SCOUTING NOTES
TROOP 2S

Scouts Matter. Powers and Blotten-
berger together " ith Assistant Scout
master Amos NYe took a hike re-
Gently. rhey started out Derry street
TO Poor House lane and south on that
around the Poor House. Then they
went in the back end of Paxtang
Park. through the Park to Derry
street and east to Feipher's lane. and
north until they came to very
nice meadow leading west. Scout
Powers found a small land turtle
which he put in his shirt pocket,
but it became restless or the pocket
did not suit him. because he began
stirring around and clawed Powers.
Finally Boyers Ice Dam was reach
ed and they crossed the creek and
parked themselves on the bank.
Scout Matter blew some fire into a
pile of sticks. Scout Blottenberger
was the first to show signs of
bit of supper. He fried a pan of
potatoes and after that an egg. Scouts
Matter and Powers followed with
fried potatoes and Matter dug up
can of beans from his knapsack.
A large bunch of pennyroyal tea
was gathered. A few violets and
some very fine ferns were seen.
After cleaning up the place the
party came in by the old Paxton
Presbyterian Church and down
through PaXtang. Thanks to some
honorable citizen who must have
liking for Scouts, Assistant Scout
master Nye was brought in to Har-
risburg, after he left the boys.

ENTERED INTO REST
Mrs. William Paynter.

Mrs William Paynter, one of the
noblest characters and oldest settlers OF
city, who left here few weeks ago for
visit with her children in Iowa and
South Dakota, was summoned to her
eternal rest at the home of her son W.
Fl. Paynter in Plankinton, S. Dak., last
Friday, July II, 1919, after brief ILL
ness Of only five hours.
The remains arrived in this city on
Sunday afternoon and rested at the
home of her son Josiah Paynter, from
which place funeral services were held
on Monday afternoon. Rev. A. FL.
Schoenfeld, her pastor, officiating. The
burial was made in Graceland.
Much of interest and value might be
recorded in the passing from our midst
of this sanity and useful life but space
forbids yet we cannot refrain from
mentioning some of the things which
places the life Of Mrs Paynter in the
list of the unusual. Jane Jacka was
the twin daughter of William and
Margaret Jacka and was born July 16,
1888, in Cornwall, England. When
five years of age she came to Mineral
Point and this city with the exception
of four years has been her home ever
since. On July %, 1858, she was united
in marriage with William Paynter.
Twenty one children blessed this union,
ten dying in infancy and eleven grow
ing up into manhood and womanhood.
Nine of this number are still living.
Mrs Paynter also leaves forty nine

program for Civilian Relief will include
also Home Service work for Soldiers
and Sailors.
Social work would require a trained
worker, such as the National Red Cross
are now training. who would establish
a community center for the supervised
entertainment of young people. A
place where young people can go for
clean wholesome enjoyment. In time
this can branch out into Boy Scout and
Camp Fire Girl organizations, dramatics
for an older set, gymnasium, etc.
If you are in favor of the disposal of
the present fund of the Red Cross along
these lines, Civilian Relief and Social
work, come to the meeting for the elect
ion of officers Friday evening, July Is,
and elect board of directors who will
make this work success.
If you prefer to have the money sent
away for use as the National Red Cross
thinks best, come to the meeting end
elect a board who will forward that
idea. In either case come. There will
be a detailed explanation and plenty of
opportunity for discussion.

FREE CITY DELIVERY OF MAIL

1t cannot be definitely stated just
when free mail delivery will start in
Mineral Point as the civil servile COM
mission at Washington has not yet re-
ported ON the examination for carriers,
The fact that mail will not be delivered
on the sides of streets without walks
is something with which the local post
office has nothing to do. Information
relative to this matter can be obtained
by addressing the First Assistant Post
master, General, Division of Post Office
Service, Washington, D. G.

URGE The YANKS TO KEEP UP
INSURANCE
Monahan Advises Soldiers, Sailors
and Marines Not to Give Up
Policies.

A plea to keep up war risk insurance
has been issued by Congressman James
G.. Monahan of the Third district.
Among the reasons given are:
Soldiers, sailors and marines probably
cannot get another policy at so low
rate or with so many favorable pro-
visions.
Policy can be converted into other
forms of permanent government in
surance within five years, if wartime
insurance is in force at time of appli-
cation.
''It is your duty not only to yourself
but to your loved ones, to keep all Of
your insurance if possible. declared
Mr. Monahan. If you can't keep it all,
keep at least part of it. Even if you
have no dependents, your government
policy is just as valuable to you. 1t
can be converted into government
endowment policy, which. will assure
you comfort in later years.

EXPERIENCE OF A Marine
CORP. ROLAND w. BURGESS.

| From letter written to his aunt Mrs A. D.
Brown, Mineral Point
| About the only interesting thing was
"goings over the top; but it seemed
more like going to drill than that, ex
cept that some comrade would be left
behind too often. The first aud really
only time I was in the first line was
November 1st. We had tackled around
for nearly two weeks getting to our po
sitions. We got into our positions
about 10 o'clock in the night and at
about 80 they began the best old bar
rage they eve: did put over. I'll tell
you, it sounded good to me. That kept
up till about 5; and 5:15 was the zero
hour when we were to jump off. The
regiment was in battalion column, the
first in front and second and third in
succession behind them. | was in the
third They had advanced about one
/ fourth of mile when [ saw wonder
ful sight, about 300 German prisoners
coming out of the woods with their
hands in the air. Farther ahead they
had artillery working on US so that it
was causing our losses; and it also
taught me the art of ducking qnickly;
and it didn't take me long to learn,
either.
The first battalion gained their OBJ
jective about noon, and were leap
frogged by the others. The second
reached theirs about o'clock in the
afternoon and we leap frogged them
and took up the lead; and without any
jective about o'clock. BY that time,
I'll tell you our lines were pretty thin.
I don't think we had half our men with
us at that time. We got up against a
few machine guns there; but they were
out of luck, as our Outposts got them
before the next night; and all the rest
of the Heines beat it, They sent over
lot of shells of every description; but I
guess they were so badly pushed back
that they conldn't get the exact range,
or else they did some mighty poor
guessing. We advanced about 10 kilo-
meters that day. We held this position
two nights and one day, until the night
of the 10th. That night we got in the
lead again, and were to have crossed
the Meuse. The first and second batal-
lions got across, and we were on the
banks; but they blew up the pontoon
bridge our engineers were putting in;
so we stayed on our own side, and the
next morning the old war stopped. We
crossed the river that night however,
and stayed in position for several days.
We are pretty proud of our old Sc
cond division. 1t has the best record of
any over here, except for one thing,
one division captured few more ma
chine guns; but the old Fifth and Sixth
marines are by no means ashamed of
their brave and good part in the war.
I saw Henry Linden couple of
months ago | was on leave in Nice,
France, and he happened to be there at
the same time. l surely had a wonder
full visit with him and it made me wish
pretty badly to be back again in Miner
al Point.

Waterloo Democrat: There is little
doubt at the present moment that the
treaty which President Wilson is bring
ing home with him will be accepted by
the senate, League of Nations and all.
The people have already accepted it,
The thirty seven senators who signed
the original Ground robin were all po-
litical opponents who were anxious to
find a political issue. What is troub-
ling the stand patters more than any
thing else is the fact that under the
new system of things protective tariff
cannot be brought into politics as an
issue.

RED CROSS PEACE PROGRAM


The Central Division of the Red Cross
notified all chapters and branches to
pay in to it eight per cent each month
of the balance on hand at the end of the
war. Objection was raised to this by
the Mineral Point branch on the ground
that the money was raised here and
should be used here as long as there
was need of it. The Central Division
answered that we could retain it on
condition that we carried out in Miner
al Point, a part Or all of the peace pro
gram of the National Red Cross.
They then sent a Red Cross repre-
sentative here to explain the program.
To those who could be reached on such
short notice, as was given, it was ex
planned that we could use the money
here in any or all of the following ways
Civilian Relief,
Nurse in schools,
Manual Training,
Domestic Science,
Social work.
