WITH THE BOY ScoTs § A Boating Excursion On Saturday, May 15th, two patrol leaders and a scout of St. George's troop fook a. skiff and rowed ower to Wolfe Island. The lake was rath- er rough and squally, but when Garden Island was passed the axil was raised and the party soon land- ed on Wolfe Island. Here the daily good turn wus dope, the Scouts tid- ying yp the grounds of the gentleman on. whose land they encamped. "A shelter was made with a boat sl, and 'a fire was soon merrily blazing, on which they cooked ir meal. Bread (baked on a bot stove), pork and 'beans, eggs, seusages and "'ba- con kakoks" made an excellent meal. The afternoon was spent in practis- ing boat management, coming along- side, sailing, etc. Rather late in. the afternoon one of the three fell fnto the water but a fire was quickly built and the unfortungte one was quickly dried. Then a start was made for the city. However, the captain of the Laura D. very kindly towed the skiff seross the lake, while the three Scouts assisted (?) in managing the ship. = They reached the city about 7 pm. after a very enjoyable day. /_.By the Scout Watchman. Ae we go to press word reaches us + that the 2nd troop has postponed the week-end camp indefinitely, The 3rd troop will encamp just the same. On Victoria Day some members of the 2nd troop had rifle practise over at the ranges, We want to hear of more good turns being done. Is it modesty or lack of good turns ? Gat ready for June 3rd. There is a rumor that the 2nd troops adjutant is resigning. He will be greatly missed as he has belonged to the movement from the time of its start in Kingston. It will be hard to find an A.S.M. like him. Some people say the Scout move- medt is military. It is not military, but it teaches that in case of war all should be prepared to take their fair share in the defence of the coun- try. Baden-Powell says: "Every boy shitgld "learn how to shoot and drill, or he gets killed like a squealing rab- bit when war breaks out Men who have seen war know too well its awful and crue) results to remain so called anti;militarists."'

The following message has been re- ceived from headquarters, London, England, through the dominion coun: el : The council of the Boy Scouts' As- sociation desire to send to all Boy Scouts in the British Empire, the heartfelt' greetings of their brother scouts in the motherland on this oat auniversary of the birth of our 200d Queen Vicioria. On this day set apart for imperial rejoicing it is Ftioviarly appropriate that scouts throughout the empire should especially consider the meaning of that portion of the Thrée-fold pro- mise which deals with loyally to the king. It is this loyalty which, to a large oxtent, is responsible for the consolidation of the British empire in one great confederation, and on that sure tion rests the present bond of sympathy and brotherhood between the dominion and the mother coun- try. : The great brotherhood of svouts to which we all belong is foremost in its loyalty to the king and in fostering the great impprial ideals. We now, on Empire day, send these reetings to our brother scouts across seas, in the sure knowledge that ts will ever adhere to the high ) oir founder and chief scout, Robert Baden Powell, our great jeutenant- the Boy E. 3 for the Council of SIR RICHARDS DENIAL VOf the Staiements Made hy W.

The im- portance of the pastoral industry in South Australia may be gauged from the fact that during 1911 wool to the value of £1.933,379 was exported from to Show the state. Tt ds, therefore, gratifying to learn that the outlook for the in- dustry this season is very bright. Referring to the west coast J. GG. { Moseley, M.P., a well known pastoral- (ist, in the course of a pres inter- view, said that the conditions in that portion of the state.are the best which have been obtained during the last ten years "In nearly every part of the salt- bush country dams have been filled and there is a water supply for two years. Some dams that had not been filled for three years were overflowing during the recent rains. Mr. Moseley also stated that the farming aren on the whole of Eyres peninsula, from Port lincoln right up to beyond Fow- ler's Bay, had benefitted by the rains, and prédicted that there will be a larger area under crop on.

GARDEN VILLAGE Begun on a Site of a Thousand Acres. London, May 23.--The building of a garden village was commenced recently at Knebworth, the estate of Lord Lytton, when the first sod was cht by Cel Harmsworth.

Toronto News 3 We used to talk proudly of our posi- tion in comparison with that of the United States. But at this moment we are decades behind Wisconsin and some other states, whofe the whole patronage idea has been kicked into the gutter. If we retain it, it is to our shame. Mr. Foster declares that "Oftawa ministers are harassed by ay fcnorinous correspondence and hound- ed by a patronage system which is simply damnable." We are at the be- ginning of a néw era. The chalrman of the railway board will be appoint- ed solely upon merit, in spite of all the observers who ever observed.
