SCOUTS STEADY IN SCHOOL.

That all boys should do their best
school work in these war times is the
necessary caution Of Commissioner Of
Education P. P. Claxton, as follows:
"With the hearty approval of the
president, the department Of the in
terror is carrying on through the bu-
reau of education a nationwide cam
paign for the maintenance Of our
schools and of other agencies Of edu-
cation as nearly as possible at their
full efficiency in work and in attend
ance during the war. It occurs to me
that none should be more interested
In the purpose Of this campaign or
more helpful in making it effective
than the boy scouts. They are prac-
hcally all schoolboys, many of them
about ready to enter high school. They
are all active and energetic and al
ways willing to help forward any good
cause.
'T am therefore appealing to you for
help, first, in bringing it about that all
scout boys, or as nearly all of them
as possible, shall enter school prompt
ly, attend regularly, and work hard ;
and second, in getting the help of all
scout boys in inducing other boys to
do the same"

SCOUTS LIFE NOT WASTED

After Lieut.. Gen. Sir Robert Baden
Powell made known the heroic death
Of one French boy scout described In
q letter found on the body Of a dead
German, the whole country sorrowed
over the lads sacrifice. The German
had written In part:
"a traitor has been shot-a little
French lad belonging to one OF those
gymnastic societies which wear the
trl-color button. The poor little fell
low In his infatuation wanted to be a
hero. A German column was passing
along a wooded defile, and the boy was
caught and asked whether the French
were about. He refused to give infor-
nation. Fifty yards further on fire
was opened from the cover of the
wood. The boy was asked in French
If he had known that the enemy was
In the forest, and he did not deny it.
He went with firm step to telegraph
post and stood up against 1t, with
green vineyard behind him, and re-
ceived the volley of the firing party
with a proud smile on his face. In
fatuated boy; it was pity to see such
wasted courage"
Katherine Lee Bates has written
this poem in Life:
Wasted? blind of heart, you wrote 1t
wasted,
The loyalty, the courage and the pride;
Nay, you, who could but pity and deride
That pearl Of boyhood, smiling as he
tasted
The sacrament of death; you. who had
hasted
BY steep descent from where the stars
abide
TO heavy darkness; you, who had denied
The CLEAN of God in your own clay,
are wasted.
VIII not all lovers of the fair and true
Forever see that little figure stand
Erect against the post, to die for France?
Her leafing April vineyard better knew
The beauty of that deed than your dull
hand,
Wondering at honor, counting faith mis-
chance.

On account of the labor shortage,
neighborhood cooperation in silo fill
ing should be highly developed during
me current fall All the silage crops
Uhould be saved without loss, while all
silos should be filled to capacity. Five
or six or more farmers who own silos
In one community should combine
their working forces into a crew
which should rotate from farm to farm
as the corn becomes ripe enough.
Such an arrangement resulting from
the interchange of neighborhood farm
labor will minimize the expense Of
housing the silage crops.
It Is essential that corn should not
be cut for ensilage until it is mature
and through the dough stage, as re-
peated demonstrations have shown
conclusively that corn in this condi'
ton Is at the peak of nutrient value.
The bugaboo about frosted corn being
wholly unsuitable for ensilage is fall
lacy, as corn which has been damaged
with frost can be converted into very
rood ensilage If it is cut shortly after
wards. In the case of badly frosted
corn, however, there occurs a consid-
cradle loss of leaves.
Watering the Chopped Feed.
In case the corn is excessively dry
and wilted at the time of silo filling,
water should be run through q rubber
hose into the cutting box and blower
during the filling process so that the
chopped feed may be wet thoroughly
and rendered succulent for future feed
ing In extreme cases where it is i'm
possible to saturate the corn COM
pletely in this manner, and where wa
ter pressure Is available, a second hose
is sometimes carried over the top of
the silo so that the water falling on

No kidney ailment is unimportant.
Don't overlook the slightest back
ache or urinary irregularity. Nature
may be warning you of approaching
dropsy, gravel or Bright's disease.
Kidney disease is seldom fatal if
treated in time but neglect may
pave the way. Don't neglect aHame
or aching back another day. Don't
ignore dizzy spells, headaches,
WEAKNESS or depression. IL you feel
you need kidney help begin using
the reliable, time-tried remedy,
Doan's Kidney Pills. For so years,
Doan's have been found effective.
Endorsed by Canaan people.
Mrs. w. e. Pectal, w. Main St.,

aches, which caused me considerable

China, to supply demand by Chinese
residents in the United States. They
are supposed to possess much medi-

SCOUT SAVES GIRLS LIFE.

The fact that Grace Ohler, aged
eight, Is alive in Seton hospital in Gin
cinnati is tribute, physicians say,
to boy scout training. Watching over
her, with smile ON his face, is Shell
don Smith, aged fourteen, boy scout,
who is given credit for saving her life
by quick action.
The Ohler girl while carrying a jar
of gasoline, broke it and severed an
artery in her arm. An effort to sum-
mon seven physicians in the neighbor-
hood was futile.
With blood streaming from the
wound, the girl called young Smith
from his home. Utilizing his boy scout
training, he applied a double tourni-
quet. A boy friend then drove the
girl and the boy scout to Seton hos
pital in his auto in ten minutes. There
the severed artery was closed.

Historians Differ as to SUGAR.

Historians say that the sugar cane
was introduced by Columbus in Santo
Domingo, that it spread from that
island to Cuba and Mexico and that
the Portuguese introduced the cane
into Brazil, bringing it from Madeira.
Some authorities have said that sugar
cane was introduced into Louisiana in
1851 by Jesuit priests, who had it
brought from Santo Domingo, while
others give the date of the first plant
