money. for he took only two. Evidently not to show his
bold, defiant courage. One ring would have been suffi-
cient for that.
Maybe 1t was somebody's birthday at home and he
didn't have any money to buy q present, so he decided to
steal one. And while he was doing it he remembered
another little sister who would cry il she didn't get one,

Maybe he just wanted to feel something beautiful IN

d Is the
Anniversary Of
JOHN r

On Feb. Is, 1728, John Hunter, q
celebrated English psychologist and
surgeon, whose researches led to i'm
portant advances in surgery; was born
in Glasgow, Scotland, the youngest OF
10 children.
He received his medical training at
Chelsea hospital, In London, where
his progress in surgery was so rapid
that in the second session he was
able to instruct pupils in dissecting.
In 1859 he applied for appointment
in the British army and was immedi-
ately made staff surgeon. After serv-
ing through the Seven Years war he
settled in London, where in 1855 he
built his famous museum, in which
he studied creatures from all over the
globe. At the time of his death his
contained 1858 specimens
and preparations illustrative Of hui
and comparative anatomy.
Hunter is famed particularly for
his cure of aneurism, q form Of tumor.

Who Benefits Most?

Bismarck Boy Scouts are participating in the national
observation of scoutdomis twenty first anniversary in
this country.
1t is an important event. for it marks the coming of
age of one Of the greatest ~instrumentalities for good which
exists in America today.
There arc many things which might be said of the
Scout organization, but probably the most important
single fact is that very few scouts are found as partici-
pants in juvenile court cases. Few of them get into
trouble of a nature which calls for corrective action by
the authorities.
Participation by the boy in scouting activities is a
sort of insurance for his future. In this day Of juvenile
criminality it is good to know that it is not really so
difficult to keep boys out Of trouble.
A speaker at a local club meeting phrases it aptly.
He says, in effect, this: "scouting's rules are all based
on the theory Of having the boy do something. It teaches
him to do the right thing and shows him how to do it.
There is no hammering at him not to do this and not to
do that. It is constructive, not restrictive. It creates
no mental vacuum"
That phrase mental vacuum" is particularly happy
In that it illustrates perfectly what happens to the aver
age boy when he is prevented from doing one thing and
given nothing else to do in its place. Nowhere else do
we find the same ebullience Of spirit, the same quick
the same instinct for deviltry, the same
supreme angelicism, the same boundless physical energy
as In the person Of the average boy. Nature forces him
TO do something and, left to his own devices, it is as
likely to be destructive as constructive.
How logical then, to give him something to do which
challenges his interest; to keep him so busy doing things
which he likes that he has little time to get into mischief.
Inc mother or father who tells a son or daughter,
don't do that" and let's the matter end there, may not
think that far. They should, however, for the priced
OF the world are the the children of the world.
But outside of the benefit to the boys themselves there
IS another angle to scouting.
1t Is best illustrated by the attitude of q local citizen
OF outstanding Importance who has been connected with
scouting from its beginning in this area. Scouting is one
OF his favorite topics Of conversation and he gets a great
oeal OF personal satisfaction from the progress it has
made.
He tells frankly of his experiences and dwells on the
run which the boys have in connection with their scouting
work.
ana then you ask him, who gets the most fun out of
1t, you or the boys?"
The answer comes more slowly and it is, We'll. in
my case, there isn't any doubt about that"
every mother and father and a lot Of folks in general
might CLEAN some wisdom from that cryptic remark.

Untaxed State Farms
MINNEAPOLIS .Jol1rnaN

NNAAAAAC0HOlS OOUTU8D
The decision Of the Minnesota supreme court that
tne state cannot pay taxes on lands it acquires by fore
closure through the operation of its rural credit system.
Is oad news Tor farmers, and presents a serious problem.
IL means That nearly two thousand farms in the state
are now more or less permanently off the tax rolls, and
tnat the tax load they formerly bore is transferred as an
additional burden to the farms remaining solvent.
During the time the rural credit system has been in
operation, the commissions in charge Of It have placed
q total OF 12,25o loans on farms, Of which 2178 have had
to be foreclosed. That is, approximately one loan in six
resulted IN bringing the land into the states possession.
In view OF the supreme courts decision that such land
does not have to pay its share Of the expense Of govern
ment, there has risen a ~perplexing situation. The state
now has a money lending system which causes every loan
1t makes to be q potential tax boost for every other farm
in the borrowers neighborhood.
Not 9 pleasant situation for the farmers of Minnesota.
It appears from the records that, Of the loans made by
the commission the first two years of its operations. one
IN four brought the farm to state ownership through
foreclosure. That Is buying land pretty fast. In fact, the
establishment Of the system has made the state Of Min
nesota the largest purchaser of real estate that we have.
It y true the new commission has greatly improved
the management Of the system. and that the state has
acquired only l6l farms through foreclosure OF loans
made IN the last five years. But even this has dis
sion. Il, III spite Of the best Of management. the system
forces the state regularly to take over large tracts Of
land. It IS apparent that as long Is the system Is in
operation. Minnesota IS going to continue, to take lands
