CAN BE A PIONEER SCOUT.

There are thousands of boys from
he backwoods of Maine to the ranches
of California, and from the Everglades
Of Florida to the plains of the great
Northwest, who have not joined the
Boy Scouts of America. because of the
impracticabjlity of organizing troops
in their home towns. For such boys
and only such boys-who find it impos-
sible to be active members of troops,
provisions have been made for enroll
ing them as Pioneer Scouts.
A Pioneer Scout is admitted to men,
bership upon written application on a
form provided by the national council,
which tells what he must do. His OBJ
legations are the same as those Of the
active scouts who are members of
troops. He receives certificate of
membership in the same way as mem
bers of regular troops.

SCOUTS AID THE PosTMEN.

Wheeling boy scouts were given an
opportunity to aid Uncle Sam during
Christmas holidays in u manner which
has never been resorted to there be-
fore. The scouts went out on the
trucks delivering parcel post packages
and aided the driver In disposing of his
load.
This enabled the employees of the
post Office to prevent the congestion
that has occurred in the past. The
scouts efforts were both successful
and pleasing to those in charge of the
mail distribution, and in all cases the
boys have been found absolutely hon

NESTS FOR SITTING HENS.

Where only a few hens are set
special quarters are not neces-
sary, but If many are used a
separate room should be provid-
ed. If portable nests have been
provided for the laying hens, the
sitterS can be moved in them to
new quarters. OF the various
styles of nests used for sitting
hens this one has given good sat
isfaction: A box Is inches
square, 10 inches high with a
board six inches high in front
to prevent nesting material from
falling out. The nests may be
arranged in tiers with n hinge
front which makes platform
for each tier when open. When
using a bank of nests as the one
just described, it would be well
to place three or four inches Of
damp earth in each nest. The
nesting material Is next put In
and may consist of hay, chaff, or
straw. Pack this material down
firmly and shape circular nest
out of 1t, which should be slight
ly deeper at the center than at
the edges, as a nest so shaped
will prevent the eggs from roll
Ing out from under the hen and
becoming chilled.

FROM SPEECH OF EDWIN JONES,
MAYOR OF JACKSON, ON
LABOR DAY, 1908

eve have met here today with the
laborers of this and adjoining coun-
ties, who represent a worthy and
righteous cause-that of organized
labor. And l want to say to you, Mr..
Chairman, and members of your COM
mittee, that it is with great pleasure
and appreciative consciousness of the
honor that | accepted your invitation
to welcome to our city the trade
unionists, laborers and all who are
interested in your great cause.
| trust that your deliberations will
be most profitable for the cause of
labor and most encouraging for the
upbuilding, Strengthening and adj
vancement of organized labor. You
are meeting at a time when capital
and the general public are recogniz-
ing the unquestionable rights and the
absolute necessity of labor organizing
for it's protection; at time when the
laborers of the country are receiving
more for their labor, are happier,
more contended, and enjoying more of
the fruits of their labors than at any
time in it's history, at a time when
there is a strengthening of the ties of
friendship and common interests be-
tween capital and labor that render
labor troubles less frequent"

international Paper Mills Employees
DIspIeased Over Action Of the Ma

Dissatisfied with the general In
crease of ten cents an hour as direct
ed by the national war labor board,
members of the pulp, sulphite and pa
per mill workers union in Glens Falls
N. Y, Palmer Falls, Fort Edward and
Hudson Falls decided not to report for
work in the International Paper COM

employment in other plants where they
can earn bigger wages.
John Burke, president Of the Inter-
national Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite
and Paper Mill Workers, said that
the action Of the men would not be
sanctioned as strike, although the
decision of the men would affect all
mills of the International Paper COM

What Eye Comfort
Means

Eye comfort often means more
much more-than freedom from
eye-strain, because freedom from
eye-strain means freedom from many
other physical complaints. This is
explained by the close and sympa-
thetic relation between the eyes and
the general nervous system. People
who are nervous without any ap-
parent cause would be wise in having
their eyes examined for possible de-
fects. No better service than ours.

You'll find that selhshness< won't pay.
Before you pick a quarrel with any
body it is wise to find out just what
sort of fighter the other fellow is.
Bully the English Sparrow is buffer.
He always has been bluff. He has
had his way in this world largely
because he has made his nefghbors
think that he is hard fellow to beat.
The result is that Bully has become
the most impudent of all the feath-
cred people. He is noisy. coarse and
offensive.
Bob White is just the opposite of
Bully. Bob is neat. pretty and the
most inoffensive appearing little fell
low you can imagine. He doesn't
look as if he would fight. or could
fight if he would. 1t was just on
this point that Bully made sad mis-
take. He thought that all he had to
do was to threaten Bob White and
Bob would fly away, So he puffed out
all his feathers to make himself look
as big as possible and. screaming an
grily, flew at Bob and actually struck
at him once.
That once was enough. Bully
learned then what some others might
have told him. 1t was that Bob White

A Miracle Worked
With a Pot of Beans

You wouldn't think you could do
much with a pot of beans, would
you? Well, the other night I gave
Jim q dish which is now on our reg
ular menu. 1t was beans with toma.
to sauce, to be sure, but with that
mixed bananas baked slowly in
maple syrup until they were soft,
and then l just gave it a dash of
AL Sauce. Boston wouldn't have
recognized those beans. Jim says he
will recognize them if he meets them
again, and he hopes it will be often.
AL Sauce is not a Worcestershire,
you know, it is just a miracle
working flavor that transforms left
overs and turns beans into bliss.
