The new plan whereby police re-

teresting and worthwhile result. On
certain evening large amount Of
police data and reports were relayed
10 the high power radio station of the
American Radio and Research cor

radius for the information of some
5000 amateur operators. Among the

had been stolen from Harvard square,

the listeners in" was q boy scout
named Barney. who wrote down the
details of the theft, for practice In re-

the street In his home town, the lad
noticed car standing deserted by the
roadside which was of the make Of
the stolen roadster. He made quick,
mental note of the number and ran
home to compare 1t with his radio
notes. The two tailed and he at
once telephoned the police and the
car was restored to Its owner.

TO PREVENT POTATO LOSSES
Serious Damage Results From Careless
Handling at Harvest Time
Avoid Breaking Skin.

/. Growers and shippers are response
BILE for much Of the loss that results
from shipping diseased potatoes, since
a large part of such losses can be con-
trolled, If not entirely prevented, In
the field, according to specialists of
the bureau Of markets of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Serious damage results from careless
handling when the potatoes are har-
vested. Too many persons, 1t Is said.
handle potatoes as though they were
so many cobblestones, rather than a
perishable product. Even the breaking
of the protective skin frequently
proves serious. Such injury not only
damages the appearance and neces-
states deep pairing of the tuber, but
affords ready entrance to infection.
Loss Of this sort lies In every growers
and shippers power to control, 1t is
pointed out.

WHY | Am A SCOUT

The following statement, written by
a boy scout, appeared in a Chicago
newspaper in connection with cam
paign for scout funds:
II am boy scout because believe
in the doctrine of the Boy Scouts Of
America-America first. believe in
the service to others which the boy
scouts have made the premier issue,
and I believe that the future of this
government, If not of the world, rests
in the hands Of the boy scouts OF to-
day.
"But what have the boy scouts done
and why should they be helped2 Dur
Ing the war they were ready to an
swer the summons of their country at
any time. Being too young to shouIuer
gun, they set to work at home to
raise money for the Red Cross, to sell
Liberty bonds and war savings stamps.
only in the last few days Of the cam
paign, to the few who were, not
touched before. They were ready to
respond to their country In giving first
aid, carrying messages, or doing any
thing they were called upon to do. For
this they received only word OF
qualification from their government,
but they were not after praise.
= ''The boy scout is trained to rescue
person in danger, and to apply nrst
aid to his wounds until the doctor
comes. The doctrine of service Is ever
prominent, for the good turn daily Is
put into practice all over. A scout
can be trusted and will never break
his word or commit theft. A scout
is loyal and obedient to the right, kind
to dumb animals, Of service to man,
friendly toward others and cheerful
In his actions. BE has to pass certain
tests which give him greater knowl-
edge and broader view.
You are now being asked to con-
tribute some money to the boy scouts
In order that they may continue their
good work. What is your return? A
safe government for your children,
based on the principles Of love, un-
selfishness and common sense. There
need be no fear for the future Of
America IL placed In the hands Of the
boy scouts"

SCOUTING A WORTHWHILE JOB.

b. X. Willow Of Philadelphia, ten
year scout man, says:
ut has been great pleasure to be
associated In scout work through
these past ten years. Whatever 1t may
have meant to the boys 1t has meant
a great deal to me. The seven years
when I was actively engaged with the
different groups Of boys as scoutmas-
ter have brought great deal Of pleas
ure to me. II every man could come
In contact with boys thus intimately
he would find 1t helpful In many ways
even though 1t takes time and means
the sacrifice Of things men hold dear.
after the experience Of these ten
years In connection with work for
boys / am convinced that there is no
better program for character building
than the scout program and I hope
that i may have hand in it for years

MOST DESIRABLE
POULTRY FLAVOR
Much Depends on Distribution of
Both Flesh and Masses Of
Fat Over Carcass.
FLESH OF FEMALE IS MILDER
Exercise oushens Fibers and connec-
nective Tissues and Lessons Amount
of Fat-Do Not Feed Fowls
Onions or Garlic.

Prepaie ed by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Desirable quality In the flesh Of
poultry intended for table use depends
on tire flavor Of the flesh; on the tex
ture; on the amount Of flesh in pro
portion to the weight of the bird; and
on tie distribution Of both the flesh
and the larger masses Of fat over the
carcass. Other things being equal, the
flesh Of the females usually Is milder
than that of the males. say home
economic specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Caponizing makes the flavor Of cocks
more delicate, tends to produce finer
and less tough muscle fibers, and in
creases the size of the masses Of meat,
especially in the breast.
Effects Of Age on Flavor.
Age tends to increase flavor. at first
advantageously, but later usually, dis
advantageously. Most very young
birds have flavor too mild to be sat
lsfactory for stewing or fricassee, but
make splendid eating as broilers or
flyers. The delicacy Of flavor usual
ly is lost in decidedly old birds. AS
the bird grows older, the proportion
Of flesh to bone usually increases. at
least up to the period Of full matur-
ity. Often the large masses Of flesh
found on such birds can be utilized
more satisfactorily than the smaller
ones found on young and scrawny
chickens.
Exercise affects the flavor and tex
ture Of poultry flesh, as In any kind
Of meat. 1t toughens the fibers and
the connective tissues, and lessons the
amount of fat. 1t may also affect the
distribution Of flesh on the carcass In
creasing the naturally strong, tough
muscles rather than the less-used, ten
der ones. In some birds, notably
chickens, the exercise can be con-
trolled. Almost any poultry. however,
can safely be penned for few days
before killing.
The difference between the flesh Of
a plump chicken and Of lean one
Of similar kind and age Is due princi-
pally to the fat present. The skill Of
the fattener. from the consumers

Goat.


while the production of two quarts Is
good, and the production of three
quarts is considered excellent, provid-
ed the lactation is maintained for from
seven to ten months, say specialists
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture. There is probably no bet
ter way to treat this matter than to
state that good does should produce
from eight to fifteen times their
weight In milk In lactation period.
1t is stated by German writers that
many goats yield ten times their body
weight Of milk annually. and excep-
tional animals as much as eighteen
times their weight.
Goats milk can be utilized for the
same purposes as cows milk, although
for some It is not nearly so well suit
ed. For general use, such as for
drinking, cooking. and In tea or COT
fee, the milk has proved very salts
factory. The milk Of one Of the larg-
est herds In the country Is evapo-
rated and sold in that form. Goats
milk is less satisfactory than cows
milk for making butter, but large
quantities of goats'-milk cheese are
manufactured, especially in Europe.
Practically all publications dealing
with milk goats attribute considerable
Importance to the use of the milk for
infants and invalids.

About the first question that most
people ask concerning milk goats is,
How much milk will they produces"
This is, of course, very important
consideration, as the value Of doe
is estimated largely by her milk pro-
duction. Even If a doe Is purebred,
she is of little value from the utility
standpoint unless she Is capable Of
giving good quantity Of milk. Many
persons In purchasing purebred or even
grade goats have been disappointed to
find that the milk could be measured
In pints and not quarts or gallons as
expected.

day Is considered only fair mixer,

SECURE BEST HARVEST HELP
Rovers are Usually Efficient but They
Are Liable to Leave Before Crops
Are All In.

Getting help for the harvest rush Is
a problem which Is best faced weeks
in advance. Grain, and orchard har-
vest seasons bring to many sections
large numbers of travelling help who
start with crop in the South and
work north with the season to the
Canadian border. These workers are
usually efficient through long ex-
perience, but they are likely to feel
the urge Of the road and leave before
the farmer gets his crop all harvested,
obligine him to pay much higher rate
to secure the remainder Of the crop
before It spoils Wherever efficient
local help can be obtained, It Is to
he preferred to the .rovers.
