FRENCH BOY SCOUTS BRAVE.

A letter to Chief Scout Executive
James l.. West from Corporal w. f.
Bates. Jr., with the American expedi-
tionary forces In France, indicates the
boy scouts the world around are very
much the same:
yesterday while ON the road, l met
a party of French boy scouts with
whom I had little chat. They even
shared with me some little biscuits
which they had for lunch.
"Hlking back to their much-bom-
barded town In the rain, they made a
decided impression and a very happy
one, for imagined myself back again
for the moment with my own lads of
Troop No. of Oil City, Pa.
"Some time l hope to take up the
work again. with my boys in Gods
country. Until then ii Is good to re-
member the happy days l have had
back home in camp and on the hike"

Conducted by National Council of the
Boy Scouts of America)
SCOUTS HUNT BLACK WALNUT

In making a census of black walnut
trees the Boy Scouts of America have
new task set by the president.
This work will appeal especially to
scouts, not only as an important and
patriotic activity, but also as live.
interesting, outdoor job, which links
itself with many phases of scouting.
The government needs black walnut.
In fact, black walnut wood is prime
necessity for the prosecution of our
war program of guns and aircraft.
At this moment the entire black wal
nut growth of our forests is subject to
census classification for war purposes.
In behalf of the war department, boy
scouts are asked to undertake this
black walnut census.
1t Is desired to locate Immediately
all available standing black walnut
timber wherever Ii occurs. isolated or
In small groups as we'll as In larger
lots.
1t is important that every tree Of
this species be located and placed on
record with details as TO its size and
availability, together with the owners
name and address. and such other data
as is essential in providing the infor-
nation required by the government.
This Information data. as collected
by scouts. will be tabulated by the for
est service of the department of agri-
culture and placed Mt the disposal Of
the government. The government does
not ask for old black walnut furniture,
but only the timber.

Withstandng Large Use Of
Motor Vehicles.


prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Substitutions for the horse have so
far failed to diminish his number on
farms, where he Is mostly bred. The
railroad did not verify the common
prophecy of the horses gloomy future
nearly century ago. and many years
elapsed before the heyday of the b.
cycle arrived with its expected menace
to the horse. That machine of pleas
ure and toll diverted attention from
the first real antagonist of the horse.
the electric street railway, and this
was formidable one. Street-car serv-
Ice could not have been developed by
horses to the extent that 1t has been
carried By electricity, yet there was an
enormous displacement of horses
when they no longer pulled street cars.
1t Is roughly estimated that 100000
horses would be required to move the
street cars now In city service. and
that farmers would need to keep a
stock of perhaps 100000 horses to
produce this supply. Yet horses kept
on increasing.
Apparently the most effective foe Of
the horse has appeared In the last ten
years In the motor vehicle, although
its Importance I'm this respect Is pop.
ularly exaggerated. According to sta
tisties collected by the United States
department of agriculture. the total
state registrations of motor cars were
$4,000 in 1905. about 100000 in 1910.
over 100000 In 1912, over 100000 in
1915, and 3,512,9 900 In 1916.
Automobiles do not merely displace
horses but many are used by men in
occupations dependent on either horses
or automobiles for personal movement.
such as real estate agents. builders,
and some merchants and manufactn-
rers. and there is also the large public
automobile passenger service in cities
and again, the large number of auto
driving horses.
With motor trucks and commercial
vehicles the case is different. Here is
clearly a complete substitution of fuel
power for horse power. 1t is the opin-
ion that every motor truck on the av-
erage displaces three horses. The state
records often merge the registration
of motor trucks and commercial We
hicleS with that of automobiles, but,
to the extent that the separation IL
made. it is known that 11S,6S2 of the
former were registered in 1916. Prob

WHAT THE SCOUT PLAN Is.

AS scout the boy willingly adopts
as real and vital the universally &C
cepted principles of life as set forth
In the scout oath and law. This effec-
lively influences the boys nature and
character so as better to prepare him
for that work which the church can
best do.
A scout promises that upon his
honor he will do his duty to God and
country and obey the scout law; that
he will help other people at all times
and that he will keep himself physical
ly strong, mentally awake, and morally
straight.
The scout law, covering the twelve
fundamental principles. requires a
scout first of all to be trustworthy.
That means that he must not tell lie,
cheat or deceive, but keep every trust
sacred. A scout is loyal to all to whom
loyalty is due. including his scout lead
err, his home, his parents and his coun-
try. Furthermore, scout Is helpful.
prepared at all times to save life. help
injured persons and do at least one
good turn daily.
The boy scout movement BEAUTIFULLY
and sanely offsets the disadvantages
which civilization has caused.
It insures good citizenship.

to give victory to their own ideas
