lowing story:

the earth covering several acres. Some
perpleXed he questioned a native close
by and was told that it was the bed
of a lost lake.

the city man. Whatever became OF
all the water?"
1T was this way readily explained

on they had nearly a barrel of pret-

, of patriotism and service which the
boys scatter in their overwhelming
circles of influence. The boy scout
plan is non-military, teaching, how
ever, loyalty, patriotism, and chivalry
and those are ideals to which we
must cling or else fail as a nation and
people.
But every thinking citizen is looking
beyond the present. In fact, we are
fighting this war that the future of
our children might be assured. How
ever, the fate of our nation in the
future will lie not wholly in our hands,
but largely in the hands of our chill

There is immediate need of patriot

place where three scoutmasters are
urgently needed if it is to have it's

The desire of every right-minded
American citizen at this time is to be
of the greatest service possible to the
nation. In response to this noble. mo-
tive, our boys have gone across the
sea and we at home have lent our
service and support to every patriotic
agency. In the interests of the ma
tional good, every minor appeal must
have short shift with us. There is,
however, yet one more organization
which has an urgent and distinct
demand upon us at this time, and be-
cause of it's incaIculable potential val

Adoo is not overestimating the value
of scouting, even from the standpoint
