fare of the community as to have him
grow up real man. This can be
accomplished in very marked degree
through the Boy Scout movement.
"The publicity given this movement
in the last few weeks has made you
familiar with the aims and purposes
of this organization. The enclosed
circular will be interesting to you
along that line
I'VE are not writing you a long let
ter as we know it is not necessary.
You are welcome to come to head
quarters and receive any additional
information you may desire.
Il wish you could see the enthusi-
asm with which the eight hundred
boys in Wausau of Scout age welcome
the formation of this council here.
You would not hesitate to fill out the
card for as large an
amount as possible and send your
check with it. The boys are keen to
know their friends and they thorough
ly appreciate what is being done in
their behalf
IF you desire to pay a subscription,
on a quarterly or semi-annual basis,
please so note on the card and send
your check accordingly"

The ugliness of the peacock's feet
is matter of remark in classic lit

it in fables. Which is illustrative of

are circulated and maintained. For
the fact is that the peacock's feet
are not ugly at all. They are rather
