CAMP WICKER-The n eek end
camp is becoming a regultE aabit with
some troops. It is putting the out" IN
scouting. A fellow who goes on a
week end hike during the winter
months can never be termed "a parlor
scout"
Last Friday night there were six
scouts from Troops / and 2 at the
camp, These included Asst. s. Ms
Van Slycke and Parker. Two boys re-
turned Saturday but three more arriv-
ed In the afternoon Scout Executive
Scott came out. While it was too
rainy for outdoor work the boys had
laid IN a large supply OF hrewood and
the big fire place made the camp right
homey. As to food. there were some
eats" Possibly their home folks are
unaware OF the fact that these fellows
are talented cooks. especially when it
comes TO breakfast pancakes.
After the supper dishes had been
cleaned up they threw several big logs
on The fire and had an hour of stories
and songs. No fellow present will ever
forget those songs. All turned in then
for q good nights sleep which has
been made possible by an ample sup
ply Of straw filled ticks. Van Slycke
turned out at $50 in order to be in
70 take part IN a Sunday school con-
test.
After breakfast they cleaned up the
cabin and gathered around the fire for
their Sunday school lesson. The les

who do not save money. intend to do Sc
some day.
But the time to begin saving is today.
No matter how difficult it may seem
to practice thrift today, the weeks and
months and years will not make the
task easier The hardest dollar of all
to save is the first one. Save as you
so. This is a motto that should be
adopted by all of us.
The man who saves a small amount
Of money today is better, equipped to
save something tomorrow or next week.
He is stronger in character, and has an
inspiration in the tangible evidence Of
his economy.
Also the man who goes along from
day To day without saving is simply
making the task harder for himself
He is paying a usurious interest for his
procrastination which may someday
completely crush and overwhelm him,
for he is undermining his character,
yitlaung his will and gambling his time
against fate.
one of the sayings OF Poor Richard
was: a man may, If he knows not
how to save as he gets, keep his nose
all his life TO the grindstone and die
not worth groat at last
II you are not saving money today,
do not make the mistake of believing
that time will make the beginning cas-
ier. Even though your income may
increase and your general circum-
stances in life become prosperous, YOU
will find it just as hard to save money
later as it is now Added to your habits
Of thrift there should be the seasoning
benefits Of time For each day that
you practice thrift adds strength to
your character. It bestows mental,
moral and physical benefits in addition
to those which are purely financial and
material
DO not emulate the example of poor
old Micawber who was always waiting
for something to turn up and wasted
his years I'm poverty and want.
Plan and provide for the future. DO
do be deceived by the mirage OF to-
morrow.
II YOU cannot save money today, you
are a potential failure; if you can save
il, you are a potential success

that once started the contractors would
rush the road go fast that people

anxiety and worry. Ne said that work
would probably be started in several
sections along the right of way, and a
force sufficiently large would be en-

She Is Checking Up Weights and
Measures of Products.
Decreased Buying Power OF Dollar
Makes Her Think and Avoid All
Kinds Of Waste-Lessen Prices
In fiany Ways.

The modern housewife Is becoming
expert in buying. She is reading the
labels, in accordance with the sugges-
ton made by The United States de-
purtment OF agriculture, and checking
up the weights and measures of the
food products She buys. She has
learned when 10 buy in quantity and
when in snall amount, and when 1t is
more economical to buy in bulk than in
package. Many have compared the
cost of making bread ut home and Of
buying It and are choosing the way
that is best for them.
Z Tie lessened buying power Of the
dollar has made her think and avoid
all kinds OF waste. The family must
be kept well uourished, but the wife
and mother should not provide more
food inan is needed. She must know
what Kind af food viii fill her market
basket to the best advantage. Along
with this knowledge is that of how
much of the family food should come
from each food group and how far 1t
is wise to save money by using more
food from the less expensive groups.
The housewife ui today is keeping
food account. and checks up her weekly
buying by the plan she has made.
II ,hc wishes to try to lessen prices
for everybody here are some of the
ways she Is going at it: BY producing
food at home 10y using local products;
by choosing food that is plentiful In
the markets; by lcssenng her use Of
such foods as are scarce; by co-opera-
tive buying; and by using the parcel
