The scouts, although not passing resolutions, went on record as en dorsing the move, and at the sugges tion of their scoutmaster, the Rev. Kaymond Ketchledge. decided to set an example to boys in the town who are not scouts by observing the Hal loween season in this way. The Rev. Mr. Ketchledge spoke to the boys on the conservation of food and the way they could persuade boys to observe the Halloween time without throwing grain or destroy ing property. The scoutmaster brought out that corn meal at present is much higher than flour in price and that the little bit they would throw away may keep someone from starving. The scout master told the boys to keep the town orderly, not by force, which they are unable to do, but by setting an example to the boys of the town who are not scouts. A report was made by the scouts that *2,500 in Liberty bonds had been gold during the campaign. The cam paign, will be kept open until Friday night, when a report of the work will be made by Scoutmaster Ketchledge. After the business meeting Dr. H.
