LOCAL SCOUTS HARVEST
ING THEIR WAR GARDENS

With the slogan Every Scout Feed
a Soldier" the local Boy Scouts wal
gardens are being harvested and thS
results are materially stimulating the
organizations finances.
In the beans they raised the boys
found a gold mine of over $40 and
when the final accounting is taken il
is thought other crops will give re-
turns proportionately.
The war gardens were located on va.
cant lots supplied by patriotic citi-
zens anxious to aid the Scouts iH
doing their bit to feed the army
When Scoutmaster Campbell left
Mexico, early in the fall, the organi.
zation had quite little indebtedness
against it. Those in charge of tha
finances thought the garden harvest
might aid to lift the debt, but haC
no suspicion the results would be al
large as they are proving.
The war gardens were a success in
every sense. In some instances q
part of the vegetables raised wert
lost, but the majority of the gard
ems were brought through and har
vested in good condition. y

Has Large Class

1t is no wonder that Miss Evelyn
Threlkeld, of Mexico, was surprised at
the size of her surgical dressing class.
Vandalia women are the finest in the
world. They always give themselves
heart and mind and soul to the demand
upon them. They have beed good
wives, good mothers, good daughters,
have both played hard and worked
hard. Now that their country needs
them they transfer their activity
without word or whimper, only the
readiness of valiant souls. No doubt
there are dark days ahead of us. The
brightest spot in them will be the
cheerful smile of our women, serving
with smiles, while their heart is tori
and anguished. No finer type of the
American woman can be found thar
our Vandalia women. - Vandalis

BANK At FARBER IS
ROBBED OF s2,s65.7s

The vault and safe Of the Bank of
Farber were blown open and robbed
of $2,965.79 early Wednesday morn
ing. There were five explosions
heard by residents of the town in the
vicinity Of the bank before the thieves
! departed. Sheriff j. G. Ford and
his deputy Chal Blum, went to Far
Der Wednesday and were present
when the bloodhounds were put on the
trail.
The bank is in small frame build
ing. People living in the buildings on
each side Of the bank heard the explo-
sions but were afraid to give the alarm
fearing the robbers might attack
them. The clock over the vault door
stopped at 1;12 and it is thought this
was the time of the first explosion.
The enighbors report there were five
explosions in all and these were about
ten minutes apart.
When the explosion was expected
two of the men would walk from the
building, close the door, and either
stand, apparently without concern, on
the street or walk to the corner and
talk to another man. They did not
seem in the least excited. They es-
capped, it is thought, in motor car.
The alarm was turned in by the
night watchman at the clay mine.
Very few of the residents of Farber
heard the explosions as every precau-
tion was taken to muffIe them.
Sheriff Ford says there were two
holes blown in the outside door of the
safe and the small inner safe was
completely demolished. The blood
hounds from New London followed
several trails, but finally had to give
up. Judge j. d. Sutton is president
of the bank, and Mr.. May cashier.
Every effort is being made to appre-
hend the robbers. The bank is insured
against burglary.

GOLD STAR FOR MOURNING
Woman Suggests Badge in Token Of
Death of u. S. Soldiers

CHICAGO, Nov. Ia. - A movement
has been begun here for the substi-
tuition for the black garb of mourning
of some designation, such as a gold
star, in memory of American soldier
dead. According to Mrs. Louise de
Koven Bowen, chairman of the
Woman's Committee of the State
Council of Defense, the glory of the
death should be emphasized rather
than its sadness.
"The psychological effect of null
titudes in mourning is not good
Germany forbids it," said Mrs. Bow
en-. "It is not too early to consider
this subject now"

so that when the campaign closes Sat
