MESSAGE TO THE scours

How many boy scouts have looked
up the meaning Of the word ''scoutr
Probably but few know that hidden
meaning IL the one most appropriate
to the organisation.
The word IL not newly coined one.
In the old French, It was 'esconter or
escolter" and WINS used only In the
military sense Of the spy.
The Portuguese, Spanish and ITALIAN
forms are somewhat similar to the old
French, both In form and meaning, but
the Latin "auscultare,.. 10 used In tho
broader sense-.to hear With atten-
ton, to listen e"
In present-day English, the military
meaning ITO reconnoiter" 10 that most
often applied, yet the broader mean

Latin Ia the one underlying the con

Meats in Storage &C.

Every working day Of the year
$4,000, 600 pounds of meat are required
to supply home and export needs-and
only 10 per cent Of this Is exported.
These facts must be kept In mind
when considering the y. S. Bureau Of
Markets report that on June !, 1919,
there were l,34s. o0o. 600 pounds Of
meats in cold storage. IF the meat IN
storage was placed on the market ii
would only be 20 days supply.
This meat is not arti6cially withheld
from trade channels to maintain or
advance prices.
Meats IN storage consist Of
IS Per cent (approxirnate) hams, .baeuu, stc.,

days in pickle o. salt to eomplsts the

TODAY,s BIT OF VERSE
WHAT is LIFE,

I asked the busy crowds OF life
Who strove for fame with frenzied strife:
WHATS life2" Then said voice forlorn:
"A golden dream midst phantoms born"
asked the gay and thoughtless crowd
Who round the shrine OF folly bowed
With thoughtless aid they sang this lay:
Life is the pleasures of today
asked the lonely orphan child
Whose grief-worn features rarely smiled
Life is the bud OF griefs and fears. .
It's blossoms drink the orwhans tears.
i asked the meekeyed blushing morn,
With rosy light and freshness born
Life is a morn, tho fair and clear
Ere night dark clouds and storm appear.
asked the sparkling orbs that light
The sable curtains of the night.
Life is gem of midnight skies,
Whose twinkIing in the morning dies"
asked the vast, expansive flood,
AS On the oceans shore I stood.
In accents wild the pillows told,
AS on the mighty main they rolled
Life IS fragile bark that moves,
a shattered wreck, that vainly proves
Upon multitude OF waves
Its skill to shUn the watery graves"
asked tie monster Death AT last,
WHO millions n the grave has cast,
with yisaEe pale and dark he said:
Life is the victim OF nv dread"

MAKING coNTENTED FARMERS.

On this page Of The Gate City OF Monday was
printed an argument to prove that food is not
likely to be cheaper in the near future and that
its cost will rise rather than decline unless the
farming industry of the nation keeps It's
stride and betters IT. neither OF which it IS des-
tined TO do under present conditions The
greatest need of this whole people-lndeed OF
all the peoples of the worlds contented farm
ers. How 10 have a nation fully supplied with
contented farmers 10 grow its foodf How TO have
a farming industry so attractive to brains and
Drawn that it will keep pace with growth of
population and of general industrial lief The
social expert finds an easy answer. Make the
conditions of q farmers life equally satisfac-
tory with those of any other life ne might lead
and it makes for contantment This in turn is
translated by the economist into the need OF
better prices for the farmers goods so that the
returns from his capital and labor VIII enable
him to make conditions what he wants them.
But somewhere in most Of the discussion of
this deeply important question significant
fact is lost 1t will not help the farmer to raise
prices for his products if the prices for all pro
ducts rise at the same time. 1t will not help to
raise the wages of his labor if all wages rise at
the same time. For the trouble is the relative
profit Of wage Garner and industrial worker
. and capitalist If everything goes up in cost,
the farmer viii have more money but will have
to spend more; be will, III the language of Mr..
Dooley, be a. at the same rilitive disthance firm
a tenderloin stheak' If the farmer is at the
bottom of the heap and the heap is lifted, he is
still at the bottom. Food prices go up: it costs
more to live; wages are raised; all products cost
more; the farmer gets more for his crops but
pays much more for tools, feeds, potash all the
sundry things he must have. We must keep
! wages up because food costs are high The
! farmer must have high prices because on ac-
count OF labor costs everything costs him more
i This is the sort of seasaw we are examining to
see if it will elevate the farmers life and living
) to contentment. How can it7
What is necessary is that the farmer should
