PERSHING WRITES TO SCOUTS
General John J. Pershing has always
been a strong friend of the Hoy Scouts
of America.
He knows to the full the value of
the many-sided service they gave in
the war.
He fcpows ihe value of scout training
in producing a well-equipped manhood,
fo;j there wore a hundred thousand
former scouts in the army In France.
General Pershing has sent this let
ter to the president of the Boy Scouts
of America, urging them “to 'remem
ber’* :
“On July 2. r >th, last year, While we
were in the midst of the desperate bat
tle of the Marne, I sent a greeting to
the Boy Scouts of America from our
‘soldiers in France, and urged them to
keep fiflth with the scout laws.
“Those were days when old and
young realized the necessity for every
one to serve the country.
“Today, without the pressure of a
great war to hold our attention upon
the necessity of good citizenship, it is
‘Important that the lessons of the war
in patriotism and devotion be always
borne in mind, ns Hie obligntfons in
pence time are as urgent as in war.
Let there be no relaxation In your
efforts.”

Going Her One Better.
“Jack Gribble has invited me to take
a ride in his airplane,” said Misa
Blobbs, gayly. - " * v
“Indeed?” replied Mi«j! 8Ubbs, ip
her coldest manner. "I have been in
vited to cruise with a party of frieiidi
for 30 days in a dirigible.” - r
Here are two sample leinarks made
by a Boy Scout mid by Ids father, each
without tlie knowledge of the oilier,
after a father and son hike. The
scout said:
“I never knew what a darned good
fellow my father was till he came here
and Camped with me. He always
seemed like a stern man, whose big
idea was to punish me when 1 was not
good, and then I did not want to he
feoml. But now lie lias been here, ami
we have been fishing together, and he
Inis shown me a lot of Interesting
tilings that,! never knew before, and
that I never would suppose he knew.
Now all of a sudden lie seems like a
chum of mine. I hope he'll*keep rigid
on coming up.”
Within an hour the father of the
same boy had said: “I’ve just realized
my boy for the first^ time. Say, he
isn't a baity any more, and I’ve been
handling him like one. I’m going to
change my* tactics nnd’Heep on know 1
ing him better.’’^, . . >
On these ld*<” s . the hoy entertains
his fatlier at the enfitp and at the
other doings. He prfpnres the tent
for him, sharing his own, which no

“The difficulties of y<TtTr“IBTrgflll*«

F OR five days after the million-dollar fire at Joims Hopkins University at

BOY SCOUT TROOPS IN MILL.
One of the n*ost interesting letters
that-have ever come to Ihe national
headquarters of the hoy Scouts of
America contained Ihe applications ot
five troops of boys employed in cotton
mills in Georgia.
Southwest l.aGrange is the post of
fice cqpter for the four communities
where these great mills are located.
There is one troop eayh in the Unity
Cotton mills, tlie Unity Spinning mills
and (lie Elm City mills and two troops
for the Hillside Cotton mills.
These^ lads who would be scouts
have a vision of tlie future good Citi
zenship upon which America must rely.
Tlie Fuller K. Callaway company lias
provided nn auditorium, to be arranged
in five separate compartments, one for
each troop. About 20 of the men in
the mills will give time to helping the
boy scouts ir tlie program.

Liberty Bonds unharmed.
SCOUT'S DAILY GOOD TURNS.
Tlie boy scouts in Troop No. 21, of
New Haven, Conn., cleaned the church,
took up the carpet and carried out the
accumulation of ashes in the cellar.
In Paducah. Ky., there are six large
inonutnenis. Boy scouts, noting that
they looked rather crusty, took It upon
themselves to clean and polish these
and keep them clean In the future.
Special troops have been assigned to
each meuument. One troop is reepom
sthle for painting the city flagpole
and keeping It shining.
In Finland fifty years ago there
was not. a single high school for girls
ami now most young women whose
parents can afford it are given a uni
versity education.

A Typical Interior Arrangement of an
Allitcel Underwriters' Class B Ssfe.
Every hour of everjfl^y someone’s valu
able * records are destroyed by fire —simply
because of the lack of proper protection.
Don’t take chances on losing your records.
This Allsteel Safe has passed the fire test
of the Underwriters’ Laboratories—a test far
more rigid than any ordinary fire. •
The lightest safe of its kind made, the
Allsteel has a greater interior capacity than
any safe of similar type. You can select the
size and interior arrangement which suits
your exact needs.
-Let 11,3 show yod the exclusive advantages
of this handsome, modern Allstocl Safe. .You

furniture. It is the equipment tliat belong#
