THE BOY SCOUTS

The end of an active week. The
scouts have really spent seven days
this week in scout work. Every night
has been meeting night, and from 10
to Is scouts have gathered at the
scoutmaster's home to pass test, and
get his help in subjects they did not
fully understand, and they are MAX
ing splendid Roadway.
Last night the scouts went to Sill
yer Springs, to hear Chief Running
Deer talk on scouting. Chief Run
ming Deer is the son of that famous
Chief n-in-the-Face, and is on his
way to South Florida, from Califor-
MIA. He is only &c years old, but a
fine speaker for so young man. The
"pale face" might learn many points
from him on how to live.
The Boy Scouts from Nashville,
Ga, are camping at the springs, and
the Ocala scouts are thinking OF
playing them game of baseball.
Say, Ocala sure has a live troop.
A vote of thanks goes to Mr.. FL. A.
Davies, for his services yesterday,
and the Cola Bottling Works for
the ues of its truck last night.
The scoutmaster said last nihgt:
Its such interest as this, shown by
the town people. that puts heart into
the boys and their leader"

GARDEN WORK MEANS HEALTH
Benefits of Cultivation, Even Of Small
Plot, Have Been Proved TO
Be Many.

Community gardens have been en-
couraged In the city Of Philadelphia
for the last twenty-three years, pri-
marily as a means Of helping people
to help themselves.
The same class Of work has been
carried on In other cities for shorter
periods Of time, with an equal degree
of success and satisfaction, according
to the United States Department of
Agriculture.
The original object In every case
was to help the people to provide food
at home, but incidentally and I'M
expectedly a number of other benefits
which In their way have proved OF
greater value than the original pur-
pose have developed.
These have TO do with the health
and pleasure Of the families Of the
gardeners as result of their outdoor
exercise and contact with nature.
A game of golf is all right ss con-
stitutional for those who can afford II.
The number, however, who play golf Is
small as compared with the thousands
of those who take their exercise and
outdoor life cultiSating gardens.
The cultivation Of the garden also
has the advantage that IL adds To the
W alth OF both the gardeners and the
nation.

Proner School Grounds.

When provision has been made for
the different playground activities the
attention should be turned 10 the
identifying Of the school grounds by
maars Of planting trees and shrubs.
This planting should be made for pro-
lection. such as q windbreak on the
sides from which the prevailing winds
blow, and for shade in the early days
of summer or fall. IT will be neces-
sary to set the trees some distance
from the school building. probably IS
or 100 feet distant. In order TO give
room for the playground apparatus.
All planting should be kept close to
the boundary lines and the founda-
ton Of the building

Dear Parents: / have heard it re-
marked that our country is going edu-
cationally mad. OF course. every one
who has given this matter any serious
thought knows it is not so. But what
has happened is this: Every parent
knows today that ignorance in our
country is no longer a fad. Every
thoughtful parent eralizes that the
eight primary grades are not sufficient
to equip our rising generation TO
solve contemporary problems. At least
a high school education must be had
to prepare one efficiently to me4szre
up to TIE demand of our times.
Z you are contemplating to give
your boy the benefits of q high school

get in touch with US.

The Small Town.

All America is watching the small
town. studying 1t. interpreting 1t, seek
ing through II to discover the depths
and intimacies of national life, asserts
a high school principal In Virginia.
1t seems that whereas the small boy
still imagines the city as the place con-
taining the great big things" of the
world, yet when he attains intelligent
and experienced manhood he contin-
ues to return to the village for the
really" big things which denote the
nations true character. Several years
ago, says the principal, even New
York forgot Broadway TO listen to the
broken sIlences Of Spoon river, and
the dramas and novels engaging the
attention OF the most serious OF the
metropolitan critics OF today are those
dealing with the problems OF the Main
street village. The country community
is no longer obscure.

advisable is a mooted question, but
all will concede that regulation OF

the premises where the same is
located.
Bottoms of all signs shall be at

Industrial communities are prone TO
undervalue the products of nature
until 1t is too late A fine tree is the
product OF from 20 TO 30 years Of
growth. II cannot he hurried; nature
will not hasten her steps at mans
wish. No amount Of money can speed
the development of any tree beyond a
certain pace. though money can pro-
vide good conditions for growth. To
save a tree, therefore, is to save some
thing which only a generation or more
can replace.

That story of the "black horror on
the Rhine" faxed up by the hyphen-
ates to win sympathy in America for
Germany, has proved boomerang.
Travellers of all nations are avoiding
that area and nobody is suffering ex-
cept the German hotel keepers and
others who cater to an usually good
tourist business. American newspa-
per men have never been able to find
any truth in the story, and the coun-
ell of health at Baden officially re-
pudiates it.
