SCOUTING NOTES
■ ■
By J. H. STINE, Scout Execu
tive.
Headquarters would like to know
how many boys are studying the
Scout handbook regularly and thor
oughly. There is a great deal of
"scoutcraft contained in the little
book with the red covers and any
boy who makes a consistent effort to
master the different branches will
soon become an able scout.
Supposing the next time you're in
at headquarters you tell us how
much you use the book and that will
give us a line on how the real funda
mental issue of scouting is progress
ing in Harrisburg.
Have you noticed the chart in the
Scout Executive's office, which
shows how each troop stands? You
ought to look in and see it if you
haven't. Every scout is represented
bya colored pin and each color
stands for a scout class. Thus green
Is for a tenderfoot, red for second
class, yellow for first class, and pink
for candidate. At present it seems
that there are all together too many
green pins on the chart and they
ought soon to be changed to red, and
later to yellow. It is hoped at head
quarters to keep the chart "alive"
by putting a record of examinations
passed and to do this will require the
co-operation of every troop.
(MJIKCY BOYS ENLIST
Waynesboro, Pa., Oct. 19.—Superin
tendent H. J. Kitzmiller, of th Quln
cy United Brethren Orphanage, near
Waymesboro, reports that he has had
messages from a number of the for
mer boys of the orphanage who have
answered the call of their country
and are serving In the Army and
Navy. Mr. Kitzmiller writes that
while the service In a sense means
an interruption of their plans, there
Is no doubt that the military experi
ence will be valuable to them.
Boys Will Be Awarded
War Bond Medals With
High Honors Tonight
All boy scouts of Harrisburg are
wanted at the Y. M. C. A., to-night,
at 7 o'clock, sharp, to help In the
ceremony of awarding War Service
emblems to the seven, boys who
earned them in the last Liberty Loan
Campaign.
The meeting begins at 7 sharp,
which doesn't mean five minutes
after 7.- It is important to be on
time, and, if possible, be in uniform.
Fahnestock Hall, the large hall at
the Y. M. C. A., is the place. Mayor
Bowman expects to be there to talk
to the boys anil the Court of Honor
and Councit officers will also be on
hand. There should be 400 or 500
Boy Scouts out to help make this a
success.
f \

WANTS TROOP
AT MEETING
Every Member of 7 Urged to
Attend Ceremonies
Tonight
On account of a musical held at
Harris and Susquehanna streets at
troop headquarters. Troop 7 will take
an active part in the exercises to bo
held at the Y. M. C. A. Hall in place
of their regular meeting.
The troop will assemble ready to
leave the church at 6.40 p. m., so as
to arrive at the hail promptly at 7
o'clock. They will appear in full uni
form as far as possible. Every mem
ber of the troop should feel highly
honored as there are three Scouts
from this troop to receive medals.
Every member present is the request
of the scoutmaster.
A very instructive and pleasant
hike was taken last Saturday to
Landls Gap, by sixteen members in
charge of scoutmaster and patrol
leaders, Samuel Krebs and Paul
Strine.
Very few chestnuts were found.
Herbert Lambert found the largest
one and he was afraid to try to share
it for fear he would not get a taste
himself. The weather was ideal and
the fall color of the trees and wild
flowers made it an enjoyable trip to
all. When the top of the mountain
was reached it did not take long for
it to resemble a real 'picnic lunch
scene. Of the twenty-live miles trav
eled, twelve were made by trolley.
Several more hikes are planned for
the next several weeks.

Scouts Are Shown
Wrestling Tricks
Dr. Shepperd being unable to de
liver his second talk on first aid to
the Injured, the scouts of Tro'op 19
were shown a few wrestling tricks
and some holds by their new scout
master, G. M. Moffat, who took Bome
honors in wrestling while attending
State College. One of the scouts who
was used for demonstration said he
felt sort of on the blink after the'
evening was over.
Before the meeting last Friday!
night a short football signal practice!
was given the squad and several new j
foot formations were tried out to the 1
satisfaction of Mr. Nebinggr, the I
coach. In all probab'lity a last prac
tice wilf be held on the coming Sat
urday and the season opened in two
weeks. All fellows who desire to I
play on the team must be present at
all practices both signal and* scrim
mage. % j
Assistant Scoutmaster John Paul, I
of Grace Church, has been chosen
to represent that church at the com
ing convention of older boys In con
nection with the Y. M. C. A. at
Berwick. Mr. Moffat having to be
absent also, Mr. Rowe of the chupch
will be in charge of the meeting.

POULTRY WISE.
That Thanksgivirtg turkeys are not
as fine birds as are Christmas tur
keys is a statement for which Good
Housekeeping is responsible. The
following quotation is from the Oc
tober issue:
"Turkeys require a considerable
degree of cold to develop proper tex
ture. The Thanksgiving turkey is
not a superior bird, its popularity to
the contrary notwithstanding, be
cause at Thanksgiving the weather
has not been cold long enough to
bring out his best_ qualities. The
Christmas turkey is'far superior.
"The wise housekeeper will learn
the various seasons for different
kinds of birds. She will know, for
instance, that the first rftiuab chlck
eiys or baby broilers appear on the
market about the last of March, and
that the larger broilers come in dur
ing April and last through August,
'he frying chicken makes Its ap-
pearancb In July; the roasting chick
en during August or September, anH
the capon Is at Its best during De
cember, January and February. The
fowl for soup or fricasse may be had
at all seasons of the year, but la
moro costly at some times than
others, and the same may be said of
the old rooster. Ducks and geese
are at their best during the cold
weather."
21 OCTOGENARIANS
AVERAGE 1,055 YEARS
Stroudsburg, Pa. Twenty-four
Monroe County octogenarians had I
their annual reunion here, and with
paper and. pencils figured they had
lived 1,955 years, an average of
eighty-one and a half yearß.
And only one ascribed his pro
longed years to abstemiousness. He
is Emanuel Mosier, a mere youth o{
eighty-five, who hud announced that
he yet has to really know what to
bacco is, for he never has smoked
nor chewed It. After comparing
notes'about the last 865 days, they
got down to business by electing
these officers:
President, C. L. Lewis Waters,
seventy-five years; vice-president,
Aaron Reimer, eighty-nine years;
secretary and treasurer, Charles
Yetter, seventy-five years. H. R.
Blesecker, who is ninety and han
been president for three ytars, re-1
fused re-election.
KNEELS BY HUSBAND
AND SHOOTS HIM DEAD
Denver, Colo.—After kneeling at
the bedside of her sleeping husband
and breathing a prayer for his soul,
Mrs. Patrick Henry Riley drew a re
volter and shot him through the
head at their home. lie died three
hours later. Mrs. Riley surrendered
herself to the police.
"Riloy murdered my mother bj
poisoning her and he was going to
murder me," Mrs. Riley Is credited
with saying in a statement made at
police headquarters. "He told me
he would. We were quarreling all
the time because I reprimanded him
for associating with other women.
"I knelt down beside his bed. He
was asleep, facing the other way. I
prayed. I did not want to shoot htm.
Everything became blank. I lifted
the revolver and a shot rang out. I
placed the revolver fcack in the
Irawer and walked across the street
OCTOBER 10, 191 Y.
and gave myself up to the police.
That is all I can tell now."
Five Girls Farming ,
, at Penna. State College
State College, Pa., Oct. 19.—Five
girls with back-to-the-land hanker
ings, are studying scientific farming
In the two-year agricultural' course
at the Pennsylvania State College.
The war situation has nothing to do
whatever in their choice of a pro
fession. They simply wanted to learn
how to feed chickens, hoe beans,
milk cows and plow. Later they
expect to use their knowledge in
managing their own farms. The
new farmerettes at State College are:
Miss Maude Jensen, of Warren, Pa.:
Mrs. Martha Jones, of Philadelphia:
Miss Agnes Newman, of Waynes
