WAR LOAN DRIVE
FOR Girl SCOUTS
Twenty Thousand Organize to
Help Push Sale of Third
Liberty Bond Issue.
SPECIAL BADGE AS A PRIZE.
Every Troop Eager to Win Flag Given
by Mrs. Woodrow Wilson,
Honorary President

In 500 cities and towns of the Unit
ed States there are more than 10000
Girl Scouts working for the success
of the Third Liberty Loan.
With no special organization and
with no concerted effort planned by
the national headquarters individual
troops Of Girl Scouts in various sec
tons of the country were responsible
for over half a million dollars worth
Of subscriptions to the Second Liberty
Loan. But for the third loan the Girl
Scouts are organized as they never
were before.
Under the direction of their national
headquarters in New York city every
small troop has an active interest in
Liberty Bonds, whether it is running
errands for a local branch of the Wo-
mans Liberty Loan Committee and
putting up posters or actually selling
the bonds. The girls are giving hours
and hours of invaluable service after
school and whole days on Saturdays.
Selling Liberty Bonds or doing any
work that will help their sale has been
made part of the real war service pro-
gram of the Girl Scouts. A new, spe-
cially designed, war badge has been
created by the Executive Committee
to be awarded to every Girl Scout
earning a certain number of points for
selected war service. And the service
a scout has to give to earn one OF
these war badges is not simple.
She will receive one point if she OBJ
tains subscriptions for ten Liberty
Bonds in ten homes, and three points
are needed for the badge. She can give
80 hours of service under the direction
of the Woman's Liberty Loan Com
mittee and receive another point. Fol-
three points she would have to worl
80 hours.
Mrs. Arthur o. Choate, first vic
president of the Girl Scouts, says mos
Girl Scouts consider the Third Libert.
Loan campaign a great opportunity il
which to earn their honor points.
From the reports we are receiving
they are making splendid little sales
women and helpers" said Mrs Choate
Besides having their war badges t
work for, each troop wants to win tn
flag given by Mrs. Woodrow Wilson
our honorary president, to be present
ed to the troop which gives the bes
service in the Liberty Loan campaign
aside from selling Liberty Bonds
the scouts are investing their troo
money in the bonds. One of the mos
important rules Girl Scouts observe
thrift. They not only save their none
they earn it This they put into
common fund for troop expenses, an
now many of them have converte
t their expense money into Libert
Bonds"

GROWING DEMAND
FOR anthracite
FACING INDUSTRY

The growing demand for anthracite
has brought about many new business
changes in the anthracite industry and
created intensive methods to promote
and increase the output. The opera
tors are working over and planning
new and improved machinery for the
mines; offering prizes to workers to
devise better methods than the good
ones now in use; giving attention to
men with inventive minds in a strenu-
Gus effort to better any end and all
anthracite industry methods, the i'm
provements accomplished reverting
directly or indirectly to the benefit of
the consuming public.
The operators are constantly asking
for new mining ideas from any re-
sponsible firm or individual and have
just created an advanced ideas" body
to devise ways and means to overcome
the handicap of the loss of %, 900 mine
workers since the war and to increase
if possible, the maximum output of
275,000 tons daily.
The United States Bureau of Labor
showed by February 1918 statistics
that out of 81 commodities, with their
relative prices from 1914 to 1918, ONLY
two commodities, potatoes and kero-
sene, has a smaller advance in prices
than anthracite. The 25.6 per cent.
raise in anthracite for the period sim
ply compensated for the higher wage
cost. The anthracite prices, as charged
were approved first by the Federal
Trade Commission and later by the
Fuel Administration. All other COM
modities with the exceptions men,
| toned above increased from SO to zoe
per cent over the normal market con.
ditions during the last four years.

Pay Car Fares AS
Trade Inducement

The idea of community movements
among merchants to draw in new
trade is spreading. Titusville, Pa.
recently tried an offer of free fare
on the transportation lines centerins
in the city. Fares were paid into
the city during certain hours in the
morning, and out of the city along
in the afternoon.
Funds to pay these fares were
raised among the merchants, and
those who contributed were given
display cards to hang in the win
dows. The newspapers carried big
advertisements notifying the sur
rounding communities. 1t was fig
ured that about 500 people a day
were secured, and it was noted that
all of them on the outgoing cars
carried many bundles.
Any town can draw in trade from
a bigger radius by reaching for it in
some such way as the above.

EPISCOP ALIANS
RAISE WAR FUND
OF 100000

New York, April 17-Bishop Will
liam Lawrence, chairman of the War
Fund Commission of the Episcopal
Commission had just raised approx
mately 100000 for work with the
troops in camp and field in 1918. He
also appealed to members of the
Episcopal Church to subscribe to the
Third Liberty Loan, saying:
LAS your representative in war ac-
tivities, we venture to remind you of
these definite duties.
First: The Third Liberty Loan
makes it's demand on every member
Of Christ's Church. The strength
the lives, and the victories of on.
boys and men depend directly upon
their munitions, barracks, hospitals
ships and supplies; and these depend
directly upon your economies and
sacrifices in subscribing to the Liberty
Loan.
Second: For the support of oul
Allies and for our own defense, the
Allies and all our people must have
nutritious food; the soldiers and sail
to fight. The men and women of tbs
Church will not wait for others to be
frugal. They will lead in frugality
they will work upon the farms an6
gardens for the vindication of peace
and justice
Third: To whatever demands the
authorities make-the conservation @;
fuel and light, the restriction Of
travel, and of the comforts as vel
as the luxuries of daily life; to what
ever call for service in the Red Cross
shop or factory, the home, at the
rear or front, the members of Christ'S
Church will respond"

BLOCKADE is A
MOST IMPORTANT
ALLIED WEAPON

London, April neutrality-suspicious.
of The Associated Press.) ---'The
blockade. is one of the most impor-
tant weapons in the hands Of the AL
lies" asserts the British War Cabi-
net. Dealing with the development
nd application of the blockade of
Germany during 1917, the cabinet
says in it's annual report just made
public:
1.-THE chief method by which this
amplihcation has been effected has
been the conclusion of a series of
agreements with neutral shipping
companies. The weapon in the back
ground during such negotiations has
been the British control of bunker IA
cilities and the powers welded by
the Inter-Alhed Charterirg Commit
tee.
"a very considerable amount OF
success can fairly be claimed for the
policy. In the Far East, the German
commercial establishments have been
almost completely destroyed and re-
cent events will probably make it
possible to complete the work.
"Thanks to our agreements with
American shipping companies, the
financial stability of enemy firms In
South America has been very gen.
orally shaken, and in some cases they
have been forced into liquidation. In
other instances, firms containing GER
tain enemy interest have been obliged
to eliminate this interest.
I'm Spain the policy has worked
admirably, and is considered to have
gone far to counteract the more in
sidious methods of German propa-
canada In all countries the moral
effect of the Statutory List has been
very pronounced, and a definite stigma
is attached to the list, and effect which
has been accentuated by the growing
dislike Of the world in general fol
German objects and methods"
The main preoccupation of the Min
istry of Blockade during the year 1911
it is stated, was directed to diminish
ing trade between the Germans ant
neutrals on her borders.
THE neutral tonnage employed II
Allied trade increased by million
tons between the German declaration
of ruthlessness U-boat warfare anC
the end of the year" says the cabinet
THE great blockade event of tn
tween the United States and German,
followed by similar declarations from
or the rupture of relations by, con
siderable number of South American
States This has enabled us and gu
Allies to stop imports to the horde
neutrals at the source.
Public attention has been fixed
not unnaturally, more upon the foo
blockade of Germany than anythin
else, but it is very doubtful whethe
this is it's most important aspect. TIL
evidence is strong to show that Ger
many is also suffering gravely fror
the want of such things as wool, leath
err cotton, rubber and so on.
~ II hoped that we may see con
siderable results in the future froI
the new forms of pressure which tn
entry of America into the war has er
abled US to employ.

THE PLACE FOR THE LOAFER.

The Boston Globe says that the
Farm Is No Place for the Loafer,"
The which is true, of course. But
is there any place for the loafer? The
loafer cannot succeed in law, because
it is constant application and study
that makes the able and generally the
successful lawyer.
He cannot succeed in newspaper
work, because that is one profession
that requires hustlers who are willing
to be up and doing every minute.
He cannot succeed in medicine, be-
cause lazy doctor is an abomination
whose patients are as few as they are
unfortunate.
He cannot succeed in school, be-
cause study work makes the honor
student.
He cannot succeed In the stores, be-
cause employers soon detect and DIS
charge the drones.
He cannot succeed in the laborer's
field, because it takes steady and in.
tenigent muscular effort to make the
successful artisan and mechanic.
He cannot succeed in any walk OF
life, because there is never any place
for the loafer, while there's always
room and opportunity for the hustler.
So where is the place for the loafer?
Has he any place at all
We are forced to believe that the
grave is perhaps his only place; be-
cause there isn't much doing there,
except eternal quiet and rest. Yes,
that must be the place for the loafer.

Germany says the U-boat command
ers have been instructed not to tor
pedo any more passenger ships, but
cannot guarantee that all of the sub
marine commanders will receive the
orders. Germany also promised this
nation, before the United States was
ever at war. that passenger ships
would not be torpedoed-and continu-
ed to sink them, sending American
men, women and children to watery
graves.
Germany asks that the armistice be
left to an agreement of military lead
ersI from both sides, and that the pres
ident withhold approval from any de-
mands "irreconcilable with German
hopor." German honor" indeed, as
if there is such a thing! And when
has it become the fashion for Marshal
Foch to ask the German generals to
suggest his campaign?
