There has been some very credit

More scouts are working on bows
every day. The demand for this
work has so greatly Increased that
an additional supply has been order
ed of bow stock. Archery Is really
not a new feature in Scouting but a
new interest has been developed and
contests will be held, to enable
scouts 20 qualify for merit badges in
this subject. Most any boy can make
a creditable bow but II takes real
craftsmanship TO make the arrows.
The two requisites of a good arrow
are absolute straightness and great
stiffness. A timber arrow, no matter
how straight Il may be, will
buckle" when it receives the sud
den impulse of the bow string. I.-
structions for making arrows can Ds

cabin was erected especially for
winter work, they are planning to
use Il during the summer months.

There are few fundamental truths we all should frankly

Perhaps the most marked difference between civilized
and savage is that the civilized man has toolsthat u.s.
he has ''things to work with
One of these is Capital.
Civilization kind that have and the kind that has
been GROWN by natural evolution, means Capital.
Perhaps better kind might be MADE, but it would be
artificial its advantages entirely theoretical and its drawbacks
unknown.
The 'Way of present industrial muddle is not to
destroy Capital for that would simply that the world
should commit suicide It is argument Of desperation and
passion, not of intelligence.
But the WAY Out is to abolish Poverty
And Poverty may be defined the condition Of having
toos-that is, having no Capital
The way abolish Poverty them to make every
nearly possible Capitalist.
That only be done by Thrift.
Thrift should be preached by fear but should be

The inequalities of society that rich and
poor be cured not by eveng down. but always by level
