SOU IS
Conducted by National Council Of the
Boy Scouts of America.)
ENGLISH SCOUTS PREPARED

The boy scouts Of Great Britain
have had message from Prime Minis
ter Lloyd George, praising their readI-
ness for service when the war broke
out. The premier wrote:
ut Is perhaps only since the begin
ming Of the war, during these three
years Of constant drain upon the man
hood Of our nation. that we hive come
TO realize the great value of the move
ncnt which your chief inaugurated
six years before. We all now see the
meaning Of the motto BE Prepared
which the association has lived up to
with such sincerity and success.
II do not think / am exaggerating
when l say that the young boyhood Of
our country, represented by the boy
scouts association, shares the laurels
for having been prepared with the old
and trusted and tried British army and
navy. For both proved their title to
nuke the claim when the great war
broke upon us like thief in the night.
ut Is no small matter to be proud
Of that the boy scouts were able within
O month Of the outbreak of the war to
give the most intelligent and energetic
help in all kinds Of service. When the
boyhood Of nation can give such
practical proofs of its honor, straight
ness and loyalty, there is not much
danger Of that nation going under. for
those boys are in training to render
service to their country as leaders IL
all walks Of life in the future.
II can only say to NIL sections of the
movement, old scouts and new scouts,
scout officers and patrol leaders, Go
forward; stick to 1t to the end.

The elevator would also deduct en-

fixed charge made in this locality for

charge included the commission of 1

buyers

ted the following rule for determining
the price of wheat at any country

There is only one price for wheat at
country point. That price is always
to be arrived at by taking as basis
the price at the most advantageous
primary market where we have fixed
a price and deductino the freioht to
that market and fair handling profit.
That is the price to be paid for wheat
