SHACKLEFORD MILLER, Jr.,
~ who managed Senator Alben
Barkley's recent campaign in
Kentucky, was in town a few
days ago and is one of the most
delightful persons one could
meet. He is tall, a bit blond,
and sturdily built, plus a most
engaging smile. He ran into
some difficulty at the beginning
of the Senator's campaign when
he received an abrupt summons
to come to a certain place in the
Kentucky mountains to confer
with few political head men.
Mr.. Miller arrived there, had a
long and somewhat meaningless
conversation with these noun
taineers, and finally, being di-
rect soul, asked them what in
the name of heaven they had
really wanted to see him about.
The mountaineerS looked him
up and down and then the
gravest of the lot gave a deep
chuckle. "Well. my boy" he
informed Mr.. Miller, when we
heard about this junior buSi-
ness being tackled onto your
name, we got together and
opined that we didn't want no
baby taking charge Of our

"In this year of 1889, the great

Scout Executive of the Boy
Scouts of America and Editor Of
Boys Life, in rallying the more
than 100000 adult Scout leaders of
the country to the extension of the
reading program of the Boy Scout
Movement. These men, the largest
group Of volunteer workers with
boys ever enlisted in the support
of any social program, will in turn,
as part of Boys Life Week, from

Librarians throughout the country
report that boys of Scout age read
more during that period than at
any other time OF their lives. The
average boy will often read, one,
two or even three books a week
if he can secure them, in addition
to all the magazines he likes best.
Scientific tests have shown that
Boys Life occupies a unique posi-
ton in the publishing world. Less
than year ago group of indie
pendent and impartial investigators
addressed an interest inventory
questionnaire to 100000 boys and
girls. The 24,671 boys who replied
to the question, What magazine

Life as their first preference IN

consistently has been the high
