Boy Scout
W eek
Local Scouts Will Take Ac-
tive Part in National Mem
bership Drive.

Local Boy Scouts are expect
ing TO take an active part in the
Boy Scout Week, TO be observed
throughout the United States
June $ to ii, for the purpose Of
strengthening the work of the
Boy Scouts of America. 1t is
the intention at National head
quarters 10 secure a million new
associated members throughout
the country in this big drive.
In recognition of the services
of the Boy Scouts of tile country
during tho war, President VIII
son has issued a proclamation III
which he recommends that the
period from June S to If be ob-
served as Boy Scout Week
throughout The country. This
proclamation reads in part rs
follows.
Tile Boy Scouts of America
have rendered notable service to
the Nation during the world
war. They have done effective
work in the Liberty Loan and
War Savings campaigns, in dis.
covering and reporting upon the
black walnut supply, in cooper
ating with the Red Cross and
other war work agencies, in act
ing as dispatch bearers for the
Committee on Public Informa-
ton, and in other important
fields. The Boy Scouts have not
only demonstrated their worth to
the Nation, but have also ma
terially contributed TO deeper
appreciation by the American
people OF the higher conception
of patriotism and good citizen
ship.
"The Boy Scout movement
should not only be reserved, but
strengthened. 1t deserves the
support Of all public spirited
citizens. The available means
for the Boy Scout movement
have thus far sufliced for the or
ganization and training OF only a
small proportion of the boys of
the country. There are approx
imately 100000 boys in the
United States between the ages
of twelve and twenty-one. OF
these only 375,0 are enrolled
as members of the Boy Scouts
of America.
"America cannot acquit her
self commensurately with her
power and influence in the great
period now facing her and the
world unless the boys of Amer
lea are given better opportuni-
ties than heretofore to prepare
themselves for the responsible
ties of citizenship.
"Every nation depends for its
future upon the training and de-
velopment of its youth. The
American boy must have the

to exelaim in Greek, "Give me BASIN
an expression of disgust quoted from
Aristophanes.
The one striking feature of this inter-
esting volume of commentaries on Ameri-
can history is the authors emphatic ad-
miration of the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence. According to Cecil Chesterton, if
the American nation as a whole ever
ceases to believe in the great dogmas en-
bodied therein by Thomas jefferson, it
will not merely lose touch with eternal
truths, but it will suddenly drop deadl
w.
Briefly the theses are two: Firstly,
that men are of right equal, and Sec
ondly, that the moral basis of the rela-
tons between governors and governed is
contractual." In asserting that the moral
sanction of government is eontractual all
that is meant is that government derives
its just powers from the consent of the
governed" or, in other words, is depen-
dent upon the supremacy of the general
will. The people may exercise their will
wrongfully ometimes-wherever there is
power there is liability to its abuse or
wrongful exercise-but as the Jesuit Sau-
req asked: "1f sovereignty is not in the
people, where is itf' .
The best government will be secured
when the people choose their wisest and
ablest men to conduct it; but the choice
must ultimately rest with the people. In
brief, there can be no temporal authority
on earth consistent with freedom, which
is superior to the general will of the
community which constitutes a state. 1t
is to our perception of this principle and
adherence to it that Cecil Chesterton at
tributes such greatness as the American
people have thus far achieved.
When Cecil Chesterton abandoned So
cialism he substituted for it in his own
mind a doctrine which his brother calls
Observation-Disclosures theory that private
property is proper to every private citi-
zen. Every reader of this book will wish
that the author could have lived to ex-
pound that theory further. Its extension
and acceptance would do more than any,
thing else in the world to overcome the
menace of Bclshevism. Cecil Chesterton
had learned to hate "inhuman humani-
tarianism," and when he laid down his
life for his country "amid the wasted
fields of France and Flanders" the world
was deprived of an apostle of liberty
whom it could i'll afford to lose.

PRIVATE SLEUTHS CAN'T
SERVE STRIKE PARTIES

ATLANTA, June IA firm of
Atlanta detectives employed by one
of the telegraph companies to furnish
plain-clothes men to protect the no.
striking operators against union pick
cts has been ordered by the board of
police commissioners to sever their
connection with the wire company or
forfeit their license to do business as
a private detective agency,
Some years ago as the result of a
demand by the labor organizations
the police commissioners passed a
rule forbidding private detective
agencies to employ themselves to en-
ployers or employees during labor diff
ficulties. The rule has practically
been a dead letter since that time as
there has been no occasion to enforce
it, but the local labor unions called
attention to it, and insisted upon its
enforcement, when the agency in
question was employed in the tele-
graph strike.

out rapidly, although he had very
large supply. He was pleased with The
money realized on the over ripe which
could not be sent to market further
away. These were still good for home
consumption and Cordele buyers kept
him busy. 1t was quite an attraction,
for this is a territory where peaches

patient in Ruth Roland, star of the

which appears in the Times-Recorder
every Friday and is being shown at

Miss Roland has suffered from this
habit for ears and her aunt who
lives with her in the stark Los An
geles home, says that Ruth is liable
to go prowling about the house at
any hour of the night. Miss Roland
herself says that her sleep walking
is generally superinduced by worry
as to whether or not someone has
stolen her jewelry and she is thinking
of installing good burglar alarp
system. She believes that the knowl-
edge that this system is in the house
will cause her to stop walking IN her
sleep.

I7-YEAR LOCUSTS BAD FOR
LITTLE CHICKENS FUNNY

WASHINGTON, June 12.-If the
so-called "seventeen-year locusts" or
cicades are plentiful in your locality,
and you are keeping chickens that
have a chance to run under the
trees where the locusts are numerous,
watch out for trouble, warns the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. 1t might well be supposed
that the numerous locusts would
provide feast for the chicks and
they do, but this feast is not unat-
tended with danger. Serious losses
may result from the chicks eating
too many of these insects. The wing
and leg parts of the locusts seem to
be quite indigestible, and are likely
to obstruct the outlet of the crop in
such way as to cause the chicks to
become crop-bound.
Little chicks are not troubled be-
cause they are too small to tear
apart and eat the locusts, but chicks
that are more than four weeks old
are large enough to devour the To-
gusts and have trouble as result.
The only feasible means of combat
ing this difficulty is to move \ the
chicks, if possible, to fields where
there are few trees and where the
Iocusts in consequence do not gather
M numbers. Trouble also has been
reported from mature fowls eating
she locusts in great numbers, with
considerable mortality resulting

FOUR CARLOADS
OF SUMTER HOGS
SELL FOR $3.50

-Four carloads of Sumter county
hogs, which brought $3.50, were
sold at the farmers cooperative hog
sale at Plains yesterday. The buyer
was Armour & Co., Jacksonville
plant.
The lost consisted of 800 head,
which graded as follows: No. 1, sc (;
NO. 2, 1922; No. 8, 121. The price
paid was $1765 for No. l stock,
which was only $3.50 per 100 pounds
under the Chicago price. The same
hogs would probably not have
brought as much delivered in Chi
eago as they commanded here on the
same day, not being guaranteed hard
meat stock. The cost of transpor-
tation and feeding en- route would
have had to be, deducted in addi-
ton.
1.-THE market was just bit off
what it was at the time of the last
previous SALE" said George O. Mar
shall, county farm agent who had
charge Of the sale, "and consequent
ly the price realized was not quite
as high as at that time. However,
the sale was very satisfactory, ev-
erything considered, and the farm
ers were enabled by it to obtain
better price for their stock than they
would otherwise have secured.
I'VE are already planning another
summer hog sale, which will take
place at Plains July 8. A number
of farmers expect to have stock ready
for market by that date.
