It is an unseen garment which by their industry, every Camp Fire girl will be adding to their evtry day costume, whatever it is, this magic uniform of her weav ing, which will make every girl ot only more beautiful in ap pearance but more kindly and helpful and happy wherever she may be." Every Community Should Have Camp Fire Girls The govesnment says the girls of America should be organized and the Camp Fire Girls is the organization to do it, for all girls should be members of an organ ization which is built on the sound basis of the home. There should be no town so small, no city so large, no place so obscure. vo place too sophisticated to have its group, or better, groups of Camp Fire Girls carrying the message of "Glorify Work." "Give Service" into every home in the United States. Some Truisms Girls use enough candy, sodas and chewing gum to support 2U, 000 soldiers. Saving one cent a day per per sen would be ten million dimes, one million dollars, or $365,000, 000 in one year. Fifty per cent of the money paid for food is wasted in Amer ica.

In Flanders Fields the poppies grow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; while in the sky The larks still bravely singing fly Unheard amid the guns below. We are the dead! Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, eaw sun sets glow, Loved and wert loved; and now we lie In Flanders Fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe; To you from failing hands we throw The torch be yours to hold it high! If ye break faith with us who die, We shall not sleep thourh pop pies blow In Flanders Fields.

Unfortu- there is often no special in eentive for a boy to save, so iim money which ho earns is liable t j be spent almost as soon as he geU it. Like every thing else one miu.'; make a special effort to acquir t tho habit of saving. There is .first or all, the bank, which one conceals in a convcii ieut place and in which ono pull a,uU thu oJd C()iiuj that he eail spare. Care should bo taken b have tho bank strong euougli and one out of which the owner cannot shake the coins, when , temptation to spend comes ovei him. If the bank opens with ti key it would be well for tho bo;' to give it into tho safe keeping, of a responsible adult, with tht instruction to keep it until a ccr ain date, or until the boy has ti definite purpose for which to us t lie money. And that brings us to the nex". step. It is much easier to savo for a certain thing or reason tha.? just merely to save. If the boy says in the beginning, "I wan camera and its going to cos; five dollars' he immediately ha a ditinite goal in sight, towarc- which lie can plug, lie can acur ately measure his progress ami tell just how near he is to th ud. The same spirit that keepi him bucking tho line in footbaK toward his opponents goal-post i will, if he amounts .to anything and has the "pep" of a real boy in him, spur him on. If a boy saves money in com petition with another, he is ilkely to do far betetr than if he goes i:; alone. There are any number ai suggestions as how to earn moD ey, which a wide awake boy can make use of. And if he adoptii them with a rival in view, he will go ahead much faster thai', he otherwise would. Competi tion truly is "the spice of life." Or a boy might set a definitu slint for himself, saying: "I am going- to save a quarter t hi i week and this money is going to lm the first 1 earn. All over thai amount which I receive thin week, I shall feel justified in spending in whatever sensibl way I want." To have an,' spending money at all therefore, tho boy would have to earn more than a quarter. A great many lads tackle the proposition th other way about. They save only when they have especially goM luck. June 20, is War Savings Stamp Day
