once a month to try cases of miscOn-

"A region Of chestnuts, walnuts an(

France, is a place where the struggle
for existence has developed serious
sturdy, grim type Of peasantry.
THE infrequent visitor to the basin
OF the Garonne will find families
whose diet, in winter, consists largely
OF chestnuts and potatoes and goat

THE sons of COrreze who rubbed
elbows with allied soldiers on the
western front may have brought back
news of the trade opportunities which
lurked In the outside world. Per
haps that is why Correze farmers
awoke to the fact that chestnuts they
formerly gathered against the lean
winter might have a higher value in
exchange. Anyway, they found their
way to the channels Of American ex-
ports and Correze citizens now are
reported to be greatly disturbed at the

A SCOUT IS oBEpIENT

Ii his account of the recent trip OF
the "JambOree" delegation of Boy
Scouts of America to Europe. James
e. West. chief scout executive. tells
the following Incident:
''The 3O1 scout delegates ana most
Of their leaders were at the Interna.
tional Olympic games In Antwerp.
The arena was surrounded by thou
sands upon thousands Of spectators.
Down there on the battle-ground Of the
worlds champion athletes America
and England were face TO face for the
tug-Of-war. You know how a tug-Of.
war grips your attention. From the
word ,'go' you feel through your whole
body every effort by your own team to
hold its ground and to pull it's oppon.
ent. Think Of witnessing world
championship tug-of-war between
Americans and eEnglishmen before q
vast audience In which many nations
were represented. Would you get up
and leave your seat for million dol
lars? Yet, at the very moment that
the Americans dug in their heels. glued
themselves to the rope, filed their
lungs and tensed their muscles to pull
England from her ground. the jam
bOree scouts rose. faced about. and
marched from the scene.
"This is how It happened: While
the delegation was at the arena. the
officials were invited to meet King AL.
bert of Belgium, who was preparing to
come to the games. We left with Col.
Gignilliat, who had command Of our
delegation, for that purpose and were
advised that the King would be great
ly pleased to have the American boy
scouts act as guard of honor ON his
way to the arena. We were requested
to have the boys in readiness at once.
Accordingly Col. Glgnilliat returned to
the arena and just as the American
team of athletes dug In their heels to |
pull the English team from Its posi- |
ton that well-knOwn command that |
had held our delegation through |
hundred difficult situations. AT
tentiOn!" brought them sharply out
Of their trance of excitement and call
ed into play once more that splendid
spirit Of loyalty and service which
won for the Boy Scouts Of America

went in Europe"

TO PATRONS OF THE
ASKOv CREAMERY

The time is here when every
body interested in receiving a
good price for his butterfat must
take special care of the cream he
delivers to the creamery. We
have been fortunate enough the
past surpmer to receive a very
good price for our butterfat,
but to keep up our standard on
the market we must be on the
lookout all the time. To make
high priced butter nothing but
sweet and clean cream should be
delivered To the creamery; no
buttermaker can make 80 score
butter out Of unclean cream. Es-
pecially in the fall do we have to
be careful not to feed our cows
rutabagas before milking, or still
worse rutabaga tops, and never
let the cows pasture in the ruta-
baga and cabbage field as it
surely will give strong taste in
the butter and the result will
be a score OF SO TO SO which
will sell on the market at 5 to
cents under top prices.
We all know. but sometimes
we forget, 'and that is where we
lose. We have been trying hard
to make a good reputation for
our butter and we must not lose
it again. We did cooperate when
we built our creamery; let's all
cooperate now to keep up the
standard of cur butter.
