TO DE A SCOUT.

He wasn't a scout, tho he wore the
pin,
For the scouting program had never
soaked In;
He claimed a troop and registered
name,
But he never had learned to play the
game.
He tied the knots and he ran the pace,
He knew the code and kept smile
on his face;
He built his fire, he boiled the pot
But that Is just as far as he got.
He learned the oath, its parts he
knew,
But the inner meaning had never
soaked through,
For If 1t had and he meant what he
said,
He'd have been our pride like the
sacred dead.
You can't be a scout by joining q
troop;
It's more than a club and some to
boot.
You'll have to do something not every
boy can,
For you've got to begin to be man.

acres OF rpened wheat per day.
The great difficulty with heavy
tractors In the wheat section is with
the rolling nature Of the land. Wheat
is planted on steep hills where horses
and mules can be driven but where
the heavy machinery slides and tips.
To care for his wheat last year Vim
cent used 250,000 new jute bags for
which he paid II cents each. This
year he has ordered new supply Of
cotton ones from Georgia.
Another large wheat farm near here
Is that OF Ben Grote, who has seeded
TO wheat 10000 acres. John Webb has
a 9.0O0-acre field Of whert and there
Is another of 1000 acres near Toledo.
In what Is known as the Big Bend
country there are numerous wheat
farmers who plant from 1,5OO to 1900
acres each year to grain.
An unfortunate featurc Of the
growing OF wheat in this way is that
the land is being rapidly depleted OF
its fertility. There is need Of a sys-
TEN of diversified planting to save the
land from utter bnrrenness. For
nearly fifteen years many Of these big
farms have been growing wheat every
year. Some wise farmers let their
farms lie fallow every other year,
thinking they get an increased crop
enough to pay for the idle season.

THE JOY OF A JOB.

VOU can just about divide people
i into two groups-those who love
their work, and those who don't.
For most of us our work is the chief
part of our life. 1t Is up to US to
choose the sort Of work that we are
going to like. No amount of money
can repay you for unhappiness hours
daily spent doing something you dis
like are unhappy hours.
But the truth is that the woman
who is enjoying her work usually
makes more at 1t than she would at
other work. She brings enthusiasm
to 1t, and improves possibilities that
she wouldn't even see If she didn't
love what she did.

NEW INTERNATIONAL SCOUT
MAGAZINE.

At the first International scout con
gress held in London last summer II
was voted to establish permanent
scout magazine, the first Of which, en-
titled The Jamboree, has just been
published. The magazine is printed
In English, French, Spanish and ltal'
ian, the same text being rendered In
all four languages.
In his introduction Of the new jour
nal Baden Powell, founder Of the scout
movement, says:
"A field of immense possibilities has
become opened to US. While, there
fore, we are building up, each for the
good of our country, our own indiyid-
ual national associations Of boy scouts
and girl guides as school Of young
citizens, let us keep ever before us
the still greater aim of promoting the
comradeshlp with our brother scouts
in other lands. In this way we may
help in no mean degree to bring about
that mutual unity and good will which
will make the world an assured home
Of peace, happiness and prosperity for
all.
This journal, although starting In
humble way. holds the honor of be-
ing the first of Its kind, and 1t may
become the instrument for bringing
untold results in this direction of high
endeavor II 1t receives the support
which earnestly and confidently hope
II will receive from my brother

81 BY the Mexican government is to
be followed by general rehabllita-
ton of many edifces which were bad
ly damaged during the long period of
revolutions. In many instances mag

things Of value were stolen by sacri'

One of the things that impresses
the visitor TO Mexico most strongly Is
the number and beauty OF the
churches of the country, writes
Monterey correspondent of the New

fact, where there Is human habta-

of the older buildings erected in the
early days Of Spanish control are in

II has been said that the unusual
fascination Of Mexican churches lies
In their mixed architecture, the Chris
tlan spire the Moorish dome, the In
dian facades. the Suracenic c0lorlng
and, added TO this, the fact that the
workmen employed by the Spanish
artists and architects were Indians,
