like to print everything that every- 1 ——
body wants printed;-but with limit

his best judgment in the selection
of matter, so the editor just does th<s
best he can in selecting his own
matter.

Boy Scout
Scouting builds into a boy's
make-up strong fibres of character.
It makes him staunch of heart and
strong of mind. It has proven
itself to be a builder of true man
hood. Every Boy Scout is an in
fluence for good where he lives.
Every Scrut organization helps to
encourage and preserve the lessons
of clean living, of manly courage,
of industry and thrift, of tte obli
gation of helpfulness to those need
ing help, and of all the things that
make for right living.
Scouting makes real Americans out
of thoughtless youths. If every boy
in America were a member, our
country soon would have the finest
citizenship in the world. If every
boy in the United States were a
sccut there would be few, if any,
gangsters and gun men at the end
of twenty years. If all the boys
wtie Scouts there would be no need
for any newspaper to publish lengthy
articles regarding the Nation’s
Morals.
But Scouts hsve other training
beside moral development. They
are tra'ncd in life saving. In the
Florida disaster a few years ago the j
Bo Scouts saved hundreds of lives.
They arc active not only in time of
disaster, but in every day life. They
a’e taugh) first how to take csre
of themselves. They are then taught
hew to care for others. The Boy
Scout motto: “BE PREPARED,” is,
if applied to life generally, the
greatest possible factor in success.
