Thrift Stamps

Today, for the glory of America and the service of humanity, people with a small salary are called into action. The task assigned to each is very easy, but very great in its effect upon the future welfare of America. The performance of the task brings immediate profit to every person who does part. The Gov ernment pays higher rate for it than for the service of big capital.
 Liberty Bonds used to be beyond the reach of many whose patriotism was very real and who were eager to help their country; but now we are asked to buy Thrift Statmps. They do not cost so much as Liberty Bonds but they are valued by the Government just as much.
 A War Savings Certificate has twenty spaces, upon each one of which Government stamp costing $4.12 is placed. These stamps will increase in value at the rate of four per cent, so that in five yaers they [ will be worth five dollars each. The full certificate, costing $82.4O, will be redeemed in five years by the United States Government for one hundred dollars in cash.
 War Savings Certificates, Thrift Stamps and the War Savings Stamps are on sale in every post office, every bank and many other places through out the nation. Nobody will have any reason for overlooking or neg lecting them. No one subscriber will be allowed to own more than 1000 worth of War Savings Certificates.
 Millions of boys and girls who, with many salute, have pledged allegiance to the flag and to the Re public for which it stands, will now have the pride and pleasure of ren- dering that allegiance in real service which shall be of great help to the country.
 This call is to men of many races but now of one nation, men who feel their hearts beat quicker when they speak of America as "my coun. try", men who salute the star spangled banner with pride as theil

The Boy Scouts of America

In 1910 the American Boy Scout organization was formed by Ernest Thompson Seton. He got the idea from Sir Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the English Boy Scouts. The purpose of the organization was to encourage citizenship and patriot ism among the boys and give them good start toward becoming good and useful citizens.
 During the past war the Boy Scouts have rendered valuable ser vice to the Government in many ways. Chief among these are the selling of Liberty Bonds in each Liberty Loan, participating in the Thrift Stamp campaign and the locating of black walnut trees for gun stocks and aeroplane propellers. In each loan the Scouts sold many thousand dollars worth of bonds. For example, in the third loan they sold $80,856,800 worth to 5,700 people. It was the same in the War Savings Service. The Scouts res bonded just as they had done in the Liberty Loans, selling, up to Octo- Der, 1918, $18,490,186 worth of War Savings Statmps. In the black wal nut hunt t he Scouts reported 15,- 000,000 boarad feet, securing many fine trees that otherwise would have been overlooked.
 Scouts also did good work in food conservation and production, gath ering fruit pits and nuts for the Gas Service and doing many other things.
 Troop No. 1, Canaan, is a good example of scout work in the war. Under the most efficient leadership of Rev. R. M. Timberlake the scouts have done fine work. In the Fourth Liberty Loan the scouts. sold $2,600 worth of bonds and in the War Savings Stamp campaign, $9,000 in stamps. The scouts also put up posters for Liberty Loans, the Y. M. c. A. and other organizations.
 Many scouts had war gardens, and scouts assisted the local Red Cross by gathering clothing and carrying boxes.
 Because of MT. Timberlake's in- terest, the local troop has increased from one patrol of eight boys to three patrols of twenty-five boys. The Boy Scout organization in this country now has over 100000 mem bers and is growing rapidly. During "Scout Week., to come soon, every town will try to form a troop, or, if it already has one, will try to enlist new members.

The Farmer Opposed to Daylight
 Saving

The farmers of the United States are opposed in general to the day light saving plan tried out last sum- mer and which is continued this year. That plan is, in general, approved in cities. The plan, of course, cannot work at "both ends"; it gives an ex- tra hour of daylight in the evening but the early morning is an hour "shy'', and it is this early hour of the morning that particularly matters with the farmers, whereas the city .dweller cares little what happens be- fore seven in the morning. The farmer objects to doing his early "chores" in the darak merely that his city brother, who is sound asleep at the time, may enjoy a daylight motor ride at eight in the evening. Moreover, the plan throws his whole day more or less out of adjustment, for the farmer lives and works by the sun. Some rural workers have dis regarded the change in time alto gether, and some report that they care but little for artificial time standards, as they regulate their lives altogether by astronomical happenings. . @-2 f.
 AS the Census Report of 1910 reckoned that the United States has a larger rural than urban population the importance of this expression of rural opinion is evident. Whatever interferes with farm work, must also influence the quantity and price of food-stuffs and so affect the city man to that extent. E..
 The most forcible objection pre- sented by the farmers is the fact that they are obliged to rise early in order to get their work going, and, regardless of any daylight saving, they would be obliged to be on their job shortly after sunrise. The work CTS who go by the new time want to leave their work at the time when certain things on hte farm can be done to the best advantage. Such work as having and picking fruit cannot be done to the best advantage until the dew is dried off and by the new time there is an hour or so in the morning when this cannot be done to advantage. Then when evening comes and things are dry so that they may be worked to advan- tage, the helpers are ready to quit, leaving the days work unfinished.

The Oratorio society of New York, which she heard last winter, made a noise like rumbling thunder on rising and sit ting and in one of the oratorios the voice of the tenor soloist could hard ly be heard. The absolute silence with which the festival chorus rises and sits is a pleasing contrast.

MERCHANTS ENCOURAGE -s WISE SPENDING
Home Sewing Provided For.

Dry goods merchants in every part of the country report radical changes in their customers buying habits, due to war experience. People seek sound values in clothes. There is no disposition to be parsimonious, or shabby, but women are judging gar ments by wearing quality. They no longer purchase short-life gowns or fabrics for the sake of showy ap- pearance. Thrift has brought in a new fashion era-Quiet models which will be in style several seasons in stead of the one-season "creation." ]"
 The merchants are cutting down wasteful methods in their stores, and eliminating superfluous service, un- wise credits, unprofitable deliveries and other .happy-g y-go-lucky, hit-or- miss extravagances for which the public had to pay.
 Another interesting development is the sale of materials for homo sewing. One store seeks to interest schoolgirls in making their own dresses. Prizes are offered for we'll uId0S 6aA o0WluB is given in .the store; suggestions are made for the purchase of material, trimmings and patterns.
 Some stores make up bundles con taining all the requisites for a given garment-the fabric and all findings needed.
 Money saved by this sort of wise spending can be safely invested in War Savings and Thrift Stamps.

cess, ever increasing, is due in a large part to the fine intellectual and artistic discrimination of the patrons of the union. Money to pay the ex- penses incident to the training of the chorus and to the bringing of assisting artists is, of course, vitally necessary but money alone would nto assure the success of the Litch- field County Choral Union. There must be as supplementary forces in- telligence, artistic sense and the deepest of sympathy. These are characteristics of MT. and Mrs. Stoeckel who throw into this bene- volent enterprise their whole souls and thereby make possible the Litch- field County Choral Union as it is and has been from it's very beginning
 There is every reason to look for ward in highest anticipation to the season of next year, which is sure to be the geratest yet in the history of the union and if we are not mistaken there will be some fine surprises for the people of this county next June. The concerts of this year were cer- tainly 4 promise for the future.

Yelovitch. At the West Penn Steel
Company's plant, the news dispatches
report that seven hundred American
born employees were at work with
only six foreigners out of 450, This
tells the story.
1t is high time that these undigest,
ed and indigestible aliens should be
measured for what they are worth
They show no loyalty to the country
that has given them home, living
and wages beyond the widest dreams
of their avarice. They seek no per,
manent abiding place here. Fealty
goes to foreign countries.
1t is time for the Liberty Bell to
be rung again. We welcome the i'm
migrants who come to make this theil
home, to give allegiance to the Amer
lean flag, and to stand fast for the
principles of our Government. These
have been an important factor in the
upbuilaing of this new land. We rec
ognize their worth. For years they
have been welcome. They are among
our best citizens Our doors have been
open wide for we needed them, and
will welcome strangers to our shores
as long as they blend with our popu-
lation, accept American principles
and follow the American flag.
But those VINO will not seek natur-
alization, who despise our Constitu-
ton, who spit upon our flag, and are
at the beck and call of soap-box ora
tors and false leaders of labor Of
Bolsheviki and l. w. w. stripe, should
be driven from every factory, shop,
and office. They have been fed, cloth
ed and enriched, only to turn to bite
the hand that feeds them. We have
dealt with this unassimilated element
too gently. We have been patient too
long. If neither of the great parties
rises to the emergency and seeks to
put an end to the malign influence
these have been exerting in our in
dustrial field, new political party
will arise, made up of true Americans,
whose motto will be: "Our flag, our
country and our freedom. m."-Leslies
