ALBANY, OREGON, WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY II
BOY SCOUTS' MONTH
if kor nro finv norpnt whn: i-vear-old sons are not
Boy Scouts and who know little about the movement, this
is the month tor them to learn someimng 01 uws gicm auu
growing organization.
Ten years ago the Boy Scouts of America were organ
ized. Today there are active divisions in every state in the
Union, in Hawaii, Porto Rico and Alaska. There are many
thousand adult leaders and 370,000 boys.
What things is this small army of active boys learning .
Every Scout is pledged to do a good turn daily for other
people any act of friendliness, without thought of reward,
from genuine good-will. Scouts are trained to be useful to
other people, to run errands, to lend a hand in emergencies
by helping the stalled autoist, putting out a fire, rescuing
drowning or injured persons, preventing panic. Scouts know
how to build fires too, at the proper time and place and in
the quickest, mos tefficient way. They are trained to work
with skilled hand and cool head and to give unselfish, volun
tary, intelligent service.
The Scout oath, which every Scout in the land renewed
on the evening of February 8, is worth reading over and
thinking about. It furnishes a guide to daily living which
any boy or girl, man or woman, could adopt with pride and
self-respect. It is:
"On my honor I will do my best:
1. To do my duty to God and my country, and to
nhrv thp Sennt law!
To help other people at all tmes; .
To keep myself physically strong, mentally
awaice, ana moraiiy siraigm.
That is a comprehensive' pledge and one not easy to
keep. But is it not a great thing to have 370,000 American
boys doing their best to keep it?

CABINET MEMBERS IN CONGRESS
The oft-discussed suggestion that cabinet members be
given seats in Congress has been given practical form in a
bill introduced by Representative Mooney. His measure
provides that all members of the cabinet shall be entitled
to seats on the floor of the House and Senate, with the right
to participate in debate and furnish information concerning
matters relating to their several departments.
Such an arrangement is common abroad, and might
well have been introduced at Washington long ago. A great
deal of discussion in both houses of Congress js aimless and
confused because the speakers lack facts which could be
easily furnished if the' head of the department concerned
was present. The administative heads, too, are often at a
disadvantage because they do not know what the legislators
are doing about matters of moment to them. The lack of
co-operation along this line is one of the big causes of gov
ernmental inefficiency and of prejudice and distrust between
the executive and legislative branches.
In one particular the Mooney bill seems to go too far.
It makes attendance of the cabinet officers compulsory a
certain number of times a week in both houses, unless they
are expressly excused. That is probably unnecessary, and
would be likely to waste the time of busy men. They could
probably be trusted to attend on occasions when their pres
ence was desirable.

Waiting by the lattice, my Fair, my

Uvntly, irently, with asking eyes,
And hands out-flung, and odorous
hair.
Breath of thy breathing is every

Spell of thy spell 1 feel it Tfeel
Touch of thy nliius shade on mo,
Picas of thy pleading upon me steul
Drawing my dullying heart to heo.
Show me thy face at the lattice now,
Catch me with haloes and bring me
up;
Call from the garden, and bar) thy
brow.
Give me to drink of thy paven om
Lute me thy wish through the pome
granate flowers,
Show me thy hands, both thy jeweled
hands,
Mellow with spikenard and gulden
bands.
Take me and wake me with all they

HARMONY
(By ('.rare F- Hall)
Whence comes the wondrous harmony
that trills from human throats?
And whence the honeyed melody in
wild bird's thrilling notos?
Who taught the crystal brook to sing?
The eagle fierce to scream?
Who gave a language to each thing
in life's gigantic scheme?
The ruffled grouse has his special
drum, the coyote's call we hear.
The Bob-Whit's tone is never glum
he speaks in accents clear;
0, who ran doubt that angels sing in
chorus of the sky,
When we from every living thing
hear music passing by ?

All Foods Arc Delicious When
Cooked the Electric Way
I EASjii coo 1
The art of cooking received its greatest impetus
when the Electric Range was developed to its present
state of perfection. Never before were such dainty
foods prepared. Bread, light as snow and golden crust-.
cd biscuits, Cakes, and pastries of surprising goodness,
testify to the oven of the Electric Range with its insu
lated, heat retaining walls and its evenly distributed
heat.
A revelation awaits you when you first use an elec
tric range. Ask some friend who owns one if this is not
so. Then investigate the modern electric way of cook
ing for use in vour home.
