tory the tallow candle, the kero-

Under this plan the farmer is en-
abled to enjoy the comforts and

Weekly Book Review
The Book of National Parks" "
BY X. :. YARD.


one of the most delightful books
added TO our public library dur
ing the past year is Robert Sterl-
ing Yards Book of the National
Parks" He tells the geological
story in such unscientific phrase
that the most lay mind will easily
grasp all that ordinary writers
clothc in dry technical language.
MIR. Yard. as chief OF the educa-
tional division OF the National
Park service is fitted by his inti-
mate acquaintance with the parks
to tell us about them, and one is
pleased to learn that in such a
readable book one may get such
pleasurable profit.
; Every lover OF the big outdoor,
every loyal American should read
the book. Il will bring to mind
again that here in our own land
We have in our national parks the
completest expression OF the old
earth'S history.
THIS review is contributed By one
who has spent weeks in each one OF
our national parks.

Boy Scouts
BY Harold L. Cook.

Fred A. Cook. formerly scoutmas-
ter of willamette Troop No. 4, OF
this city, is spending the weekend
at scout headquarters, where he Is
making an official audit Of the
hooks and records of the council.
Mr.. Cook is auditor of the Coast
Motor company, of Dallas.
f, Howard Zinser. former scout
master Of Chemeketa Troop No, 3,
has returned to this city, and will
again take up his duties as scout
master of that troop. All Hail! The
Boy Scout Hero comes!
Bernard Morse, who has been
filling Mr.. Zinser's place during his
absence, has been transferred, to-
gether with his assistant scOutmas-
ters, Messrs, Benjamin Rickli and
Albert Geyer, to the Leslie Meth
odist church, where new troop
is being organized, to be known as
Troop No. 2. Mr.. Morse won the
hearts of Salem scouts by his ac-
tivities on the last summer camp,
and his advent into South Salem
will be received with rejoicing. AL
bert Geyer, assistant scOutmaster
to Mr.. Morse. has had four years
experience in community play
ground work, and is a special at
traction for the new troop. AppIi-
cations for membership in this
troop are being received now.
c. B. Clancy, president of the
Salem council, Boy Scouts of Amer
lea, has called a meeting of his
executive board, to meet in the
private dining-roOm of the Marion
hotel, Monday evening, January "a,
1921, at 6:15 p. m. Great things
can be expected of the new coun-
ell regime, because of the wonder
full program which they have
adopted and the enthsuiastic man
ner in which every man is carrying
it across.
The regular quarterly meeting of
Salcm's Boy Scout troops will be
held at the armory, Thursday. Feb
ruary 8. A dandy scout program
is being arranged, ad every Boy
Scout will be there. At that time
final arrangements will be made
for the scouts participation in the
parent and scout banquet to be
held Friday, February II.
The regular monthly meeting of
the Salem Scoutmasters' associa-
ton will be held at scout head
quarters on Friday. January 2S, at
1880 p. m. In this connection it
can be said that modern life pre-
sents 10 men no more worthy
task than the leadership Of boys. 1t
They demand 100 percent leader
ship. Scouting, however, presents
a proved way to do it. Being a
Scoutmaster has come to be known
as a badge of quality - an ear
mark of real manhood. Scouting
with its outdoor craft and life. its
cooperation and service, its lofty
code of personal and civic honor
needs men. Scouting is a compan-
lonshlp - way of living. II val

Bert Head Has Thrill

Ber Head. plotting a motor truck,
had thrilling experience last week
when his rear wheels began to slide on
the steep, snowy surface of First
street. He had just started the ma
chine, but the slight momentum was
sufficient to send it down the steep
street at the foot of which an O-W. r.
& N. freight train was just passing.
Mr.. Head displayed skill as a driver by
so manipulating his car that the wheels
were started to rolling again and the
skidding stopped. When almost on the
track he succeeded in turning the car
at right angles to the track and bring
ing it to stop on the level.
