the nation wide movement to pro-
vide similar training and teaching
for girls still in their teens through
Camp Fire is not so we'll known.
About fifty Winslow girls are
now enrolled in the two troops of
Camp Fire, under the guardianship
of Mrs. George Jackson and Miss
Nell M. Bloodgood. The girls meet
at least once each week for bust
ness purposes and to discuss the
aims of Camp Fire, which all tend
to make self-reliant, honest and
capable young women, versed in the
arts and practices of our complex
civilization, but still retaining,
through their symbolic association,
a veneration and appreciation of the
lives of women who live or lived
under more primitive conditions.
Last Saturday the girls journeyed
" SOItOA WOOO w ASH Low
east of town, and there prepared,
under camp conditions, a days
program and dinner that was most
enjoyable and sufficient to them
selves, and to the four mothers
who accompanied them. Similar
excursions are planned for the en-
tire summer season, and to these
the women of the town, whether
mothers of Camp Fire Girls or not,
are invited to attend.
The girls need the encourage
ment of older women in doing and
accomplishing the tests required
for advancement in Camp Fire cir
cles. The movement is valuable
one, at least on par with the
Scout movement, and the girls are
financing their own endeavors,
through various activities, notices
of two of which appear elsewhere
in this issue.

CRIME NEWS "PLAYED DOWN"

FOLLOWING the passage of a
resolution recently by the fed
GRAFTON of women's clubs of Des
Moines, Iowa, asking that crime
news be segregated on an inside
page in order that children and
general readers would not have to
search through crime to find the
worthwhile news of the day." the
Des Moines Register announces the
Inauguration as an experiment Of
the segregation of crime news.
Beginning Monday, the paper will
print crime news in an inside sec
ton much after the manner of
sport and market news. The initial
experiment, the Register announced
will continue for week.

"He is not here, but is risen"

''He is not here, but is risen"
Uttered from an empty tomb, this
declaration contains the answer to
the query that has echoed down the
ages: eff a man die, shall he live
again.
Men have speculated upon i'm
mortality as far back as their
thoughts have been recorded. In
stinctively, they have felt that be-
yond this world, there should be,
must be, another In the story of
the resurrection they find the great
basis for their hope, and the proof
of their belief.
AS the day symbolic of new life,
Easter is joyous occasion. In the
church it is the happiest of the
festivals. Everywhere the signifi
canoe of the anniversary of the as
surance of a life to come is under
stood, there is rejoicing.
In gratitude for the promise, we
express our praise in inspired song,
in pageantry, and in offerings of
natures choicest gifts, the flowers.
Nature proclaims the reasonable
ness of the Christians belief in the
Towering of a new life But, for
tunately, the Christian does not de-
pend upon nature to assure him.
The materialist may read his fate
in the processes of the natural
world, but to the Christian the
clear-cut, authentic and personally
conveyed message from the Creator
Himself, overshadows every other
indirect promise.
When Jesus of Nazareth, cruel
fled to appease an angry mob,
broke the bonds of death and be-
came 'the first fruits of them that
slept" He flooded the gates of eter-
nifty with light that forever dis
solved the mystery of death.
Easter, the anniversary of the SUI
preme victory of time, with it's
message of hope for every soul, IL
lumines the pathway into the flu
ture, enabling men to look across
the grave, and know that they are
going on. Today, we know that
this is only 1.-THE beginning. Without
the hope and the courage this day
inspires, life would not be worth the
living

Riddles Evening
Story
By MARY GRAHAM BONNER
Peters Visits

The people in FairylalS were al
ways very much interested in hear
ing what the children were doing.
Of their games and their frOlics and
Peter GnOme often used to go to
children's parties and watch them
at play.
1t really wasn't rude Of him for
he put on his invisible robe so no
one could see him and he wasn't in
the way at all.
He had beautiful time early one
morning watching two children
playing the telephone game.
They each had little toy tele
phone and they played that they
were telephoning people just as
they had heard their mothers talk.
Hello" said one, please give me
145 Party j." And the other an
swered:
yes, this is AS Party J. Did you
wish to speak to me?"
TOh, yes, my dear, how are you
this morning? Well, l had the love
lest time yesterday afternoon. Il
called you up to tell you all about
it."
Next he saw two children sitting
in a big box and the big box was
in still bigger puddle and they
were playing that they were on a
boat.
Another little girl was playing
house with her friend and she
was saying:
Dear Mr.. Iceman, why didn't you
leave ice for me today? Do you
know now where / can get any?"
And the other girl who was sup
posed to be the iceman answered in
a gruff voice:
go to the North pole and you'll
find some, lady,"
Some other children were start
ing out with their dolls for a trip
and they were saying to their dolls:
1--WE have to pay to ride on the
cars, but you are young enough to
travel free"
Then Peter went TO a zoo where
most Of the people about spoke an
other language, for he went long,

long way this time. But the animals
still grunted and squealed and chat
ted in their own way to Peters
great relief.
Coming back he sailed on an old
schooner and had a most adven-
tureSome time.
Gle sang to himself at times and
this was one of the songs he sang Z:
The ocean and the sky
And our boat blowing steadily on
While trees and land and streets
Are quite completely gone.
1t was quite true, too, that they
had left trees and streets in the
far distance now for quite awhile.
He listened to the sea gulls say
ing the same things over and over
and he thought how much they
were like some people who said
the same things over and over.
But they were so graceful and
so beautiful and they always made
the scenery more interesting. Then
he liked to hear their funny laugh
ing voices and he thought their
good appetites showed how healthy
they were.
He certainly would tell them in
Fairyland, how he could see, when
he looked from the top Of the mast,
only where the sky and sea met
all around. There was blue ridge
in the distance and beyond he
couldn't see.
He thought of all the curious
things he had seen on this trip
the donkey and dog wagons and
how much they had to work. But
then, too, he had been in one little
place and every day the dogs had
all met together on the beach and
had gone in swimming and had
played and had a beautiful time.
1t had seemed just as If they
had named an hour to meet on the
beach.
He had seen woolly white sheep
lying on stones on rocky hills, and
he had watched scampering wild
rabbits and great flOcks Of wild
birds.
He had made friends with dear
little dog as they had warmed
themselves before u fire when
everyone was out and the little
dog had felt so blissful lying on
his back by the warm fire and hav-
ing Peter Gnome rub his chest.
Oh, Peter had made many
visit and had seen many a quaint
and interesting sight at home and
far away, but the best thing of all
was always, he thought, to go
back home again.

And when the Sabbath was past,
Mary Magdalene, and Mary the
mother of James, and Salome,
brought spices, that they might
come and anoint Him.
And very early the first day of
the week they came to the tomb
when the sun was risen.
And they were saying among
themselves, Who shall roll us away
the stone from the door of the
tomb? And looking up, they saw
that the stone was rolled back.
And entering into the tomb they
saw a young man sitting on the
right side, arrayed in white robe;
and they were amazed.
And he said unto them, Be ye not
amazed; We seek Jesus, the Naz-
arene, who hath been crucified; He
is risen; He is not here.-St. Mark.

NOV upon the first day of the

they came unto the sepulchre,
bringing the spices which they had
prepared, and certain others with
them.
And they found the stone rolled

And it came to pass, as they were

RETALiATE AGAINST u. S.

PARIS. December 5 OP).--A fiat rate
of $40 a year for a visa permitting
Americans residing in France to cross

henceforth by the French authorities.
Heretofore an annual visa could be
obtained from prefectural headquar-

French citizens for permission to cross
