SCOUTS A FAITH RESTORATIVE.

So common is the sight of the scout
uniform, so far-reaching is the scout
service, and so deep is its impression
on the American Imagination, that it is
hard to think that scouts have not al

There are times when all of US des-
pair of the future Of the a so ram
pant seems evil, so triumphant and ar
rogant SEEM vice and selfishness. We
know nothing that can sc swiftly re-
store faith for humanity as the sight
of a troop Of uniformed scouts.
Give the scout movement its right
full chance and when Americas pres
ent boyhood becomes Americas man.
hood, a bond of comradeship, a bond
of brotherhood, shall have been forged
which 10 will be impossible to break.
Then we shall have the brotherhood
of man, then we shall have true Amer

many young men Of the district
and the class has experienced . phe-
nominal growth since its orGaniz-
alton last November. At that time,
its membership numbered six,
which has doubled. trebled, multi
piled until at present the member
ship roll is 81. This campaign for
members has not been slackened
because OF this growth but rather
the class has set 200 as the goal to
be reached within the next two
months.
Interest in church work is not
forgotten in the multifarious activ-
tiles OF the class. Since the first OF
the year, i've members have united
with the church and all of the af-
fairs of the class are conducted
only as incidental to the real pur-
pose of the class in the life of the
congregation. A banquet of the
members of the class has beer
planned to be given at the Y. w
G. A. in the near future.
Credit to Fisher.

wonderful growth of the organiza
ton to the untiring effort of theil
teacher, E. c. Fisher. Every Sun

The 1920 Family Budget

First comes the rent-32 per
cent;
Your groceries are 20;
Your clothing bill is small but
still
It's 6 per cent-that's plenty
Insurance 4, cigars 2 more,
Amusements come to 7:
A tire, Is; IL, gasoline;
That's 98-Great Heaven!
1t costs you 2 to have the flu,
And that all went for dope :;
You owe the nurse, and what
is worse,
The doc, too, lives in hope.
The butcher looks upon his
books
And forthwith mails a dun;
The drygoods man your bill
doth scan,
And so on, one by one.
Your wages spent-the last
red cent,
In debt, and there you are,
Man tolls and slaves but never
saves;
He just must keep a car.

Address Your
Letters Correctly

The Boston Post Office with
the cooperation of the Chamber
of Commerce has introduced a
numeral system Of addressing
mail intended for delivery in
the Boston Postal District. This
system is arousing considerable
interest throughout the coun-
try.
All that is required is simply
the addition of the postal stat
ion number to the name of the
office. This number can be OBJ
tanned from correspondents
whose mail is delivered thru
the Boston Post Office or any of
the seventy-four delivery sta
tions and branches.
The numeral plan will be
an important factor in elimi-
mating multiple landings and
consequent delays to mail that
at the present time occur thru
failure of correspondents to
furnish complete addresses.
The plan does not provide
for the discontinuance of the
name of any local station or
branch, or change in the form
of the address in any other
manner. 1t simply involves
the addition of the number to
the address, thus:
Mr.. John Doe,
5 Blank Street,
Boston 9, Mass,
Readers of this paper will
secure earlier deliveries Of
their mail if they will immedi-
ately ascer ain from their Bos-
ton correspondents their cor
rect numeral and include it in
the address, in the manner
suggested above.
Firms and individuals may
submit a copy of their Boston
mailing list to the Postmaster
