FUN ON THE FARM

Fun on The Farm is coming to
Ellsworth July LIST with its 81 variet-
les of fun. 1t has clowns galore to
drive dull care away--tall, short, fat
and skinny clowns in colorful variety.
The management announces engage
ment of the highest priced clowns in
America with more clowns and more
stunts than you have ever before
seen. All the world loves clowns.
and most of the world is always
clowning.
People have been accustomed to get
their fun "off'' the farm. John M.
Kelley, founder of Fun on The Farm,
believes that the country is the
greatest theatre in the world-that
all we need is good stage manager
to bring out the beauty of farm life,
develop its fun, revive its spirit of
romance and incidentally put BUSH
ness system into the selling end Of
farming.
Clowns and pantomime are used to
interpret the educational features of
the program, and Fun on The Farm
is establishing in every town Col
lege of Clowns.
100000 left the farms last year
compared to 100000 who left the
year before. Fun on The Farm has
a particular appeal to the boy and the
girl who live so much in the spirit
of fun and who, for the lack of it on
the farm, are misleadingly attracted
to the big cities. Every parent from
town and country should bring their
children to see Fun on The Farm. 1t
is a big, new, clean, delightful form
of amusement.
There is an old saying-"Laugh
and the world laughs with you"
There is new Kellygram out that
says, "You will laugh and learn at
Fun on The Farm" Kelley sets up
up the principle that is you can get
men to laugh together you can get
them to work and cooperate together.
| Kelley invites to Ellsworth, July
1st, five thousand business men and
| farmers, women and children to sit
down together and laugh and learn p"

WHAT SCOUTING is

Scouting is a program of activities
for the local community, operated
and directed by local men, for the
benefit of local boys. The normal
boy is persistently active when
awake. When in the home, school
or church or when at work, it may
be assumed he is under measure of
safe supervision, but when he leaves
these relations his activity may be
expressed in ways which are hurtful
to himself and the community in
which he lives. The people of his
community, therefore, are funda-
mentally responsible for what he
does in his leisure time and how he

Scout Program. Through the leader
ship of the scoutmaster these ideals
are transferred to the life of the
boy. The method of Scouting is
(study these phrases carefully):
By encouraging outdoor life.
To develop Health;
BY placing the boys in situations
which automatically teach democracy
within the troop organization,
To train Citizenship; and
By leading boys to participate in
selected habit-forming activities,
To build Character.

SPANS Gift to Britain

Spain has recently made England a
present Of model of the Santa
Maria, the ship In which Columbus
sailed to America, and the gift recalls
others given at various times by one
country to another.
Everybody has heard of the famous
Liberty statue In New York. This was
presented to America by France In
1884.
Some years ago the French govern
ment presented Sevres vase to the
British museum. 1t is magnificent
specimen and very valuable.
Ancient weapons, such as guns,
swords and so on, are fairly common
gifts from one country to another.
That which is known as Queen Eliza
beth's pocket pistol" was Gift to
Great Britain from the Netherlands.
1t was cast as long ago as 1874

does it. Scouting offers to. the COM
munity a purposeful chan acter- build
ing program which develops a boy
as an individual and as ?. citizen by
providing activities which grip boy
interest and enrich boy life. Under
this program Scouting helps the boy
to achieve a mastery over himself,
to maintain right service relation
ships with other people, and to pre-
pare himself for the opportunities
and obligations of man citizenship.

BUTTONS AND BADGES

MY FRIEND Gordon was wearing
4VA a parti-colored button in his
lapel the meaning of which was unin-
telligible to me.
"Just Joined the Boosters club"
he explained.
These badges of accomplishment are
as numerous as flies around can Of
maple strip; they decorate all sorts
ard conditions of men thay reveal the
most personal and intimate relations
Of life. We conceal nothing in these
days of what we have done, of the or
CARNATIONS to which we belong, or of
the activities in which we are engaged.
The conductor who received my fare
as l rods home on the electric cars was
wearing on the lapel of his coat huge
gold-plated atrocity announcing that
he had secured membership in some
secret industrial or fraternal order
with whose insignia I was unfamiliar.
The professor who occupied the
seat with me announced by the but
ton on the lapel of his coat that he had
been in the Civil war ald by the keys
dangling from his watch chain that he
had accomplished no little in a scien-
fife way and that while in college he
had maintained a scholastic average Of
so or above.
The travelling man facing me told
his business by the organization badge
on mis- coat, and the number of degrees
he had taken in Masonry by his watch
fob, his signet ring giving away an
ether series Of facts concerning his
frsternal affiliations. 1t was as easy

rs to tell a policeman by the star that
he wears.
We take no stock these days in not
letting our left hand know what our
right hand is up to, Instead, we shout
II out until every individual in the
neighborhood knows fully our comings
and goings, what we have been doing
and where our money has gone. If
we give a quarter to charity, we an
nounce the fact with button; if we
toin anything we publish our member

Ruth must be listed high because
he has saved game after game through
his run-making ability. He has been
responsible for a far greater number
of runs than any other ball player in
either major league.
When two men such as Vance and
Johnson together can turn in some
thing like thirty consecutive victories
with ball clubs that were never picked
to win last April their value is not to
be surpassed
If one was called upon to name the
three most valuable pennant-contend-

"XN no is my neighbor" the
w querulous lawyer asked the
Christ, and 1t was the simple story of
the despised Samaritan which was told
him to illustrate the point. 1t is
story familiar to most people, no doubt.
A certain man sets off for Jericho along
a road and through a country difficult,
dangerous, beset by perils. He is held
up on the way, beaten. robbed, stripped
of his clothing and left bleeding and
broken by the roadside. Thirst and
hunger and pain rack him, but the way
is lonely and the travellers few.
In time a priest, educated, pious,
well-fed, comfortably clothed comes
down the road and hearing the groans
of the unfortunate man lying by the
way walks over and gazes at him curl
ously.
How unfortunate" he probably
murmured, but the man was no friend
of his, he had been fool to take such
a journey alone and unprotected Any
way it was the business of his friends
to look after him, and the vlrtuous
priest walked on.
It was Levite, a religious aristo-
crat, who came next down the road.
Hearing the groans Of the injured man
he walked discreetly on the other side
so that his ears might not be an
noyed by the cries Of the sufferer or
his body made unclean through physl-
cal contact with him. What was I'M
pleasant. he would avoid. He was the
selfish, self-satisfed, self-complaisant
citizen
1t was the Samaritan, despised and
socially outcast, from whom nothing
should have been expected, who recog-
nized the demands of brotherhood and
whose tender heart turned toward the
unfortunate man. He was neighbor
to him.
There was a letter in the mail this
morning from John. asking for loan
of "thre dolers." He was sick in a
hospital in Hot Springs he said, and
needed a few comforts not supplied
by the management. He would return
it when he came north in the spring.
John, you should know, is a knight
of the road" who does our house clean
ing every spring His buttons are not
all on tight, I'm afraid Lending him
money is not wholly safe investment,
I'm sure. John has few neighbors.
But he does his work faithfully: he is
loyal and honest, and just now he has
fallen among thieves of a sort who
have robbed him of his strength and
his power to make a living.
Better send it to him." Nancy said,
and /, thinking of the Good Samaritan.

dolers."
He paid It back in the spring.

SCARLET FEVER

CCARLET FEVER Is one Of the few
- diseases which battle the scientist.
Efforts to ascertain us cause have
been unsuccessful, although recent in
vestigations and experiments give hope
that we may soon have a specific
treatment.
The germs which cause the disease
are apparently present III the tonsils,
the blood, the Emphatic glands, and
on the mucous membrane of the
mouth. nose and throat.
There is. at present, no cure for
scarlet fever. Once it has attacked a
person, there is no "curIng" it 1t viii
run its course. 1t Is comparatively
rare among grown people and chill
dren over ten years Of age: among
young children, however, it is highly
contagious. 1t is widespread over the
entire world but is more prevalent in
temperate climates than in hot parts
of the world.
Efforts to combat scarlet fever are
handicapped because the cause of the
disease is not known; because we
have no direct method of controlling
II: and because many mild cases are
not recognized and consequently are
not treated and quarantined as scarlet
fever
If your child suddenly feels tired
and out of sorts. if he has
fever, a chill, or commissions. or if he
vomits, If the tongue is coated, If he
complains of sore throat. especially
if these symptoms are followed by a
rash, keep him away from other peo-
