SCOTT ORGANIZATIONS

Besides the national organization
of Lone Scouts, there are organiza-
tions in each state. These are to
boost that state to the fore.
States have contests with each
other.
The organization awards five
points for each 100 words printed
in any chartered paper of good
standing. These articles are writ
ten about any topic in general like
an editorial, or about scouting The
winner of the greater number of
points wins the contest.
Then there are divisions of each
state known as certain tepee. In
Ohio these tribes have Indian names
as we'll as the members. For in
stance, my own is Hawk Eye, anoth-
er boys name Little Turtle. Be-
sides these there is the Internation-
al Fellowship Tribe, The Wild Life
Protection League, Kenohiye Boost
er, etc.
1t is not compulsory that any
scout join any of these sub-organiza-
tlons.-Russell A. Harlan, Blue

Fresh Tomatoes Essential To Health

Senator Royal E. Copeland of
New York, who is a physician and
sanitarian OF wide repute, dropped
in on the senate finance committee
while il was considering the sched-
ule on fresh vegetables.
Gentlemen. said he, fresh to
matoes are an essential article OF
food. and I am much interested in
them p"
1t is only in recent years that
medical science has learned that to-
matoeS contain several of the vita
mines which are natural enemies to
deficiency diseases such as rick
cts, scuryy and so on, and now to
mato juice is part Of a baby's diet,
and IN all hospitals tomatoes are
freely used, fresh, cooked, in soup,
and otherwise.
TO science, then, the vegetable
grower owes it that he has an all
year market for fresh tomatoes;
and to Cuba and Mexico this coun-
try owes it that they can get this
necessary fresh vegetable in the
winter months at reasonable prices.
Cuba ships her green tomatoes
direct 10 New York City. where
they are ripened and sold. Five
hundred thousand crates come from
our island neighbor annually, and
this industry, which is owned al
together by Americans, has grown
rapidly, until $4,000 acres are now
under cultivation No winter to-
matoes in commercial quantities are
aroWn in Florida or elsewhere in
the United States. Florida's toma~
toes begin 10 move in March, but
the heavy movement is in April and
May. SO the Florida tomato is
spring and not winter tomato.
