story of love and pioneer life in the
Plymouth Colony of New England.
The hero, daring lad of Wessagus-
ett, by his courage and Ingenuity
saves the settlement from the In
dians and-not quite incidentally
wins the love of Rose De La Noye, a
young French lady possessed of wit
and the charm of sunny France. The
scenes are laid at the home of the
historic Miles Standish and his wife
Barbara, who show the true hospital
ity of a new country. There is a
real william in the person of John
Margeson, and humor is added to the
play by the frivolous Aunt Resolute
and by the romance of Philippe De
La Noye and Miriam Chilings1ey.
1t is a comedy with a strong plot
that holds ones interest to the end
The Red Cross needs more funds and
the proceeds go to that cause.

speaker. Her fish dishes were pre-
pared with bits of humor as we'll as
bits of lettuce, celery, parsley, fat,
lemon spice etc.
She demonstrated cleaning fish but
cutting the skin along the back bone
with sharp knife, removing skin,
head and inside with one cut. The
necessity for removing every bit Of
black lining was demonstrated. Fish
in many instances is $3.50 sub
stitute for meat, but because of odor,
work of preparing and strong "fshy"
taste it is not used as often as
should be.
Fish needs much dressing up, and
variety in serving. 1t needs acids
and such things as lemon or horse
radish work great improvement in
the taste of fish. When applying
these great care should be taken to
rub them thoroughly into the thicker
parts. The same is true of salt and
other seasonings. When fish is boil
ed something should be put into the
water to remove the strong odor and
fshy taste. Bacon rind, salt pork
rind, lemon peel, onion, carrot, or
green pepper are good.
Miss Bull advised canning, sailing,
or smoking surplus fish cought when
camping.
She prepared a number of deli
cious dishes for those present. In
making these she used fish available
in Morris markets. During the fish
ing seasons she uses fish cought in
the community or nearby. Ways of
preparing, canning, sailing or smok-
ing fish may secured by writing to
the department of Commerce, Bur-
eau Of Fisheries, Economic Circulars,

Reports have been circulated that
the Smileage Books were of no use

BOY SCOUTS HELP in
SELLING WAR STAMPS
Canvassed the City Last Saturday
in Campaign to Sell Thrift
Stamps

The Boy Scouts of Morris, under
the direction of Scout Master, Rev.
F. A. Stever, canvassed the city last
Saturday in a campaign to sell War
Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps.
This campaign, which was called the
"Red Card Campaign" was contest
in which boy scouts all over the coun-
try took an active part. Sales of
S647.28 was reported from this house
to house canvass and the young
patriots received a great deal of en-
couragement and many people will
hereafter be regular customers of the
boys for the "War Stamps.
The plan of the contest was as
follows: Five million red postcards
were printed by the Government es-
pecially for the use of the Boy
Scouts Of America. These were sign
ed, the person signing promising to
buy from the local postofice the num-
Der of stamps specified on the card.
The scout than wrote his own name
and address on the card and turned
it over to the postmaster, who for
warded it to the national scout head
quarters, after the person signing the
card had received and paid for the
stamps.
When a scout has sold to twenty
five or more persons, stamps to the
total of $250.O0, he becomes what is
termed an "ace-scout," and receives
an "ace medal" from scout headquar-
ters. The scout selling the most
stamps in the state for the year 1918,
will receive a personal letter of
thanks from President Wilson.
The following letter of commenda-
tion for the work of the Boy Scouts
has been received from J. H. Meyer
ing, Director of Sales Minnesota War
Savings Committee:
Mr.. F. A Stever, Scout Master,
Norris, Minnesota.
Dear Sir:

sistance of this office in carrying on

Yours very truly,

Miss Bull Lectures on Fish.

Miss Bull of the Extension Depart

gave spendid demonstration of the
use of fish at the High School build

of Morris availed themselves of the

fish in so many palatable and delici-
Gus ways. Miss Bull proved herself
