A GOOD SCOUT TROOP GONE,

1t is not often that there is pleasure
in the preparation of an obituary no
tice. In the case of one troop which
has just become defunct there is, how
ever, a peculiar satisfaction in not
ing it's timely end. The story is con-
tanned in the following letter from
Field Scout Executive Stephen Nj. Ma
jor of Chicago, ILL.,:
'"Troop No. 312 of Chicago will not
be registered this year. Every one of
the boys but one are in the service
This was troop of older boys, and
when they come back they will all be
scoutmasters or assistant scoutmas-
terS.
'"The one who is not in the service
is not quite Old enough to get his par
ents' consent, but is going to techni-
cal school, so that the minute his
birthday arrives he will be ready"

WHEAT SHOWED
SPIRIT OF U. S.
Sacrifice to Ensure Allied Loaf
Greatest Single Food
Achievement.
SUFFICIENT SUPPLY NOW.
Ali the Nations VIII Be Able to Re-
turn to Their Normal Sup
ply Of White
Bread.

Overshadowing all other accomplish
ments Of the American people under
the leadership of Food Administration
is the history Of wheat exports in the
past sixteen months. Our wheat ex-
port program proved conclusively te
the world that America was In this
war from start to finish and willing to
make any sacrifice that will hasten
victory or maintain the health and
strength Of people overseas, upon
whom rested the heaviest weight of
our war.
Now that pressure on ocean tonnage
is eased by the stopping of large move
ments Of troops to Europe, we may re-
lax our efforts to save wheat. The &C.
cumulated surplus In Australia Argen-
tine and other hitherto inaccessible
markets will become available, and
probably no more than our normal sur
plus will have to leave this country.
We in America and the nations which
have won the word for freedom will
be enabled to eat their normal wheat
loaf at the common table of the peo-
pies of democracy.
We entered the past crop year with
q wheat supply which gave us only
2O,OOO0O0 bushels available for ex-
port. When the crop year ended, we
had sent 141, 100000 bushels of wheat
to Europe. The American people had
saved out of their normal consumption
121, 100000 bushels.
A survey of export figures shows
that the conservation of flour brought
about by the wheatless meals, wheat
less days, substitution in our kitchens
and bakeries, enabled us to send to
our armies and the allies 100000
barrels of white fOur-wheat figured
as flour. Had we exported only our
visible surplus. we would have been
able to ship less than +:@.0 900 barrels.

SCOUTS GUARD FLYING FIELD

Eight boy scouts of Dayton, O., are
in war service for sure. Taking the
place Of men, they are employed as
guards at McCook aviation field.
They are mighty proud lot, for they
are being treated just like enlisted
men.
The scouts spend the nights at Camp
Pershing, and an army truck hauls
them to the field. McCook is some
thing more than a flying field. 1t is a
laboratory of aviation where new ap-
planes and devices for airplanes are
tested. Practically everything within
the high-bOard walls which surround
the field must be closely guarded as a
secret. Identification Of every en-
ployee as he passes the gates is thor
Ough.
A scout accompanies every other per-
son, and sees to it that he goes straight
to the place where his business carries
him and that he leaves the field imme-
diately after his task is finished. The
scout is on a sharp lookout for cam
eras and reports any incident out Of
the ordinary routine.
The military commander of the post
at McCook field reports as excellent
the conduct and behavior of the scouts
on duty there. The authorities have
now asked for two patrols of boy
scouts as messengers to be used at the
field.

Immense Indian Food Dishes.

The largest food dishes in the world
were recently bought of the Indians
OF Vancouver Island, British Column
b1a, for the museum of the American
Indian, New York city. These dishes
were purchased from a tribe named
Kwakiutls, which in English means
Smoke of the World" They are used
for special festivals when great num-
bers of Indians gather to celebrate
some religious or ritual festival. The
dishes are carved out of wood and
soups are brought to a boiling point
by dropping hot stones into the food
The carvings represent the clan to
which the dish belongs, which in one
instance is the "Wolf' and in another
the eagle" clan.

Learn to Be 4 Listener.

The man with brains in mis- head is
q good listener even if he doesn't
know what men are talking about. It's
pleasure to listen when you're inter
ested. The next best thing is to act
as though you were. That does not
mean that you are to act the hypo-
crite. 1t means that you are to put
yourself at attention and the chances
are that you will become interested.
You just must learn to get interested
In what concerns the world. Disregard
what interests others and thereby you
make confession that does not count
to your credit. So even if you can't
confess the most lively interest, find
out what there is about the thing that
interests others and the result may he

fairly good COOK IS worth more than
four sick carpenters"
To many boy the first experience
in cooking comes through his prepare
ton for the second-class cooking test.
He may have roasted corn on a stick
or steamed a few clans in a bucket
or burned few spuds in an open fire.
But the scout cooking test, if prop
erly emphasized, will help him to see
that cooking is vitality related to hui
man life and essential to human hap
piness and efficiency
Even in SO simple meal as the
quarter of pound Of meat and two
potatoes of the scout test many mis-
takes may be made, and the scout
should know how to avoid all of them.
Many professional cook fails ut
terly when asked to prepare a meal in
the open without the kitchen equip
ment to which he has become accus-
toned. The scout must be ready to
meet all emergencies.

dairy cows, since they act as a tonic
upon the animals as we'll as q food,
and increase the flow of milk. Pulp
is either used fresh or dried. It is
dried artifcially, either by itself or in
combination with molasses. The OBJ
ject in drying the pulp is to make it
easier to handle. About 80 per cent
of the weight is lost in drying. The
dried pulp should be soaked for sew
eral hours before it Is fed to stock.
Helps Milk Flow.
Animals cannot be finished for the
market on the beet by-products alone,
and unless other feed is available it
will not be advisable to purchase ami
mails for feeding purposes with view
to turning them on the market later.
If the farmer is provided with dairy
cows, it Is advisable to furnish them
with one or two feeds of tops or pulp
each day. The tops, when cured or
pitted, will keep for several months !;
the pulp, when left in large pile,
will not spoil for feeding purposes, ex-
cept thin layer on the surface. II
the tops or the pulp are fed heavily
to dairy cows, distinct increase In
the flow of milk marks the top and
pulp-feeding period, and there will
generally be distinct falling off in
the flow Of milk when this feed is dis
continued. If the supply of tops and
pulp is limited, it Is better to con-
tinue the feeding over longer period,
giving smaller amount to each of the
animals daily.

SCOUT REWARD THANK YOU.'

A typical story of the spirit Of the
boy scouts was told by a Memphis man.
One night when 1t stormed he was
driving home in his car at high speed,
and his hat blew off. The hat was res
cued and handed to the man by boy.
Hastily the hat owner dropped some
coins in the boys hand and started
his car He was stopped by the boy,
who returned the money and said:
"Thank you just the same, sir, but
I'm a boy scout"

tramp11ng In That condition and many
Of the tops would be wasted by being
trampled into the ground. While live
stock thrives on beet tops and pulp,
other feed must be used in finishing
the animals for the market. Beet
tops, especially the crowns, contain
considerable mineral matter, which is
beneficial to live stock, but it should
not be fed in too large quantities.
Aside from pasturing the tops, they
are sometimes allowed to cure partly
and are then gathered into piles,
hauled to the feed yard and fed in
racks. This is much more economi-
cal method than pasturing, but it in
wolves the additional expense of gath
ering and hauling. The tops may also
be used as ensilage. When chopped
with straw, cornstalks or other rough
age excellent silage is produced. Both
the tops and the pulp are excellent for

Good Feed for Stock.

Sugar-beet tops and pulp are good
feed for many kinds of live stock in
Guiding chickens, hogs, sheep, cattle,
and, to some extent, horses. Gener-
ally, the tops and pulp are fed to
sheep and cattle. They may be pas
tured off, process which consists in
turning the live stock into the beet
field after the beets have been har-
vested and the roots removed. The
tops are left scattered over the
ground, and this method of feeding
results in the ground being more or
less trampled. Sheep especially are In
clined to travel more generally In
paths, thereby trampling the ground
unevenly. In no case should the pas
turing Of the tops be permitted when
the ground is wet, since the ground
itself would be seriously injured BY

ment of Agriculture.)
Sugar-beet growers should utilize
more live stock. The stock utilizes
by-products Of sugar-beet growing
the tops and pulp-and increases the
growers profits, but there is another
reason-the nation needs more meat
as well as sugar. The combination of
stock raising and sugar-beet growing,
while beneficial to farmers will also
benefit the nation. Live stock on the
sugar-beet farm constitutes an impor-
tant factor in success Of beet grow
ing from two standpoints: O The
utilization Of beet tops and pulp to
the best advantage, and (2) the pro-
duction Of stable or barnyard manure,
which can be used to enrich the soil.
The feeding operations should be To-
Gated on the farms where the best
tops are produced. When practicable,
the pulp should be handled with frame
and fed There should be available
labor for handling the stock, and 9TH
er feeding stuffs used in combination
with the pulp and tops should be OBJ
tainahle.

1t is significant of the high

their desire to give their best,
even to country audience, and
of their friends to help them,
that they brought the Knudsen

Ice and Soda For Kapaa

Progressive Kapaa is to have
an up-tO-date power soda works
and ice plant. A cOmmodiOus
building has been erected with
concrete floor throughout, and
the necessary machinery is now
being installed. The ice ma
chimes will be of the Remington
make with Il capacity of a ton and
a half a day. The Kapaa water
is noted as uneXcelled on the Is
land, so they promise to supply
the very best of arctic ice, real
blue ice with no snow about it.
The Taketani brothers are re
ported to be the main promoters
of the enterprise, but the stock is
largely held all over the Island,
especially by store keepers who
will naturally be interested ev-
evry way to boom the product.
They expect to begin manufac-
ture about the first of August
a very timely season for ice and
soda.

All off Again

OF the changes and uncertain
ties of the Waiakea contract there
seems to be no end. Over and
over we have been told "a salts.
factory settlement has been ar
rived at" and we have breathed
a sigh of relief and closed the
matter up in our minds, only to
learn from the next paper that
the settlement was all off.
Now again the arrangement by
which Waiakea mill was to take
care of the 1920 crop, and pay the
homesteaders a net five per cent
of the sugar value, is all off. Some
of the hOmesteaders think they
can do better, and once more ev'
erything is in the air. Pretty
soon we wont believe anything

Adventurous Outing
on Napali Coast

An enterprising outing party
has just returned from a very
strenuous and, adventurous trip
to Kalalau. The party consisted
of Mr.. and Mrs. f. f. Wood, Mr..
Chas. II. Wilcox, Lee Waterhouse,
Patty and Eliza Waterhouse, and
Geo. Kaeo, the guide and his son.
They made the trip over from
Haena, by way of the old dis
mantled trail, in five hours of ac-
tual travelling, through the most
thrilling and exciting experien-
ces, such as none of them had ever
known before and probably never
will again.
They camped under the cliff,
on the sand beach at the far side
of the valley, and remained there
Saturday and Sunday and return
ell to Lihue Monday.
While there they received an
unexpected visit from the Mott
Smith party in yacht. They
had been up the coast after sup
plies, and learning that this par
ty was at Kalalau, they dropped
in on them out of the open sea,
and through a barricade of foam
ing breakers, that did credit to
wonderful seaman-ship. When
they landed on the beach they
proved to be a veritable band of
Robinson CrusOes, stalwart,
bronzed and bearded, as though
they had been in the wilderness
for a decade.
They report plenty of fish and
goats, and no end of a good time.
And the Kalalau party confirm
the same as far as they were con-
cerned. 1t was an experience
never to be forgotten.

Lihue School Site Assured

AT length, after long strung
out delay, the exchange securing
IL suitable site for the Lihue pub
lie school is being cOnsummated.
The Land Board has approved
the exchange which gives the so
called trash field together with the
present school site some IA acres
in all to the government in return
1915 acres of cane land in Wal
lua-kai.
AS this school site is of the ma
ture of Town Lots, this is a fair
exchange in which the govern
ment gets much better value than
would appear on the face.
We trust that now there will
be no farther difficulty or delay
and that actual construction will
proceed as soon as possible.
