tarian would address a troop of
scouts and explain the methods of
his particular business to them.
"Once the boys feel that you are
interested in them," said Mr. Welch,
"their energy and enthusiasm in this
great movement will be doubled. It
will be a mutual help to you in many
ways, but especially because these
boys of today are the men of to
morrow. Mr. Wejch is Scout com
missioner for the Omaha council
Boy Scouts. Seventv-five members
pledged themselves to give one even
ing a month toward this work.
"Just at this time the Boy Scouts
need your help more than they ever
did before," said Welch. "The sedi
tion being sown by I. W. W. and
kindred organizations is falling
among the youth of the country.
The literature th&t these radicals
spread is coming into their hands
every day. It is up to you to take
this one step against the menace of
oolshevism."

Currie, Jay Sutphen and Charles
Wagner will meet Monday noon to
outline the club's plans for the year.

Great Events Are Happening

ABOUT COOKING FISH
Fish must be thoroughly cooked use plenty
of salt and pepper. Ocean fish may be cooked in
the same manner"as any fish baked, broiled,
boiled or fried. Fish should never stand in water.
Cooked fish need never be wasted; it can be
made into a stew or delicious salad. A good cook
can do more with fish than any other food. Plain
boiled and mashed potatoes, squash and green
peas,-go well with any kind of fish.
SUPERIOR Id QUALITY and FLAVOR
-These fish are frozen alive from the
cold waters off the North Atlantic Coast.
They are then dipped in cold water which
forms a jacket of ice around them, thus
sealing them up air. tight. Fresh frozen
ocean fish are more reliable than fresh
fish shipped under ice, and are superior
both in quality and flavor. . '
UIICLE SAM'S APPROVAL
Uncle Sam approves this method of distrfbn
' tion because fresh fish taken from the Atlantic
Ocean cannot be shipped in its fresh state to the
people of the great western states. The Boston
Fish Pier Co., through modern methods of re
frigeration and improved transportation facili
ties, have solved the problem, and are now sup-,
plying the tables of the middle west with de
licious ocean fish, heretofore obtained only in
eastern homes. i
