APPEALS FOR SCOUTMASTERS Roosevelt Points Out That Nation Needs Ten-fold Increase in Boy Scouts * Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, Hon orary Scout Commissioner, of Nassau county. New York, and members of the Troop Committee of the Scout Troop connected with Christ Episco pal church in Oyster Bay, pitched his tent at Mineola, Nassau county with the 1,200 Boy Scouts of America en camped there. The Boy Scouts cook ed their own meals for four days and on the last day had a rally with wall-scaling, •"staiking," "Cow-boy race" contest, and' 'other Scouting activities. Colonel Roosevelt addressed the Boy Scouts after their dress parade and lauded them for having "made the team" that is lighting Uncle Sam's battles. He urged everyone to do his duty as he found it before hini. Colonel Roosevelt said: Fellow Boy Scouts: Of course I have a right to say "Fellow Boy Scouts," for I see here as one of your Scoutmasters the dominie under whom 1 sit every Sunday. 1 am not only proud of Nassau county for what you boys have done in organizing this body here in this county, but 1 congratulate with all my heart the American people on the Boy Scout movement; and I want you boys to feel this. Boys of your age ordinarily cannot feel as yet that they have done much for the country as citizens, but you boys—the Boy Scouts —are different. Because of the leadership given by your organ ization you are already doing your part. You are on the team now —Uncle Sam's Team. You are doing you bit! And 1 tell you, it is worth while. I do not know a man or boy worth his salt who has not got the desire to be a part of the team that counts, and to do liis share in making it count. That is, what every red-blooded American haa got to feel, or he Isn't worth being called an American: We have got 258,000 Boy Scouts of America and about 76,000 people like Scoutmaster Talmadge, Council President Earle and myself (Scout Commissioner) who are in the move ment as leaders, and I won't be con tent until instead of 258,000 we have 2,580,000. Has No Use l-"or "Harmless" Boys I have got mighty little u,se for the type of good man or good boy of whom all you can say is that he !s harmless. Boy Scouts I want you to count in the game of life. I want you to count now when you are boys, and I want you to count when you have grown up and become men. I believe in this movement with all my heart, and also In that con : stantly growing belief In this coun j try that all of our young men be | tween the ages of 18 and 21 shall j have to have obligatory universal I military training, to supplement what you boys are doing now. The I democracy of our Government must I be based fundamentally on the kind of spirit you show—the service that | you so willingly give. No man Is entitled to a privilege if he does not I perform a duty. You can't, any of you, enjoy the privileges of a Boy Scout if you stay out and don't do any of the work. Kills Catarrh Germs Hyomoi the Most Wonderful Treat ment for Oatorrh Eve* Discovered Do not try to cure catarrh by tak ing drugs into the stomach; it can not be cured In that manner. The only way in wlilch this too common disease can be cured is through a di rect application that will kill the ca tarrh germs and prevent their growth. Hyomei is the only known method of treatment that aconplishes this. It Is the simplest, most pleasant, and the only natural remed / for catarrh that has ever been discovered. The complete Hyome outfit costs but little, consisting of an inhaler, dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last several weeks. This si ould efTect a cure in ordinary cases, but for chronic and deep-seated cases of catarrh, longer use may be necessary, and then extra bottles of Hyomei can be ob tained for a few rents. It Is not alone the best (it might be called the j only) method of treating catarrh, but It Is also the most economical. Remember, that if Hyomei does not help you. H. C. Kennedy will refund your money.—Advertisement. MM STOPS ALL STOMACH DISTRESS Why suffer with that uncomfort able feeling of fullness, headache, dizziness, sour, gassy, upset stomach, or heartbnrn?

Hope and imagination draw for him the wonderful pictures that come and go in the flickering light of the campfire. So it was to us that first night spent under the diamond-sprinkled canopy of Heaven. One by one with serious faces we sought our resting place and with thoughts and fancies jealously guarded fell oft to sleep. • • • Awake with the first gray light! of dawn, we performed Our morn-1 lng toilet In the cool waters of a nearby creek and with the fresh I sweet breath of the new day filling; our lungs, we packed our traps and were on our way. The pale light | mounted higher" In the east and aj rosy blush along the hill tops her alded the coming of the sun. Ra-| diant shafts of golden light shot up to the zenith, and were reflected by the sparkling drops of dew on every leaf and every blade of graft*. The bob-white In the meadows greet | ed us with his morning call The last I star faded in the west, the crescent moon grew pale against the bright ening sky and soon the sun a great,] blood-red ball seemed to fairly leap! Into the eastern sky. Breakfast at seven o'clock In an \ open field was devoured with a rel ish equaled only by that of the even-; ing before. After the meal we enter- | ed a bottom land along a narrow creek and res'ed there until after the, heat of the day had passed and the cool of evening once again invited; us to take the road. Tired, dirty and j hungry we reached the end of ourj Journey with the firm determination that our first experiment was by no means our last. Since that first trip, six years ago, more than nine hundred miles havej been covered on foot by the members of the crowd. Trips have ranged from twenty to one hundred and fifty miles in length and have required from one to three \days' walking. Sometimes our path lay through the drifted snows of winter and some village inn or friendly haymow pro vided shelter for the night More than once we were obliged to break the Ice on the creek for water for our morning wash or water for breakfast. Again when the first green shoots were on the trees, when the violet and dandelion were ap- j pearlng In the fields and tender! blades of rew grass began to car-| pet the earth, the balmy air of sprlns ' found us hiking through the mud of| thawing snows or the mire of! changeful April's showers. The cherry blossoms are on the trees and the days grow longer anil j hotter.

G. | Niesley tells how to care for the seed after selection. His statement i follows: "The first requisite in storing seed corn is to sec that the storage is dry and has free circulation. Corn will i dry most rapidly under such condl ! tions. Be sure that your corn is , thoroughly dry, if not when freezing weather comes the viability will be ! sure to be affecteti. "Experiments at the Pennsylvania . State College indicate that it is not I necessary to have specially heated i houses to dry seed corn. On the average farm, any well ventilated j attic above thp kitchen, or a similar- Ily heated rsom may be profitably ' utilized for storage. If such storage is not available, the corn may be j placed under the roof In the hay ! mow, or in any other frame build ing, ha\#ig a good circulation of air. "Ears should not be piled one on : top of the other, but rather placed separately so that air can circulate freely about each ear. Many differ ent schemes can be followed for the proper arrangement of the ears. Among these may be mentioned; "The tying together of the ears with strings. "The arranging of ears on racks so that mice and rat cannot reach them. | "The driving of nails into a post j or side of a building, on which the | Individual ears can be placed. "When the seed ears have been thoroughly d
