With a view to further preparing To-
any possible emergency, il is suggested II
this highly interesting pamphlet tina
thru DULY CONSTITUTED AUTHoRI
TIES plans be made TO mobilize the scout:
at moments notice.
We are further told that the Boy Scout
movement viii prove adequate for any
emergency, that everywhere our boys viii
do their duty to God and their country
and obey the scout law"
Some skeptics may be doubtful of a
God who would desire to sacrifice tender,
impressionable youth 10 any such pur-
pose.
Some skeptics will even murmur that
the persons interested in this movement
smack greatly of one t. r. and take the
name of their Lord in vain.
We would have little fear or spprehen-
sion for our boys were il not that great
number of their parents and guardians
have been inoculated with the virus, mill
tarism. and might easily become like unto
those misguided individuals who this
week sent their little boys away from
their homes in Canada into the British
navy
But, we are not to be Outdone by the
Canadians
We are to have too, Junior Naval &
Marine Scout, the Boy Scout movement
not meeting the requirements of the sea.
One of the Marine Scouts purposes is
to promote, teach and inculate in the
youth thruout the United States a spirit
of loyalty and OBEDIENCE to his par
ents and to his SUPERI0RS@
Let US hope that his parents will prove
worthy of loyalty and obedience by keep
ing him safely at school and at home, and
this his obedience to "SUPERIORS" in
the way of navy officers will not be neces-
sary.
The conservation department of the
United States would better temporarily
turn its attention away from inanimate TO
animate matter as embodied in our youth.

They Have An Eye on the
Boy Scouts This Important
Advice Has Reached Us,

There were certain old fashioned peo-
pie, some years ago. who saw in the Boy
Scout movement tendency toward mill
taxism.
They were mainly Quakers and peace
loving citizens whose one idea was to di-
vorce all thought of civilization and prog
ress from the barbarous institution Of
war.
These peaceful souls, who were some
Of the most useful assets of the country,
who titled the soil, made the homes and
conserved the resources of life, were
hooted at as conjuring up wild dreams in
peace loving, sane and stable nation.
They realized, what others did not, that
The most prolific seeds for good and evil
were those implanted in the mind of
youth. and in order to continue to be the
pcace-loving people that we were, this
ideal must be most carefully nourished
and shielded from military suggestion.
They saw in the organization of these
lads much that was good, but they felt
that this same training, intended for
psaceful ends, could be easily swung to a
unilitaristic basis if occasion required and
ne belligerent element, latent in every
country, predominant.
We are on the eve of seeing their fears
become incarnate.
A paper marked important" has been
received in this Office. and it tells us

East and West
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
tCopyrigha 1916. by Frank Crane)


When we look at nature our mind can
take one of two attitudes We can either
try to use her or TO understand her; we
are either practical or contemplative.
The West is practical, the East con-
templative.
The East wonders at the lightning;
the West telephones and telegraphs with
it, to order groceries or arrange bridge
party.
Your canary bird is a plaything and
pet. Ordinarily you consider II and de-
hight in it as such. But perhaps some
time you have, in a vacant moment,
thought about it, speculated as to what
is going on in it's little l(hn. reflected
upon the infinite skill displayed in It's
construction, in its feathers, bones,
blood vessels, nerves, and all the delicate
intricacies Of its tiny body, constructed
with such consummate perfection. and
all automatic, all actuated by that
strange, never-to-be-forgotten thing we
call life. If so, you have, for a space,
been an Oriental
The Aryan race migrated from central
Asia thru Persia to Greece. There the
mountains and rivers were small: ma
ture seemed confined enough for man 10
grasp her, so the ever active Aryan
mind began the structure of western CIV
ilization. which has lowered thrice-ar-
ustieally In Greece, as organization in
Rome, and in invention in modern times.
All had to do with outward results.
with getting things done, with finding
new things and ways to eat and drink.
finer houses and cities TO live in, more
elaborate furniture to clutter ones self
up with. The value of the western mans
life has always. in the common estima-
ton, consisted in ''the abundance of
things which he possesseth."
Our business has been to get on"
We have used philosophy and religion
only as they contribute to that end Sci
ence has been esteemed highly because
by it we can build bigger factories and
make more money.
The dollar mark is not only the stamp
upon America, but also upon all the
western world. Europe is as money mad
as we. The only modern wars are those
that have a commercial basis. We not
only live for money we die; for money,
die wholesale and retail.
Into this West came, singuIarly
enough, Christianity, an Oriental relig-
ion. All religions are Oriental, for that
matter; the West never invented any
religion except some kind of quack faith
to cure the stomach ache or TO insure
prosperity.
We have no real grasp of Christianity.
We never will have until West is East
and East is West, until the world gets
together. You cannot save piece of
the world; it must be all or none.
Without the West the East stagnates.
Without the East the West will perish
in a turmoil of miserable materialism.
As Richard Hovey:
road runs east and a road runs west
From the table where we sing;
And the lure OF the one Ia a rowing quest
And the lure Of the other a lotus dream
And West Is East II you follow the trail TO the
end;
And East is West II you follow the trail to the
end;
And the East and the West in the spring OF the
world shall blend
As n man and woman that plight
Their troth In the warm spring night.

The Test of Worth
nv m. ADDNGTON BRUCE
Author Of "Tha Riddle OF Person

Parsnthood" etc.

Familiar truths are things we oft
forget That Is why wish today to
call attention TO the fact that the
real test OF a mans worth r. not TO
be found in bis bank account. his
pedigree. or his good looks. but In
his willingness and ability TO rem.
der service.
Forgetting this truth. we are In
danger OF steering a life course that
viii mean the wreeking OF our hopes
and ambitions. For. even II we fail
10 apply TO ourselves the test OF ser.
vice, the world Is certain TO apply
II To uss
So Ear as the ultimate judgment OF
the world is concerned. We are al.
ways situated much like the boy who
has cot his FIRST Job In ONCE. store,
factory. or some other place OF EN-.
pioyment
He comes OF a respectable family.
He il a manly looking little fellow
he IL dressed neatly.
All this influences his employer in
deciding 20 take him on. But II
counts for absolutely NIL In determin-
Ing whether. having been taken on.
he shall hold his job or lose IL.
The determining factor therein Is
that he prove himself both willing
and able TO render service. He viii
benefit himself in proportion as he
benefits others. Failing 20 benefit
others. working only for what he can
get for himself and at the least en-.
penditure OF effort, he will soon dis
cover that he must hunt work else
where.
"oh. yes" his employer may say.
in answer TO a relatives anxious
questioning. Johnny is a nice boy.
well hammered and well behaved.
There is no doubt about that But
really he h. Of no use 10 me tie
doesn't do what he Is paid to do. No
l can't AFFORD 20 keep him"
This same principle holds good
turnout life and in every walk OF
life. Whether We are mechanics,
clerks. lawyers. doctors. writer's or
what not. Ne must meet the test OF
service We even find this test per.
sisting after death. In the judgments
returned by history
The men who have most notably
rendered service are the men history
exalts. The merely rich man. or the
man who is for himself and for him
self alone finds place in history's
pages not at all
But you do not need 20 30 20 his
tory. Look about you in your own
community. Consider who the men
are that most command your respect
They certainly are not the idle
wealthy whose lives are one eternal
self.amusing holiday You may envy
them. but you know well that you
do not admire them.
No. Your admiration Is reserved

Insfinctlvely. that Il 10 say. you

COTTON PRICES
 STILL GOING UP Market Closed Steady at Advance of IF to 26
 Points

New York, March 21-There was a
 further sharp advance in the cotton mar
 ket today with May selling up to 19.05c, nights closing figure. Realizing became
 active around this level causing reac-
 tions late in the afternoon, with May
 closing at 1S.s6c, but the fnalNtone was steady and last prices showed an ad-
 vance of r to 26 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad-
 vance of to 15 points in spite of dis appointing cables and sold 25 to 32 points
 net higher shortly after the call. The further rains reported in the eastern belt led to apprehensions of still more seri- ous delays in crop preparations, particu- arly in boil weevil sections. and there was active Wall street buying which was supposed to be partly due to an expecta- tion that the speeding up Of war prepa- rations would stimulate general business Liverpool sold pretty freely on the ad- vance, however, while there was also a
 good deal of scattered realizing and per- haps some selling for a reaction Prices eased off 10 or 15 points in consequence, but quickly flrmed up again following a report from Washington that the federal war r1sk insurance bureau would insure cargoes to Europe at 8 flat rate of 3 per cent. This was expected to facilitate ex- port business and a renewal of aggressive bull support sent the market up to a net advance of B to A points during the mid- dle of the afternoon, with July selling at lS90c and October at 1S.50c. Trade inter- ests were buyers on the advance and there was covering by early sellers, but the market met a good deal of realizing
 in the late trading and last prices showed reactions of 12 to 19 points. Reports that there was now the heaviest covering in the northwest of the season probably in- creased nervousness over the new crop start as they led to apprehensions of spring floods and there were various
 peace rumors circulating during the day. the day.
