GIRL SCOUTS BEGIN
 ANNUAL FALL WORK
Over 200 Girls Between Ages of
 10 and Y Years in Council

At meeting of the Girl Scout council last Wednesday night definite action was taken to forward work of reorganization. Mrs. T.. A. Sprlgue as scout commissioner for New Brit ain, Newington and Maple Hill met with the council representatives from all 113 districts. 5 councillors were present. Miss Ruth Locmis, general secretary of the local scouts made full report on the work of the past year. It was gratifying to the leaC" CTS that seven troops had been in active existence during 1918, 1919 aud that several more were ready to start imm ediateIy. The total mem bership includes over 200 girls between tho ages of 10 and r years under the following divisions: Troop 1. South church; Troop 2, Center church; Troop 3, Methodist church; Troop 4, Episcopal church; Troops and 6, Y. w. c. A.; Troop ', Stanley Me- m orial.
 There are the official organizations and registered troops recorded at the national headquarters ir, New York.
 Attention will be given at once by the missioner to see that as many troops as possible be organized this coming fall. Active work will start this week through the troop com mittees in the various churches and reports of these troop committees selection of captains will be made at the next meeting. Such selection will necessarily be left to tre individual church or school for final determina- tion., The desire of the council is simply to stimulate the interest of ali groups in the scout movement.
 The Girl Scout organization seeks to promote the 10 scout laws Of, truth, loyalty, Helpfulness, frlend- Illness, courtesy, kindness, obedience, cheerfulness, purity and thrift.
 The reorganization of the New Britain council will attempt to create the growth of this work here in New Britain, to carry on the scout work efficiently and to provide help for ali

WORLD FOOD PRODUCER.

Few Americans realize the extent to
which their country has become food
producer of the world. A full account
of the distribution of American food
stuffs has not been published but the
National City bank of New York has
published a statement telling the story
in part and showing conelusively that
the United States during the past year
has literally "fed the world
This statement shows that during the
year 1913 the value of foodstuffs sent
out of this country exceeded two hill
lion dollars and was over four times as
large as any year prior to the war This
tremendous increase is not due to high
prices alone. Here is comparison of
the amounts of some foodstuffs export
ed during the past year and previous
years:
Fresh beef, in 1918 540,0O0,0 900
pounds, in 1914 100000 pounds;
bacon, in 1918 100000 pounds, in
1914 less than 20O,OOo,O0O pounds; con-
densed milk, never exceeded prior to
the war 100000 pounds, in 1918
553, 100000 pounds. In other words APP
proximately ninety times as much beef,
five times as much bacon and forty
two times as much condensed milk.
That our foodstuffs were not all sent
TO war stricken Europe is shown by
the following: India took $4,000. 00O
pounds of condensed milk, Cuba 30
100000 pounds, Straits Settlements
over 100000 pounds, Hong Kong
nearly 100000 pounds, Japan 5000,
900 pounds, Philippine Islands over
100000 pounds and British Soutf
Africa about 100000 pounds. Enor
nous quantities OF refined sugar were
sent to Belgium, Mexico, Newfound
land and British South Africa Canned
salmon was sent TO Canada, the Phil
lippines, Australia and Chill.
This is but part of the story. Wha
wonderful tale the whole would MAX,
of the productions of American soil
Undoubtedly the record figures hav,
been made because with the seas opel
TO peaceful commerce other countrie
will increase their supply of foodstuff
in the world markets. But the reeort
of the past year shows what Americ;
can do and we hope it can continue t.
produce large proportions of the world
food. If it can, America will have a
much influence on world wide peace a
the most perfect league of nations, be
cause if it should shut off its food sup
: plies to warlike nations they neve
could feed their people and armies an
prosecute war.
