from  the  severe  weather.
The Boy Scouts will appear la
unifonm or at least wear a Scout
badge conspiciously so that aa unauthorized person will not participate in this canvass. While it is likely that most housewives have already given garments to charity
relief organizations, it is hoped that
a further search for clothing will
be made. Even one garment from
home will materially assist The
Scouts hope to complete tiieir canvass by Saturday. It is requested
that parcels be ready when they
call, inasmuch as a large number of
second calls will slow up the progress
of the boys.
DEER REFUSED TO MOVE
One of the strangest phenomena
yet to be recorded fa the history of
slaughter of deer on the Ridge-
Philipsburg cutoff was put on the
books Sunday night when an unidentified motorist struck a large bock
very lightly while he attempted to
bring hla machine to a stop to avoid
a serious sccident with, the wild
beast. Witnesses state the deer lay
fa the road unhurt but very badly
stunned. Many passing-automobiles
stopped and th* occupants actually
petted the animal who made no all-
fort to escape* Finally the audience
which had gathered by this time decided it was best to send the graceful beast oftf into the woods to become the prey of hunters' bullets for
another week. A kick fa the ribs
brought the animal to its feet but
still it emulated Coolidge and didt
choose to run. After a few more
fair ladies petted it another kick
sent it calmly walking down the
middle of tbe road. Their it took the
combined effort of several men to
get the animal into the woods on a
gallop.
