She is Dutch , being the second daughter of the late Count de Zuylen de Nyevelt , of the Council of State of the Netherlands . BIRMINGHAM BOY SCOUTS . TO OUR READERS . Owing to the war we are suspending some TO THE EDITOR OF THE Ross Gazette . SIR , May I , through the medium of your paper , express the thanks of the First Selly Park ( 91st . Mid ) Troop of Boy Scouts , to the residents of Ross , for the kind way in which of our regular features for the present . We they treated the Scouts , during their stay shall continue to give prominence to all local in the town . We very much appreciate their kindness . affairs , and we can assure our readers that I should like personally to thank the we shall do all in our power to keep them Rector , Mr. Lucas , Miss Marshall , the well informed as to all important events tradesmen and other residents in and around during this grave crisis , particularly as they Ross , for the splendid way in which they affect our own districts . The war is seriously have received and helped the troop . We affecting the supplies of paper , both on ac hope to visit Ross again next year . I have heard that some of the residents in count of the enormous editions that are the town would like my band to play the being , printed daily and the stoppage of sup- Territorials home .

Dawlish Road , Bournbrook , Birmingham . BOY SCOUTS . TO THE EDITOR OF THE Ross Gazette . SIR , May I ask for the publication in your valuable paper of the attached letter from Lieut - General Sir R. Baden - Powell . I have already initiated the necessary steps , and would earnestly trust that the scheme may receive the cordial support of the whole county . Your obedient servant , ELLIOTT WOOD , County Commissioner . 4-8-1914 . can now In this time of National emergency , comes the opportunity for the Scoute organisation . to show that it can be of material service to the country . The Scouts give valuable assistance to the State at home- and for this their training and organisation has already to a great extent fitted them . Their duties would be non - military , but would in some cases come within the scope of police work , and these would be carried out under the general direction of the Chief Constable of each county where he cares to utilize the services of the Scouts . These duties would include the following : ( a ) Handing out notices to inhabitants , and other duties connected with billeting , commandeering , warning , etc. ( b ) Carrying out communications by means of despatch - riders , signallers , wireless , etc. ( c ) Guarding and patrolling bridges , cul- verts , telegraph lines , etc. , against damage by individual spies . ( d ) Collecting information as to supplies , transport , etc. , available . among inhabitants . ( e ) Carrying out organised relief measures ( f ) Helping families of men employed in de- ( g ) Establishing first - aid , dressing or nursing fensive duties , or sick or wounded . stations , refuges , dispensaries , soup kitchens , etc. , in their club rooms . ( h ) Forwarding despatches dropped by air- craft . With their ability to rig their own shel- ters , to cook their own food , and to regulate their own roster of duties in the patrols , the Scouts are already organised in the best practical units for such duties . THE WAR AND THE HARVEST . To THE EDITOR OF THE Ross Gazette . SIR , In this time of stress , it is the duty ( It is assumed that they will be excused of everyone to help in any way they can . from school attendance by the education We cannot all go to the front to fight our committees , and from work by the employ- country's battle ; but may I , through your ers ) . The above list does not exhaust all columns , suggest to our townsmen and the duties which they might undertake ; it others , who can in any way spare the time , merely gives an outline which commissioners that they may do a national service by going can no doubt elaborate to suit their respec- into the country and assist in the ingather - tive areas , after consultation with their ing of the harvest . Chief Constables and Defence Authorities . Our food supply may ere long be of more I am confident of one thing , and that is , importance to us , than even the shouldering that all ranks will pull together with the of a rifle . The harvesting this year is rend - greatest cordiality and energy on this unique ered more difficult by the laid condition of occasion for doing a valuable work for our the crops , and the withdrawal from the King and country .. fields of large numbers of men , who have so " nobly responded to their country's call to arms . I would also most earnestly appeal to those Trade who have leisure , and usually spend much of their time in games and rivolities , give them up for the time being , and do some- thing for their country's good .

Wood , were August 6th , I have already had turnip seed you must not worry , I could not be better successful . sown on three - quarter acre of land , just off than with the P .. family . cleared of vetches . I hope , as more is clear- ed , to sow quite 1 acres in all , on ground which in an ordinary way would have been sown with mustard for sheep feeding , or green manuring . Also I have had a quanti- ty of cabbage seed sown in the garden bord- ers , to be transplanted later in a field . To- day my gardeners are busy making an extra sowing of onions and carrots on potato ground , only just cleared , which in the or- dinary way would have laid fallow . Should not all farmers who may have a few acres of cleared ground do the same To say nothing of the National importance of additional food supply in case of emergency , it might pay them well . Further , I would venture to suggest that every farmer might allow his labourers a few rods of additional land to crop for their families , with such vegetables as may still be Beautiful Hair- long , thick , glossy , and free from every trace of scurf and dandruff is always possessed by those who use grows for winter or spring womeLavona Hair Tome C.

Also that those who have gardens might sow cab- bage seed now , and distribute the plants at normal prices , when the planting - out time comes . Yours faithfully Pengethly , Ross , August 11th , 1914 . P.S. - I have been , told since writing the above that our townsmen , Messrs . Bussell and Pike , have already promised to give packets of turnip seed to anyone applying for it either customers or non - customers . All honour to them , and may many take ad- vantage of their liberality . Hairspecialists and physicians advise its use , and chemists have such faith in its efficacy that they give purchasers a signed guarantee to refund the price paid in full should it fail to give satisfaction . If your hair is thin and lustreless -if it is being choked and killed by dan- druff you should obtain a bottle of this wonderful guaranteed Lavona Hair Tonic to day . It is sold locally by : - ALBERT PORTER , of 13 , High - street , and other high - class chemists everywhere . WALFORD AND THE WAR . - A meeting of men is to be held at Walford Schools on Friday .

" Ross Red Cross Soole ENTHUSIASTIC LADIES ' MEETI The great and keen interest shown work of the local Ladies ' Red Cross S was never more manifest than on Th morning last , when a meeting of the branch was held in the Lower School Ross .

R. Money - Kyrle . Among those present w the leading ladies of Ross and district . Mrs. FOSTER , in her opening speech there was only one thought upperm their minds and hearts that day , and thought was of their country and the men who had gone forth to figh It . This war had been forced them so suddenly that they hardly re what it meant and would mean in th of suffering and sorrow . To - day they face to face with the most hideous v any century , and she asked them : can we do here ? " She thought ther only one question that came almost to heart , and that was : " What can I help . " That was the reason why th called them together that morning . had come there to take into consider scheme which had been ably worked d Mrs. Currey , and Commander Hudson tell them about what the county com were doing . But the whatever W it should he done cooly and being hysterical . What they did have to be sanctioned by the County mittee , which was to hold a meeti Hereford on Friday . What they desire to get all the different parishes in the district to help in whatever work the c committee desired them to do . She w ing to ask Mrs. Currey to lay before her scheme . She felt that the sooner got to work the better .
