COW CLUBS FOR SCOUTS.

The United States department Of ag-
riculture is advocating boys COW
clubs, and this is appealing to large
numbers of Boy Scouts Of America in
different parts Of the country. There
are many calf clubs. for years the
banks having encouraged boys to raise
calves by lending money with which
to buy them. raise and sell them and
repay the bank. Dairy enthusiasts
believe that II Is even more sensible
to take care Of the calves after they
become cows, making the COW pay for
herself In from one to two years pro-
vided, Of course, there Is an available
market for the milk and cream which
she gives.
One Of the objects sought is to inter-
est the boy in dairying for profit, but
the dairy specialists think that 1t will
at the same time deepen the boys in
terest in other things. For instance,
the COW might become the basis Of q
boys arithmetic study.
Arithmetic Is not related to life In
the minds of most boys. Figures for
them are just figures, that's all. But
II multiplication means ten quarts Of
milk from the boys own COW at 10
cents quart, or four pounds Of cream
multiplied by 40 cents at the cream.

SCOUTS CAMP IN BALLROOM.

AS a boy scout enthusiast there are
few If any men who can beat John
NICE. Bowman, president Of the Com
modore and allied hotels in New
York. And he proved It by perhaps
the most gracious single act that has
ever been done for the organization.
Upon their return from Europe. he en-
tertained the entire Boy Scouts Of
America "jamboree" delegation Of 357
scouts and leaders as his personal
guests at the Commodore for the days
they stayed In New York while ar
ranging transportation to their homes
throughout the country.
The night they arrived they were
given a banquet by Mr.. Bowman, the
guests including relatives and friends
Of the scouts to the number of over
600. There the scouts got green corn
and pie la mode for the first time
since they sailed for Europe two
months before. While they were
Mr.. Bowman's guests the boys 'camped
out" in the grand ballroom, the iarg-
est hotel room in the world; they
slept on cots supplied by the army.
