BOY SCOUTS TO The Boy Scouts of America have adopted from now on the International handshake of Boy Scouts, as far as using their left hand' is concerned.

Ever since Scouting has been in America, the Scouts have had their own peculiar handshake, using the right hand, giving prominence to a pecaliar position of the three fingers, which stand for three points of the Scout Oath. Now they have added the feature of using the same grasp peculiar to the Boy Scouts of America, only doing it with the left hand. At the International Conference of Scout Officials, which was held in Paris last summer, it was noted that Scouts of all foreign nations shake with their left hand. Another International feature which the Boy Scouts of America have officially adopted is the star to be worn on the uniform designating length of service. Each year that a boy or official serves he will be entitled to wear a star over the left breast pocket of his scout shirt.

Five of these stars may be replaced with a five-year star. This new regulation does 'not take the place of the service stripes which have been in vogue, nor of the veteran five-year and ten-year pins. It simply supplements them. BERLIN, Feb. 10.

Phon 4 Preliminary planting at the Amer ican "grove of remembrance at Watsonville, has been completed under the direction of Edward H. Lorensen Post and gives a glimpse of what the park will be when the work has been finished and the trees and shrubbery have attained a little growth. The main feature of the planting is a circular grove of redwood trees for which the Legion boys obtained seven very choice specimens. Smaller trees, have been interplanted to safeguard against the possibility that some of the larger trees may not take kindly to transplanting. The main circular group is protected and backed by a mixed plant ing of Monterey pines and cypress.

Only native California trees and shrubs will be used in the grove and a second planting will be made in the near future to fill in between the larger permanent trees of the initial planting. An effective background for the stone and the large decorative bronze tablet which will be affixed soon is provided by a group of madrones. The glossy leaves, rich bark and bright berries of this tree will offer a vivid contrast to the duller shades of the stone and tablet. BEGIN ON SPINACH (By T. B.

Jarrett.) To our surprise the Seabright cannery is still running, employing some fifty hands. This is a blessing to Seabright and vicinity at this time of year, when so little is doing in the way of employment. They are still packing fruit salad for which there is a great demand. They are now shipping to Liverpool and London large shipments of canned goods. Next week they will commence to can spinach, having contracted for 125 acres.

The cannery is a model of cleanliness, as far as 1b possible to. make it so. The large number of women and girls employed, who are for the most part experts, and are dressed for their work, and have a neat and clean appearance. Santa Cruz needs more of these industries all the year round. WHEELER DENIES HE USED TOO MUCH FORCE LOS ANGELES, Feb.

It was well understood by all parties concerned that the final decision as to whether the Southern Pacific and the Central Pacific railroads should be merged, or remain as they are, would rest with the interstate commerce commission, notwithstanding that the supreme court oa the legal issue before it, had ordered them separated. The commission-had the power, notwithstanding the supreme court, to decide, as it that the two roads should be conducted as practically one system, if public interest demanded it. It was also well understood that had the two railroads been separated the Union Pacific would have been the only bidder for the Central Pacific. Editor The NewS. HEAD OF WOMEN'S MINNEAPOLIS, Feb.
