Hoover is on deck with the PROPOSE
ton to spend five hundred million
dollars more Of the peoples money
Oh an irrigation project. Economy,
did you say?"-Boone News-Republi-
can
There is something more involved in
such propositions than the mere qucs-
ton OF economy i'll the expenditure Of
public money. At present there is
more farm land in the United States
under cultivation than yields profit
t. the tiller of the soil, hence it is an
economic wrong to make the farmers
help pay for Il project that will add
more acres to produce more crops to
compete with the crops now being
grown- The sO-called farm bloc ought
to get after this Hoover proposition
and see that it is placed in cold storage
and kept there until there is legitimate
demand for opening up more agricu!t-
ural lands at public expense.

and bought corn for speculation. Many
farmers, too, who were able, held corn
for higher prices. 1t was in 1895 and
1896 when grain was so very cheap.
Much of the corn bought that year
was held three or four years and sold
at from 40 to 80 cents bushel. In re-
ferring to the low prices of that period
the Carroll Herald says:
! 'F. II. Arts was running a general
merchandise store then at Petersburg,
Boone county. Nebraska. He had gone
there after leaving. college, and built
up Il large trade. He was one OF the
leading merchants in that section. In
the fall of 1896 he took in large
quantity Of corn OH accounts. The
situation attracted the attention Of his
father, the late VIM. Arts, and the two
held several conferences as the season
for gathering approached.

began to buy, paying only s cents, a
bushel. The crop was large that year,
as it is now and the quality was good.
''rhere We're days when as high as
40 wagon loads were received. All
this had to be unloaded by shoveling,
for there were no elevators for unload

that in the later years Of McKinley's
administration it went up to 80 cents

The exports Of corn from this c0nn-
Try never amounted to very much, but,
contrary to general opinion, we are
exporting more than we did in 1920, ac-
cCrding to reliable authorities. In the
first ten months of 1920. so Secretary
of Commerce Hoover tells us. we sold
abroad only 13.O00.OOO bushels of corn.
while for the same period of 1927 our
IcxportatiOns reached 114.0O0,OOO bu-
shells. This fact would seem to indi-
cate that it is not the lack of foreign
market that is depressing the price OF
this stable cereal. c. II. Markham,
president Of the Illinois Central Rail
road company, says that our eNporta-
ton of corn in 1921 exceeded the aver
age for the past five years. Mr.. Mark

This fund or a part of it is now being
used in a way that leads to extrava-
gance. Each county is entitled to q GER
tain sum, but it must eXpend it as the
state highway commission says or the
money is withheld. Naturally there is
incentive to use it whether it is needed
or not. Might as well spend it, is
the argument. ''It has been paid into
the treasury and there is no advantage
in letting it stay there when we can
use it," Such situation is breeder
of unnecessary expenditures. The law
ought to be changed. permitting the
counties to divert a part of this fund to
paying the interest or part Of the
principal Oh the bonds issued for road
purposes. While such policy would
not reduce the tax on automobiles and
other motor vehicles, it would relieve
taxation in other directions and every
body knows that such relief is most
pressing.

THE GIRL SCOUTS,
BY T.. W. NJ.

"What are Girl Scouls2 We
have heard Of Boy Scouts, but
never knew there were such Things
as Girl Scouts. Are they the
same, ctc.2o
These questions being asked
and other thmgs surmiscd have
brought me to write this article.
Also the fact that | read weekly
in the NaShon Island NcwS.Rcc-
ord on page seven whole column
of interesting material ON Boy
Scouts and find nothing on Girl
Scouts.
The Girl Scout movement is
newer than the Boy Scout move
mcnt, That probably is the rcas-
on it is not known so well, being
only two years old. 1t is, ncvorthc-
less, Of minor importance. Both
were originated by the same man
--Badcn-PowcI, Of England,
What scouting has been done
for Il boy it is doing it for a girl,
Some have asked if they are alike.
They are as much alike as boys
arc like girls. Girl Scouts are for
girls what Boy Scouts are for
boys.
One mother on NaShon Island.
who was talking before an audi
cMcc on "Why | want my girl to
be a Girl Scout" gave this one
reason: "I have had a Boy Scout
in my home for six years and what
it has done for my boy it will DO
for my girl"
Girl Scouts are a group Of
healthy, happy wholesome girls,
who join together for work and
for fun, and who belong to a ma
tional organization. This is not a
club as was inferred by an inter
cstcd girl who was talking with
4 Girl Scout. To her inquiry the
Girl Scout replied: "Well, maybe,
only we don't think of it that way
1t really isn't like anything else,
because the drill and fun and
work and everything are all so
mixed up together and it is all
such fun that it's more than any
club ever thought of being. We
have tests and learn to cook and
sew and take care of babies and do
nursing and drill and make uni
forms. y
TO the mother who thinks it
would be a good place for her I'M
ruly daughter and to the mother
who says her daughter must not
join for it will bring her into con-
tact with all kinds of girls, | wish
70 say that the Girl Scout organ
ization is not rcformatory any
more than it is place for the
deaf and dumb or a home for the
poor and neglected children. The
government spends huge sums 60
money for institutions for unfor-
tmate children.
The Girls Scouts are the FORUM
ate lot of girls who learn through
work as well as through play
how to solve their problems in
life in the easiest and best way
possible.
To the parents who have the i'm
preston that scouting has the
tendency of getting the girl away
from the home and the church, |
shall repeat in substance what a
parent, sllcptical in Just that way,
said after seeing the moving pic
ture film, "Thc Golden Eaglct. "
cit is a big satisfaction to have
"een this picture film and to know
shat such a movement is ON foot.
1t is a new interest in a girls life
that naturally and hclpfully fits
her into the three factors of her
.lifc-her home, her church, her
school"
LASTLY, to the parents who have
Girl Scouts in thr homes and who
are interested in helping them
learn the ten scout laws, the mot
to, the slogan and the promise and
see if you can be as good Scouts as
your daughters.
