water is being used when more
than one to three tablespoonsful
runs out of the bottom Of the
pot. The reverse is true if none
runs out.
One guide to watering is the
look of soil in the pot Mr.. Va
paa added. When the soil seems
dry, wait a day more and sub
merge the pot in water for about
10 minutes. Then let it drain fully.
Do this once a month, in addition
to regular watering, the agncul-
tural agent concluded.

The agent recommended putting
plants on window shelf, rather
than on the sill. If no shelf is
available, stand pots on wooden
blocks or inverted saucers on the
sill.

Europe and today Is being launch
ed as q pioneer program for wo-
men in new countries in Asia and
Africa.
Baden-Powell, himself, had elev-
en- brothers, no sisters. He went
through school mainly on scholar
ships and entered the British ar
my as a sub-lieutenant in 1876.
His life for the next 80 years was
a series of adventures, missions
and escapades in Africa and In
dia. He was knighted by King
Edward VII and was named Lord
Baden-Powell of Gilwell by King
George V in 1929.
His interest in Scouting, which
he always considered a game, dat
ed back to his school days. He
spent many hours in the "Copse",
a wooded area near the school,
and used scouting skills to avoid
schoolmasters looking for boys
who were out of bounds.
While still in his teens, he and
his brothers bought a ten-ton
boat. For a whole summer, they
cruised along the coast of Eng
land and Scotland looking for
ships to salvage.
Observant, witty, outspoken,
with a gift for understanding chill
dren, Baden-Powell travelled all
the world, organizing Scout
groups until retiring at the age
of 81. He died in Kenya, Africa,
in 1941.

Girl Scouts To
Mark Double
Anniversary

The Girl Scouts Will be marking
a double anniversary during the
week of March 10-16. Their OWL
45th birthday and centenary cele-
brations for the man whose ideas
On women's education shaped the
lives of IL and one-half million
American women.
The man was Robert Baden
Powell who started the idea of
a scouting game for boys while
he was still an officer in the Brit
ish Army. Because Baden-Powell
was one of the first supporters
of Scouting for girls, the Girl
Scouts r joining in Baden-Pow-
ell-Centenary celebrations being
observed by Scouts and Guides
all over the world.
Baden-Powell's idea for a scout
ing game started with a book,
aids for Scouting, which he
wrote in 1899. The idea caught on
SO fast he had to retire from the
army to devote full time to his
new youth movement.
One of the first big Scout rail-
lies in London had SO many girls
in makeshift uniforms that Baden
Powell, to the establishment of
many, decided to launch a similar
organization for girls. He prompt
ly started writing a Scouting hand
book for girls.
Now / shall be told that l am
trying to make girls into tom
boys" he declared. mot a bit
of it-quite the opposite. But girls
don't want to be dolls, and men
do not desire to have dolls as
their wives - they want COM
radeS."
In 1918, a few years before wo-
men were to vote in the United
States, he noted that "it is all very
well for a girl to learn the three
RS and the amount of knowledge
given in schools, but this merely
supplies a groundwork. If she is
to be equally efficient with her
brothers for work in the world, a
girl must be given equal chances
with hm-equal chances for pick
ing up character and skill, disci-
pline and bodily health, and equal
chances for using these when she
has got them"
Almost simultaneously, as Ba-
den-Powell was working to bring
Scouting to girls in England, Ju-
llette Low was organizing Girl
Scout troops in Georgia, Massa-
chusetts, New York and Ohio.
Mrs. Low learned about Scouting
in England. After several meet
ings with Baden-Powell, she de-
termined TO establish a Scout or
ganization for girls in the United
States.
Sharing ideas on the education
of women far in advance of their
times, these two individualists es-
tablished an educational and rec
reational program for girls so rev.
dictionary, yet so sound, that it
has become a familiar part of
growing up" in America and

". The desire of liquor retailers
to improve their economic posi-
ton is as human as for the grocer
or the general merchant. But
what seems a bit perplexing Is
that so many of these bar opera
tors appear, particularly in legis-
lative matters, gullible and naive.
For example, a few weeks be-
fore the converting of the 1855
legislature, tavern operators in
Silver Bow and Missoula counties
started court action seeking to
enjoin collection of license fees.
This was at a time when the re-
tailerS of the state were preparing
to ask the lawmaking assembly to
grant them a discount on their
purchase from the state stores.
Just at a time when they needed
to make friends, the bar operators,
or some of them, managed to do
as bad a job of public relations as
one could imagine. Of course, the
legislature turned them down.
Except for the postulation that
the measure was in the public
interest, Substitute lib 233 at least
had the virtue of being a frank
and direct approach to a PROPOSE
ton with some logic and precedent
to support it. What the proponents
of this plane were primarily up
against is the prevailing suspicion
among the people of Montana that
any proposal to modify the state
monopoly system is a threat to a
system in which most of the peo-
pie of the state have confidence
and which they believe comes
closer than anything else to keep
ing liquor business within toll
cradle bounds. This is why any
proposal which, even by infer
ence, looks like it might be an
opening wedge has the odds
against it.
Presently there is nothing to
suggest that the majority of the
people of Montana are yet willing
to loosen the restraints delegated
to the state liquor control board.
Basically, as it was established
more than 20 years ago, the Mon
liquor monopoly is likely to
continue for quite some time.
