The fact that North Dakota can
raise cattle as we'll as wheat IS be-
coming more evident each year. A
large per cent of the people have been
Of the opinion that small grains are
the most profitable thing to raise in
North Dakota-in fact, wheat has al
ways been more or less of synonym
for North Dakota. The success that
has been possible the past few years
in the raising Of corn and the clover
leads one to look for profitable way
to market these feedstuffs. Those who
have undertaken the production of
purebred cattle have found these feeds
especially adapted to the maintenance
of the breeding herd, as well as pro-
viding a balanced ration to produce
the best growth in the young stock.
Breeding and growing Of livestock has
been found no more difficult than the
growing of grain, which industry can
be carried on only a comparatively
small part of the year, and more pro-
ftable, as it can be carried on thru
out the whole year, thereby making it
possible to employ more desirable
help and furnishing steady income
throughout the year. It is always
well to profit by the experience Of
others, and there is no better way to
accomplish this, in this instance, than
to come in contact with successful
livestock breeders. A public sale OF
purebred livestock is a good place to
do this as experienced breeders and
buyers who can give expert advice are
in attendance. A sale offering special
opportunities to meet the foremos,
Shorthorn breeders Of this country, az
well as to buy Shorthorns Of the best
type and quality, will be held at Riv.

Those of the old veterans still living

ANNUAL CONVENTION
 MAY BE HELD HERE

Tuesday the Birmingham scout e@ ecutive received telegram from stan lev A. Harris, the national field com missioner of this Scout division MT. Harris wished to know what arrange ments could be made to hold the na- tional Scout executives annual conyen- ton here. which is to be held the latter mart of the summer. MT. Wester imme- diatelv extended an invitation to the commissioner, offering to entertain as many Scout executives as would at- tend.
 The telegram stated that there would be about 50 delegates present. These
 would include those from the territory
 south of the Ohio river, and east or New Mexico. This meeting was to be hele
 in Memphis, but plans may be changed
 and the convention may go to the Magic City. If Birmingham gets the convention of course the meeting will be held al Camp Andrews. The Birmingham ex- ecutive is promising a good time to th' delegates if they decide to hold then !! convention in this city. It would be great boost for Birmingham scouting l if they decide on here as the meetint place. It shows that you are becom 1 ing nationally known, Scouts. Keep l it, work hard and let people know tha l Birmingham has the best Boy Scout | in the United States.

To Dad and Mother

At times the editor or some of the Scout officials would like to have a word with you alone and this space is to be set aside each week for that purpose, and if you have anything you would like to say to the public or to each other we will be pleased to have you use this connection.
 We have often thought that when the Scout news goes into the hands of mother and father. there may be some criticism as to the style. We have no apology to make, but would simply say that we aim as far as it is pos sible to reproduce the stories sent in by the Birmingham Scouts as they come to us. The boys are getting excellent training in expression. The Scout officials would like to have you learn more of the movement ano what it may mean to your boy. | T am sorry for the fellow that hAs never known his dad, That never got acquainted with thu father that he had; The boy that grew up lonely. with { father, day by day,

Scouts who attend Camp Andrews of 1920 ought to be well housed, judging from the way the troops are working on their cabins Troop IS has already com pleted their cabin, and nice cabin it its. The roof is covered with the best roofing, while the floor is of regulation flooring. The windows are glass, and can be removed in the heat of summer, and replaced in the cold of winter. Troop IS intended their cabin to be a dwelling of comfort, good looks and rability, and fnom the looks of things it seems that they have succeeded
 Last winter and spring the boys would hike to the camp site Friday afternoons after school, and work on their cabins, camp for the night, work all day Satur- day, and hike back to town again. It IS a slow process, but scout is patient, and eventually all cabins will be com plete. At present there is not much ac- tivity, in cabin building as camp has just closed and the scouts haven't set tied down yet. Furthermore the bigger and older boys are working for the sum mer. But the scouts will soon start at it again, in force. Summer school Is over, and there is nothing to hinder the troops from sending over at least few boys each week.
 The camp committee has provided a small sawmill for the use of the boys in cutting logs for their cabins. The logs are cut down in the valley by the boys of the different troops, these taking turn about with the saw. Then the team is procured, and the logs are hauled uphill to the spot on which the cabin is to be built. Then with the aid of strong arms, and anything else which can be obtain ed, the logs fall in place. one by one and slowly but surely the cabin begins to rise up until only the roof remains to be constructed.
 Most troops are using the economical plan That is using the materials whicf nature provides, and nothing else pu nails and a few little odds and ends Then other troops, like IS. are uslns more commercial materials, making th' cost of construction little greater. Th' materials for the troop IS cabin wer' donated by the parents and friends O the scouts in the troop. A victroia wa included in the list of donations

THE PARLOR SCOUT
By G. ALGERoN FONTLEROY


 Parlor Scouting has never had the proper amount of publicity, and so the editor of the Scout page is going to correct that without further delay. Scout Fonteleroy (myselG will be taken about from place to place in his mothers limousine and will report his obseryatio on how the rougher class conduct themselves. I write some very nice verse. The following is one l wrote after spending my first and only night at Camp Andrews: Did you ever hear the screechin owl
 a hootin' overhead, Did you see the moon a-laughin' at
 your plight, As you lay a-starin' upward and
 a-shiverin' in your bed. Till you felt the whole tent shakin' with your fright? Did you ever test your courage by
 a-sleepin' in the dark, With the field mice a-runnin' al
 about your toes, And the fuzzy, creepy caterpillars out
 on a midnight lark With a hundred clingin feet bestride
 your nose? 04d you ever feel yellow streaH
 a-chasin' up your spine Till you had your courage scared
 far. far away. And all the night was hard to sleep {
 minute at time
 While you're tprayin' for the frs
 gray sign of day? But then, I Spose you'd never tell O

 face.

Some of you have tried to get me to talk when you met me in the woods near Camp Andrews. and guess you thought me sure nun crank Well now may be all of that, but the reason l have not talked was because l never made up my mind un- til last month that you were worth talking to.
