It 1s only comparatively recently in America that we have discovered shrubbery and how to use it. Not many years ago people used to deal in individual shrubg. . One shrub on each slde of the gate was thought plenty. Occasionally .a - little clump Was get out In the middle of the lawn. But when home makers began to ex- periment with masses of shrubs, when they began to frame their houses in forsythia and wigelia and spirea and rambler roses and honeysuckle, they found they had made a transformation. The whole appearance of the place was changed. A house that otherwise mlxhtbemmmonphce.mnpwrm! ting of follage and blossoms ‘Proved wholly charming and lovely. Necessarily with the shrubbery came itrees, both in the parking outside and within the yard. Trees for a back ground, for protection from the ‘sun in summer, and for the delicate tracery ot branches in winter, for the wonder- ful play of lights and shadows—trees | there must be. Moat cities have plenty of object lessons in the effect of massed shrub- bery and trees. It would pay any per son Interested in the appearance of his home to wander tomorrow through the residence districts where shrub- bery and trees are growing in profu- slon, just to contrast them with dis- tricts where follage has been: neg: lected. g It is wonderful how defects in archl- | tecture can be made to disappear by the proper handling of the massés of green nature has put at man's dis- posal.

Your son: probably knows scouts as the fel- lows who wear & spappy uniform, go on camping trips and have all sorts of hikes, Songs and ‘Jolly games together. On your: part, you.may recall how they helped handle the traffic conges- tion” at ‘the last county falr; or how they assisted ‘in ‘Aghting that disus- trous forest fire. That boy of yours! He Is one of the most valuable assets you possess, fs0't he? He looks at you with the clear eyes of youth; but he will soon have developed: into sturdy manhood. His hungry young ‘mind reaches out greedily for food. Is it being fed on cheap ar; on glorious sensationalism 1deals? Your boy can feel himself one | with the ploneer heroes of his coan- try’s history; with Kit Carson blazing a trail through the forest, with Dauiel Boone trapping foxes in’ the wilder- ness, with Abraham Lincoln, splitting ralls. Your boy can become a ploneer scout. A ploneer scout wears the uniform of the Boy Scouts of. America. He studies. all -the fascipating detafls of scoutcraft as described in the Boy Scouts’ Handbook. He learns the scout salute, the scout sign, the scout oath;:+ He acquires the necessary knowledge, takes the various tests, and wins the. promotions, awards and merit badges. How these things ap peal-to a boy’s romantic heart you can appreciate only by looking back into your own childhood. Think how you would have enjoyed being a scout! Scouting . is_one of . the greatest moral and educational forces operat Ing for boys today. In addition to the scout . oath—a. simple_promise such as your boy. gives his mother, that he will o his best to do his duty to God and hjs country, and.to obey the scout law, o help. other people at all times, to keep _bimself physically strong, men- tally awake and morally straight— there is_ the scout law.

Rural Maryland caught it dur-! ing ‘the war, and it did great good. After the armistice there was a’lull, but ‘last year the farmers and the city ‘men got together in a’meeting held in Baltimore and the mutual feellng was revived and set in motion. We now see it at work in the'summer meetings of the farmers and their | your boy. varfous organizations. The value of it Is indisputable.
