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.

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

there in the fence corner great open

father paid her galfent attention.
Just outside the door of one homo

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

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.

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,

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.

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.

TDavld V. Huntsberger, age two
months, was unanimously eleated an

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. Other articles which go to make up an exceptionally important number of this
foremost American periodical are:

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

the soldiers enlisted from Pine Street

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.
