Many years ago an American
woman, Juliet Low, was paying
her annual visit to England. Among
her friends there was Lord Bayden-
Powell, the founder Of the Scout
Movement. Mrs. Low saw what
Scouting was doing for the boys
and girls of England. She knew
that American boys were getting
the benefit of the new movement,
but no one had thought of intro
ducing it to American girls. Mrs.
Low decided to do so herself. She
was deaf, she was not wealthy but
she had bOundless enthusiasm, a
courageout spirit and the hearty
cOOperation of the Chief Scout.
Moreover she was convinced that
American girls would welcome the
program as eagerly as had the Eng
lish girls, who were now known as
Girl Guides.
In 1912 Mrs. Low founded the
Girl Scout movement in the United
states. The first troop was organ
ICED in Savannah, Georgia. This
was the first unit OF the OFsaIl1d-
ton which today has become part
of the national life.
soon after the Girl Guides were
organized in England the younger
girls wanted to join. They were or
ganized into a group which Lord
Bayden-Powell himself called the
brownies" naming them after the
useful little people" of Scotland
and the North Country of England
The Brownie Scouts are the
youngest members of the Girl Scout
organization which offers pro-
gram planned for girls from sever
through seventeen years old. The
Brownie Scouts are the girls from
seven through nine years old. Th'
Girl Scouts are from ten through

Increases Wheat
Yields By 20 Bushels

Soil testing, lining and fer
tilizing as we'll as other good
farming practices made it pos
sible for one Ohio farmer to reap
80 bushels of wheat per acre
from field that yielded 10
bushels per acre five years ago.
On the D. L. Staneart farm,
west of Tippecanoe, Harrison
county, broomsedge and poverty
grass grew in a field four years
ago. Soil tests revealed the need
of AS tons of lime per acre. After
lime was applied, legumes and
grass were seeded. The field
yielded hay for three years.
Clarence Crabtree, farm man
ager, says alfalfa then began to
need reseeding. Last fall, he
seeded two bushels of wheat per
acre and applied $50 pounds of
3-18-9 fertilizer. After testing
again, Crabtree applied It's tons
of lime. Nitrogen fertilizer and
manure were added in April.
Timothy was seeded with the
wheat last fall. This spring, alfa-
alta, ladino clover and alsike
clover were seeded.
Staneart plans to clip stubble
and legumes when he finishes
combining.

world.
When Franklin D. Roosevelt
sponsored the shovel leaning
PWA on the theory that it mat
tered less what was actually be-
ing accomplished than it matter
ed that public funds be put into
circulation, he committed crime
upon public morality that to this
day is stamping its paralyzing
effects upon nearly all phases
and endeavors of labor.
That same sort of immoral and
reckless giving of our resources
to other nations and peoples as
pump printing" for their eco
Monies has in many instances
had its demoralizing effects.
Since the "priming" was so gen.
erous, why apply effort and en-
ergy to the pump-handle? Why
not just drink the printing!"
1t is this abuse of giving that
has characterized our present
national administration as one
not only lacking in the graces of
morality, but also as one to dan
gerously undermine our own and
the world economies.
Moreover, it has been a "rob-
Der baron" giving-robbing the
people of the United States to
lavishly and often foolishly give
to other peoples and nations. 1t
is the case of injudicious little"
men being drunk with a power
they have not rightfully earned
and therefore cannot wisely
WELD.
This does not mean that Amer
ica should isolate herself from
the rest of the world and become
Injured to suffering and want in
other lands. We must and will
continue to give and help, even
generously, but we must stop
giving dangerously and reckless
ly. No greater fallacy was ever
perpetrated upon our own and
world morality than that of
buying" friendship. That is i'm
morality of the lowest order.
We must wake up to the fact
that what the world needs to a
greater degree than gifts and
handouts from this country to
our own detriment, is that we
keep ourselves strong, vigorous,
healthy and independent en-
ough to successfully meet and
halt the foe common to all free
nations-Russia. Upon that rests
the worlds greatest hope for sur
vival.

Saving Bees Wax
Paws Dividends

Good wages for beekeepers
come from beeswax salvaging
programs says Charles A. Reese,
extension apiarist at Ohio State
University.
Reese points out that wax is
essential to national defense and
beekeeperS' pocketbooks. He sug-
gests saving all burr comb scraps
and bits of wax.
Although some beekeeperS
place scrapings from top bars at
hive entrances to allow bees to
salvage the honey. Reese says it
probably will prove profitable
if beekeepers carry containers in
which to put wax scraps. This
prevents robbing and adds to
wax production.
Reese also says queen diSap-
pearance has been general over
the state this year. After super
seizure, young queens apparently
have failed to return to hives.
Since the old queen has disap-
pared the colony is left queen
less.

so Die In Farm
Fires, Report States

Almost so farm folks died in
fires last year, according to w.
f. Stuckey, safety specialist with
Agricultural Extension, Ohio
State University, and the Indus
trial Commission of Ohio.
He blames nine causes, all
preventable, for farm fires: de-
fective chimneys, sparks on COM
bustible roofs; inadequate light
ming protection; carelessness
with matches; improper use of
gasoline and kerosene; faulty
stove and furnace installations;
spontaneous ignition; misuse of
electricity and dry cleaning in
the house.

Farmers Cautioned
In Harvest Season

Nov is the busy harvest
season in Noble county when
farm accidents reach the highest
point of the year." said county
agent, Floyd Henderson, at
meeting of the Fulda grange,
held Thursday. He went on to
say, This is the time local farm
ers should be especially careful
with their machinery and tools.
Thousands of farm workers will
be seriously injured or killed be-
cause of not following the simple
precautions outlined for hand
ling tractors and other farm
machinery. Learn, remember and
obey farm safety rules"
County agent Henderson, said
that if Noble county farmers and
other farms in the u. S. would
cooperate they could reduce the
accident rate by 10 percent this
year and save 1850 lives, prevent
10000 disabling accidents and
save 100000, 1000.
Each year, according to eSti-
mates made by the National
Safety Council and the National
Fire Protection Association, farm
people sustain about 1880 fata-
lities from accidents, $l,500,00O
disabling injuries caused by ac-
cidents, and $4,000 buildings des-
troyed by fire. This cost repre-
sents the equivalent of an annual
tax of $35 per year to every farm
resident throughout the country.
