A Scout does not take a rife out
into the woods to gee how good a
marksman he is. He will not go
along shooting indiscriminately at
any living creature, like some boys
that5I have known, but if he cares
or has need for food, will consider
that it is for food which he is
hunting, and will shoot only such
game as he will be able to use.
In the case of fishing. Scout
has been known to sit on the bank
of a tream fishing, and within tlve
minutes has secured sufficient hsh

to carry them home or not. and
not considering that fish like to
live as well as boys or men, He
would see how fast he could pull
them in, not because he needed
them for food but just to white
away his time. or have the joy Cd
of catching them. But Scout
will not take more fish from the
stream than he possibly can use
Scouts have been known to
walk for three miles, with little
rabbit in their arms. to reach the
camp hospital, so that the camp
surgeon could set the broken leg

They would throw stones at 1t to
see which were the straighter
shot. Not because they had to Kill
the crippled rabbit. or because It
would kill them. but because IT
furnished amusement for them
while they were doing it. The
real reason that a Scout is
friends to animals is because he
loves them. He has been brought
into close contact with them at
camp or on a hike. and he wants
to help, save and protect his

forts OF the West Virginia Farm
Bureau Federation to secure re.

The Chesapeake & Ohio Rail

& Ohio offer was not accepted,
however, he added. the federation
feeling that further reduction
should be made. Although COM

pected, these lower rates will not
affect agricultural products SO
much as materials used on the
farms. Mr. Mclaughlin added. A
material reduction of class rates
is also expected.

Sixth Scout Law

l9F 0lxIn aSCOut Law
The sixth Scout Law is. "a
Scout Is kind"
He is friend to animals. He
will not kill nor hurt any living
creature needlessly. but will strive
to save and protect all harmless
life.
He realizes what good the
various birds and animals are to
his daily life and therefore does
not kill the ones which will serve
him. He is so interested in them
that he will do all within his
power to help and protect them.
He will build bird houses and
feeding stations. He will erect
cat-guards. so that the house cat
will not climb the tree and des-
troy their nests. He likes their
ready song when he is in the
woods and spending the summer
days on hikes, SO he builds houses
in order that they may stay all
winter and make the life of not
only himself. but other people
cheerful with their song He has
grown to love them SO well that he
can distinguish whether a parti-
cular bird is robin or warbler.
He will not arm himself with a
sling-shot or air rifle to kill them.
and will try to show the boy who
is not a Scout why it is wrong to
carry the above and take pot-shots
at his favorite friends. He real
ICES the economic Importance of
the various birds and will try to
aid another to see the same thing
He has studied his feathered
friends, not only in books but
through actual first hand study.
He does not hunt birds with a
rife. but takes his camera with
him on his hikes when he. is bird
hunting. In this manner, he has
captured the bird without killing
it, or destroying harmless life.
He is kind to animals because
he knows what they mean in the
life of man. He IS ever ready to
help a horse or dog. In one
instance Scout was walking
along the streets when he saw a
horse in the boiling hot sun. and
just few feet ahead of the horse
was a shade tree. The horse was
trying to get into the shade of the
tree, but his halter was too short
The Scout loosened the halter and
led the horse up the few feet that
would bring it under the shade
Had he not done SO, it is possible
