SCOUTS SHOULD BE PREPARED.

A. f. de Ricqles, of Denver, presl-
dent of the local scout council, has adj
dressed the following message to the
scouts under his jurisdiction:
eat this time It is especially desired
that the boy scouts realize the position
they occupy in the country, and what
Is expected from them.
"Soiled unif6rmsA slouchy carriage
and slovenly appearance will not be
tolerated in a scout. and scoutmasters
and others in authority will please see
to It that the scouts so understand. 1t
is desired TO teach the scouts how to
march and the proper way to stand
and walk, and more attention will >be
given to these features.
There are many duties for scouts
to remember-such as their duty to
their parents, to their city, to their
church and to their country. Never
miss chance to perform any of the
duties that are always waiting for you.
Never forget to be patriotic in all
things and never forget to show your
respect to the Gag Of your country.
"We are about to enter n period in
our history the like of which has never
before been experienced. Before we
are through with 1t some Of you may
be far away fighting for your country.
There are thousand things that scouts
can do here at home that will help win
the war. Remember the scout motto.
