WHY NOT HAVE GIRL SCOUTS OF AMERICA AN ORGANIZATION NEEDS THE TONIC OF SUCH Girls' Athletic League in New York LASSIES AS WELL-AS LADDIES PLYMOUTH PROSPECTS Many people who like girls are just a little jealous of the great amount of attention being paid to the boys in the Boy Scout movement, and the almost absolute neglect of the girls. If we would develop a higher type of being in the next generation, we must not overlook the girls for they are to have a part in our future civilization and the level to which they rise will be largely the stratum on which the boys will become. Why all this over proportion of effort being expended on our juvenile males? Is it because they need it more, because we love them best, because they are more worth saving, because if nothing is done for them they are more likely to go astray, or is it merely "because"? No unprejudiced person will concede that it is any of the above reasons but the latter. Our growing girls need something interesting to do. When a girl has outgrown the stage of mud pies, dolls and playing house, there is liable to come a void into her life and this at the critical age when she is most restless, most in need of new diversions, and most lonesome for companionships. Unless some "safe and sane" associations, some wisely directed club life, some vigorous activities are provided for her she will develop into either the vapid pussy cat sort who "sits around," or wandering abroad in search of more active interests, she is in danger of falling into all sorts of errors. " Something to do" is the craving of young life, and the one who does not want something to do will not amount to a row of pins. What have our Plymouth girls to do but to "run the streets" for diversion? True, have taken care of themselves well. They are as modest, as capable, as charming as are to be found anywhere and yet the lack of wholesome entertainment is a dangerous thing to permit. There is an organization for girls similar to the Boy Scouts and Mr. Powell who recently organized the boys' chapters in Plymouth is familiar with it. Many people who know of this are awaiting eagerly his return in the hope that he will organize a like splendid association for our girls. Two Plymouth teachers have expressed themselves as willing to give their services gratuitously to such a cause. No doubt there are many smilarly minded. In New York state is an organization known as the Girls' Athletic League. Twenty thousand girls, between the ages of eight and fourteen, belong to it. Its purpose is to foster exercise for thousands of misses who need more vigorous diversions. Mrs. James Spever, a teacher, is the founder. She believes that the first requisite for a person is to be a good animal. "The mental and physical superiority of the American woman," says Mrs. Spever, "is due largely to her training in athletics. Health is beauty to a great extent and of course the health and physical development of the school girl means the welfare of the race. ''This league was organized because we found that while everything possible was being done for the promotion of the boys' athletics, no attention was being paid to the athletic training of girls. We were organized as an auxilary to the boys' league. Our first difficulty was with the girls themselves. "We did not find anything which really interested them until folk dancing was introduced. The idea of health and exercise is more acceptable to girls if it is accompanied by the idea of beauty. Men and women are continually studying the young-

Plymouth, Ind

sters in the hope of finding those games which will interest them most and at the same time yield the maximum of exercise that makes for health and growth. Athletic fetes are held annually and those girls who have been declared by physicians, physically fit, compete for prizes and honors. A certain standard of scholarship is also required." No Huckleberry Crop This YearCan von realize what it means? Xo rood old-fashioned huckljberrypie. for us this season. No; for tho hard rain of last Saturdav spjiled it all. The old saying is "Let it rain on June 24th and. there will he no huckleberries that year." Any oil settler will cheerfully affirm that this is only too true. Why! Even J. W. Siders, one of our oldest inhabitants himself agrees to it and is informing everyone as to what they may exnect. Now if any one knows4 surd, it i' he, our famous weather prophet and story-teller. Mr. Siders tel's us how when he first came here, a good, many years aero (he won't mention the exact number) the "eldest inhabitant" told h'm what to expect should it rain on June 24th. And it did! What hanrened? Why the bier irest croo of "bucks" for many a vear! But then, the "oldest inhabitant" explained all that bv saving that the berries had ripened before the storm and so couldn't erow backwards to fulfill the prophecv. But the question is. Yrhvt about this year ? Shall we ,eat huckleberry pie or shall we substitute pranks? Did the hc-iries "get ripe before the rain" or are tlvey graluallv wither-, ing away? Huckleberries are already in the market and onlv 15e a quart at that. We have all heard .the stories about cherries and strawberries. And on several occasions our prophet? have hit it ri?ht. In a few days ' we shall lt able to se whether they are right this time or not. Put. of course, all must understand that if we should aceidentallv have a big crop of "huckleberries" it will not be the old inhabitants that ar wrong. Farbe it from such. It will be the fault of the berries where thev are so cheerfully ripened although all prophecies were against this course of action. SLAP FRENCH MINISTRY Chamber of Deputies' Vote Indicates Lack of Confidence. Premler Monis Decides to Resign and His Associates Will Probably Follow Suit. Paris, June 24 The French, ministry was defeated in the chamber of ?eputlesby a vote of 248 to 22S. As the question of confiQence was invohed in the vote, the resignation of the ministry is anticipated. Premier Monis has decided to resign. He could not do it at once, as President Fallieres 4s at Rouen, attending the celebration there. The recent cabinet was formed on Mfch 2, with M. Monis as premier. He succeeded M. Aristide Briand, whose cabinet resigned Feb. 2,7. The debate in the chamber previous to the vote arose over a speech made by General Goiran.the minister of wai, in the senate on Tuesday, in which he said that in time of peace the office of generalissimo, commander-in-chief of the. army; did not exist. General Goiran added to this the declaration that in time of war the supreme direction would be in hands of the council of ministers. The speech created much excitement throughout the country In spite of the efforts of Premier Monis to explain it away. The first person named a?- a successor to Monis is Georges Clemenceau.

FIRE

BY BIG

HOUSE ON SOUTH STREET OWNED BY J A MOLTER BURNS DOWN SMALL INSURANCE Dwelling Was Occupied by Family of Frank Mills, Who Were Not at Home at the Time The two-story frame dwelling on South street which belonged for years to the late Mrs Pohl caught fire Friday night between 8:30 and 9 nearly burning to the ground. The building was formerly a boarding house but is now a two family dwelling. Frank Mills, a plasterer lived in the east half the other half being unoccupied at present. It is thought the fire started in the kitchen. Although there had been no fire in the range since noon, the chimney could easily have become overheated and a slowly burning fire started, which made no headway until it came in contact with the wood. The stove was set close to the wall. A lamp had been left burning on the kitchen table and at first it was thought by some that the fire might have started in this way but it is reported by one of the first on the scene that the lamp was left burning until the roof caved in. The building is an old one and when it once caught fire burned like so much tinder. The back part of the house was almost burned to the ground. All of the Mills family were away from home at the time. Mr. Mills being in Argos and the rest of the family were down-town They did not know it was their home that was in flames until they with the hundreds of other curious and excited people reached the scene of the conflagration. For this reason there was considerable delay in sending in the alarm. After the alarm had been sent in a second delay was due to the fact that no horses were available for the hose cart as one of them had been hired out. Also several of the firemen were at the theatres and thus were hindered in reaching the engine house. However when the boys did get there they did remarkably quick work and it was not long before the fire was under control. Fortunately very little breeze was blowing and so the near by buildings were not so greatly endangered as they might have been. Most of the furniture had been saved before the fire was at its height, although much of it was water soaked and some few pieces were destroyed by fire. What was saved was stored in the old planing mill over night and earlv this morning the former occupants of the place moved into the first house north of the Church of God on Water street. Mr. Miller had $300 insurance on his goods, while J. A. Molter, the owner of the building, had but $600 on the house. Mr Molter had intended to remodel the dwelling in the near future and for this reason had not carried a larger insurance. The exact loss can not be determined at this time but will no doubt exceed the amount of insurance. It was remarkable that so great a number of people reached the place so soon. But that part of the sky was lit up and this was noticed by many before the whistle was heard. Then as usual everyone rushed to the scene of excitement. PUMPING IS SUSPENDED Other Work Now Being Done About Wreck of the Maine. Havana, June 22.

President La Barra will not assist the Madero government Lfter his picscnt term expires, according to well authenticated reports which have been in circulation within the last few cays. At all events it is knojvn that he has xefused the place in the cabinet offered by Francisco I. Madero during the conference between the latter, D? La Barra and General Reyes some wee!:s ago. v. hen it wps staled that t!ie foreign relations rcrifclio had Leen offered to the president and the min'stry of war to Reyes. The explanation of De La Basra's action is said to be that he -is dissatisfied with several obligations v.hieh Msdero undertook with the T'nlted States interests before and during tie :eolition. The president thinks it is either impolitic or impossible to fulfill these obligations and refuse? to have anything to dc vith the business. In a public interview President De La Barra also refused to be considered as a candidate for the presidency. The efforts made in several sta'.es to re establish order have degenerated Into ccmeoy. Besides Gurnajato, where four novrrr.ors were appointed and deposed in seven days, Zrcatee'is, Jalisco and other states are in difficulties. In Zacatccas several grouj s of revolutionists refine to reeopnize the governor who was appointed by Madero. while 'more than twenty candidates h:ne offered themselves at the coming olectiens. In Jalisco the newly appointed ?:over;ior. celebrated his entrance jr.to power by ejecting the legislature cm;;letc!y ara aerlurii:; that all the merv.leis had been elected and therefore had no rignt to retain office. He closed and sealed the doors of the legislative nails. The legislature refused' to be fired and the members have appealed to the national government.

DeWitt, formerly of Plymouth but now living at Niles, Mich, was in the city Saturday. He came with "Custer's Massacre" and showed at the Orpheum Friday night. It proved to be a most unlucky visit for the Colonel. At ten o'clock Friday night Constable Pelton and Dan Jacoby called to see him. Accordingly he was arrested on a capias issued by the Justice and served by Pelton for his numerous debts here. His bond was fixed at $100 which he refused to pay. although a roll of over $125 was taken from his person. His next move was to book himself for the night at Hotel Falconbury. Saturday morning he asked for time to get a bondsman but finally cocluded to settle his bills. The following were presented and paid:---T. O. O'Keefe.................
