SCOUTS
DRIVE FOR REPRESENTATION
|ucted by National Council Of
Boy Scouts of America.)

The fact that large number Of
scout troops fall annually to re-register,
and consequently have to be stricken
from the national records Is causing
the national council so much concern
that they are endeayoring to investi-
gate each case Of dead or lapsed
troop to see what ended Its dormant
condition and what, If anything, can
be done to revive 1t and put 1t In good
working order again.
In many cases the trouble has been
traced to the lack of proper leadership,
of laXness in handling troop business
on the part of those In charge. This
Is, of course, serious injustice to the
boys themselves, who are usually not
only willing but anxious to "carry on"
Scout leaders everywhere are being re-
minded that unless troop Is regularly
registered at the national council head
quarters 1t cannot be included In the
hoy scout membership nor so reported
to congress. This means even more
to the boy according to act of con-
gress: No unregistered scout is enti-
tied to wear the scout uniform and in
sigma
The chief scout executive has this
to say on the subject:
"rhe fundamental detectives Of
scouting are character development and
citizenship training. Good citizenship
means law and order. That is, not
only knowledge Of laws, but observ-
ance Of laws, rules and regulations.
Surely every scout leader wants to
have members of his troop lawful and
orderly in the matter Of membership
In the Boy Scouts of America.
"Only scouts and scout officials who
are duly registered in accordance with
the regulations of the Boy Scouts Of
America, adopted pursuant to federal
charter granted by congress, can law
fully represent themselves as scouts
authorized to wear the uniform and
official insignia
Scouts whose membership Is al
lowed to lapse violate the regulations
and therefore are not lawful and or
derby.
This Is an important matter. Act
promptly"
1t Is to be hoped that every person
interested in scouting will concern him.
self with the question involved and SEQ
to it that no scout troop is allowed to
lapse for want Of adult leadership and
action In behalf Of the boy and COM
munity who both need scouting.

WITH THE SITUATION.

Organization Not Yet Strong Enough
To Take the Prospects Of Low
Market After Recent Experience.
Raleigh.

Farmers, merchants and bankers in
meeting here were satisfied that both
the cotton and tobacco crops Of 1922
will be marketed through the coop
erative plan, which has been steadily
getting stronger for several weeks.
But for fear of OVERRIDING the thing
the 1921 tobacco crop might be put
on the market that way as reports
made to the meeting showed that
fifty-two per cent Of the growers have
contracted to sell through the assocla-
ton. This is sufficient to do business
WITH but the leading spirits are IN
filmed to believe that the plan VIII go
better next time. Financially, the
crop could be handled but the organic
alton is not strong enough to tackle
the prospects OF low market on top
of the disappointing prices OF last
year.
A full meeting Of the cooperative
workers will be held here in July when
the Announcement of the organization
will be made In the meantime, flying
squadrons are going over the state to
bring the percentage of cotton grow.

of enrolling enough to handle the cot.

THAT SOMETHING.

What is it that makes Troop?
1T IS THAT SOMETHINGi
What Is 1t that makes the Troop
boom, what causes the wonderful
attendance at each meeting?
Why does the Troop make such
wonderful progress?
1T IS THAT SOMETHING'S
You can have the best cannon In the
world and thousands of pounds Of
shells but the metal and powder is
absolutely useless unless you have
flame to touch off the fuse.
TT IS THE FLAME THAT DOES
THE WORK!
You can have the best bunch Of
boys in the city, the best scoutmaster,
the best meeting place and the most
money in the treasury-but all this
amounts to nothing unless you have
the flame to set the things going. and
the flame which will start the Scout
Trop going is
THAT SOMETHING.
No, 1t is not pep alone; nor is it
loyalty alone that makes the good
troop. 1t is not cooperation or team
work alone, nor is 1t obedience alone.
But the fame which will set the
scout troop off-which will make it
hum right along-is all Of the above
qualities rolled together and. called
THE TROOP SPIRIT.

magazine.
