Swiss Voted For League

The little Swiss Republic in the Alps
mountains where every man is a sol
der and stood guard for four years
with a rifle while all surrounding ma
tons were at war was the first people
to vote on the issue of joining the
League of Nations. The vote last
Saturday was about 414,600 for join
ing the League and 920,880 against.
The majority was 1920. Similar
voting in the United States would give
two million majority. ,
The Swiss nation is composed OF
French, German and Italian people,
and their mixed descendants. The
German speaking people gave a ma
.jority against joining the League. 1t
is the pro-German element IN the
United States and Irish hyphens who
are fighting the League. Study al
liances, political and religious issues
and you will surmise the unseen in
fuences back of the voting.

What Scouting Is

The Boy Scout movement is now
much more than a movement. 1t is a
great moral force that is steadily
at work in every State in the Union
to say nothing of the growth in other
lands. All persons must realize that
fact.
For 10 years the idea has been gain
ing ground until now there are Owe
379, 900 Boy Scouts, $4,000 clean men
serving as scoutmasters, and nearly
SO, 900 other men acting as troop coun-
cilmen and committeeman.
Scouting" the tenth annual report
SAYS, sis the process of making men
out of real boys by a real program,
which works. 1t is outdoor life, and
so health, strength happiness and
practical education"
By it and through it character is
developed, boys are helped, and good
citizenship is insured. The boy that
follows the scouts can't go far wrong
The natural gang spirit of the boy
is cultivated under proper restraint
And the Boy Scout movement is SO
broad that it is made up of all classes
and all creeds, a certain, positive, &C
tive force for good.
