1t will be observed that the average
price of land has not kept pace with
their producing value II is therefore
pointed out that the opportunities for
the purchase of high-class land is still
within the reach of those with lin

The fact that Canada has ms its next

is bound to have stimulating effect

C. R. MARSHALL
ACCEPTS SCOUT
MASTER PLACE

1t was announced today that George
o. Marshall, farm demonstration agent
for Sumter county, has accepted the
post of Scout Master for the troop of
Boy Scouts now in the process of or
ganjzation here under the direction
of Joseph Perkins, secretary manager
CT the Chamber OF Commerce.
MI Marshall was picked for the
place because of his personality, a~eus-
toned to working with boys in the pig
clubs and corn clubs throughout the
county and elsewhere, he is naturally
sympathetic with youngsters and pop
ular with them. He is a man of high
ideals and accepted the place only af-
ter it had been shown to him that it
possessed possibilities for real ser
vice to the boys of the community.
With the appointment of Mr. Mar
shall the way is paved for early COM
pletion of the organization A score
of boys, many of them accompanied by
parents who were ignorant of the de-
tails and purposes of the scout move
ment, have called on Mr. Perkins at
the Chamber of Commerce headquar-
tiers and signifed their intention to
join 1t is proposed to hold an or
ganization meeting of the boys, with
their parents, at an early date when

for announcement One preliminary
task will be the selection and APP
pointment of three assistant scout
masters, boys of over IS years, who
will be directly in charge of the boys
at ali times they are together.
Il IS believed the number of boys
joining the organization here will be
sufficiently large to allow the early
formation of a second troop and the
dividing of the members by ages, plac-
ing the younger boys in one troop and
the older ones in another.
