MT. Sabin states that as the lot is a natural hollow that no side walls are necessary. If this be so, all that is necessary is for the city water depart ment to food the lot and now that it is covered with snow and frozen is an excellent time to do it. While there has been more or less talk regarding the matter MT. Sabin is the first to take any action and through his efforts the plan is under consideration by the Put nam Chamber of Commerce and the Parent Teachers association. MT. Sa- bin has offered to furnish whatever la bor is necessary to flood the lot without charge and it would seem with the pros pect of a skating pond without cost should not be long in materializing. l William P.

wife, "the problem Of washing
clothes would be 80 much easier"
Doubtless there are many house,
holds where two Mondays a week
would be an advantage. Possibly
You might call this arrangement q
week with two half Mondays.
The woman who has had to as-
sumo the burden of doing her own
washing or assisting with it finds
this good arrangement, and it is
| much easier to devote two hours
twice week to this work than four.
hours once a week. Then in fani-
lies where there are small children
1t is often really necessary to make
a fairly limited supply Of clothes
answer the purpose of perfect
cleanliness to wash more often than
once a week.
Suppose then that you make this
arrangement: Have all the bedding
changed Saturday or Sunday and
have bedding part Of Mondays
washing. With this might be
towels that can be washed directly
after bedding. These things never
need any starch, but they do usual
~ want to be boiled and blued. On
Monday you might also find time
for handkerchiefs. which could fol-
low the bedding and for fiannels.
which should always be done in a
separate water with special atten-
ton to the soap used.
On Wednesday or Thursday table
linen could go TO the wash. Being
linen these things may be made
spotless usually without boiling.
But many persons use suspicion
of starch. Frocks and all colored
clothes could be washed on this day,
and they, too, may be given a very
little starch.
If you like, however, you may
make your division so that only
clothes that need no ironing, such
as fiannels, underclothes, wash
cloths and bath towels should be
washed on the nlidweek washday.
while clothes needing ironing
should be put through on Monday
in time for TUESDAYS ironing. il

Here's Some Boy Scout
Facts for Older Folk
to Read and Remember

Hammond has IT Boy Scout
troops.
The Scouts number between four
and ave hundred.
Over a hundred boys have Joined
the Boy Scouts and passed their
Tendertoot Test aimee January 1st.
During the last two years over
62s different boys have received
scout training in Hammond.
During the last ave months the
boys Of Hammond have rendered ov
er 1000 hours OF public service. or
in other words. they have done
things for the community for that
length of time for which they have
received no financial compensation.

LEADERSHIP
In charge OF Hammond troops.
there are over ss volunteer men lead
ers. These men are chosen by o.
committee OF mn who are respon-
sible for the welfare OF each troop.
These scoutmasters give on the av-
erage of one night each week the
year around for which they receive
no financial reward. It would be
impossible to secure leaders who
would give UP their time so willing
" IL they did not see the definite
good which scouting does to the
boys Of the community. More
troops can be organized as fast as
suitable meeting places and proper
leadership are provided.
The outdoor program In scouting
Is the thing that appeals TO the
boys the most. During the last ave
months, the over light cabin at
Wicker has been used by troops
for over thirty different nights. av-
eraging from twelve to fourteen
boys per night. On these hikes
the boys made their own beds. did
their own cooking and did all 9TH
or work themselves. All Of these
boys hiked the six miles to and
from the cabin. Many tests in IRE
building, cooking. tracking. nature
study. and pioneering were passed
while at the cabin. No troop is
allowed to use the cabin without ra-
sponstble leadership The cabin
is heated by a. fireplace which will
take six foot log, and by an old
fashioned barrel stove.

NEGRO IS FOUND DEAD Relieved to Have Been Murdered and Body Placed on Railroad Track.

Camden, Aug. 23.-George Green, negro, was found dead along the Cot son Belt tracks near Finn Saturday. and Leroy and Benny Torrance, ne- groes are under arrest, charged with having killed him. Coroner J. l.. Baly- on was notified of the finding of the body, and held an inquest. The jury found that the negro came to his death by being struck on the Uead with sharp instrument, presumably an ax. The body was found lying across the Cotton Belt tracks, where 1t apparent ly had been placed in the hope that the train would mutilate the body in such a manner as to remove the evil dence of murder, officers believe.

Bear Seen on AshdOwn
 Street Wednesday Night

Grover Harris, local druggist, re- ported having met up with bear in the street in front of his home We'd nesday night while On his way from town He said the bear was standing across the road when he approached and that he first thought it was calf that had gotten out When he came within about six feet of it the bear ambled off down the road. He was close enough to know it was a real bear by it's appearance and walk. He said it was about two-thirds grown. He telephOned several men and tried to locate some dogs, but was not suc- cessful. MT. Harris insists that he had been drinking nothing, and no one has ever known of his being anything but strict prohibitionist in the past, so we must accept the fact that it was a real bear. MT. Harris said that it was not in the least wild, and thought perhaps he might be a pet wandering at large. Know of any body who has lost bear?
