Tne Ninth Scouth Law Reads "A Scout is thrifty. He works faithfully, wastes nothing, and makes the best use of his opportunities. He saves his money so that he may pay his own way, be generous to those in need and helpful to worthy objects." Before a boy can become a Second Class Scout, he must "earn and deposit in a bank $1.00." Before he can become a First Class Scout, he must "earn and deposit in a bank $2.00." Boy Scout training in thrift is a powerful aid in producing substantial citizens. Boy Scouts of today, may you vbe among the most substantial citizens of tomorrow! The Farmers T. H.
