GIRL SCOUTS
GIVE DRILLS
AT ARMoRY
The Girl Scout Campaign is

The Girl Scout Campaign is in
full swing in St. Johnsbury today.
All ola y long the girls have been
demonstrating at the Armory the
objects of this splendid organization
and tonight at $50 they will be en-
tertained at a banquet at the South
church.
This afternoon and evening the
Girl Scouts will be much in evidence
at the Please U Theatre where their
photo play, the Golden Eaglct, will
be given in addition to the regular
performance. A brief description of
Girl Scout work and ideals will also
be given in connection with the play.
The two meetings at the Armory
on Sunday evening at 7.30 and on
Monday evening at $50 promise to be
very interesting and entertaining. Ad-
mission is free to both these meet
ings and it is hoped that large
number of st. Johnsbury people will
avail themselves of the privilege of
seeing the local troupe of Girl
Scouts in action and learning the
objects of their work.
Briefly the Girl Scout organization
aims to make our girls healthy, hap
py, sane, practical, interesting and
useful. 1t also teaches the girls to
be fair-minded and patriotic, and it
lays the foundation for the kind of
knowledge which we all want our
daughters to have as they are ErNw-
ing up and which all husbands wish
their wives to have.
Everyone should attend at Hart
one of these meetings and learn more
about this great work.
This campaign is for meIlibsEdhip
only at one dollar each It II mot
drive for funds. One dolIar pays
for membership for one Eifl for
one year. It's worth many times the
price.

bad FIRE
SUNDAY AT
WHITE BIRCH FARM
Big Brick Farmhouse Saved
BY the Village Auto
Truck

About three o'clock Sunday after
noon fire was discovered in the house
that is on the White Birch farm
formerly owned by Luman Ladd and
now owned by A. Blair. Mr.. Blair's
family with the exception of Mrs.
Blair, who was sick in bed, were
at the dinner table eating when they
heard a noise that they took for an
auto going by. Investigation proved
that no auto was in sight, one of the
boys opened the door that leads to
the stairs to the room over the kitch-
Ell and discovered that there was Il
fire in the room occupied by the hired
man. The Ell chimney goes through
the partition of this room and the
fire had got good start when dis
covered. Mrs. f. E. Pierce, the
nurse, who was taking care of Mrs.
Blair, with rare good presence of
mind, had Mrs. Blair carried from
her room on cot bed, to her
own home across the road and then
helped remove furniture. Help was
summoned from the village by tcle-
phone, the church bell rung and soon
there was a good number of men on
hand to help fight the fire.
In the meantime the fire truck from
st. Johnsbury arrived with an cffici-
ent crew of men and with the chem
ical and water which was carried by
men, boys and girls from the brook,
and two hours hard work the fire
was conquered.
The fire was confined to the upper
part of the ell and the damage by
smoke and water was large. All the
furniture was removed in good
shape considering so many were at
it Even the bathroom fixtures were
taken out as we'll as the kitchen
stove. To tell the names of all who
were there would take too much space
Everyone who could, helped and
showed their good will to help. The
st .Johnsbury Fire company did AL.
W. f. Cushman did a good job with
his truck carrying water from the
brook in cream cans; l.. Grout made
a trip to st. Johnsbury for acid, r.
Chase to the creamery for acid and
soda fo + the chemical engine and
the men who were on the roof put
ting the water on are deserving of
great praise.
Mr.. Blair is fully protected by
insurance on both house and fur
niture. The roof of the ell was al
most entirely destroyed.
The old saying "better the day, bet
ter the deed" had one thing in it's
favor. Being Sunday help was secur-
ed more easily. Mrs. Blair and her
ten day old son are resting comfort
ably at the home of Mrs Pierce.
1t is thought that the fire caught
some way from the chimney. A fire
in the country has few good les
sons in it. The greatest one of all is
the spirit of "brotherhood" manifest
ed in those who attend.

As previously announced in these
columns the lowest bid for the St.
Johnsbury post Office building was
some $4,000 more than the appropri-
alton. This was put in by l. F.
Woodbury. & Sons of Boston, and
the only other bidder was Edwards &
Monahan Co., also of Boston. All
bids were rejected by the Treasury
department. The whole matter is
therefore held in allegiance pending
an additional appropriation of about
$35,0O0 from Congress.

DALE RIGHT
4, ON THE JOB
Has Started a Bill for an
Additional Appropriation
for Our Public Building

In response to the letter sent from
the directors of the Commercial Club
to Congressman Porter H. Dale urg-
ing that an additional appropriation
be secured for the government build
ing at st. Johnsbury, the secretary
Of the Commercial Club has received
the following reply:
Arthur F. Stone,
st. Johnsbury, Vcrm-nt.
Dear MI. Stone:.
In reference to additional appro-
priation for the government building,
have had some conference with
members of the Senate and House.
Under all conditions it seemed best
to start the bill in the Senate and
Senator Dillingham; has introduced it
there. 1t seems to me that we have
the matter lined up all right to go
through the Senate and then the
House. If l could go over all the
clements of the case with you, l am
sure you would understand why it
seemed best to go at this end first.
You may be sure that l will follow
the matter closely and pcrsistently
and do my best to bring it to an early
conclusion. If trouble develops, |
will let you know at once, but at the
present time, it seems to us best to
urge the passage Of the bill with the
individuals on the committees and in
the two Houses.
will keep you posted from time to
time.
am sending a copy of this letter
to Mr.. A. H. Gleason, the postmaster,
and to Mr.. Lawrence p. Leach, chair
man of the St. Johnsbury Citizens
Committee.
With assurances of personal cs-
tcem, l am,
Very truly yours,
PORTER II. DALE.
