Ing interesting statement:
Scouting Is worth while. II makes
real boys and then turns them into
real men. A good scout makes a good
American. A good American makes
a good citizen, and good American citi-
zens make the first nation In the
world.
Scouting Is good fun, but II is a
lot more than that. IT Is the best
kind of preparation for whateve. life
Is to bring In the days ahead. A
good scout is seldom or never caught
unprepared, and man who has grown
up out of a. boy scout is always ready
to meet the present and the future
with head up. eyes 'front.' and shoul.

There is lot more in the United
States than can be seen frol ' street
car. II Is the land, and the boys and
men, girls and women who know the
land. who make the strength of this
and any other country. Not the least
valuable thing about scouting Is that
1t teaches the city boy to know the
country, and the country boy to know
the country better than he otherwise
would.
THE forest Is not only the mother
OF the fountain. but the mother of men
as well. Our ancestors lived in the
forest. We live upon It. Wood is

"An understanding of the forest and

LEGION MEN HIT BY RULING
National Judge Advocate Decides or.
aanixation officer Ineligible u
Holding Public Office.

A decision OF far-reaching lmpor-
lance as affecting the participation in
politics of men holding office In the
American Legion has just been hand.
ed down by Robert A. Adams, ma
tlonal judge advocate Of the Legion, In
response to an inquiry from the Inter
Post Council Of Los Angeles, Cal.
Al its annual election held in De
cember Los Angeles post elected
Claiming Toilette rs commander for
1921. \ short time afterwards Fol
lette was appointed justice of the
peace by the board of supervisors of
Los Angeles county.
The question arose whether, In view
Of the fact that Toilette had been ap-
pointed to an Office which, In its ma
ture, except In the matter of filling
vacancies, is an elective, salarled pub
lie Office, he was eligible to serve as
an officer Of the Legion.
In his official ruling, the national
judge advocate says:
This being a salaried elective pub
lie Office, It is my opinion that the
method Of filling vacancy is not es.
sentlal In determining the eligibility
OF Legionaire holding such Office.
The office Is elective, although the case
with which we deal Is that Of an ap.
pointment.
THE purpose of the constitutional
provision is. of course, to prevent, so
far as possible, the use by a member
of the Legion Of his Legion member
ship In furthering a political career.
Consequently, the effect of an APP
polntment is In no wise dlssimilar
from an election, and 1t is my opinion
that the incumbent is, by the accept
ance Of his Office, rendered ineligible
for the office of the American Legion
