Chicago and the five states com
prising the Seventh District, Michigan
Indiana, Wisconsin and Illinois have

In announcing the Boy Scout week
Mr.. McAdoo said in part: The fu-
ture Of the Nation depends, of course,
upon its youth. The fathers and moth
ers of American boys will be grayely
derelict in parental duty and in Ma
tional obligation it they fail to give
their hearty support, moral and finan-
cial, to this great American Boy Scout
movement. Not only is every Boy
Scout given useful knowledge and
training which equips him better for
the battle Of life itself, but there are
inculcated in him the duties, obliga-
tions, ideals and higher conceptions Of
American citizenship. Each year the
Boy Scout movement is turning out
thousands of better boys and creating
the finest types of future American pa
frlots. No cause should appeal more
strongly to the mothers and fathers Of
America than the Boy Scout cause The
Boy Scouts raised several hundred mil
lion dollars in the Liberty Loan ard
War Savings Stamps campaigns. They
did splendid work for the Red Cross
in its several National campaign They
served the Government in many other
effective ways during the great world
war. It is an organization of gallant
patriots and deserves the encourage
ment and support of the Nation =
This new President of Mexico has
declared that he is going to protect
every one. The real test Of his ability
will be his protecting himself against
the counter revolutions. This win pro-
badly keep him so busy that he will not
have lot of time to look after foreign
