Card of Thanks
We desire to express our heart
felt thanks for the many ex
pressions of sympathy and the
many acts of kindness given us
In our recent bereavement when
we lost bur son and brother.
Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Evans and
Family.
Boy Scouts of America, now actively
engaged in aiding the United States
government in the sale of Liberty Bonds
and War Savings Stamps, in food and
fuel conservation, and in distributing
pamphlets and other literature for the
Department of Public Information, have
a serial photoplay being shown through
out the country, under their auspices,
providing in a keenly thrilling dramatic
story, an insight into the work done by
the British Boy Scouts, particularly in
the present war.
"Boy Scouts to the Rescue or Aids
of the Nation," which is played by
professional English adult and juvenile
actors, supported by Sir Robert Baden-
Powell and many of his British Boy
Scouts, will be seen at the Liberty
Theatre, Tuesday, October 15th in
ight reels.
arms or other weapons, then place
me under arrest and march me off to
the guardhouse. I bad not the slight
est Idea but that I was captured and
there didn't seem to be much use In
resisting, unarmed as I was and with
two other German soldiers within a
few feet of us.
Like a flash It suddenly dawned on
me. however, that for all this soldier
could have known I was only a Bel
gian peasant and that his object la
searching me, which he proceeded to
do, was to ascertain whether I hud
committed the common "crime" of
smuggling potatoes.
The Belgians were allowed only a
certain amount of potatoes, and It Is
against the lawa laid down by the
Huns to deal In vegetables of any
kind except under the rigid supervi
sion of the authorities. Nevertheless,
It was one of the principal vocations
of the average poor Belgian to buy
potatoes out In the country from
peasants and then smuggle them Into
the large cities and sell them clan
destinely at a high price.
To stop this traffic In potatoes, the
German soldiers were In the habit of
subjecting the Belgians to frequent
search, and I was being held up by
this soldier for no other reason than
that he thought I might be' a potato
smuggler!
He felt of my outside clqthes and
pockets, and finding no potatoes
seemed to be quite satisfied. Had be
but known who I was he could have
earned an Iron cross 1 Or, perhaps, In
view of the fact that I had a heavy
water bottle In my uplifted hand. It
might nave turned out to be a wooden
cross I
He said something lnf German,
which, of course, I did not understand,
and then some Belgian peasants came
along and seemed to distract bis atten
tion. Perhaps be had said: "It's all
light; you may go on," or he may
have been talking to the others In
Flemish, but at any rate, observing
that he was more interested In the
others than be was In me at the mo
ment, I put the bottle In my pocket
and walked on.
After I walked a few steps, I took a
furtive glance backward and noticed
the soldier who had searched me re
join bis comrades at the curb and then
top another fellow who bad come
along, and then I disappeared In the
darkness.
I cannot say that the outcome of
this adventure leftme In the same
confident frame of mind that followed
the earlier one. I was sure I had
come out of It all right, but I could
not help thinking what a terribly close
shave I had.
