featured from eight pounds of wool
and a deposit of S4.35, $500 to cover
the manufacture and 35 cents freight
and overhead charges.
The manufacturing charges on
both blankets and robes will not leave

been received at the factory and
blankets made
The blankets and robes will be Of
the same style and quality as those
received last year. A selection may
be made after looking over samples

In order to avoid expense and
extra handling, farmers are request
ed to pack their wool in large bags.
Quantities of fifty pounds or less can
be packed in a large two hundred
pound bran sack. Larger quantities
may be packed by sewing two bran
sacks together. which will enable one
hundred pounds or more, properly
packed. to be put in one package

any of these blankets. farmers will
be assisted in the sale of same wher-
ever it is possible at SLIPS per pair
for blankets and $S.75 for automobile
robes. thus netting them 50 cents per
pound for their wool.

hungry Scout.

Master, Rev. c. X. Strausburg, who
"hiked" to the camp, sat around the
camp and talked sagely to the Scouts,
curled himself in his blanket to sleep.
muttered dire threats against the
mosquitoes, breakfasted in the open,
and otherwise conducted himself in
the most approved "Boy Scout"
fashion.

roy Sherkey. Thomas Hanley, Edward

OUR CLUB GIRLS
At OCEAN CITY
Worcester County Girls Club
Has Enjoyable Outing
On the Beach.

The Club Girls of Worcester Coun-
ty enjoyed a very rare outing at a
camp at Ocean City from June End
to June 9th.
On June 2nd about twenty-five
girls from all parts of the county
assembled for period of instruction
and enjoyment. Their program gave
them instruction in Planning and
Preparation of Meals, Value of Milk,
Fruits and Vegetables in the Diet,
Proper Dress for Girls. Healthful
Exercises and Games, and High
Value of Club Work to Boys and
Girls.
On the first and last days the
weight of each child was taken and
an average increase of one pound
was noted This was attributed to
the fact that the children were given
the high value of milk as a food and
every child responded to its use in
club meals, as suggested by the in
structorS.
The instructors Misses Cowsill,
Home Demonstration Agent of Mont
gomery County. Gaffney Of the Pub
lie Athletic League of Maryland, and
Mr.. p. W. Chichester. Asst Boys
Club Agent, gave real inspiration to
the club girls who were fortunat 2
enough to attend the camp.
Besides those in regular attendance
there were dozen visiting club
members each day. County Agent
Oswald and some of his club boys
and Miss Emerson, Home Demonstra-
ton Agent from Sussex County, Del,
with group of her girls, were also
in attendance.
Miss Emerson expressed herself as
being so impressed with this meeting
by the girls that she was going back
to her county and make an effort to
have someone make it possible for
her girls to have the privilege of a
itht OppOl tuHitN y.
On Saturday afternoon the meet
ing was conducted entirely by the
club girls of the county and they
made il one of the best meetings of
the whole camp. TO see the manner
in which the girls presided, lead and
reported results of club work in their
respective communities was real evil
dencc of what club work is doing for
the girls and boys of the present.
In the evening as all assembled
around the open fire, one of each of
the four groups presented a little
program they had prepared as a
source of entertainment. These con-
sisted of recitations. songs. dramati-
cations. dialogs and other interesting
features.
To Mr.. and Mrs. o. ID. Collins in
whose cottage the girls were shell
tered. and the County Woman'S Club,
who paid the registration fee for the
best girl from each club in the coun-
ty. is extended the highest apprecia-
ton by Miss Walter, the Home
Demonstration Agent of Worcester
County, under whose supervision the
camp was conducted, and the girls in
attendance for giving the girls an
opportunity for this outing at which,
as they expressed themselves, they
had the happicst time in their lives.
