good cause. Not yet long enough re-

nevertheless. SaviOrs of their coun-

And there is a still newer generation
OF veterans coming upon the great
world stage. These have not been to
war. They may never go to war. And
because Of them-ln part at least
the world itself may never know wal
again.
These newer veterans are the young
fellows who have been five years In
the boy scout movement. They are
first-class scouts. They have taken
upon themselves the scout obligations
for life. They have registered with
local scout authorities for service t.
the community in any emergency.
Scouting principles imbedded In q

A SCOUT PARADISE.

I know of q wonderful spot for . camp
on the edge of q shimmering shore,
And q lake that's as blue a. the skies
over you, and as sweet a. the wind
at your door.
There the red-winged black-bird, calls to
his mates to battle in the pickerel
pond;
And the banks overflow with the blessings
that grow at the touch Of Fair Ma
lures wand.
There the soft breexes whisper the secrets
of rest while away on the big lake
we row:
And the swimming, 10 fine In the summer
sunshine, and at evening the camp
Gre aglow.
There's q jolly old lodge with jolly old
crane a-swing in the old fireplace.
And q jolly old chef with jolly old smile
on the front Of his jolly old face.
There we pitch our tents with speed
that's immense and we smooth out
our hunks with delight:
In the blankets we crawl and somewhere
We fall. to the tune Of the sweet
sounds Of night.
Why not Join In our song a. we ramble
along. and gather your troop on the
way:
You win hit up scouts pace when you
get near the place. and be ready fos
work or for play.
