LAUNCH OUT INTO
The DEEP," TEXT or
ADMIRABLE SERMON

Rev. Herman Guhse continues to
delight the Palisade Church congrega-
lions. He is young man of excel
lent ability and great promise. And,
incidentally, he has his heart in his
work of administering to the spiritual
welfare of his hearers. No Young d.
vine who has filled the Palisade pull
pit has put more natural feeling into
his sermons, and he breaches by a
form of emphasis that is unmistak-
able. Besides, he throws much earn
estness into his words and great
deal of emotion. Sometimes he is
given to the most tender illustration,
too, which invariably commands both
attention and appreciation. His man
ner of delivery is pleasing also. He
never rants, and chooses his subjects
for discussion with an eye to making
the application to every hearer
Rev. Guhse's sermon last Sunday
was from Luke V, Launch out into
the Deep" suggestion to Peter, the
fisherman, who told the Saviour he
had fished all night without, results.
AND so Peter went to deep water and
made great catch The application
of the text to our daily lives was
made in one of the most fOrceful SER
mons ever heard in Palisade, full of
deep religious conviction. and practi-
cal advice of how to attain the heights
in Christian effort. 1t was u sermon
OF great power, and at least two OF
his Illustrations brought out the
depths of pathos till there was scarce
~ dry eye in the church.
Previous to the sermon Rev Guhse
talked to the children seven or eight
minutes, using an ordinary express
tag as his object lesson. This part
of the service was1very enjoyable also.

WHERE THE SCOUT MADE GOOD.

Change is a pleasant and a restful
experience, but these are neither pleas
ant nor restful days. Unless scouts
and other citizens stick to their Jobs
like soldiers until the war is won,
we will have change all right-such
a change as Belgium and France ex-
perienced four bloody years ago.
In all their campaigns Of govern
ment war work the scouts had a duty
to perform and they did it joyously. It
means that the Boy Scouts of America
have arrived.
The United States Of America looks
upon them as part of it's working or
ganization. The government makes
no more apology for commanding the
scouts than for issuing orders to the
Atlantic feet.
The scouts have earned this proud
distinction. If any scout persists in
asking change. his scoutnaster will
tell him bluntly that there Is just one
other thing to do-join the slackers.

OIL STOVE IN GARAGE
GIVES PALISADE A BIT
OF EXCITEMENT


An alarm of fire in Palisade is SO
unusual that when one is given the
town turns out to see what's up and
burning. Last Wednesday the calm
and quiet of the village was disturbed
about z 80 o'clock by the sound of the
big fire gongs, and both hose reels
were hauled out in jiffy. The fire
proved to be In the A. F. Beckmann
garage, where they had thoughtlessly
used an oil stove, and which had from
some cause or other ca4ght fire and
soon ran into blaze. A number of
neighbors ran in, and one of them,
Mr.. Elsie, threw the liquid contents of
a bucket, water being in the same, and
at once quenched the burning stove,
or, rather, the Oil in 1T. No damage
was done, and the boys put the ma
chimes up and went along.

SCOUTS FIRE-MAKINc TEST.

The most important part Of the scout
test in fire making is to be sure that
the scout will never, under any condi-
tons, build a fire which could get be-
yond his control, or fail to extinguish
the fire even to the last spark before
leaving it.
Thousands of acres of valuable wood
land, scores Of homes and large acres
of valuable crops have been destroyed
as result Of carelessness in starting
or leaving fires.
The scout should know how to lay a
fire under any conditions-on stony
ground, on heavy grass ground, In tim
her land, and under these three condi-
tons in heavy rain.
He should describe the following
i1res: The hunters fire, the trapper's
fire, the Indians fire. The question
Of materials for the fire is one which
has troubled some scoutmasters.
Should the boy be allowed to use pa
per or dry kindling carried in the hav-
ersack, or oil any other material
which he would not ordinarily find in
the woods or on the plains? In most
cases scoutmasters require the scout
to build the fire without any Of the
products Of civilization except matches.
Some have reported that they even
require the fire to be built without
matches.

SCOUTS HEAR INDIAN TALK
Boy Scouts Of America.)


One night while camping on a spot
where the celebrated renegade Indian
Simon Girty, camped about the year
1900, the members Of Troop No. 8 Of
Williamsburg, Pa, were entertained
around the campfire by stories Of those
pioneer days.
When their interest had been reused
to high pitch, they were startled BY
seeing an Indian chief in full war cos.
tune who suddenly stalked from the
woods into the circle about the camp
fire.
It was several minutes before any
boy felt sufficiently at ease to ask any
questions. The chief broke the silence
by expressing himself as being inter-
ested in the young pale-face scouts
and their work. He explained to the
boys the costumes and habits Of In
dians from the time they were born
until they became warriors.
The scoutmaster. In inspecting the
camp about midnight, was amused by
finding some stout clubs outside num-
Der of the tents. The scouts were pre-
pared for any less friendly visit which
might be paid during the hours of dark
ness.

LOANS OR TAXES

The war is costing a billion dollars
month 1t viii cost at least that
much for each year the war lasts,
Much of it comes from taxation. 1t
is therefore as plain as day that as
long as tho war lasts, the more must
each OF us dig into our pockets to
pay taxes.
1t can be seen that aside from the
motives of humanity there is potent
reasons why we should endeavor to
end the war in the shortest time. We
can do that by investing in War Sav.
ings Stamps, getting in return not
only liberal interest but avoiding
additional taxes.
We can all appreciate the fact that
an early and successfpl Termination
of the war will save lives and pre-
tvent misery and suffering. That rea

Pennsylvania Doubled
Bean Crop Last Year

Harrisburg Pennsylvania almost
doubled its production of dry beans IN
1917. in response to calls for more
foodstuffs, according to the state de-
nartmcnt of agriculture. There were
1900 acres devoted to beans on farms
in the state, exclusive of the war gar
dens," and they raised 100000 bushels
last year, against $4,000 bushels in
1915.
The department claims that Penn
sylvania, with a production of $4,000
bushels led the country in buckwheat
for 1917. in spite of the havoc caused
by September frosts. Fourth place is
claimed for the state in the matter of
hay production and seventh in winter
