1t should be no disparagement to
teh other Undertaking firms in Kan

have really set pace for the others
to follow for no firm in the entire

Adkins Brothers, is a we'll built two
story brick structure land very spac-
ious.
The lower floor and basement will
be devoted entirely for a Funeral
Home while the second floor Will
be redecorated and equipped for first
class lodge rooms.
The decorations are carried out in
the minutest detail in ivory and gold
from the beautiful Circassian fringed
window curtains made especially for
this Home to the most exquisite De
Luxe chandeliers the like of which
have not been sold in Kansas City.
In interviewing the members of this
splendid firm who are Messrs. Char
les H. and R. v. Adkins, they had
this to say: "We felt that as a pro
gressive Undertaking firm, We should
show the rapid progress which we
have made by purchasing a building
and equipping and furnishing same
that no persons, great or small would
have any hesitancy in visiting our es
tablishment and at the same time
feel that it was a credit to racial de
velopment."
There is one commendable feature
about this unsurpassed funeral home
and that is the long continuous Chape
room where any number OF persons
who would care to attend a funera
may be accommodated. Richly dec

block, nearly half OF which is in a

Look alive scouts! There will be
big things doing in scouting this fall
All you woodsy scouts get busy now
and sew the pack straps on tight,
see that the hiking shoes are in good
trim, shake out your wool shirts and
see that camping gear is all in shape.
If you haven't wool blankets of
your own that are right for fall out

to buy them for you, but find
some way to earn extra money at odd
times and get your own blankets
before the winter is over you'll find
that dad is using his money to buy
his own blankets and will be want
ing to "tote" n pack right along

Brush up on your testsIget your
rope work going again, get n length
of cotton rope, sash cord is good,
work it down, soft whip the ends
and take care of it-practice using it,
patrols should practice guard rope
stunts and each scout should take
pride in having his guard rope al
ways in good shape.
How about your good turns? Put
that extra knot in your tie each
morning, and keep 1t there until you
have found an opportunity to do that
good turn.
