SUCCESS NOT FOR LEANERs
Man That Wins In LIES Struggle
Must Have the Utmost Conf
dencs In Himself.

Power Is the goal Of every worthy
ambition. and only weakness comes
from imitation or dependence on 9TH
ers. Power Is self-generated. We
cannot increase the strength OF our
muscles by sitting in gymnasium and
letting another exercise for US.
Nothing else 50 destroys the power
to stand alone as the habit Of lean
ing upon others. If you lean you will
never be strong or original. Stand
alone or bury your ambition to be
somebody in the world.
The man who tries to give his chill
dren a start in the world so that they
will not have so hard a time as he had
Is unknowingly bringing disaster upon
them. What he calls giving them q
start will probably give them a set
back In the world. Young people
need all the motive power they can
get. They are naturally learners, i'm
itat0rs. copiers, and 1t Is easy for
them to develop into echoes or imita-
tons. They will not walk alone while
you furnish crutches; they will lean
upon you just as long as you will let
them.
One Of the greatest decisions that q
human being could ever have is that
he is permanently benefited by con-
tinued assistance from others.-Orison

GOVERNOR PRAISES SCOUTS.

Gov. w. L. Harding Of Iowa thus
expresses his approval Of the scout
movement:
"Now that we have come to recog-
nize the vital importance Of making
every citizen Of the United States q
true American, we must arrive also
at a fuller realization Of the benefits
Of each great movement which aims
to accomplish this. Among these truly
splendid movements Is that Of the Boy
Scouts Of America. and 1t Is highly to
the credit Of the organization that It
has the vision and began the work be-
fore the nation a. q whole had come to
the crisis.
II see ahead Of us. not only for the
period Of the war but during the gen.
erations to come. no single work finer
or more hopeful than that which in
spires to direct the boys Of America
into loyal, idealistic. intelligent man
hood. I wish the tenets Of scout law.

might be written also into the hearts
Of every man."

AFTER HUN scoUTMAsTERs

No man exercises a greater in
fiuence over an American boy than his
scoutmaster. The Hun understands
this. Before the war some Germans
sought commissions as scout leaders.
Why?
Since the war began facts have
come to light showing that Germans
and pr0-Germans have endeavored to
escape detection and continue their
connection with the organization, al
though 1t Is committed to patriotic
service for the United States of Amer
lea, the defeat Of Germany and the
stamping out Of German militarism.
1t Is time for every scout official to
keep awake. Is any troop sluggish In
selling Liberty bonds and War Saw
ings stamps? Find the reason
there's no time to be lost.
Who is teaching the boysf What
Is he teaching? Who endorsed his
application for a commission? Did the
applicant tell the truth on his appli-
cation?
A scout Is kind-but he does not
befriend those who are killing his
brothers in battle and numbering wom-
en- and children for no reason except
the love Of slaughter. and greed.
The Boy Scouts Of America are
Americans. They obey the orders Of
the government.
