last night the task OF boosting thrift
stamp sales in Keokuk.
The scouts met WITH Charles II.
Buss, scoutmaster Of Troop Ono. at

Scoutmaster Buss explained all of
the details Of the work and the boys
showed their willingness to cooper
ate and to serve the government
ence more. Thrift is a scout law and
patriotism is another, and the boys
responded gladly to the suggestions
outlined in the following letter from
scout officials to the seventh reserve
district:
Thrift is one of the scout laws,
and scouts believe this applies in
y. Times OF peace as well as IN
times of war. Boy Scouts during
the war were effective statesmen
in the sale of government securi-
ties, using patriotism and thrift
as their chief argument
] believe that You will find
many of the scouts glad to aid
the present government savings
organization in the sale OF thrift
and war savings stamps The
plan Of having the postal depart
ment do the collecting and hand
ling of funds, fully protects the
boy and affords him a splendid
opportunity for further emphasis
on patriotism and thrift.
Very sincerely yours.
]. P. FREEMAN,
Assistant Director of Field Work.

stamps they can in the remaining
two weeks of the campaign.
