Representative Edward w. Saunders
Of Virginia remarked at a social gath

pan out the expected results, and told
this story as an illustration:
1.-TWO men were having gabfest
over n lunch table recently when one
told OF an experience he had just had
with a tramp.
He came TO my house said the
man, impudently banged on the kitch-

SCOPE OF SCOUT SERVICE.

Those manly youngsters, organized
as the Boy Scouts Of America, COM
mended themselves to the public from
the start, says Southern editor. They
are called upon to render important
service on every large occasion, and
their willingness, discipline and eff
cheney have been remarked with COM
munlty pride by observant citizens in
general.
The scope Of scout service Is all the
while widening. AS helpful to city,
state and nation az the organization
has been within the last six months In
Liberty loan, Red Cross and food con-
servation campaigns, greater still will
be Its activities In this new year. The
scouts will be utilized by the federal
government In many ways.
The boys are always on their mettle
and they never tire of duty. No trained
soldier could be more obedient to or
ders and none should be more loyal to
his colors.
The wonder Is how any city got
along as well as 1t did before the boy
scouts came into corporate being. And
the more the public sees Of them tho
more sympathetic will be fits support.
All honor to the scouts and the scout
masters who instruct and lead them.

MEN CAN BE scoUTMAsTERs.

Uncle Sam must have the service Of
organized boyhOod to win the war.
The Boy Scouts of America are Off
cially working in conjunction with the
government in the selling of War Saw
lngs stamps and Liberty bonds. Pres
ident Wilson has made each boy scout
In the country his dispatch bearer on
his important messages TO the people.
Boy scouts are the reliable aids
of the Red Cross and the Red Triangle.
These boys are in many cases doing
the patriotic service Of a man.
Theodore Roosevelt says, "The duty
Of being scoutmaster comes next in
Importance to being in active service"
Scouting makes the boy physically
strong, mentally awake and morally
straight" This is the type of citizen
ship this country must have.
The ravages of war weaken the ma
ton for generations. Scouting is the
best remedy for this weakness. Scout
ing is outdoor life and will keep one
young. 1t Is the best of recreation.
1t gives new slant on life. 1t opens
u new world Of practical information.
What is more splendid than the COM
panionship and loyalty of a group of
fine American boys? The busy man
makes the best scOutmaster. No man
Is too busy to be patriot.
Scouting Is the new patriotism, based
upon loyalty to God and to country and
service to other people.

Scouts Of America.)
SCOUTS KEEN ON WAR WORK

A notable feature Of scouting in 1917
was the pronounced recognition of the
organization as an aid to the govern
ment in the conduct of the war.
Before the war, boys greatest
ambition was to be quarterback on the
football team or pitcher on the base
ball team or captain of the athletic
team said Chief Scout Executive
James z. West.
To-day, 295,7 6S of the huskiest boys
In America find plenty of excitement
and satisfaction In being just scouts.
This is because playing games is a
side issue In wartime, and scouting is
real Job.
"When men are marching away to
battle for liberty, real boys are not
satisfied TO play. When bridges, manu-
featuring plants, public works in every
town and city are in danger from for
eign foes, genuine fellows want to do
their share in protecting their homes.
with starvation destroying our
friends overseas and want threatening
In America, an American boy who is
the real thing wants to get his exer-
else by producing food.
"The Boy Scouts Of America are
happy because Uncle Sam did not pass
them by when he rolled up his sleeves
and began to gather his forces. The
department Of agriculture said, we
need you and in month thousands
of scout gardens were growing. The
treasury department said, we want
your help and In two Liberty loan
campaigns the scouts gathered more
than S125 100000 which had been over
looked by older canvassers, and are
now hard at work selling War Saw
Ing stamps. The food administrator
said, I'd be glad of your assistance
and third of million scout homes
cut down on wheat, meat, sugar and
fats and began to spread the doctrine
of food conservation. They are also
government dispatch bearers for the
committee on public information.
There's more fun in being scout
than in all the athletic sports COM
bined, for IL Is real work-needed, ex-
pected and appreciated by the nation"

BOY SCOUT THRIFT SHOP.

The scouts Of Omaha have again
made themselves felt in the scout
world. They have started a ''Boy Scout
Thrift Shop" A cobbling class has
been formed and all the people of the
community have been asked to turn
over to the boy scouts all old and dis
carded shoes.
Under the instruction of an expert
the scouts are taught to repair these
shoes, and they are then made avail
able ut nominal price for those In
need. Over 5000 pairs were turned In.
