The American Legion sponsors Boy Scouting because there is no code of good citizenship higher than the Scout oath. The Legion believes boys who take up Scout work will have better character, and become better citizens, than the boys who loaf around gang hangouts during their vacation time. In the year 1880, alone, r. 500 Scout troops were organized or adopted by Legion posts and many Legionnaires contribute their time and energy in helping the boys in this work.

ALASKAN WOODS MEET TEST FOR
 H|CA STRENGTH

With large areas in Alaska suit able mainly for timber produc- tion, a present forest utilization of but a fraction of the actual and potential growth, a variety of species, with large range i'll properties and an abundance of water power and timber resources which are favorable to pulpWOOd development, an increasing ec- onomic forest development is pre- saged for the Territory according to the Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture.
 In order to make available to the public and to those industries interested in the use of wood materials knowledge of the true extent and the useful properties of Alaskan woods, L. J. Markwardt, Senior Forest Engineer of the For est Products Laboratory main tained by the Forest Service at Madison, Wis, has prepared re- port of the results of series of tests of these woods. Tests show ed that the western henllock, Sit ka spruce, and several other AL askan woods are not inferior in strength and other mechanical properties to the same species in the Northwest States.
 Forests of Alaska cover approx imately 71,347,000 acres, an area as large as the States of Miss ouri, Maine and New Jersey com- bined. The bulk of the commer- cial timber is located within the Tongass and Chugach national forests in the coastal region, and which are estimated to contain s4,76O 100000 board feet of saw timber. Under United States For est Service management, this tim Der will be handled as continu- ing resource, cutting being regu- lated to assume a permanent sup ply. In addition to the coast for ests, there are 5o,ooo,O0O acsre of interior woodland type for ests of great potential value to local industry, agriculture and min ing, although not classed as com- rnercial forests.
 MT. Markwardt's report has been published as Technical Bulletin No. 266. "The Distribution and Mechanical Properties of Alaskan Woods" Copies may be obtained by writing to the United States Department of Agriculture. Wash .ngton, D. c.

to harass the American cause, stopped
in at the Hart farm.
So intrigued were they with the aroma
from the turkey that they decided to re-
main as unlimited and unweicome guests
at the Hart table, Harris being good
patriots. Nancy saw her chance and
knowing that good cooking is not only
the way to a mans heart but also makes
him careless of other things, she be-
guiled the Tories into forgetfulness of the
fact that they and their hostess saw
things political from opposite angles.
Apparently devoting all her time to
her culinary duties Nancy seized the OPP
perfume moment and also seized one of
the guns the Tories had with them and
used it to make the five of them her pris-
oners. She marched them to the nearest
headquarters of the American forces and
there turned them over as prisoners of
war.
In recognition of her patriotism and
bravery, the federal government has
caused a shaft to be erected on what re-
mains of the Hart farm in Georgia.
1t is breath from the past-this story
Of a truly heroic woman, whose resource
fulneSs and patriotism are not to be de-
spised because they figured in no great
American victory or because her story
heretofore has been largely matter of
celoquial history only.
After reading the history of Washing
toms struggles during the Revolution one
is prompted to state that had even ma
jority of the coloniSts been as patriotic
and as courageous as Nancy Hart, the
troubles of the inspired leader would
have been greatly lessened and the Rev.
olution unquestionably less protracted
struggle.

DAWES TAKES A HAND

ANNOUNCEMENT that Chas. G. Dawes,
n ambassador to Great Britain, has been
ordered to sit in at the League of Nations
council in Paris, to discuss the Manchur-
ian situation, gives hope that the United
States will not be permitted to be in
jected into doing police work during the
present China-Japan controversy, this
word being the polite way to describe the
war which is going on.
The hope is inspired by the knowledge
that Dawes is no diplomat, although he
holds what is considered the highest post
IN the diplomatic corps. The statement
that he is no diplomat is accredited to
the ambassador
But the general has a great deal of
common sense of the good old-fashioned
American variety, and we cannot see
the clever orators of the other ma
lions passing the buck to Uncle Sam
through Hell and Maria.
There is every reason to believe that
instead of listening to nice phrases which
mean nothing, the members of the coun-
Gil are going to hear some straight-from-
the shoulder talk which may rifle them a
bit but which will prove good for them.
AS head of the Service Of Supply in
the A. E. F., General Dawes had every
opportunity to see war at its worst and
it is not likely that he will stand for any
thing that smacks of Uncle Sam pulling
the chestnuts out of the fire for some
other nation or nations.
Conservatives who may feel that the
general is too impulsive might feel bet
ter in remembering that the Dawes i'm
pulsiveness is also quite rational. The
occasion seems to call for strong per-
sonality rather than a smooth one and
Dawes is not smooth.

The statement is prompted by dis
patches telling of the dedication of a
monument in Georgia to heroine of the

than $50 years after the incident for
which she is honored occurred.
According to the story that has come
down from the colonial days concerning
Nancy, she was cooking the last Of the
Hart turkeys when five Tories, seeking

"Oh, nothing special" replied
Mrs. Longears, trying to seem in
different like and not interested.
But she did not fool Uncle Wiggily;
that is not very much.
There is some secret here, .
whispered the rabbit gentleman to
himself. My wife is hiding some
thing from me. But, knowing her
as do, I am sure there can be no
harm in it. To the contrary it is
sure to be quite jolly I think So
I will pretend do not suspect her
Of putting up little joke on me. 2"
"Well,p spoke the lady rabbit,
still trying to look indifferent like
and not interested, IF you don't
have to hurry away to an adven-
ture I wish you'd sit on the porch
for a few minutes
"Why?" asked Uncle Wiggily,
trying to keep his pink nose from
twinkling too fast. For if his wife
saw that, she might think he had
guessed what she had in mind.
why should I sit here for a few
minutes?'
ooh, nothing special" answered
Mrs. Longears again, and then she
said: Look at me Wiggy."
Uncle Wiggily looked. He heard
a clicking, clacking sound and a
voice called out:
1--WE got HIM"
"Oh. SO a Bad Chan is after
mel" cried the rabbit. But he
shall never catch me! Come here.
Police Dog! Quick!'
Don't be silly!" laughed Mrs.
Longears. mo Bad Chap is after
you at all, Wiggy, my dear!'
But I heard some one say I've
got him' I heard that" said the
bunny gentleman uncle.
Eyes, I said it." spoke a jolly
voice and out from behind a bush
stepped a dog gentleman carrying
black box which had three legs.
Il got your picture, Uncle Wiggily.
That's all 1 meant"
my pictured" exclaimed the
rabbit, in surprise.
Eyes," gently barked the dog.
Your wife wanted a picture of
you, but she wanted one that looked
natural, like a snapshot. She knew
if you came to my shop and you
knew 1 was taking your likeness.
you would fidget and fuss and not
Hook like yourself. So she hired
Imperial Valley press., 1931-11-12

me to come here and hide in the
bushes. Then, when you went to
sit out on the porch, and looked
happy and free from care and
worry, I snapped my camera and l
got your picture"
"Oh, SO that's what you meant
when you said you had got me;
was that it?" asked the rabbit.
YES, that was it, answered the
dog. Il think I got you looking
just like yourself, a very natural
pose. I hope you will like it
We'll, I don't much care about
having my picture taken,' Uncle
Wiggily said with a laugh. But
if my wife wants it-that's all right.
And I would rather look natural
than stiff and staring as if I saw
Bad Chap. Though, at first, that's
what I thought you were" he said
to the dog photographer with a
laugh.
No, I'm not bad, except that,
sometimes, my snapshots turn out
badly barked the dog. However,
hope this of you, Uncle Wiggily,
will be a good one. III trot back
to my office now, make a few
picture prints of you and let you
see how you like them"
IF they are good I'm going to
have one framed to hang up on
the wall" said Mrs. Longears.
What wall?" asked her husband.
The wall in the living room Of
our bungalow" she said.
oh, mol" cried Uncle Wiggily.
Il don't want to be looking at my
self in picture
"Oh, yes" said his wife, firmly,
and that settled it.
A few days later a big envelope
came by mail to Mrs. Longears.
"Oh, the picture of you'll" joyfully
cried his wife. Lets open it and
see how you look So they opened
the envelope and what they saw
I shall tell you about tomorrow.
Then if the roller skates don't
catch cold when they go out to
rattle up and down the sidewalk
on the pussy cats feet, you shall
hear about Uncle Wiggily's husky
helper.

SCHOOL CLASS
PAYS VISIT TO
POULTRY RANCH

The freshmen vocational agricul-
ture class at Central Union High
school took a trip Monday morn
ing to the FL Centre Hatchery where
they were shown through the place
by George Russell. The boys were
especially interested in the two
Smith incubators, each having a
capacity Of about $1,000 eggs.
After an examination of the in
cubators and a talk on their oper-
alton by Russell, the boys went out
to the breeder house where they
witnessed the breeding Of baby
chicks i'll electrically-equipped, bat

how the baby chicks stand on half
inch wire mesh with a solid tin tray
about an inch or two underneath.
This makes the battery brooder very
sanitary as it practically eliminates
diseases in the newly-hatched
chicks.
Then the small poultry runs were
viewed where here, again, the baby
chicks were always running on wire
mesh and were never on the ground.
The boys were especially interest
ed in this trip because a good many

Market Assumes Waiting At

Soft Spots.

Special Dispatch TO The Star,
:, NEW YORK. April 2a.-Today's curb
market continued weak in compare
lively dull trading. New lows and
prices equaling previous low levels Of
1891 were sprinkled throughout the list.
The market, as in the case Of the big
board, adopted a waiting attitude in
view of important dividend announce
lnents expected later in the day, and
there was little disposition to press
prices either way. The result was an
Indifferent tone, in which offerings
readily found soft spots.
The opening was irregularly higher,
but the buying was quickly absorbed.
A feature from the start was the activi-
ty In American Gas 81 Electric, which
dropped to q new bottom for the year
soon after the opening and then sagged
lower still.
3 United Light g. Power A was actively
lower also, but the general utility list
followed the example of Electric Bond
