Centers and secure the commodities
which he must obtain from these same
centers. specialists of the United
States Department Of Agriculture have
found. There has been a keenly felt
need in many rural communities for
such n means of transportation.
While in most places trucks are
owned and operated either by the
farmers for their personal benefit, or
by private individuals who hold them
selves ready to haul for the public
generally at an agreed rate, 1t is be-
lleved that many rural communities
would find 1t more economical to form
motor truck cooperative associations.
Many farmers who live within 10 TO %
miles of consuming ccnterS raise ber-
rleS, fruit, and truck crops, and most
Of them deliver their produce directly
to the city markets During the busy
season this requires several trips each
week. To make the trip by team means
a long, hard day for both men and
horses.
Before undertaking the formation OF
such an association, specialists Of the
department advise that q survey be
made to determine that an actual need
exists and that there will be sufficient
business TO warrant operating at least
one truck. 1t must be remembered,
too, they say, that the personal factor
VIII in large measure determine the
ultimate success of the association.

THE little gentleman In black vel

William III by digging the hurrow that
tripped the English kings horse is
finding his black velvet jacket a
coveted possession. Reports from the
leading fur dealers in this country In
dictate that the number OF American
moleskins marketed during the last
fiscal year was 20 per cent greater
than for the preceding u months. The
bureau of biological survey United
States Department of Agriculture, Is
largely responsible for this Increase.
In conducting demonstrations In CO.

tlons, the bureau has encouraged the
eradication OF the mole from terrific
rles where the little animal has be-
come a pest. Boys and girls clubs
have been given an opportunity to
study the trapping methods most eff
fective and also the best way to care
for the tiny pelts. The years catch
of moles yielded peltry value in the
state of Washington of 100000, and,
due to the efforts of the specialists, a
costly nuisance has been reduced.

MEMORY TREES TO SOLDIERS
Plan Proposed to hdorn American
Highways Meets With General APP.
proval Throughout Country.

To plant tree along the great new
American highways in honor of every
United States soldier, sailor and ma
rlne In the World war, is a proposal
which has met with the hearty sup
port of the American Legion, G. A. r.,
Gold Star Mothers and other patriotic
organizations. A permanent marker
would be placed on each tree, bear
ing the name Of one veteran and his
organization, with no indication OF
rank. A separate inscription would
be placed on the trees representing
those who died.
Full success of the project means
that the great Lincoln highway from
New York TO San Francisco and the
Dixie highway from Chicago to Flor
ida will be fringed with shade trees.
President Harding has expressed his
Of the plan and the United
States forestry bureau has promised
Its aid.

THE BOND OF SCOUTING

writes as follows in an article In The
Trail, the official organ of the London
scout council:
american boy scouts are very much
as we are.
III Is a tremendous responsibility
upon the shoulders Of the executives
Of the Boy Scouts of America. and our
own executives to guide Alright the
thoughts, hopes and aspirations OF the
youth Of these two great English
speaking nations. We must remem.
her our colonies are part of us and
our great empire. but Americans owe
allegiance to their own President and
government, though they speak our
tongue-surely the closest of ties II
Is therefore our b0unden duty to take
every step we can TO further the
closest relationship possible between
us. Animated by the same ideals as
we are, 1t should be our aim to de-
stroy all thoughts Of dlstrust and sus-
picion between the two great nations
and encourage the hope that working
together we can really make the
world safe for democracy Among all
the American scout officials there Is
the keenest desire to learn all about
u.s. to study the best that Is In us and
take II to ourselves. From our age.
long character, from our qualities of
perseverance and doggedness, they can
learn something, whilst we, too, from
their buOyant enthusiasm and youth,
can help ourselves to the full. Who
knows but what the boy scout move
ment In America will have the grea
est influence that any movement In
that country has ever had In shaping
the destinies Of great people, and
