HOW do you build a crackling fire when all of the wood is damp? HOW do you stretch a shelter tent and how do you make your camp? HOW do you cook your bacon and spuds so none of the stuff will burn? HOW do you know the things to take and the things you must leave behind? HOW do you make a bed of boughs that's comfort ably designed? HOW do you know the trail to take and the way that you should return? GO to the Scouts, go to the Scouts, go to the Scouts and learn! WHERE are the streams that teem with fish and how do you travel there? WHICH is the, trail to the piney woods whose fra grance is on the air? HOW can you keep to a faint blazed trail as your only thoroughfare? WHAT is the secret of your craft and where did you get your key? HOW do you pilot a slim canoe through rapids that seethe and toss? HOW do you pick the safest ford when there is a stream to cross? HOW can you always find yourself wherever you chance to be? FOLLOW the Scouts follow the Scouts, follow the Scouts and see ! WHAT did you do to get so brown, so husky and strong and straight? WHERE did you learn that easy walk, that breezy and swinging gait? AND where did you get that fearless glance that challenges chance or fate? AND why do you grin and blush a bit yet hold your head so high? WHY do you spring so ready to answer a call for aid? AND why do you tackle each job you find as if you had learned the trade? AND why do you view this big round world with a confident, cheerful eye?

Dunham, sup ervisor of intenerant service of the Nebraska State Employ ment Service, and Elden Peter s o n, intenerant interviewer, were in the city for a few hours looking after the needs of their office among the unemployed of the community. They state that owing to the mounting number of unemploy ed in this city, the office will have a man here each Friday in the future, instead of every two weeks as was the plan in the summer. The state representatives have noted the marked increase here in the last two weeks in the ranks of the unemployed, both men and women, and as this is a part of their job they are anxious to see that every one receives the compensation that he or she may be entitled to draw. Mr. Dunham states that the State Employment service is planning on putting on a sur vey in Plattsmouth of the num ber employed, and those out of employment at this time. It is the plan to reach all business houses as well as in dustrial plants to learn what the employment setup is at the peak, also during the slack sea son. In this work the Employ ment Service hopes to have the co-operation of the Chamber of Commerce and other civic bodies. It is cne of the objectives not only to see that the unemployed is given compensation but also Expert Motor Rebuilding. Scientific Motor Tune-up.
