12 RNP NOTES OF THEiBOY StOUTS^ HIKE PARTY IN THREE SECTIONS Boys of Troop 13 Gain Valu able Knowledge on Jour ney Through Country Troop 13 assembled at the Boyd Memorial building at 11.80 Saturday, September 22, and In accordance with previous arrangements, the troop divided into three sections, the first leaving at 11.30 under the lead ership of the scoutmaster and com posed of the following boys: Dalsom Famaant, Earnest Orerle, Kussell Keller, Donald MacCamment, who acter as pathfinder. After crossing the Market street bridge they turned to the left and went through the Cumberland Valley subway and fol lowed the pike as far as the Mc chanlcsburg cutoff, where they left their lirst mark. This road was fol lowed to the railroad bridge, where another turn was made to the left, bringing them to Milltown road, which was followed for one mile, where another turn was made, sharp ly to the left, where another marker was made. A short distance from this turn is located the Milltown terminal, which was the terminal of the hike. Here the scouts made ready for their noonday meal, which consisted of pork chops, frankfurters, sweet pota toes and chicken corn soup. About the time the repast was ready to eat the air was shattered with a shout, which brought ever}' scout to his feet, as this was the sign that the second division, under Pa trol Leader Dreese, had arrived. With him came scouts Joe Shaff ner, Stanley Dreese, Robert Keller, Foster Keller, who had trailed the , division and produced the troop signs as proof. After eatitig dinner, the troop played several games, and a new game Invented by Dreese, which will be known as "the man and pack of j wolves." In the midst of one of these I games, another cry was again heard j from across the creek and a few min- j utes later in rushed Patrol Leaders | Hagar and Diffenderfer, and proving their ability to track by producing the further missing troop signs. Aft- i er spending the remainder of the 11 afternoon in playing games the troop I formed in marching order and pro- j ceeded at a very fast pace to wend | their way home, arriving at the Boyd Memorial Building in time to take a shower before la#*t call for supper.

FRIDAY EVENING, I Days on the Open Road | | By Red Cloud and Lone Star (Continued From Last Week) The flowers that bloom in the door yards along the way are the old favorites that were gathered and made into bouquets for the Boys in Blue who .marched away in the stirring days of '6l. Yellow' snap' dragons, crimson coxcomb, tiger llllles, blood red begonias and over there in the fence corner great open faced hollyhocks all lending to the little garden the same beauty as they did when grandma's cheeks were as red as the reddest petal when grand father paid her galfent attention. Just outside the door of one homo hangs an old rust eaten tin lantern The light is supplied by a candle and the rays shine out through holes punched in the side In a fancy de sign. History will tell you, that Just such lanterns were in daily use as far back as the fourteenth century and yet this one is so little thought of that when we ask whether the owner would be willing to sell it, we are told that it is ours if we care to go to the trouble of carrying It away. Scouts and Camp Fire Girls Have Good Time On Tuesday evening a crowd of sixty Camp Fire Girls of the Susque hannock • Council and Boy Scouts from Troop 6, enjoyed a moonlight hike and marshmallow toast to Spooky Hollow. The party was chaperoned by Mrs. Roscoe Bowman, guardian of the Camp Fire Girls and Senior Patrol Leader Harry Carson of the Scouts. A large roaring fire, old-time songs, plenty of laughter and a bright flood of moonlight all went to make the eve'ning enjoy-, able to those who went on the trip. J The Scout traits of observation. j bravery and service were brought in-! i to play last Wednesday evening at the scene of the/ire which destroyed | a large barn in the southern end of the city. A number of scouts under. Senior Patrol Leader Carson arrived* on the scene when only half thOj barn was in flames. Carson pointed; out at once that there might be] something of value in the end not yet | touched by the fire. A speedy in- j vestigation showed a loft in which j there was about 350 bushels of' onions. Two Scouts entered the barn I and began shoveling the onions into; large baskets which were carried i away by spectators and firemen. We are told that there is to be a dance in the prove to-night and we decide to remain for the fun. Toward sunset the dancers begin to arrive from the surrounding country. The dust of many miles of tramping is on many a heavy shoe while many dan cers arrive on saddle horses, In mule teams or creaking jenny llnds. Un couth mountaineers, brawny farmers from the valley, blushing country lasses, rustic gallants and a host of children pour in from every direc tion to dance, gossip, play ring games and eat ice cream and peanuts in the light of lanterns and flaming tor ches. The dance floor consists of a plat form of rough boards in the center of the grove and in the uncertain and flickering light, calico clad girls from fifteen to fifty years of age teach us the old square dance of fifty years ago. The fiddle begins to sing as the orchestra keeps time with his foot. There is a shuffling of feet as the dancers take there places. (To be Continued Next Week) * ~ ' President Asks Aid of Scouts In Loan Drive THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON September 20, 1917. My Dear Mr. Livingstone: Another opportunity has de- I vcloped for the members of tho Boy Scouts of America to help I our country. The second Liberty ! Loan Bond issue must be sub- i scribed for in such a way as to j show the firm resolution of our people i the present war. The gratifying achievement of Boy Scouts with the aid of their scoutmasters and leaders throughout the UUnited States in securing over $22,000,000 sub scriptions to the first Liberty Loan will serve, I hope, to make their work even more eflective In new effort. My earnest wish is that every leader give every boy scout an opportunity to take a definite part in this practical method of giving expression to his scout obligation of service to our country. Sincerely yours, (Signed) WOODROW WILSON. Mr. Colin H. Livingstone, President, National Council, Boy Scouts of America, Washington, D. C. S i * Boys' Secretary Is Interested in Scouts Scouts will be glad to know that' A. H. Dlnsmore, the new Sec- i retary of tho Harrisburg Y. M. C.' A., who has just arrived in the city, \ is very much interested in Boy Scout activities, and was connected with the movement in Great Falls, Mon tana. Mr. Dinsmore held the afHce' of Scout Commissioner for several | years and built a very successful | work in that thriving western city, j He has Issued an invitatiofi to all > the Boy S outs of Harrisburg and j vicinity to come in and meet him j and get acquainted with him, and to i that end he will be at the Y. M. C. A. building every jiight next week from 4 to 5.50, to meet the boys' personally. Mr. Dinsmore is a good scout, i boys. Give him a regular scout wel- J come! I MJEMISBRNTO <BSBW TELEGRAPH PRACTICE FOR SCOUT RALLY Troop 4 Palnning to Get Sev eral of Those First Places Practlcirig for the Scout Rally is the Initial feature of all nfeetings of Troop 4 at the present time. The members ore planning to take all the first places that they can get their hands on, and if the old adage holds good, "practice makes perfect," thore should be no trouble in their landing among the "higher ups." A casual onlooker, who happened to drop into Immanuel Church on a Mon day night, might think that rehearsals were In progress for . a three-ring circus, but upon inquiry would learn that the excitement, hub-bub and ap parent confusion was due only to the attempts of the various Scouts to mas ter the details connected with the pony express, the equipment race, and the cockflghtlng event. It is rumored that If any one Scout In the city suc ceeds in obtaining fire without matches at the rally, the honor will fall in Troop 4. Just what is being done, however, is a state secret and cannot be divulged at the present time. The boys are anxious to take an overnight hike at an early date, and Scoutmaster McAllister is watch ing the gyrations of the weather Indi cator, or a suitable prophecy. Troop 4 is rejoicing over the fact that Mr. Boyson has applied for commission as assistant Scoutmaster with the in tention of serving in that capacity in the above troop. Mr. Boyson was one of the charter members of the troop when it was organized in 1910, and was one of the first boys in Harris burg to become a first class Scout. He has always been Interested in the work and in the movement and will be of great assistance in Instructing the newer members and in leading the older ones in Scoutcraft. The troop has added several new Scouts to its membership, whose names follow; James Bossier, William Dickinson, Edward Keller, George liex and Bruce Smith. Plea For Scoutmasters Here Brings Results The short request for volunteer scoutmasters, which was printed in the Scout Page two weeks ago, produced definite results. One young man came into local head quarters and volunteered his ser vice. There must be others in the city who realize that a very def inite service can be rendered future America by responding to this call and taking charge of a troop of boys. No man should be backward about taking up scout ing because of a feeling of ignor ance concerning it. The program is carefully mapped out and can be followed step by step. Futher more, a training school for scout masters is going to be started in October and the fundamental as pects of the work will be thor ougly explained and taught to new and prospecitve scoutmasters at the weekly meetings. There are many boys in Harris burg anxious to go into Scouting but they need and must have adult leadership and supervision. Who will be the next volunteer? Call at 200 Calder Building and talk it over with the council of ficers. Needs Helpers For Scout Rally Scout Executive Stine wants six good willing workers to volunteer for service in connection with the Scout Rally. These volunteers will be used to help get the de tails of the meet in readiness. There are lots of things to do between now and October 12, and the Scout Executive will be glad ti hear from the various troops. Phone or come to Local Head quarters and signify your willing ness. Who'll be first? HOLDS OUTING I AT LOSH'S RUN | Troop 19 Hikes From Dun-, cannon; Scoutmaster is Leaving Troop 9 enjoyed the hospitality of; Patrol Lender Hamer when they spent last Saturday and part of Sun- j day at his brother's cottage at Losh's. Hun. The members of the troop who I were able to go, took the 1.30 train! for Duncannon, Saturday afternoon. From Duncannon they hiked to | Losh's Run a distance of about 8 iniles. On the way many experienc es befell them, two of which they will long remember. One, the going of about a mile through a towpath along the old Pennsy Canal with the mosquttos rapidly declaring war on them; the other, on going into the country store at Losh's Run, to find that sour balls were selling at 60 cents a pound. The members of the Troop who were able to enjoy this outing were: Assistant Scoutmaster John Paul, Robert Hamer, John Koch, Aug. Townaen and Ross Townsend. To Honor Prof. Poet Troop 19 is unfortunately losing their Scoutmaster, Prof. Peet, of Tech. High School, having accepted a position in the Toledo University. The members of Troop 19 are all sor ry to see him go as they all admire and respect him. The next meeting night, (Friday), being the last he can attend, the Scouts are planning to present him with a suitable token of their esteem. • Troop 19, although being organiz ed recently is planning a few entries in the coming Rally Day exercises. Scoutmaster Peet has worked hard to make this coming fete a success on the part of Troop 19 and great credit should be given him. JOHN C. KOCH. Scout Scribe. coon-nv YELLOW ORIOLE If is with deep regret that the members of Troop 6. bid good-by to William Richards (Yellow Oriole) who will leave Harrisburg on Sep ■ t ember 29 to go with his parents to their new home in California. Yel low Oriole is a typical American boy and a good Scout. He was chosen out of a field of seven con testants to represent the troop in the Pony Express race as the rider. It will be a hard matter to find another rider to fill the place with the same fitness as did the Yellow Oriole. It will also be hard to find a better Scout for the office *of Assistant Patrol Leader of the Gray Beaver Patrol. \ YOUNG MEMBER TDavld V. Huntsberger, age two months, was unanimously eleated an j honorary member of troop 8. ROY REEL —"Geronimo" Scout Scribe. Who Is Making the Profits Out of the War? Public condemnation of those who regard the war as a chance to make big profits is virtually unanimous . But opinion begins to divide when an attempt is made to identify these war profiteers. Thus A. C. Townley, President of the National Non-Partisan League, the new farmers' party, says, "There is a great dill erence between our patriotism, the patriot ism of the men who toil that the profiteers may make $4,000,000,000, and the patriot ism of the men who make the billions. While the farmers and otther producers have been raising crops to feed the armies of lib erty, making ships, and munitions, and im plement? of war, a lot of gentlemen have been spending their ample leisure in announc ing their patriotism. When you work sixteen hours a day for liberty and democracy, you have not-much time or will to wave the flag. ... If we were to put in as much time waving it as they do, the whole world would starve to death." On the other hand, the New York World in criticizing this same league of farmers, declares that "Every speaker in that interesting assembly holds that altho dollar wheat in time of peace was considered ideal, the cereal can not be profitably grown to-day un less the Government price is $3.00 a bushel." In the very interesting leading article in THE LITERARY DTGEST for September 29th, all phases of the subject of war profiteering are shown by quoting leading American newspapers and men like Herbert Hoover.

Sending Good Things to Eat to Soldiers Troop 13. of Pine Street Presby- j terian Church, had a very interesting meeting recently, when Dr. Hagan gave another ilustrated talk on the use of splints and the fol lowing committees appointed: Hike ■committee, which consisted of James I Byrem, Lome Bayles and Scout Shoe baurer: game committee, of Mr. Dreese, William Maglaughlin and Robert Keller, and refreshment com mittee of Scouts MacCammert, Orerle and Joe Shaffner. After the meeting the troop popped popcorn in the fireplace. The troop is packing "good things to eat" for the soldiers enlisted from Pine Street Church. The troops intends to act on four new applicants to the troop member ship. WM. FENSTEMACHEII, Scout Scribe. WHEN DO WE DIE? Investigation of the Question has interested Scientists Practically speaking, many people actually begin to die before they cease to live. Many times you see a comparatively young person with shrunken features and pallor that you might expect to find in a hospital ! ward. That unfortunate person is suffering from impoverished blood and every vital organ of the body be gins to die the moment the blood becomes impoverished. DK. CHASE'S BLOOD AND NERVE TABLETS have been prepared to feed the blood the elements it lacks and feed it quickly. The blood needs Iron. Dr. Chase's Blood and Nerve Tablets contain Iron in a most active and condensed form, so compounded with Nux Vomica, Gentian and other blood and nerve builders, that It can be assimilated or absorbed directly. When in perfect health the blood gradually draws these elements from the food you eat, but when the blood becomes Impoverished, it must have more direct nourishment. You should weigh yourself before taking DH. CHASE'S BLOOD AND NERVE TABLETS and note your daily increasing weight. For sale at all druggists. Price sixty cents. * SEPTEMBER 28, 1917.
