BOY SCOUTS TO FARM

The Boy Scouts of America, whose motto has always been, Be Prepared" have now adopted as their slogan, Every Scout to Feed a Soldier,' and in keeping with it the local Scouts are going to try and produce vegetables and thus help to feed our soldiers as we'll as our allies.

 The other special is the Sunday even ing sermon and song service. This is home coming service. We have had but one Sunday evening service in four weeks. It will do us good to get home and have our friends drop in and see us again. The choir will do their best singing and the pastor will do his best preaching for this occasion. Miss Margaret Stubing will favor us with special vocal selection and MT. Umfieet will give us piano solo. The pastor will give his special from the subject: The Verdict of a Cor rupt Jury. You will not want to miss these specials unless previously engag- ed. Come and spend the hour with us and if you don't like the program we will refund your money.

It is not possible | therefore, to estimate closely at this time the total acerage devoted to em- ployes' gardens, nor the number of such gardens that have planted.

 corn, peas, beans, onions and many
 other vegetables. Some of the gar
 dens are over an acre in area, while
 others are considerably smaller.
 A plan was adopted by the company
 last spring to encourage employees to make use of the available land. A form of lease was approved whereby for a nominal consideration and with out delay or formality employees could obtain such land as they could reason ably cultivate.
