These Scouts began planting in Febru-

Scout has from one-eighth to full
acre OF ground under cultivation.

The Boy Scout is no idler, ne is no

1.-THE loan machinery was made easy,
simple and informal, so that all could
come in. We didn't want to scare the
plain people away, you know.
"Some of our past loans did scare
the plain people. They were like the
swagger seashore hotel.
'aThis hotel was so very swagger
that the guests all felt like inmates
or prisoners.
"There was a little man who arrived
there one night and rang his bell for
some ice water. No answer. He rang
again. Still no answer. Then he put
his finger on the button and held IT
there till he heard footsteps.
"a knock, and majestic maid en-
tered. She looked at the little man
scornfully.
"Did you ringT she asked.
ayes said'he.
