"Scouting means outdoor life, and so health, strength, happiness and practical education.
"By combining wholesome, attrac¬ tive and outdoor activities with the influence of the scout oath and law, th6 movement develops character.
"It develops the power of initiative and resourcefulness.
"It helps boys.
"It insures good citizenship.
"The hoy scout movement health¬ fully and sanely offsets the disad¬ vantages which civilization has cauaed."
The organization accepts a boy at the formative age of 12 years. The scout law and oath are constantly impressed on ills mind, particular stress being laid upon their applica¬ tion to everyday occurrences. Thus a code ot honor and duty is Incul¬ cated In his association with his fel¬ lows, all tending to instill In him the greateat of manly virtues, character. He participates In athletic activities which develop in liim a good sports¬ manship and love of clean play.

NEWSPAPER MAN FINDS CLEVER DISPLAY.
Noticing a crowd gathering in front of Chubbuek's drug store window on Main street the oth^r day, a Post man waa pioved to Investigate, as news¬ paper men are wont to be. He found the {Attraction to be a clever diapiar of Pmislar cough balsam, the central feature being a natural appearing dog kennel, with a paper-mache ter¬ rier In a life like representation of the ^ct of barking. Signs bearing the legend "Stop That Bark"; a dis¬ play 6t the orude drugs that the bal¬ sam is made from, and a well ar¬ rang^ lot of the remedy completed the window, which was indeed at¬ tractive and brought many encom¬ iums to Mr. Ault, the hustling mana¬ ger of the "Big Drug Store."

Temple Scott, author and editor, uow head of the publishing depart¬ ment of Brentano'a, New York, has given a remar:taoie tribute to Patrick MacGlll and hla new book, "The Rat Pit," which Is here reproduced be¬ cause It has a widely significant social suggestion as well as an appralaal of the book by a real expert. He sug¬ gests, for women who want to do something worth while, a way out:
"I have read MacGUl's 'The Rat I^lt' with Increasing wonder at the man's power of restraint. He hae lived the life he deplete and yet, un¬ cultured In th6 academic sense aa he Is, he is a born artist at tale-telling. He never permit himself, to get ex¬ cited or to spill over In maudlin senti¬ mentality or yelping denunciation of the society which is responsible.

If women, who are the readers of this country, are really In earnest about their mission in th^^ world, here is their chance.
