In presenting it the acting Field Director sajd : "We have come to present a token of our approval of the Boy Scout work that is being carried on in this church under the direction of your pastor. We know that a Scout takes an oath wherein he promises on his honor he will do his best to do his duty to God and to his country and to obey the Scout laws, to help other people at all times, to keep himself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight. We know that the laws that he promises to obey make a Scout trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, a nation built by sacrifice in order that high Anglo-Saxon ideals might predominate. You Boy Scouts are being trained to be good American citizens. The Junior Klan approves the good work this troop is doing, for we believe that we must have real Americans before we can have the best America. As a token of our approval, I, as a representative of the Junior Klan, present to you. Boy Scout Troop No. 7, this flag.of the United States of America. May the comrades in Troop 7 ever conduct yourselves worthy of this flag. Strive to keep it pure, clean and spotless, and to protect it with your honor, and with your life if such becomes necessary." obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent. "These are principles for which the Junior Klan stands, and principles for which the founders of our country, and the men who suffered, and died for our flag, stood, so we wish to present to Troop 7, Boy Scouts of America, located at this church, with the Rev.

backing the Juniors in their start in the Sunflower State. The Seniors of Great Bend. Kansas, voted to set aside $200 to be used as a revolving fund for bringing hovs into" the Junior Klan there who would otherwise be unable to affiliate. This is splendid work, and forecasts a strong and rapidly growing Junior

I Unit in Great Rend.

Another Senior Klan. that at Tongano.ie. Kansas, voted $60 for the some purpose, and in this organization a number of men personally pledged themselves to give the necessary sum for such worthy boys. This is another instance of the splendid cooperation from the Senior organization. At the first Junior Klan meeting in

Osawatomie. there were twenty-nine buys who wanted to join the great American order hut did not have the "necessary donation fee. Tn this instance, the Kxnlted Cyclops, Kligrtipp and Chief of the Klokan Committee in the Ossaw atomic Senior organization, produced the donation fees personally for the boys, and told the Director to go ahead with the institution of the tii-st class of Junior Klansmen in Osawatomie. Another instance of hearty cooperation. A number of Senior Klans in the Realm of Kansas have stated that they would remit the sum of J3 to boys graduating from the Junior Klan ioto the Senior Klan. .This means, that when these boysiresent their $lu .donation fee to those Senior Klans. with their application for membership in the same, that it the application is accepted, S3 of the $10 wi'l be refunded in .every instance. This is not a general practice, and

applies only to those Klans where the Senior Klansman signified their intentions of showing co-operation and approval of the Junior Klan in this manner. The membership of the Senior Klaus is supporting "the Junior Klan in splendid shape. Hutchinson. Kansas. Junior t'nit reports a wonderful meeting, with 52 boys present. The boys here are all interested, and have their uniforms ordered for the members of the De-

Treasury the accounts are Uept entirely separate ami have nothing in common with the treasuries of the different states. The s stem now used in the I'nited

States Treasury presents such a bal-

anoe ot chfs-ks and methods of bookkeeping, that there are very few errors ever made. In the straightness of accounts anil the correctness of the same, the I 'nil ed "Stat es government far surpasses that of the states, counties or cities. The heads of the different departments hand to congress estimates of what will be necessary to accomplish the alms and provide for the needs of government, so far as t heir respective departments are concerned. Then, i ongress makes appropriations for these different purposes, as near the required amount as can be agreed on. An appropriation made for a certain purpose cannot be applied to another purpose even if it is greater as experience prove, than is needed. Must I'se As Appropriated. For example, if the secretary of the navy should ask for $1,000,000 to he

appropriated for the building of waxi

vessels, and 700.00O for the naval academy at Annapolis. Then, after getting the appropriation, he discovers that too much has been allotted to war vessel construction and not enough to Annapolis. None of the extra money appropriated "or war vessel construction can be applied to (he academy at Annapolis.

hand which i.s. that the national government is the real sovereign power in this country, and the different states are not sovereign bodies and never have been. When from colonies they passed into the condition of states, they transferred themselves from the power of the British parliament into the power of the continental congress. Is Sovereign Power. When the confederation "became the form of government; and when the constitution took the place of the ar

ticles ot cent eneration. tney came under the control of that instrument. The treaty-making power, is a sovereign power, and hence rests where the constitution puts it in the President and Senate of the United States. The states, from their very nature, have no such power.

States are wisely kept out of tangles in foreign affairs by this clause, as they can enter no alliances. For the same reasons, confederations are prohibited. States cannot declare war and this clause saves the possibility of any difficulty in that line. - Fniforn, coinage is the only practical medium of exchange, so states are again prohibited from coining their own. Imagine, for instance.

firaving an Illinois 2S cent piece, which

would not be honored in Indiana, because Indiana had only 23 cent pieces, and wouldn't accept coinage of another state. Pills of credit are included in this clause because during the colonial days paper or "rag money" was issued, and at the clase of the revolution, finaoial disaster overtook many a state. The bills of credit do not include state bonds, a means which states use to borrow money. Neither is a state prohibited from chartering a bank through its legislature, empowering the bank to issue circulating bills. States, as well as the National Con

gress, cannot pass ex post facto laws or bills of attainder, because, as explained in a previous study of the constitution, because such legislation i.s very harmful and submits persons to gross injustice. Contract Must Be Moral. A contract to hold and be a contract, must not be for an immoral purpose. Hence, if a state passes a law prohibiting, an immoral practice, and annuls all agreements that have

been entered into for carrying on this immoral practice, it is not in the meaning of the law impairing obligation tf contracts. For instance. Smith agrees to run a gambling house for Brown. All ar

rangements are made and the gambling house starts. But Smith agreed to run it for five years, and at the eial of the second year, the state legislature of the state in which these men live, passes a law prohibiting the operatio nof gambling houses. Smith would not be permitted to complete the five years, and the law passed would not be a violation of thla 'prohibition, of the constitution.

A CLEAN SLATE "Wail not for precious chances passed away. Weep not for golden ages on the wane! Fach night I burn bte records of the day At sunirse every soul is born again!" From Walter Malone's "Opportunity." That verse up there is just the poet's way of telling us that we have a 'clean slate to start out with every morning. Tf a newspaper man had been writing it, he would have said that yesterdav was Thursday, today's Friday, and it's time to clear the deck for a new issue shoot in' the copy and shoot it fast! No matter whether the poet, editor, carpenter, mechanic, student, or de

livery boy phrases that thought in his own languge the thought is the same. At the close of the day, we've chalked up our slate for as much as it will hold, and we'll have to clean it off so that we can use it the next day. The idea is not, that it makes no difference what you do in one day. Even though you do rub the marks off the slate at riight. and start out with a fresh outlook, your daily "record book" has been registered in your character. Uow'd you like to look right now at all the entries that were made in your book last year 360 of them, for last year was a Leap Year? Bet there are some prize entries in there all right there arc in mine. But the idea is. that no matter how much of a prize dumbell we may prove ourselves to be in one day, we have a chnce to recuperate the next. It's harder to recuperate after making an error than it would have been to go straight ahead and not make the bungle in the first place, but that's that, and we at least. have the chance. AVe've heard the old wheeze about opportunity knocing only once. That's dead wrong. Brother it pastes your door with a bang every morning. Maybe you're asleep, snoring so loud that you can't hear it. That's your fault, not opportunity's. Now, everything on our slates of the past isn't bum. Far from it! There's a lot of stuff that's been chalked up on those daily slates that we'd like to have right back with us every day. Good times say. boy"! If we could only live our summer vacation over every winter, we say! Fine idea but where would we get? It would be summer all the time as long as we could keep it that way, but sooner or later old winter would slip up on us. and then we'd be out of luck because we'd be so used to warn, weahtre that winter's first blow would knock us for a row of icicles. But. let's have a good hearty laugh in memory of the good times that are past, and get down to business with the present. Maybe we don't see

mem right now, hut the present holds just as many good times for us as the past did. Remember, back about a year ago? Maybe you were having the very dickens of a time then, wondering what was coming next. Remember, too, all the good times you had between that day a year ago and today? Well, you're slated for some more good times, .the same as you were then, so cheer up if that what's worrying you. Maybe your case is on the opposite side of the bulletin. Too many good times and no real work dowTi to your credit. If that's it, you feel like a fellow who has been dining on cream puffs and candy steadily instead of meat and potatoes. If you don't feel the need of a more substantial diet right now, you will before long or else your digestive apparatus will give away without warning. Why wait -for the crash if you know: that that is what's the matter? Fool 'em and get down to business before you actually have to. Let's start out with a skeleton outline of our slate for one day. Hero: Breakfast, dinner,, supper-. There tire three things that should appear on every fellow's slate but in such a universal start, every fellow's is a little bit different. All of which contributes to the condition which makes no two of us alike. Some fellows will overdo even this first schedule on the daily slate. For instance, they may have: breakfast, mid-monring-meal. dinner. aTfernoon meal, supper, midnight feed. Look around, fellows, and find those who are overly blessed with averdupoise. Ten to one, they're overdevelpoing this part of their daily slated program. Then, athletics, study, recreation all of these have to be arranged on that daily slate somehow if we desire a well-rounded program. Just how we arrange them and how much time we allot to each is an individual problem. The intelligence we have used in balancing our program shows in the result us.

Everybody makes mistakes sometimes. Our program mav be all arranged, and wc may think that it is a pretty -fair-balanced matter. But the result us -shows that we've slipped up somewhere. All right, are we going to stick by the old program, or show some originality in changing it to meet growing needs? That's the problem of adaptation, which is a fundamental factor of life itself. If we can't meet nw situations, we're out of luck. And now, here's where the importance of keepin a good daily record comes in. Even though we say each day is a new slate, to chalk up as we will, the new situations we meet on these days will have to be answered or solved in the light of our previous experience in answering .similr situations. That's the only background, outside of heredity, thai we have, and if w e've built up a poor background, our solutions will be poor. too. Don't bank too much on that "heredity" mentioned above either. ' If wc have a strong body and a sound mind through inheritance, we're lucky. If we don't develop both through application and progress we're unlucky. Our development of these inherent qualities we determine through our arrangement of that daily program. The better the environment, then, ihe less we'll have on those slates toe ashamed of when cleaning-up time for the next day comes around The better our daily slate records, too, the better equipped and more likely we are to keep progressively cleaner slates. There are lots of ways in which to get the right environment in which to work out those slates. One of the best is the Klavern of a Junior Klan Errors in patriotism, religion, history, athletics or in any educational line that we may have chalked up against us In the past, disappear gradually from our daily slates through the associations we develop in Klavern And the more errors we correct, the more room we have on that slate to add some interesting and worth-while lines. What's the slate say today? Well, you couldn't help that one but now that it's past, rub it off the slate and start out with a clean one tomorrow You have had the experience now. and in the light of it, such an entrv need never appear on your slate again. A clean slate 'atta time'

"C.uess that's right." agreed Kitten.! "hut just the same i don't like to cut my stuff down." "Orders is orders." reminded Kat Aline. "Besides. I don't see why you object. You don't have to send so much stuff in to Big Boy." "Yeh." That's just it.' Less stuffless katnip maybe. Now, what you think of that?" "Big Boy didn't say he'd cut your ketnip any did he?"

The boxing was among members of the Shinnston unit, but the boys are willing to meet other Junior Klan boxers in West Virginia. The Shinnston basketball squad is progressing in fine shape, and though they have the first team well rounded out, it is their intention to put several teams on the floor within the next few weeks. Then, after a series of boxing matches that night, the Shinnston Juniors gave a real feed to all present. There was enough and more for every fellow there.
