KEOKUk SCOUTS
HAVE BIC JOB
They Will Work for Treasury Depart
ment This Week, and are Asked
to Meet Tonight to Learn
How.
SELLING THRIFT STAMPS
Every House in keokuk Will be Cam
vassed in Coming Two Weeks in
Order to Follow Out the
Orders.

/ Every Boy Scout in Keokuk is
asked to meet at 1880 o'clock tonight
lat Troop Two headquarters at 922
/ Blondeau street, for the purpose of
discussing their part in the govern
,ment's thrift stamp campaign. The
| official dates for the campaign are
October Is to 81, and in the two
weeks that remain, the scouts are to
cover every house in Keokuk with
order blanks for the thrift stamps or
war savings certificates.
Charles F. Buss, Jr., scoutmaster
iof Troop One, is the chairman of this
drive, and he has all of the literature
and instructions necessary. The
drive is promulgated by the treasury
department and handled from the
Offices of the seventh federal reserve
district
The goal of the campaign is to
create a larger list of new savers and
AN effort to induce those already saw
ing TO increase their efforts. The U.
S. treasury department says it would
rather have every person in the com
munity subscribed for a thrift stamp
a week, rather than to have few
take 81 900 worth each
The government is asking the
scouts to help in this work, and this
is about the biggest order the boys
have received either during the war
or following it. They are to canvass
every house in Keokuk, passing
around first a four page circular tell
ing Of the advantages OF thrift and
savings against reckless spending.
The pamphlet is urging that people
learn to think in terms of interest,
and as slogan says every time you
waste nickel you lose the interest
On dollar for the whole year"
After these pamphlets are distrib-
tied the scouts will bring a blue |
ard which is an order blank for war |
savings stamps, at FIVE dollars each, |
md for thrift stamps at twentyf five |
.ents each The blanks are turned
nto the postoffice and the carriers
will deliver the stamps.
Every scout in Keolzrk is ordered |
o appear tonight at the troop two |
to get set for this big I
rive, which is the biggest and most
important that the scouts have been
allied upon to take part in.

SISTER TELLS OF BRO
THEIRS EXPERIENCE

How Charles F. Cowden, noted
Union CAL, 4th Mich. man and a
brother of Mrs. III. Skellenger, es-
capped from Andersonville prison. He
was captured at Gettysburg, Nov.
26, '63, his horse being shot under
him, he being the only one ever cap
tured from his company and was
taken to Andersonville prison, re-
naming there 5 months and suffer
ing all the horrors of q southern
prisoner. One day he was detailed
to carry water from the creek and
three rebel officers came and hitched
their horses in little grove near
the creek and Mr.. Cowden and two
comrades who were with him. decided
to mount the horses and escape. They
cut the hitch reins and made for the
turn in the road and they were in
sight and the bullets rained around
them like hailstones and as my dear
brother looked back he saw his COM
rades fall back in their saddles and
that was all as he went into the deep
woods He said IL he ever liked a
horse il was that one. He being a
noble animal and carried him to safe
Ity. He travelled nights and hid IN
the woods day times and the negroes
fed him. The third night he could
hear voices as IL he was near large
body of men. He was on the edge
Of a mountain and when day light
appeared he saw the most beautiful
sight that was ever beheld. Old
glory in all its magnificence was
near and it meant to him: home,
friends, food mother and all the
hope Of life. He was not afraid of
anyone and his comrades received him
with open arms and in his hunger
and weakness he fell on his face and
was carried in by his comrades and
| he lived to help capture old JEFF. and
the only thing he regretted was they
didn't shoot him on the spot and he
| ever afterward believed In one coun-
try, one language, one nag.
