, 1t certainly pays to be prepared. A

on first aid practice and never have a

enough rescue work, but then again
when he least expects 1t the oppor-
tunity may be his to do a real job Of

In house. The little girl, running
across the room, slipped and falling
forward ran her arm through the win

would the average boy do? Run for

and good. But, In the meantime, a
severed artery means terrific loss Of
blood, and even death unless It Is
checked instantly. There isn't time
for ordinary precautions. 1t is case
Of instant action. Luckily in the in

SCOUTS
(Conducted by National Council OF the Boy
Scouta Of Amarica-l
COOPERATE WITH SCOUTS

In connection with the boy scout CO
operation in the national observance
of Forest Protection week last May,
as follows to the national council:
II have always been very much In
terested In the work of the boy
scouts and will gladly avail myself of
any opportunity to cooperate with
this organization. While In the past
there has been certain amount of
cooperation between the scouts and
the forest service, i think It Is pos
sible to greatly increase this. In my
opinion, this Is one of the best means
Of educating the public In regard to
the conservation of our natural re-
sources. The boy scout Of today is
the voter and business man Of toIA0r-
row, and his actions in the future will
be determined largely by the training
and education he receives now.
"The forest officers In the state serv-
ice are all very much interested In
boy scouts. In fact, some Of our men
are scoutmasters and others act In an
advisory capacity on matters pertain
ing to woodscraft and forestry. We
frequently give talks to scout troops
and meetings of scoutmasters. At
our recent rangers meeting we asked
some of the scoutmasters to take an
active part in the discussion. This
they did, and some very valuable
ideas were worked out.

trees which are to be planted and

FIRST PLAYED IN IRELAND
croquet Made Its Way From That
Country to England, and From
Thence to America.

The first treatise on croquet that
came to our little village was by
Mayne Reid. The book was first pub
lished In London in 1868; there was
New York edition In 1865; Boston
edition In 1856. Some Of the boys,
disdaining the mallets on sale, had
them made Of fancy but heavy woods.
The first stakes were tall, thick, with
gorgeously colored rings to match the
balls. The game encouraged filtration
among the older players. Young wom-
en- were coquettish in putting foot
on the ball and saw to it that they
were handsomely shod.
Was croquet a development of the
Dutch game, closh, or did 1t pass from
Brittany into Ireland? 1t certainly was
played in Ireland before 1t was popu-
lar in England, writes Philip Hale in
the Boston Herald. 1t has been stated
that 1t was played near Dublin under
this name in 1S34-5. The game and
name were introduced into England In
1852. In 1853 writer In Field said
croquet came into the north of Ireland
some twelve years before from a
French convent. Trollopes Mr..
Crosbie played croquet In 1852. In
1877 an ivory turner Of London. one
Dickson, remembered having made q
set Of croquet implements for Ireland
forty years before.
The game went out Of fashion In the
country when lawn tennis became the
rage. The men that persisted in cro-
quet were suspected Of being passion
ately addicted to soda lemonade. There
was at least revival. with grand
tournaments and strutting champions.
Uerkimer Johnson tells us that sum-
mer cottagers at Clamport play as
sIduously even when 1t rains and the
whacking of the wooden balls often
distracts him from the investigation

ment of Agriculture)
Growers of fruits and vegetables
are appreciating more and more the
benefits possible through organization
In marketing their products. 1t Is
estimated that there are 14,OOO
farmers cooperative buying and sell
ing associations In the United States
of which about 1000 represent fruit
and vegetable interests.
viii Find Bureau Grades Helpful.
Where the association Is organized
for the purpose Of selling, the
organizers often lose sight of the fact
that some standard must be adopted
for marketing their products. Indi-
viduals or organizations will find the
recommended or proposed grades
formulated by the bureau Of markets,
United States Department of Agricul-
tur'., very helpful as a basis for their
packs or brands.
One Florida truck growers associa-
tion adopted this past season the
tentative United States grades for
cucumbers as basis for their Fancy"
and "ChOice" packs, marketing them
under their leading brand. An investi-
gator OF the bureau Of markets in
spected the association pack and the
individual shippers pack and advised
with them when any doubtful points
concerning grades were raised. This
inspection service gave the bureau
of markets an opportunity to deter
mine in the field whether the grades
as formulated would be practical, at
least under Florida conditions.
The association packed all cucum-
bers through central packing shed,
each growers product thus being
graded by a disinterested person. This
made for uniformity Of the product.
Every car loaded by the association
was approximately to per cent
With, the grade requirements. Nearly
every car inspected outside the central
packing house was below grade. rang
