Phone And One ot Our Trucks Will Call for Your Laundry Your Laundry TIis Girl Scouts Corner A Department Devoted to the Activities, Works and Plays of This Great Organization Girls have you heard about our play ivt are going to have? I feel sure most of you have for there Is orie, and’ In some cases two, from each of the ten troops who have been asked to be in it. so you see it is going to be a regu lar Girl Scout play. You will just love it, the name is "Why .They Gave a Show and How"—but now that i£ all I will tell you for the fun will be see ing it, and seeing a show is like read ing a book, you don’t want to know how it ends first, do you? So plan ahead right now to come to the Tiles ton school the night of Feb. 2nd and see just how well your sister scouts can give a show. ' The auditorium holds 600 people and it is up to you to fill it, see if we can’t have the wonderful experience of hav ing to sell "standing room;” we would hate to have any of our friends stand all through the show but then we know that would' be better than not seeing it, don’t you think? Just begin now in telling everybody about it and next week we will let you know about the tickets. News of the Troops. Troop 1 now has such an ideal meet ing place. Through the kindness of .Mr. IMann, the pastor of the Church of the Covenant and the governing board, they have been given the use of one of the large rooms in the Sunday school. Every one who knows that Sunday school will realize just what this means and we hope that in some way the scouts may have an opportuni ty to render a service to show their appreciation. Troop 2 has just received two boxes of more interesting scout equipment. I just wish each one of you could take a peep into them, you would not only he glad for them but it would make you want to work all the harder for you equipment, which I am sure you will do in time. Troop 3, I have more or less had' to neglect you, have treated you, in a way, like my “red-headed stepchild”— it has not been from choice at all, but one of my New Year’s resolutions was that I was going to be right with you from now on, so look for me most any time, we have wonderful times ahead! of us. Miss Edna Wilkins, captain (Grace Methodist church). That is five girls but now don’t he satisflejl with a small number, make your troop grow, bring new members and help Miss Wilkins take them through their tests so they will soon be sure enough scouts. Next week be sure and tell us all about your hike. X heard about Troop 5 wanting to meet on Christmas Day and New Year’s ton as they happened to fall cm their regular meeting, days. Keep it up, Troop 5, you have the right spirit. Troop 6 always does a "Good turn” the nights of their meetings. They know their captain, Miss Kohler and X walk to the church, so a bunch of them walk half way to -meet Miss Kohler then they all come to meet me, now don't you think that thought ful of them? I enjoy ,walklng with them so much that I am tempted to wait at home for them but don’t, for is so preciods to spend away from our (rood scout work. The past week I have had the pleas ure of presenting Tenderfoot pins to IS girls. Twelve In Troop 2 Monday night and four in Troop 7 Wednesday afternoon. These ceremonies are so lovely and mean so much to the girls that I am anxious for the mothers to come, thereafter girls, let's ask them. Troop S, 9 and 10 are growing right along, they are all nearly ready for their tenderfoot tests and are so inter ested in all they are ‘doing. • > Three new troops were-formed the hast week. Troop 11, Delgado -school, Miss C. Burnette, captain; Troop 12, Epworth Methodist church, Brooklyn; and Troop >13, Winter Park school. Miss Ruth Owen, captain, Mrs. Edward Schulken, Lieutenant. Welcome to our I " ' REPORT OF TROOPS. Troop No. 1, Cardinals. The Girl Scouts of Troop No. 1 held their regular business meeting Friday afternoon at 4.30 o'clock in the girls’ club room at the Church of the Cove nant. Scout Lieutenant Miss Ida Ben son was elected chairman of the meet ing, Gwendolyn Sailings treasurer, and Elsie Cutts secretary. The meeting was carried out in regular parliamen tary order. There was a suggestion made that we change the time of the meetings from 4:30 o’clock to -4:00 o'clock it got dark so early. We did not decide upon this, however, as there were not enough members there t<. vote on it. Mary Benson was electee scribe at this meeting. As there wat no further business a motion was madt that the meeting adjourn. After the meeting the scouts playeo several very interesting games, aftei which we were discissed with the pledge of allegiance, the scout laws and oats. MARY BENSON, Scribe, Trooj 2— Pine Cone Scouts On the night of January 8, Troop 2 had one of its most interesting meet ings possible. Twelve girls of our troop received the tenderfoot pins, which were presented by Mrs. King, quoting, “This makes you a Girl Scout and you may wear it as long as you are worthy of it.” Those receiving pins were: Miss Elsie He'nniker, captain | and Scouts Thelma Reece, Virginia j Jackson, Nellie Foster, Grace Marine, Annette Haney,. Lillian Spooner, Ger j trude Long, Eunice Taylor, Eleanor Taylor, Eleanor Edwards, Marjory ! Taylor Grace Zellers and Mary Davis. We were very pleased over our pins, and we are just as proud to wear them as to wave “Old Glory” at the head ot our troop. We are going to try to show' our appreciation to Mrs. King for the pins by becoming a second class scout as soon as possible. Those 12 girls are going to start work on a merit badge next Monday. They have selected the “Health Win ner” first, and I am sure that each girl is going to do her best in winning one of these. Next Monday night we are also going to start work on our second class tests. We were all very pleased, indeed, to have Mrs. King with us Monday night, who told us about the Girl Scout play to be given in the Tileston school audi torium on February 2. Scout Eleanor Edwards has been appointed to repre sent our troop in that play, and we earnestly hope that it will be a suc cess. All of our scouts were not present it this meeting. We had only 24. So every scout is expected to be present Monday night. A business meeting will be held. ELEANOR EDWARDS, Scribe. Troop No. 3 The Daffodil Girl Scouts of Troop 3 wishes to report 2t) present at the last meeting1, held January 10, 1923. We opened the meeting by saying the scout promise, the slogan and the motto. Then we sang the “Star Span gled Banner." After we finished the opening exercises a business meeting was held. One of the questions dis cussed at the business meeting was, should the troop buy the Daffodil badge or their troop flag firstjc It was decided to buy the badges first, and the flag later. One of the reasons we chose the badges was so each girl having a scout suit would have her bad°re to wear to the Girl Scout' £lay. which will be held February 2. The dues collected at this meeting amounted to 75 cents. ' j We were glad to have Mrs. King*with us to help direct the meeting. MIRIAM Iodine, Scribe. Report of Troop 3Vo. 5 At our last meeting..January 8, 1923, after having our opening exercises, w« had a small business meeting. As a good many of 6ur girls have been com ing late, we decided to fine, each om five minutes for every 10 minutes laH they are. We started our second clas( work, beginning with boxing the com pass. Most of the girls learned 16 points perfectly. After that we plgyed a game, called "Kinis.” Our next meet ing will be a hike and a meeting com bined, beginning sharply at 3:30 O’clock. We enjoyed having Mrs. Kind with us Monday, and hope she wiA come again. . ANNIE RAY ZELLERS, Scribe. Troop 6 The “Pansy Troop” held their regula! meeting at 8 o’clock Friday night After Our business session we were de lighted to have Mrs. King tell us about the "Girl Scout Play” which the scout ! from each troop will take part Lillian Weaver has been appointed to repre sent our troop. Mrs. King showed us the merit badges, and we hope soon to be the proud .possessor of many. The girls that have passed their tenderfoot test have started their second class work, which they find .very interesting steps toward the "Golden Eaglet” After having much fun playing the new games Mrs. King taught up, we formed a circle and sang "Taps,” and was dis missed ty a short prayer. Girls,- make this one of your new y-ear resolutions: “Be' at scout meeting every week on time and earn a gold star.” LILLIAN WEAVER. Scribe. Troop No. 7 Atv our last meeting. Wednesday, January 10, we had 12 girls present, with Miss Alice Walker in charge We were sorry Miss Murchison was ou of town, for four girls received thei tenderfoot pins: Edith McDaniel, Hen rietta Sparrow, Mary Stevenson an Virginia P.-Ilamy. • At our business meeting* we talke of a hike we are going- to take on Sat urday. Eight more girls are ready t take their tenderfoot test and will d so next week. MEADE BELDEN. » Scribe Protein.

MARGARET KALNER, Scribe. Troop Xo. 10 Troop 10, the Tileston school troop held its regular meeting Tuesday after noon at 4 p. m., in the school audito rium. Preliminary to the routine busi ness a number of games were playec and thoroughly enjoyed. The troop is developing a fine social spirit, and the enthusiasm with which the prograir for the meeting was carried out was a splendid manifestation of the morale ol the troop. During the short business meeting, Thelma Hufham, of the sixth grade, was elected chairman; Bernice Outlaw, secretary; Sadie Johqson. treasurer. Plans for future meetings1 were discussed, and a committee ap pointed to develop still more interest in troop work. The troop is deep in the intricacies of cordage, and some time was spent in demonstrating the unreliability of .a “Granny” knot, and the steadfast Qualities of the /'square,” and in study of the simpler knots and bonds. This troop has been very recently organized, and the progress already made augurs well for excellent work, especially during the milder weather of the coming spring months. / NEW ORLEANS COTTON REVIEW. ,NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 14.—Price swings In the cotton market last week were upward in a decided way and they carried the active positions to new high levels for the season, March trading as high as $27.30 a pound and October as high as $25.48. Favorable trade accounts and a strong demand from spots were mainly responsible for the strength. At the highest of the prices were 9'3 to 116 points over the close of preceding week. Net results were gains of 87 to 114 points, March closing at $27.25. In the spot depart ment middling gained 37 points at $27.25. Middling went as high as $27.3S, a new high price for the season. Trade accounts were sufficiently good to more than offset anything unfavor able in European politics and even the French occupation of German terri tory failed to 'depress the market traders working on the theory that decisive action on the part of France might mean constructive results even tually. Cloth and mill centers of this country continued to report a strong demand at higher prices for nearly all lines of cotton cloths and on Tuesday, in four hours trading, the largest deifim mills in the world, located in this country, sold their production for five j months. Manchester sent over the most 1 favorable reports in a long time, the gist of which was that English spin ners and manufacturers were doing a much better businfcs^, with a large j trade in cloths with India and a better inquiry from China. This coming week the market will be from holidays for the first time in three weeks. On the opening Monday, the Census Bureau will issue its report on American mills for December. The main item in these statistics will be in, regard to consumption, which private" bureaus have forecast as ligely to be under the consumption' for November. Some brogers houses point out ^that these consumption figures might be sufficiently low to cause temporary depressions but most brokers and trad ers seem to think that the near future will bring further favorable reports on trade from both American and Eng lish cloth markets. Draws Royal Flush; Dies Pulling in Chips DAVENPORT, Iowa, Jan. 14.—“A royal flush”, exclaimed Charle* Hass, while at the home of a friend, playing, poker Saturday afternoon. He had dis carded two cards and picked up a Jack and 10 of spades, filling out a premier hand. As he reached for the chips he fell dead of a paralytic stroke.

(Suefhl to the Star) * LUMBE RTONT, Jan. 14.—With depos t j its of more than two and a quarter ?‘million dollars Lumberton’s three . | banks—National Bank or Lumberton. * i First National and Planters Bank and * i Trust company—are in a prosperous . ’ and healthful condition. The annual » ! meeting- of the "Stockholders and direc . | tors of the three banks were held this i week and all the old officers were re jelected. i Deposits in the Lumberton banks at I the time of the annual meetings to talled $2,287,209.50, as corripared with | $1,621,192.22 on the same date last year, an increase of $666,017.48. This gain of more than a half million dol lars in deposits would indicate that the citizens of Lumberton and surrounding territory are in better shape financially now than they -were a year ago. Plans are on foot for making Lum berton a more beautiful town. At a ; recent meeting of the Lumberton Home Demonstration club, called to consider j this matter. A. W. McLean, of Lumber I ton. and R. G. Derick, of Greensboro, i outlined plans for beautifying the river front in town and the space do j tween paved streets and sidewalks. A joint met ting of the members of the cotton and tobacco co-operative marketing associations in Robeson county will be held in the court house in Lumberton Tuesday morning at 11 o’clock. Rians for organizing the mem bers into district locals will be outlined at this meeting. Dr. C. T. Pate, of Raynham, a director of the Cotton Co operative Marketing association, ana C. C. Zimmerman, of Raleig-h, will ad dress the meeting and a large number of farmers are expected to attend. N. B. Evans, a representative of the Tobacco Growers Co-operative Market ing association, spent three days here this week for the purpose of making settlement with contract-breakers in Robeson county. In most cases settle ! ment was perfected, though it is likely j that suit will be brought against a few who sold their crop on the open mar ket. Congressman H. L. Lyon, of the sixth district, has introduced in the house a bill providing for the erection of a postoffice buildinir in Lumberton. The | government purchased a lot here for j , that purpose several years ago and it i is thought that an appropriation will j be made for erecting a building on this lot ' A number of unusually larke*porkers have been killed in Robeson county this i winter.* One of the largest reported so ! far was killed this w'eek by J. T. Ham ilton. of Marietta, which weighed 850 pounds dressed. / THE OLD HOME TOWN BY STANLEY 'DONTYOU BOYs\ BRine, THAT CARPET BACK TILL YOUVE BEAT EVE HOLD ER NEWT ) ,SHES AREARIH ) ) ?
