THE CAMP FIRE

This organization was first incor-
porated in 1912, on March II, being
therefore nearly sixteen years old.
From few members in each state
it has grown to an enrolment Of six
hundred Thousand girls I'M twenty
cne different countries, in 1925.
The purpose of the organization is
three-fold. First, it provides activ-
ities OF natural interest to girls; sec
ond, it makes these activities douD-
IL interesting thru an appeal to the
imagination; third, It works quietly
toward the end that thru fun and
happiness girls may achieve beau-
tiful and useful womanhood
The girl works for honors in sew
en- different departments, home
health, handworlx, camp-craft, and
nature love. business, patriotism and
citizenship. She climbs thru the
ranks Of Wood gatherer and Fire
Maker to the final one that cf
Toach Bearer.
To finance the purchasing of man
ufls, pins. ceremonial gowns and a
summer trip to Camp Fire camp the
girls held sales OF food, give enter
tainments and various other things
AS the work progresses they will do
things for others, as service is their
key note at all times.
The Doughnut Day was we'll pat
ronized by Kevin folks. Perhaps
this will be repeated later On. The
candy sale also received good sup
port from pagsersby The girls are
appreciative of both Mr.. Gordon and
of Mrs. Kmcheloe's courtesy in per-
mitting them the use of their stores.
Sales of various sorts will be held
in other places in the near future.
On January 18th the girls, togeth-
er with their guardian, hiked out Of

ever drilled with electric power in
Montana, SO far as generally known.
This was near Conrad, where Fred
Whiteside last fall put down hole
With current taken from the trans
mission line of the Montana Power

mate that electric current represents
a saving Of $1,000 well in power

cision to install an electric power
plant in Shelby was reached after al
investigation, carried on several
months by engineers OF the company,
