We asked some questions about this 15-year-old lad who had
slipped. We found he had a gang and that it was the wrong sort of
gang. He had been training with the wrong sort of gang for some
time, against warnings of the elder brother.
Suppose this lad had come under the influence Of the Boy Scout
organizationl
physically strong, mentally awake, morally straight"
Had the lad been working n year under the daily influence Of
that clean cut code would.he have yielded to the temptation to steal
a few dollars3
You know the answer.
There is nothing truer than the warning Of MaeLean Wilson,
Boy Scout worker here last week, who said that il is the little slips
lat the time when the boy mind is forming, that mould the
thieves, the crooks and the gun men of manhood and equally it is
the influence of physical strength, mental alertness and moral clean
illness that make builders and big citizens in young manhood,
There is something big to this Boy Scout idea. 1t is something
worth taking hold Of and using for the benefit OF our boys and our
community. 1t is a something that prevents slips for boys, grief for
fathers and older brothers and heartbreak for mothers.
1t doesn't cost mueh either.

You quote what the governor said
some time & In de~nunciation OF a
direct primary law. In which ,he was
absolutely right, and you also quote
a recent statement of his In favor Of
having "a primary election law"
which you understand To mean q law

finally elected. But he does not
say that. The direct primary" In

WV tom OF a column in this morning. journal;
Fs Governor Larrazolo arrived i'm Albuquerque yester-
Y day afternoon and last night attended a conference with
friends of his political fortunes. The conference was of a
private nature and no announcements were made last night. y
There were between 100 and 1875 people present at this "cOnfer.
enee' which was of a private nature. y II was held in Jefferson hall,
119 North Third sreet-upstairs. Ii was worked up by the LARA

"The commercial automobile be-

ell of the Capital Motors Corporation,
dealers in Chevrolet passenger and
commercial cars
There was time when people
thought they were getting along fair
ly well without telephones. And the
average business man may think he
is getting along fairly well without
commercial cars in his business.
yet the commercial car has been
proven indispensable to the progress
sive business man. He should use it
just as he does every other modern
efficiency measure.
Some men never realize how much
they need one until it begins to in
crease their business and then they
wonder why they did not see it's use
fulness before.

and maintains quick. economical and
convenient service between all points
wherein the owners interests lie.

"The lack of a commercial car
handicaps him in the conduct of his
business. The possession of one
marks him as thoroughly alive and
up-to-date in the eyes of other bust
mes men as well as his customers.

lished utility. It's usefulness and the
need for it is increasing The sppre-

HARNESSEO CREEK WORKS FOR
FARMER
From Farm Bureau News


Harvesting the farm creek to gen.
crate electric light and power. is
what D. J. Kalanquin, living south
of Everett. has accomplished.
There are hundreds of farmers
in Washington who could have cheap
electrical power and lights il they
would only take advantage of nat
ural resources that lie at their very
DOORS" says Ruth Kennedy, county
home demonstration agent, who has
made recent survey of home con-
veniences. "Mr. Kallaquin has done
this very thing. There is a small
creek running across the barnyard
which he uses to drive a generator.
The water is collected in a dam
which give fall of 16 feet. 1t is
then carried a distance of 200 feet
in wooden flume and pours over a
water wheel.
'The wheel is IL feet in diameter
fastened directly to a belt pulley 8
feet in diameter. This wheel is
again belted to pulley 16 inches in
diameter attached to a shaft. The
same shaft carries wheel feet in
diameter, and from this wheel belt
runs to the generator. The water
wheel making ~ revolutions per
minute, drives the generator at a
speed of 1900 revolutions per min
ute.
'The equipment furnishes current
for 16 lamps and power to operate a
washing machine and wringer. The
entire plant is homemade affair,
with the exception of the generator,
and cost $50. aside from the labor.
Whenever light or power is wanted,
gate is opened in the flume and the
wheel starts turning"

Status Of NOn.Member of County
Farm Bureau.

What distinction. if any, should
be made by the farm bureau and the
county agent between the member
and nOn-member of the bureau? The
logical answer and the policy gen
orally recognized is this: The farm
bureau member is entitled to both
the services of the county agent, for
whose support he is taxed, and to
the privileges of the organization for
whose work he voluntarily contrib
utes. Since the Farm Bureau is the
body with which the state and fed
eral government regularly cooperate,
the member also has a voice in the
county agents activities. The nom
member is entitled only to county
agent service.
To illustrate. the county agent Of
fers information, counsel, and such
educational assistance as he can thru
demonstrations, group meetings, and
personal conferences, to all persons
interested. He is not expected to
handle money. and while sympathetic,
he is not officially concerned with the
cooperative purchases, sales, and

other economic activities of the farm
bureau. II the non-member wishes to
take advantage of these he must join
the farm bureau. Otherwise his boast
is made good-that he gets as much
out of the farm bureau as if he be-
longed. Since some farm bureau men,
bers highly value the opportunity to
profit thru cooperative purchases and
sales, even the man with only selfish
motives would seem to have excellent
reason for joining his county farm
bureau.
