THINKING.

If you think you are beaten.yon are If you think you dare not, you don't If you'd like to win, but you think you can't. It's almost cinch you won't. If you think you'll lose. you're lost, For out of the world we find success begins with a fellows will, It's all in the state of mind.
 If you think you're outclassed, you are; You've got to think high to rise. You've got to besure of yourself be- fore you can ever win a prize.
 Life;S battles don't always go
 To the stronger or faster man;
 But soon or late the man who wins, Is the man who thinks he can.

BOY
SCOUTS
&
SCOUT PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

The war IL over. Peace Is here. Our
ninth anniversary finds scouting
stronger than ever. There are more
scouts, more leaders, more troops.
Again We look forward to q year in
the man-maklng out-of-doors.
The greatest need Of a nation Is for
men-not the mush-and-molly sort, but
the self-reliant, red-blooded man; the
nan who has lived In the open all
seasons Of the year. who likes the
Eest Of the winter winds and can en-
Joy the heat Of the blazing sun: the
man who loves the hikes and camps,
the open-air games and Self-cooked
meals. the stars, the trees. the birds,
and in fact every phase Of scouting.
as 1t brings him in touch with natures
wondrous revelation Of God.
The nation has need Of more such
men as that typical scout, cur great
former president, whose recent death
the nation mourns and now memo
rializeS, and whose greatness Of char
acter and achievement were largely
made possible by his active outdoor
life.
Let Is dedicate ourselves to q year
Of intensive outdoor scouting, such as
that great man lived, so that the life
Of our nAtion may be vitalized by more
men suth as he.
Several outstanding obligations rest
upon every scout. His life from day
to day should, FIRST Of all, be an un'
broken chain Of good turns and acts
that square with the scout chain and
law-each act as a link, each link SO
strong that the chain Of the scouts
life will hold whatever the strain OF
trial or burden. Furthermore, each
life should be centered in q body made
SO strong with rigorous contact with
the out-of-doors that illness and weak.
ening habits find no place in his life
and he will ultimately develop into q
robust, scoutlike, thorough-goinG
American citizen.

Now is the spring of our discomfort
arrived. when every good and ambi-
tiOus housekeeper turns her household
belongings upside down and Is i'm
mersed In cleaning, polishing. reno
waiting. replacing and repairing them.
The house must take on Its summer
dress and the more we care for 1t the
more agreeable the work becomes.
Floors. woodwork and furniture are
all to be washed and polished; to be-
gin the work with just soft water and
bland soap are the best Of all things.
One must have ready for the spring
house cleaning a good furniture pol
ish. Some Of those for sale in the
shops are not good for the finest pieces
OF furniture and 1t is safer to have a
polish mixed at home and perhaps
cheaper.
Homemade Furniture Polish.
To cleanse ones furniture with spe-
cial attention to renewing Its fresh
ness Is, sometimes, to save money
otherwise spent at a cabinet makers.
And for this work most excellent
polish for any hard wood Is one com
posed Of one-third each Of wood al
cohol, vinegar and olive oil. An eighth
Of the quantity of linseed oil added
will increase Its polishing capacities,
but this necessitates greater elbow
grease to prevent sickness of the
wood surface.
Powdered pumice and olive oil make
a splendid cleanser for mahogany. Es-
pecially with an old piece, the beauty
and depth Of color may be entirely
dimmed by dust and dirt that has COL
lected through the months. II not the
years.

HEIFERs DROP FIRST CALF
At Maryland College Thirty
Months 10 Best Age.

About thirty months was found to
be the best age for Ayrshire heifers
to drop their first calf, according to
an experiment carried on at the Mary
land Agricultural college. II the
calves were dropped six months ear
lier, the milk flow wns lessened con-
siderably, but If dropped six months
later the decrease was slight. This
will vary for the breeds according to
size; the smaller the breed type. the
shorter the time. Eckles of Minnesota
found that this variation would be
three to five months which would
bring the minimum age for Jerseys
and Guernseys about twenty-five
months and for Holsteins, thirty
months. This is for well-develOped
animals.

WESTERN
MINING AND OIL
NEWS

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Attention has been called to . recent
decision Of the Department of the In
terror by the Arizona State Bureau Of
mines in regard to an application re-
ceived by the department for patent of
a certain mining claim. This claim
was located on lands after these had
been withdrawn under the act Of June
25, 1910, as amended by the act Of Aug
"A, 1872. This amendment provides
that lands SO withdrawn shall at all
times be open to exploration, discov-
cry. occupation, and purchase under
the mining laws Of the United States,
SO FAR as the same apply to metallifer-
GUS minerals. A deposit Of uranium,
vanadium and radium occurred upon
the claim referred to. In the decision
OF the Interior Department 1t was held
that location on such deposits was pos
sible, but. in the nature OF things, such
deposits were not metalliferous miner
ais and as such could not be patented
in the face OF withdrawal. This deci-
sion was based upon the fact that 1t II
the salts Of uranium, vanadium and ra-
dunn that are mined and used IN 4
commercial way, and not the metals in
native state, and that they are sim
liar in nature to potash or aluminium
and are earthly, and therefore. are not
metals in the strictest sense. They are.
however, classed as non-metallic min
erals.
The geophone, invented during the
war to determine the exact location OF
sounds above and beneath the surface
