The training given Hhe Boy Scouts is of the very highest order, that which will make better men and better citizens. I wish that every boy in the commun "ity could become a well trained scout. The citizenship Of the next generation would then be immeasurably James H. Clarke , raised above the present standard. American Fork. The Boy Scout work is the biggest work of mod ern times. It has taken its place in every church, lodge :or organization, Latter-da-y Saint, Jewish, Catholic Protestant! Masons, Odd Fellows, and others, all alike, There is no class in Boy Scout work, except as gained by merit It not only teaches patriotism, but puts it into practice. Any boy who grows up without going through scouting loses a life opportunity, and no man i a true father who fails to see to it that his boy be comes a member of the Boy Scouts of America. Pratt P. Thomas, Spanish Fork. The Boy Scout movement instills into the heart of the boy many valuable traits of character, such as obedience, appreciation, loyalty, reverence and charity, besides affording them an opportunity of being prop erly directed in their social and recreational activities. State Senator J. Wm. Knight, Frovo. Scouting lays a firm foundation for efficient in dustry, awakens a keen sense of civic responsibility, and fosters a .iust recognition ot the rights of others. W. Lester Mangum, manager Springville-Mapleto- n Sugar company. In the beginning of the Boy Scout movement I was not very enthusiastic, but since I have found out its true meaning, I am for it heart and soul, for as I believe, it will do more for our boys in forming character and good citizenship than any other one thing that I Lehi. know of. Abel J. Evans, attorney-at-TaI do not know of any movement that fills the of the saying of the Savior, "Overcome evil with good," than theBoy Scout movement as pertaining to boys.

I I heartily endorse the Boy Scout movement. have been an American citizen for 57 years, and in all my research to find what would make a good and true American citizen, 1 have never found anything to satisfy me so much as I find in the Boy Scout book.

Down in the tropics, takes place one of the most interesting peculiarities of the great mystery, life. This one deals with a partnership between plants and insects for mutual protection.

"These minute insects have become expert mush room growers," says Dr. F. J. Seaver, who tells the story in a lecture at the New York Botanical Garden. The ants turn from the trees and attack certain jungle plants. Maybe these plants have intelligence, maybe not. At any rate, they seek a means Of Drotection. Prfi8t.n!

Colonies of fighting ants observe that the plants have provided ideal housing and feeding quarters. They move in. And they protect their homes.
