GIRL SCOUTS BATTLI
TO MAKE PRICES D:..0P
Many Troops In This State Are Inter
ested in Deferred Spending Plan
Outlined by National Director.

More than seventy thousand Girl
Scouts, according to an announce
ment made recently at National Girl
Scout headquarters, 189 Lexington
Avenue, New York, have adopted the
principle Of deferred spending as .
means of combating hysterical prices
Of the present day and doing their
bit" to help put the nation on sta
BILE economic basis Instead Of spend
ing all of the money that they earn
or get from parents as gifts or allow
ances, hundreds of these patriotic
girls in each Of the eighty-three local
councils throughout the United States
are investing in Treasury Savings
Certificates and War Savings Stamps,
obtainable at the majority of banks
and trust companies, or at local post
Offices.
Maryland Girl Scout troops inter
ested in the announcement are as fol-
lows: Cambridge, Miss Margaret
Small, captain; Church Hill, Miss
Grace Riggin, captain; Colora, Miss
Frances Steel, captain; CHAMBERLAIN,
Mrs. Orville Shirley, captain; Easton,
Mrs. Reed Marshall, captain; Fred
erick, Miss Mary Sappinston, captain;
Grantsville, Miss Vida Getty, cap
tain; Hagerstown, Misses leila Stick
ell and Ethel Kohler, captains; Han
cock, Miss Mary Bridges, captain;
Hillsboro, Miss Lucretia Gibbs, cap
tain; Millington, Miss Martha Pen
nington, captain; North East, Miss
Marion Underwood, captain; Rising
Sun, Miss Grace Rawlings, captain;
Rock Hall, Miss Estelle Biddle, cap
tain; Savage, Miss May Shipley, cap
tain.
zone of the ten Scout laws is that
Girl Scout must be thrifty" says
Mrs. Jane Deeter Rippin, national d.
rector of Girl Scouts. This means
that a Scout must avoid all useless
waste Of every kind, must be careful
when spending her money and must
always remember that she should
save every penny that she can invest
In a safe manner. This habit of saw
ing, if practiced regularly in youth,
will make for better wemanhood and
will also give to the Girl Scout a sur
plus in time of need.
Reports coming into National Girl
Scout headquarters show that the
idea behind the governments "work
and save" movement appeals to Girl
Scouts. They like the Treasury Saw
ings Certificates, for they are forward
looking girls. That the investment
now Of $3.50 means the return in
January, 1928, of 500, with the
money meanwhile absolutely safe
guarded from loss through accident
or theft, shows them that the csrtih-
cate is sound. And where are the
girls of America who do not have
dreams Of the days in the near fu-
ture? Some want to give a present
to their mothers; some wish to save
for a trip; Others desire to start a
fund for educational purposes. These
are only few Of the many reasons
prompting girls to save and to invest
now in government securities"

Insane Actor Earned pIaudi...

In 1856 the Laura Keene theater, in
New York city, popularity known as
Laura Keene's Varieties, was opened.
1t remained under the management of
Laura Keene until 1853. AS its name
implies, a variety of plays and of ac-
tors were staged here. Among the
latter were Joe Jefferson, the elder
Sothern, Matilda Heron and Mrs. d.
P. Bowers. "Humpty Dumpty" pro-
duced there In pantomlme, probably
had the longest run Of any perform
ance of Its day. The Automobile Blue
Book tells pathetic tale of George
Fox in connection with his last APP
pearance on tho stage. He is said to
have become insane from the poison
In the powder which he had to use in
whitening his face and head when
making up for his part as a clown,
But so much had this work become
a part Of his life that after being
made up by an assistant he would be
placed upon the stage and from mere
force Of habit would play his part just
as well, IL not better, thnn before his
mind had become Sffected.

Crew Demanded stamps.

Clean up day on the battleship New
Jersey means something more than
hard work to the gobs on board that
craft 1t means a decided addition to
the ships fund that is drawing inter-
est in the form of War Savings
Stamps. While the war ship was
anchored in Boston harbor recently
the crew gathered up all the obsolete
ships fittings, cast off jumpers and
other clothing, books and papers and
sought out junk dealer. The dealer
was willing to pay cash for the junk
offering but the crew demanded pay
ment in War Savings Stamps and got
it. All condemned material on board
is being carefully stored away in
preparation for another clean up.

ATTRACTED BY GOLDEN BED"
Marquesas islanders Fascinated by
Sight Of Article Of Furniture
New to Them.

An amusing tale is told Of the COM
Ing of the first brass bed to Atuona.
Atuona is one Of the Marquesas islands,
a place Of coconut palms, and people
who are still ornamentally tattooed
and who used to be cannlbals before
them better. But no missionary had
ever disembarked a brass bed on the
beach Of Atuona; 1t came with the lug
gage Of a curious traveller who had
seen the island from the deck of a
steamer, and felt an impulse to live
there while and see what 1t was like
He could not depart, he says, with
out penetrating into those abrupt and
melancholy depths of forest, without
endeavorlng, though ever so feebly, to
stir the cold brew Of legend and tale,
fast disappearing under stupor and for
getfulness." And so one day the boat
brought him ashore, and the populace
welcomed him, marveling at the sight
Of the golden bed" and nearly over

took turns bouncing on it, while he
drove an easy bargain with the pos
SCISSOR Of house for the use of that
domicile In return for leaving the
golden bed" with the owner when he
departed. Then, the bargain concluded,
the wife of the chief who owned the
house had the unique privilege Of sit
ting on the bed. happily bouncing up
and down, till it was lifted on the tat
tooed shoulders of four Marquesans
and marched with honor to its desh-
nation.

Yves Whittle, a teamster down in
Lowell, Ark, was 20 patriotic during
the fall of 1918, before the Hun was
finally vanquished, that he put q
mortgage on his team and wagon for
$50 and bought War Savings Stamps
in his desire to do his duty by the
government. Some thought Yves was
doing more than his financial strength
warranted. But he just went down
into the woods, cut up fuel and sold
it and the mortgage was soon lifted,
Now Yves is buying more stamps, be-
cause ho realizes their value and finds
he can save.

Buy Red Cross
Christmas Seals

The citizens of this county have re-
sponded to the call of the Salvation
Army and Of the Red Cross. Good
But the work of the Marshall County
Public Health Association and of the
Minnesota Public Health Association is
also important. These associations do
not ask for q great amount of funds
from each individual They are con-
tent with the amount received from the
sale of the little Christmas Seals.
The American Red Cross, has nothing
to do with the sale or the money re-
ceived for these. Seals. The funds are
apportioned approximately as follows !:
IS per cent to the Marshall County
Public Health Association. ,.--r
40 per cent to the Minnesota Public
Health Association.
! s per cent to the National Tubercu-
losis Association. .,~,>s 49,
These organizations are all affiliated
and working together to fight tabercu-
losis and ether diseases. Buy and use
Christmas Seals freely and help in this
work. ,-s~,
How to Use Christmas Seals
The post master at Warren has given
some suggestions to prevent the misuse
of Christmas Seals:
Use them on the backs of the envel-
opes, not on the address SIDE Use
them on all mail except that which goes
to Europe or Asia. Use them on mail
that goes to Canada.
Use them on Christmas packages but
not in such way as to seal the pack
age so it can not be inspected by post
Office authorities. Observance of these
simple rules will prevent any incon-
venience to you or the postal authori-
ties.
Wish your friend Merry Christmas
by placing Christmas Seal on the let
ter you are writing to him. Put an
other on the back of the envelope.
Seal your mail with the stamp of
health. -: -. :..,,...
