This week we have to record the
formation of two no* Regular Scout
Troops at King City and at Canning-,
fort, These Troops commenced opera-
tions as Lone Scout Patrols, and for
Some time have been doing very sue:
easeful work in that capacity". The
slumber of boys in those districts, how-
ever, who are interested in Scouting,
loss grown so largo, that steps were
taken to locate a local Scoutmaster .
and form Regular Troops.
Thus, whilst we are sorry to lose
them from the ranks of the Lone
Scouts, we congratulate the members
of the new ag and lst C'annington
Troops on their inauguration, and wish
them every success and lots of Good
Scouting.
A Good Turn in Hani and Eggs
Close to 900 dozen eggs were col-
lected as their Special Easter Relief
dood turn by the Scouts of St, Johns
istrict, Que•, a•'1 distributed on a
basis of 6 eggs per person to needy
families. Eight hams also were dis-
tributed, and other foodstuffs. Scouts
An other places put on similar Easter

Boy Scout Apple Day
On April lst the Boy ,Scouts of To-
ronto sold Ontario apples in the
streets of that city for the purpose of
raising funds to help the Scout Finan-
ial Campaign which was at that time
4n operation. Tito Scouts on that day
sold some 200,000 apples and realized
-:".e sum of roughly $5,400, which is
'considered to be a highly creditable
effort. We hear that Oshawa and
Owen Sound are also intending to try
the experiment for their own funds,
end we wish the Scout Authorities iu
whose centres every success.
Steps are being taken to reserve a
special date each year for the sale of
Ontario apples by Scouts, on the
streets throughout the Province, to be
::mown as "Boy Scout Apple Day."
Toronto's Mayor on Scouting
"We would have fewer misfits in the
world to -day if all boys had the advant-
age of Scout life," declared Mayor W.
3. Stewart of Toronto recently. "The
boy who has been a Scout becomes a
man with definite, developed capabili-
ties, who does not walk the streets
looking for pick and shovel or routine
effi.ce work," The mayor's son Billy

This Week's Scout Law -5... A Scout
Is Courteous.
The first Scout Law states that. a
,Scout's honour is to be trusted, and in
our experience we have found that
where a person is honorable it usually
follows that they are courteous.
Courteousness'is cheap! It costs
nothing to be polite and it is probably
easier to be polite than it Is to be
boorish and rude.
But the result of being courteous is
very much more far reaching than if
one is the reverse. The average per-
son has not much time to waste on
people who cannot even be civil in
their speech or civilized in their ac-
tions, whereas one who is polite and
courteous at all times is' held in the
very highest eehem by all who know
Therefore a Scout Is courteous, and
in being so he not only lifts himself in
the estimation of his fellows, but also
he adds to the prestige of the organi-
nation to which he belongs.
Lone Scout Camp
Preparations for the Lone Scout
Camp have beeu tentatively com-
menced, and all Lonies who intend to
be present should notify Lone Scout
Headquarters as soon as possible, The
Camp will be held at Ebor Park near
Brantford, from July the 4th to 16th
inclusive, and the cost of the full
period will be $10.00, not more. Scouts
will provide their own transportation
to and from the camp. This is a splen-
did opportunity to obtain excellent
Scout Training under experienced
leaders, so make up your mind to be
there, and start saving your nickels
now,
Choosing a Vocation
Lone Scouts throughout the Pro-
vince will be interested to know that

Five Methods of Irrigation , ,
lsed On Wester'ii Farms
Five methods are generally followed
in applying irrigation water in farms
and ranches of the West, according
to a booklet recently issued by the
Bureau of Reclamation. ' The scheme
to be followed depends principally
upon the topography, the character of
the surface soil and subsoil, the kind
of crop to be irrigated and the quan-
tity of water to be used.
In the flooding method, field laterals.
are run out from the farm -head ditch
at intervals of seventy-five to 100 feet,
usually on a small grade. By means
of canvas dams placed at frequent in-
tervals, the water is turned out of the
laterals and spread over the field. The
border method consists of the division
i+f the •field into narrow strips by
means of low levees about six inches:
!high and five or six feet wide, spaced
from twenty to 100 feet apart. It is
adapted to lands having a gentle slope.
The corrugation method Consist: or
running small furrows, four to se,
inches deep and sixteen to forty-eight
.ranches apart, down the line of steep-
est slope, and turning intra each fur-
yow a small quantity of water and let-
ting it thoroughly wet the soil. The

INTRODUCTION If. •one may judge
from the meagre records of his 'life,
Isaac was the least conspicuous of the
three patriarchs. For the most part
he appears either with his father.
Abraham, or with his son, Jacob. The
story before us ie. the only narrative
where the interest centres solely upon.
him. On account of famine he .had,
gone to live in Gerar, situated some-
where in the border country between'
the land of Canaan and the ]and of
the Philistines, v. 1. His life there
was gilled with the difficulties and,
strife commonly experienced by people
living in a border country. Under
these trying circumstances he showed
the spirit of forbearance which he had
learned from the example of his la-
ther, Abraham. Strachan writes of
him, "We see in him the familiar type
of the' great man's .sen who is over-
shadowed by his father's greatness.
His position was made too easy, his
path in life too smooth. Everything
was found for him. His parents plan-
ned for him, Eliezer wooed •for him,
E.:au hunted for him and the land
almo t of its own accord yielded its
increase for him. The result of all
-this kindness was that he was lacking
in the ' malities of a strong manhood."
None the less to the Israelites he rank-
ed e. a national type and ideal.
I. GOD AND PROSPERITY, vs.. 12-14.
Verse 12 gives two reasons for
' Isaac's prosperity—his own industry
.and God's blessing. His work in agri-
culture was all the more praisewwortlty
when the traditions of his family are
considered. His father, Abraham, to
judge from his numerous migrations
with his flocks and herds, was obvious-
ly a Bedouin. Now apart from rais-
in flocks and herds .he Bedouin does
not ordinarily follow agriculture. in
' fact today the Bedouin despises the
hard-working peasant who tills the
soil So in sowing the land Twat was
probably departit frau his family
traditions. Rich hers -este followed his
sowing. In interpreting prosperity
the TR•brew mind refused to find in
mere human efforts 0. sufficient ex-
; planation. So after stating in v. 12
that Isaac enw •d in that land, the
s+•a.tt'neet is immediately added, "anti
the Lord blessed hint." God, and in
other, is the real hero in all these
stories. Vases 18 stresses the grad-
uu,d way in which Isaac accumulated
possessions. No hesitation is shown
An Early Spring Garden
Every gardener, I suppose, has his
—or her favorite moment of the
spring, 1 think mine is that warm
day, as near the first of April 'as pos-
Bible, when I take off my coat, roll up.
my sleeves• to feel the sun on my spinel,
and plant the first row of early peas.
Generally the sweet peas have already
been planted, but that is done in a
trench dug the autumn before, and
lacks, for me, the thrill of forking the
still, stieky soil, getting out the reel
of garden twine, and sowing the "eat-
ing peas," as we know them here-
abouts. .
Another moment, sometimes my fa-
vorite, is when the wall fountain is
turned on, and the water gushes from
the lips of my marble mask, splashes
into a shallow basin and fills it, and
then goes twinkling down its tiny run-
way between beds of iris and forget -
r enots and narcissus, and begins to
fill the pool.... Spring never seems
quite to have come to the garden until
the fountain is gushing, until the run-
way twinkles and flashes between the
rising iris spears, and in the night
in calling him great, because he was
a man of much wealth. Wealth was
viewed as contributing to fulness of
life. Its use was to serve Isaac in
doing the will of God; it was for this
that God gave it. Not the denial of
life, but its manifold satisfaction, and
fulness was the ideal of ancient
Israel.

The wildflower nooks in the garden

der -pink spikes of the showy orchids
and thestately cardinal flowers, and
finally the asters, I fear I watch with
greater pride and more delight the
blossoming of my wild -flowers scatter-

IL ENVY AND MEEKNESS, vs. 15-22.
At Gerar, in the valley of Gerar,
and at Sitnah, the Philistine hsrdinen
disputed the possession of the wells:
with' Isaac's herdmen. To the nomad,
Wells are all-important. They create
value for his real estate; They insure
an ample water supply for his flocks,
and herds. In abandoning these wells
each time the Philistines claimed them,
Isaac was therefore, turning his back
upon real values. Yet in doing so he
displayed his greatness.. Three fea-
tures of his greatness stand out. First,
he sat easy toward worldy possessions.
He could acquire them; but he could
also give them up. He was their mas-
ter. and not their servant. Secondly,
he was :t. lover of peace. When strife
appeared, Isaac disappeared. As in
the cas of Abrahatii with Lot, Isaac
won peace with the Philistines by sep-
aration. Thirdly, in giving in to his
foes he showed his meekness. "No-
thing can be saner or .sweeter than
this ancient tale with its apparent
moral for those who think that the
strongest thing is to retaliate, to as-
sert every claim, to cede no possible
advantage."
III. GOD'S PROMISE, VS. 28-25.
In retiring from the Philistines
Isaac took a northerly course which
brought him eventually to Beersheba.
This is the most southerly town in
Palestine, lying close to the desert
which stretches between Palestine and
Tgypt. Here God .ppeared to hien.
Frequently in the stories of the pa-
triarchs God appeared after they had
performed worthy deeds. In this way
they had assurance of God's approval.
The promise made to Abraham was
renewed to Isaac. Abraham is called
"my servant." Thus the promise is
linked to obedience and the fruits of
obedience are reaped by future genera -
.tions. Isaac wade his home in Beer-
sheba. His life there is described
briefly in v. 25. It included religion,
fancily life, and industry—altar. tent..
and wells.
A Way of Life
To love, to feel, to think, to care,
To other people's burdens bear,
To take the way the Master trod
is to fulfill the mind of God.
To walk with cnuragt; and unbowed.
When loss and sorrows round us
crowed,
To cast out fear and hate, In cease.
From useless strivings, this is peace.
To krowv a loving (ettre has .planned
The things so hard to undeestand,
That what has happened is the best
To trust, to hope, to pray, to rest.

HOW TO ORDER PATTERNS,
Summer Glory
From the mouth of Exe to the
mouth of Eeign the coast is uninter-
esting. Such beauty as it once posses-
sed has been destroyed by the railway.
... But inland these discontents are
soon forgotten; there amid tilth and,
pasture, gentle hills and leafy hol-,
lows '.,f"rurai Devon, the eye rests and
- is soothed. By lanes innumer-
able, deep between banks of fern and
flower; by paths along the bramble -
edge of scented meadows; by the sec-'
ret windings of copse and brake and
stream -worn valley—a way lies up-
ward to the long ridge of Haldon,
where breezes sing among the pines, or
sweep rustling through gorse and
bracken. Mile after mile of rustic
loveliness, ever and anon the sea -dm -
its blue beyond grassy slopes. White
farms dozing beneath their thatch In'
harvest sunshine; hamlets forsaken
save by women and children, by dogs
and cats and poultry, the laborers
afield. Here grow the tall foxgloves,
bending a purple head in the heat of
noon; here the great bells of the con-
volvulus hang thick from lofty hedges,
massing their pink and white against'
dark green leafage; here amid sine
dowel underground trail the lona
fronds of lustrous harts -tongue;
wherever the eye falls, profusion of
summer's glory. Here, in many a
nook, carpeted with softest turf, can-
opied with tangle of Ieaf and bloom,
solitude is safe from all intrusion2
unless it be that of flitting bird, or of
some timid wild thing that rustles fon
a moment and is gone. From dawn to'
midnight, as from midnight to dawn,
one who would be alone with nature
might count upon the security of these
bosks and dells.—George Gissing, in
"In the Year of Jubilee."
