Throughout the last several years
there has been an undercurrent of un-
rest, not only in the countries across
the waters, but in our own United
States as well. This unrest has, at
various times and in various ways,
manifested itself contrary to the laws
of the country. In recent years crime
waves in one form or another have
swept over the land, finding their
strongest centers in the larger cities,
but reaching out into the less po-
pulated communities, sufficient to
cause grave concern.
What are some of the reasons for
this condition of affairs, and what
can be done to counteract them l
like to look upon our government as
al arge machine in which you and l
play a greater or lesser part. We like
to look at machinery that works
smoothly, each part of which, whether
little or big, works in perfect unison.
But sometimes through poor work
man ship or poor material, we find
parts that do not work in unison; that
do not seem to fit into the place for
which it was designed AS a result
the whole machine suffers from it.
The machine does not get the power
it should, or something else is wrong,
and it becomes to either take the
part out entirely or to put further
work thereon, or readjust it to fit in
to the general scheme of things. The
great trouble in our country, and in
other countries, today is that there are
too many misfits; too many persons
too many who for one reason OF anott-
The Devils Lake world., 1922-10-04

er are unable to work in unison with
the general scheme of things as they
should be. 1t is quite likely that dur
ing some period of the life of each
of these individuals, when their char
acter was being moulded, there was
a lack of the proper influence, the
proper sympathy and interest that is
needed in that period of mans life.
Wrong influences were allowed to get
the upper hand and moulded life that
was untitled to take its proper place
ir orderly society.
In order to counteract these things
and to solve, in a measure at least
these problems, it is necessary that
the men and women who are interested
in good government and the welfare of
society in general, take keen interest
in the youth of today. The boy of
tcday is the material out of which
we shape our citizens of tomorrow.
You and | are the workmen who will
help shape the future of the boy. 1t
is largely an educational problem
il which the home, the schools and
the church must play the important
roles. No one of these factors can
safely be left out Of boys life
without disasterous results. said the
home, the school and the church must
be the important factors in this cam
raign of education. That does not
mean that as private citizens should
sit back and say, that is the business
Of the teachers, the pastors or the
Sunday school workers. We must get

"a Bore is a chap who talks about
himself when you want to talk about
yourself"
If you will mind your own business,
you will give the other fellow much
more time to do the same thing.
There is reason for everything un-

Business is an exchange of values.
For the money you get you must give

niaue of military training, nor does it
advocate or teach militarism.
The Boy Scout movement is non-
sectarism. It gives no preference to
one religious belief over another, nor
does it permit discussing or advocat-
ing sectarism matters in Scouts meet
ings. On the contrary it teaches a
Scout to be tolerant of others in the
matter of their religious belief. 1t
works in unison with the different
churches by instilling in the boy a
reverence for God. This is absolutely
necessary to right character build
ing, A belief in Diety is fundemen-
tai with all religious, and in so far
as the Scoutmaster teach the recogni-
tion of God they can not be too re-
ligious.
The Scout organization gives pre-
ference to church sponsorship Of
troop organizations. In this way it
lends itself to the promotion of a
deeper feeling and desire, in a boy. for
religious training in his own church
and Sunday School. l hold that hu-
man beings are naturally religious.
Through neglect and the workings of
wrong influences, however, some of
them drift away. l believe that in so
far as we can re-awaken this natural
instinct in those who have drifted
away, and hold others who might have
a tendency to do so, we are going
to solve, in large measure, the pro-

blem with which we are faced.
There is nothing naturally bad
about a boy. His natural trends is
the other way. He desires the higher
and better things in life, but he is in
the period Of life when he is easily
swayed. 1t is the time of his life
when he does his leisure time goes in
to his character. Capitalize this lei
sure time for good and the investment
will bring very satisfactory dividends
in lives of our "Citizens of Tomorrow"
This is the aim and object of the Boy
Scouts of America.

Conference Of
PrOSec cutOrS
To Be Called

District attorneys of Oregon
will be called into conference
either in Portland or Salem with
in the next week or ten days to
discuss law enforcement problems
facing the state, according to At
torney General l. H. Van Wrinkle.
The conference is to be called
by the attorney general at the
suggestion of United States Attor-
ney General H. M. Daugherty,
who has requested conferences of
this nature in all the states of the
Union. While Daugherty in his
letter to Attorney General Van
Winkle lays stress on the prohibit
tion problems and laws involving
pFofiteering the Oregon confer
ence, it is intimated, will lay par
ticular emphasis on the liquor
question.
Attorney General Daugherty
explains in his request for the
conference, the need for better
understanding between state and
federal law enforcement agencies
in order to avoid duplication of ef-
Tort now SO common in the work
OF these agencies. The various
states, he explains, should arrange
for a strict enforcement of their
laws covering the problems in
hand, leaving the federal agencies
TO step in and take up the work |
which the state laws fail to cover.

Prune Price Is
Advanced Today

Prices on Oregon prunes were
raised today by the Oregon Grow
ers Cooperative association, fol
lowing an increased demand which
has rapidly taken 1 cars of the as
sociation s stock during the last
week. The trade is awakening
from the lethargic attitude which
which prevailed during the close
of the old year and is at least con-
vinced that stocks of prunes on
the coast are as they were repre-
sented-very short.
The advances embody an in
crease of 2 cents pound on 2O-30
Italian prunes, 1 cent a pound on
1850, 5000 and 6O-70 Petites
and three-fourths of a cent a
pound on 1880, 5000 and 90-1O0
Petite prunes. An advance on 80
40 Italian prunes has not yet been
named but this is to be determined
by the associations advisory com
mittee of prune growers within
the next few days.
Holdings of the California
Prune & Apricot Growers have re-
ceiyed a second boost in price and
are now being offered at advances
over their opening prices amount
ing to 2 cents on 30-40s, IL cents
on 4O-50s, 50-60s and 60-7Os and
1 cent on 70-S0s, S0-90s and 90
zoos.
1t has been enormously repre-
'ented in a few unauthorized press
'eports that the Oregon Growers
lad sold their entire stock of
,runes. The association has en-
irely cleaned up certain lines of
'runes including all Italians
than 30-40s and all of the
willamette valley Petites but it
till holds stocks in some other
ines though these are materially
educed.
