SCOUTING AIDS ARMY LIFE.

That serving the boy scouts is
thorough mode Of preparation for serv-
ing Uncle Sam has been the expert
ence of Minneapolis scout masters who
have entered various branches Of the
army and navy service.
Scout Executive L. d. Dale has re-
ceived letters from many of his former
scoutmasters saying thai their train
ing and experience as leaders among
boys and experts in the scouting game
have helped them materially in doing
their "bit'' for Uncle Sam.
Lester Il. Badger, formerly scout
master Of Troop No. Sc. said he has
been able to utilize his knowledge of
wigwag and semaphore codes, map
making, judging of distances and
sounds. hiking, marching and the value
of implicit obedience and cooperation.
Scoutmastere William Ore, Jr.. for
merly of Troop No. 20, sends back this
advice to the members of his troop:
Keep after your scout work. You
can do nothing better. 1t not only pre-
pares you for what you are going to
do as your life work; it will help you
more than you realize to do your bit
for Uncle Sam wherever he may want
your

scoutmasters now in the service.

HELPED AS scoUTMAsTER

Why busy men turn scoutmasters to
supply the place Of others who have
enlisted is told In recent letter as
follows:
One Saturday afternoon a few
weeks ago middle-aged business man
on his way home in street car Ell
! countered friend in uniform There
was no mistaking the Service in which
the friend was engaged, for he was
surrounded by dozen boys in their
early teens, who clung TO the car
straps and crowded as close to him as
they could. They were all III the
khaki Of the Boy Scouts of America.
Hello, WalIacel" said the business
man, working his way within speaking
distance. "How long since you've
been scoutmaster? DIDN'T suppose
a busy lawyer like you coald give the
time."
I'm file-closer, SO to speak," said
the lawyer. "You knew young John
Edwards, who went across with the
National Guard? He used to have
this troop. I'm taking his place until
he comes back--and / never enjoyed
anything more in my life. Better get
a troop yourself and make the same
kind of discovery I've made-that
you're exactly ten years younger than
you thought you were"
Another discovery that the busy
lawyer doubtless made-f he had not
made it before he became a scoutmas-
ter-was that his new work offered
him satisfying opportunity for SER
vice. If he had supposed that scout
troop merely exists for the purpose Of
giving 80 boys good time, he soon
learned that the good time Is inciden-
tai and that the real object of scouting
is to build good citizens and to serve
the community.
Red Cross, agriculture, Thrift
stamps, local emergencies-to men,
ton those things is merely to begin to
list the boy scouts wartime activities.
When hesaw the manner in which his
boys attacked the Job of selling Liber-
ty bonds he realized that he was head
ing group of young minutemen en-
rolled in the service of the nation.

GOOD TURNS BY SCOUTS.

The barberry plant Is deadly
weed in the raising of wheat, and boy
scouts in Ashland, ILL.,, have volun-
teered their services to remove this
plant from the grounds of anybody in
town.
All the scout troops in Parkersburg,
w. Va, handled the task Of waking
up 1850 natural gas users between
10 p. m. and 3 a. m. to notify them to
turn off all gas fires and jets. the gas
having been cut off from the city be-
cause of an accident.

GOOD TURNS BY SCOUTS.

Scouts at Spartanburg. s. c., helped
the chamber of commerce TO find
homes for families and friends of the
New York Guard stationed at Camp
Wadsworth.
While scouts in Freeland, Pa, were
In camp on Mount Yeager they learned
that young lady had become lost
from a farm about three miles away.
After week of search she was found
by party OF scouts and had to be
carried home. She was nearly starved
and had lived on berries.
