Skowhegan, Me-, Oct. 7.-(Special).
The $4,000 fund which IL asked Of
skowhegan. to contribute towards the
electric road project received most
generous start Wednesday evening
when Hon. E. N. Merrill said he would
contribute from his pocket $1,000.
Other .citizens present at a. meeting
of the Board Of Trade signiaed their
willingness to contribute when the
committee came to them. Probably the
liyeliest meeting that the Board OF
Trade has held was over this propo-
sition Wednesday evening. The pur-
pose was not designed to raise funds
but the committee wanted further In.

road. The committee reporting con-
sisted Of F. W. Briggs and Hon. Q. p.
Merrill. They said they had been over
the route and believed that facts in
regard to farms and resources should
be presented to the people. Hon. Har-

promoter Of this project, was present

some Of the most valuable farming
country Of the State.
The remarks by Hon. Il N. Merrill
turned tho tide towards enthusiasm
when he said that IA view % the fact
that the Maine Central Railroad Co.
has contributed $4,000 towards this
proposition there could be no question
but that the road would be self-sup-
porting and that the people should
have faith In Il for this reason IL for
no other ana he was willing 20 give
$1,000 becauss he believed that the
ROAD would mean moro to skowheean
than any proposition for many years.
The fund now reaches $4,000 and It
IL necessary to receive only $4,000
more to float the bonds and construc-
ton Of the road may be started. There
seems little doubt now but that this
work win be begun soon. The commit
tee appointed by the Board Of Trade
plans to begin its canvass soon and
with the faith that business will be
helped greatly by the road the bust
ness men will contribute freely. 50,

lection of views of Girl Scout camp
life and outdoor diversions that this
city has ever been privileged to see.
and these activities thus shown are
exactly what every troop makes part
of IT'S training.
Every troop is worthy of mention in
one way or another. but only few
incidents are herein given. as they are
typical of them all.
Troop of Petworth, of which Mrs.
Samuel A. Mooers is captain, is one
of the most active. 1t was the first
troop of Girl Scouts to give a public
old it participated in the Fourth OF
July celebration at Libby Park con-
Quoted by the citizens association. Be
fore an audience of 1000 or more peo-
pie the girls quickly demonstrated
semap aphoring, knot tying. fire building,
cooking, first aid and stretcher work.
1t was also the first troop to go
camping, as summer before last 1t
went to Great Falls for a week. cook
ing and living outdoors and sleeping
in tents.
Troop II of Tenleytown is another of
the most progressive of troops. Mrs.
Norman Jones has transmitted her en-
ergy and some of her ability to her troop
of thirteen. Right now they are pre-
pairing to set the, incubators so they
will have a goodly supply OF chicken to
fry when they go camping next sum-
mer. They have canned quantities of
special features at their meetings. one
of the most recent of which was a
lesson in darning.
These girls wear uniforms of blue.
and what is more, they make them
themselves. under the direction of their
captain. During their stay at Sun
flower Lodge the past summer they
had wonderful times. with games.
swimming and scout work. They killed
a small copperhead snake, took it back
to the house. skinned it and prepared
the skin for their museum collection
Shortly after they wanted a cake, so
one of the scouts made one, but found
she could not bake 1t, as the little
stove had no oven. But the lack of n
mere oven is nothing to a Girl Scout
She simply put the cake in the irving
pan on top of the stove and baked
1t there.
Troop is recently decided to take a
long hike and to accept the lead or

Indeed, this movement seems to me
to be really a great feminine melting
pot. a crucible into which is poured
girls from every walk Of life and every
social class. The society bud. fashions

maids from homes of wealth. mingle
in fraternal competition with their sis
ters. many of whom know the sting of
poverty and the grind of labor.
Put through the scout training,
which they all must take alike, in which
merit Is the only distinction, they come
forth splendid women. ready to cope
in the principles that make for the
best service in any plane of life into
which fate may toss them. AS the
mothers of the coming generation, they
are equipped with a mental strength
and physical elasticity that Is a guar
antee for the quality Of citizenship Of
their sons.
Moreover" concluded Mrs. Rainsy,
Evening star., 1915-12-05

there is no other movement that so
takes hold of the girl herself She
revels in the athletics and all OF the
hikes and outdoor activities that bring
her In closer touch with nature. and she
keenly enjoys the competition for the
awards and honors All the while the

derstanding Of herself. her home. her
parents and her relations. duties to
them all. as well as her duty to her

In Washington, not quite two years
ago. the first troop was organized by
Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter. who has spent
many years in all kinds of uplift work
for girls From out of the wealth of
her varied experience in church and
philanthropic work, Mrs. Rafter felt
that in this movement she found the
most appealing and most vital Of all
interests for the growing girl. Ae'
