain upon the man
hood OF our nation. that we have come
to realize the great value Of the move
nent which your chief inaugurated
six years before We all now see the
meaning of the motto BE Prepared
which the association has lived up to
with such sincerity and success.
II do not think I am exaggerating
when l say that the young boyhood of
our country, represented by the boy
scouts association, shares the laurels
for having been prepared with the old
and trusted and tried British army and
navy. For both proved their title to
make the claim when the great war
broke upon us like thief in the night.
'It is no small matter to be proud
IF that the boy scouts We're able within
n month of the outbreak of the war to
give the most intelligent and energetic
help in all kinds of service. When the
boyhood- of a nation can give such
practical proofs of its honor. straight
ness and loyalty. there is not much
danger of that nation going under, for
those boys are in training to render
service to their country as leaders in
all walks of life in the future.

movement, old scouts and new scouts,

For the holidays there are some
things that are always the order OF
the day, certain gifts that bloom per
ennially, like the evergreenS and holly
that crown the glory of the passing
year at Christmas time. Among them
aprons of pretty material small
enough to be dainty, that are made
for serving and sewing. The serving
aprons do more than dress up the
morning or afternoon frock in which
the hostess or her aids serve her
guests, for they express n pleasure in
serving. The little sewing aprons are
convenience and n protection. Their
prettiness makes them joy.

these little belongings for home wear

applies to plant life as well as to ami

point of view. Weeds, grasses and
other wild growth, of course, do not ex-
list in any carefully worked scout gar
den. No real good grub scout had to
pull or hack away with a hoe at any
weed, for the highest principle OF

Such a Cute Scheme!

B @ ENATOR LA TOILETTE has bill before
~ congress providing for the taking of post
card plebiscite of the nation before congress can
declare war on any country for any cause. La
Toilette does not intend that the United States
shall ever spring any surprise attack, upon any
foe, evidently II the honorable gentleman were
not senator and at one time strong presidential
possibility, some might believe him to be crazy
His scheme as outlined in his bill and stripped of
its verbiage is: If through any reason the Presi-
dent shall decide to sever diplomatic relation with
any foreign country, thus demonstrating that he
is IN fighting mood and tired OF watchful waiting,
one per cent OF the voters of any twenty States
may demand a plebiscite by petitoning the direc-
tor OF the bureau of the census The petitions shall
be in a form prescribed in the BILL one petition
from each voter, each petition to be accompanied
by the affidavit OF another voter that voter number
one is voter. knows what he is petitioning about
and signed the petition the date set forth there
in. No time limit on the filing of these petitions
is designated
Ten days after the. director of the census shall
have satisfied himself that petitions from one per
cent of the voters of twenty-five States have reach
ed him, the director shall print and send out blank
ballots to all the postmasters of the nation of
number sufficient for every voter to receive one
This will mean some eighteen and half million
ballots, to be printed according to form in the
government printing Office. The postmasters will
stick up notices that the ballots are on hand just
as soon as he gets them and voters will apply at
the wicket for his ballot within five days. After
the voter puts his for or against war, he
drops the ballot through the letter slot
Every day the postmaster gathers the ballots
out of his basket and forwards them to Washing
ton, where, at the end of fifteen days after the
postoffces have begun handing the ballots out,
they are counted and the country will know wheth-
er It is to be bloody war or more peace and pros
perity.
Just what the other country would be doing
while the voters of Browns Corners are sending in
their original petition, waiting for their ballots,
getting them marked and posted and having them
all counted at Washington will have to be seen
after La Toilette gets his bill passed and some
thing happens to cause severance Of diplomatic
relations. We. know what Japan did to Russia
when war was decided upon and what Germany did
to Belgium but those were in the old barbaric
days, before Bryan, Ford and La Toilette decided
70 abolish brute force from the world.
