seem to have a mistaken idea about
the part the Boy Scouts of America
are taking in all war work activities
thinking that It IS done only with
the view Of giving the organization a
little free publicity" said G. r. Ever
man. This Is not the case at all In
the first place. the treasury depart
ment OF the United States has called
on this organization to participate in
all war work. because Of the fact that
II is completely organized throughout
the country and is prepared to do
what they may be requested.
The scouts are not called on IN Or
der that some adults may get out Of
doing work, but because Of the short
age Of labor in most cases, II is i'm
possible to get men to do the work.
And then by saving this labor. even
though men might be available. the
money saved through the efforts of
the Boy Scouts is just that much more
towards that particular fund or piece
OF work which is helping win the war.
So the scouts are doing two important
things in every campaign-first, they
are taking the place Of men during
the shortage Of labor; second. they are
saving committees thousands of dol
lars, which is really a contribution to
that particular phase Of helping to
win.
Throughout the country there are
about $4,000 Of these boys doing their
Bit in FL Paso about $50. With their
leaders, this can be raised TO 1000 or
even $500 in this city. But leaders
must be furnished and prepared. men

reasons exempt from military service,
should enter this service at once. I'm

When I saw your FL Paso Liberty
monument, I thought of the Liberty
poles that I used to see IN my boy
hood days in Virginia." said John c.
bEOOhs, confederate veteran OF New
Orleans. During and for many years
after the revolutionary war, these
Liberty poles were erected to stimu-
late patriotism and to commeroa.e
heroic deeds done by some Of our
revolutionary ancestors. These poles
have all disappeared. In almost ev-
cry town in the old southern states.
the people have erected monuments
Of granite and marble 70 the confed-
crate soldier. Some OF them are i'm

craven burning words. Some Of them
have been erected 10 or 20 years.
When placed. they were located in

they are far from the most frequent
