Dear Girls: How many of you know of the Girl Scout movement that has been started in Richmond ? I want every one of you to know about it. The purpose of this organization is to make healthy happy girls interested in life and capable of taking an active part in it. It accomplishes this by means of a simple program of work and play. It appeals to the girls natural instincts for fun and novel experience. The program succeeds because the girls like it. They all like the swimming, boating, hikes and the games. A Girl Scout not only learns tb play but she also learns to be of service in many ways. She can stop the flow of blood, take care of an invalid or a baby guide strangers, conduct a meeting, operate a telegraph apparatus and send semaphore messages. She is also able to bear her share of civil and national responsibility. Before the entrance of the United States in the war the work of the Girl Scouts was chiefly directed toward community service. Now it is doing work for the Red Cross, food Administration, Liberty Loan, etc. ' The girls are organized into troups made up of eight girls to a patrol. Each troop has a captain and each patrol a leader selected by the girls. ; f - There are three grades of Girl Scouts. To be a Tenderfoot a girl must be at least ten years old, must know ten Girl Scout Laws, the history of the American flag and how to fly it, and how to tie certain knots. More difficult tasks are required for the admission to the second and first classes, The only absolutely necessary expense is the registration fee of 25 cents. The cost of the uniform (which is not obligatory) is about $6. So you see Junior Girls the cost of the organization is not great when compared to the good that you get from it. " I would like to see every Junior Girl belong to such an organization because how in these war times there is a place for such an organization. Now is tme time to show that the girls at home can really do things as well as the boys at the front. : Remember that 40 percent of the fighting is done at the front and 60 percent is done at home and if we fail the boys will have to fail, and so girls now is the time to join this and do your bit.

How I Earn My Money to Buy Thrift Stamps One day I was sitting on the porch. Father asked me to clean the hedge for a dime because the hedge bad some leaves around the roots. I told my father I would, so I went to the shed and took out the hoe and the rake with which to clean it. . . When I was through my father said, "What will you do with that dime?" "I have fifteen cents that I can put with it and have a quarter to buy a Thrift Stamp," said I. Mary Haseltine, 5A, Baxter School.

THE
PALLADIUM How I Eran My Money ; for Thrift Stamps I earn my Thrift Stamp money by making the beds, washing dishes, dusting up stairs and down, and shinning mother's and father's shoes. .. t ' . . ' In the' yard I pick up papers that fly about and dig weeds or dandelions that spoil the yard, sweep the sidewalks and then I polish - the automobile. ' I also run errands for my mother and Sometimes for my sister. This summer I will cut our grass and make some money. This is the way I made my sixteen stamps, for which 1 have a War Certificate. 1 am going to buy just as many more Thrift SUmps that I can. Katherine Weber, age 11, 6B, Baxter. Girl Saves Money The way I earn my money to buy Thrift Stamps is by helping mother do the house work. She gave me fifty cents with which to buy Thrift Stamps. I helped her dust and wash the dishes. When she went to Indianapolis she promised to bring me some candy. She forgot it and so she gave me twenty cents with which to buy some. I told her that I would earn another nicke and then buy a thrift stamp instead of candy. She gave me the other nickel. I also earned money by stamping freight bills for my father.

HOW TWO CHILDREN HELPED THE U. S. A. There were once two children, who were very poor. Their father and mother had ' died when they were young. There names were Glen and Mary. Glen was about eight years old and Mary was nine years old. They wanted to help Uncle Sam to win the war, like the other children were doing. So they thought up a plan to help Uncle Sam. Glen said, "I will go and sell newspapers and with the money I earn I can buy me a thrift stamp." Then Mary said, "I will go and work for Aunt and I can get some money with which to buy a thrift stamp." Mary'a-aunt was. very glad to have Mary to work for her. -. So the next Saturday, they went to work and Glen made sixty cents and his sister Mary made twentyfive cents. They went and bought three thrift stamps. They kept on working until they had four dollars each and then they bought themselves two war savings stamps. Glen and Mary continued working until they had four dollars each again like they did the other time. Then they bought themselves two more war savings stamps. Then they were very glad because they could do like the other children were doing. Thelma Kuhlman, 6ih grade, District No. 6, Boston township. MARTHA. Martha lived in Texas. She had no playmates, but the cowboys and her pony. Martha loved her pony very much. She liked nothing better than riding her pony over the prairie. One day after she had finished her work she harnessed her pony and went for a ride. She did not notice the big black clouds. When she was coming home a sand storm came up. During the storm she was thrown from her hore. She laid there for a long time. When she awoke she found that she was Ih her' own bed. The doctor was there. After he had gone, Martha asked why he had been there. Her father told her about the storm. She said, "Tess, I remember the storm." "Do not go on the prairie again unless you have an older person with you," said her father. -No." said Martha, "I'm very thankful that I have been saved." "Yes," said her father and he left the room.

WHAT WE CAN DO Many people think that because we are not on the firing line we have nothing to do, but we have something to do. The women can save in the kitchen and if they are able, can be nurses. The. men who can't be soldiers can work in the garden or knit. The boys and girls can knit, work for the Red Cross, gather tinfoil for the Red Cross and raise things. So you see everybouj has something to do. We ought to be thankful we have . a good home and can work in gardens. Don't grumble when mother or father says, "Do your work now." Think of those poor people in Belgium and different places were they are starving. We are doing this so that the people can rule peacefully forever with Liberty and Justice for All. Georgia Healy.
