SCOUTING AIDS ARMY LIFE.

That serving the boy scouts is a
thorough mode Of preparation for serv-
ing Uncle Sam has been the expert
ence of Minneapolis scout masters who
have entered various branches Of the
army and navy service.
Scout Executive L. d. Dale has re-
ceived letters from many of his former
scoutmasters saying that their train
ing and experience as leaders among
boys and experts In the scouting game
have helped them materially in doing
their "bit" for Uncle Sam.
Lester II. Badger, formerly scout
master of Troop No. GO, said he has
been able to utilize his knowledge Of
wigwag and semaphore codes, map
making, judging of distances and
sounds, hiking, marching and the value
of implicit obedience and cooperation.
Scoutmaster William IRE, Jr., for
merly of Troop No. 20, sends back this
advice to the members of his troop:
Keep after your scout work. You
can do nothing better. 1t not only pre-
pares you for what you are going to
do us your life work; it will help you
more than you realize to do your bit
for Uncle Sam wherever he may want
you"

scoutmasters now In the service.

GOOD TURNS BY SCOUTS.

The barberry plant is a deadly
weed In the raising of wheat, and boy
scouts in Ashland. ILL.,. have volun-
teered their services to remove this
plant from the grounds of anybody in

All the scout troops In Parkersburg,
W. Va, handled the task Of waking
up 1880 natural gas users between
10 p. m. and 3 a. m. to notify them to
turn off all gas fires and jets, the gas
having been cut off from the city be-
cause of an accident.
A troop Of scouts In Cleveland, o.,
furnished guides for the Museum Of
Art on the busiest days.
Scouts In Larchmont, N. Y, gath
cred about fifty recruits and found
homes for them with people who were
willing to give them lodging for sew
cral days because of the lack OF ac-
commodatlon at Fort Slocum.
On pieces of cardboard the scouts
OF Birmingham, Ala, paste small car

&[3OI&
SOU rs
Conducted by National Council Of the
HELPED AS Sc0UTMASTER
Conducted by National Council Of tn
Boy Scouts OF America)

Why busy men turn scoutmasters to
supply the place Of others who have
enlisted Is told In a recent letter as
follows:
One Saturday afternoon few
weeks ago a middle-aged business man
on his way home In street car en-.
cOuntered friend In uniform. There
was no mistaking the service in which
the friend was engaged, for he was
surrounded by dozen boys In their
early teens, who chung to the car
straps and crowded as close to him as
they could. They were all in the
khaki Of the Boy Scouts Of America.
"Hello. Wallace!" said the business
man, working his way within speaking
distance. "HOw long since you've
been sc0utmaster? Didn't suppose
q busy lawyer like you could give the
time"
I'm a file-closer, so to speak, said
the lawyer. "Y0u knew young John
Edwards, who went across with the
National Guard? He used to have
this troop. I'm taking his place until
he comes back--.and l never enjoyed
anything more In my life. Better get
a troop yourself and make the same
kind of discovery I've made--that
you're exactly ten years younger than
you thought you were."
Another discovery that the busy
lawyer doubtless made-lf he had not
made II before he became scoutmas-
ter--was that his new work offered
him a satisfying opportunity for ser.
vice. II he had supposed that scout
troop merely exists for the purpose Of
giving 81 boys a good time, he soon
learned that the good time Is tnciden'
tai aud that the real object Of scouting
Is to build .gOad citizens and to serve
the community.
Red Cross. agriculture, Thrift
stamps. local emergencies-to men,
ton those things Is merely to begin to
list the boy scouts wartime activities,
When he saw the manner In which his
boys attacked the job Of selling Liber'
ty bonds he realized that he was head
ing a group Of young minutemen en-.
rolled In the service Of the nation.

WILLIAMS DAY IN COURT
For Once His Sharp. Tonoued wife
Had to Be Silent, While He Held
Forth at Length.

On one OF the Melanesian Islands IN

tors wife, Lydia, lady possessed or
sterling qualities, but also. unfor-
tunately, Of very long and very sharp
tongue. Miss Florence Coombe In
Islands Of Enchantment" tells how
the pastors day Of triumph over his
lady finally arrived.
Poor William often had hard time,
hut one dny bright idea broke upon
him. Lydia had been on the warpath,
and hnd refused to allow him to have
his say. He longed to speak his mind,
hut the gathering tongue never ceased.
Presently the church bell rang, and
William hurried to his vestry to robe,
Lydia to her place among the women.
When prayers were ended, William
came forward in his surplice to say n
few words.
What must Lydia's feelings have
been when she found that she herself
was the text Of her husbands dis
course! As she sat there meekly and
tearfully below him, for once william
had his hearts desire and could say
what he really thought. He had the

A Battle
of Arrest

We shall have to De on our guard,
therefore, both in the matter of pes
smism and of optimism. At the present
moment there is a dangerous degree Of
optimism afoat The reaction from the
depression of recent months is natural
and proper, but it should not lead to ex-
aggerated hopes. We have blocked the
e7emy and we have defeated him in the
crucial battle of this campaign. But the
most that was possible for US this yea,
was 10 prevent the Germans from win
ming the European phase of the war on
the battlefield; it will take one or two
more years for US to win it by our own
efforts. The second Marine was like the
first, a great and successful battle of
arrest; but nations are not conquered by
battles of arrest-such battles merely
save the nation or nations attacked
There remains the larger task of beat
ing the enemy. and he remains, despite
his recent reverse, still unbeaten in the
larger sense.
