All turned in at an early hour, but sleep was a stranger and about 2 o'clock an emergency call was given, utensils packed, tents struck, blankets rolled and slung across backs, fires put out and the troop started an early morning hike across dark roads anji fields. At 3 o'clock came a welcome rest. Fires were again lighted and before the first gray streak of dawn began to show in the east, breakfast was cooked and eaten with a relish. After breakfast some of the Scouts made themselves comfortable in a large barn and at last fell asleep. Every one was awake with the sunrise and after mooning wash the troop drew up for Inspection, setting-up exercise and semaphore drill. Still fighting for our old place as the unquestioned champions of the semaphore code. Monday night saw the troop on a hike and marshmallow toast with the Susquehannock Camp Fire Girls. A drenching rain soaked everyone to the- skin but a friendly barn and steaming coffee helped to warm the cold hikers. The only regret express ed on the trip was that the rain stopped too soon as many were un willing to leave the more than com fortable haymow. All the Scouta in the troop are re quested to collect .all the old news papers and magazines possible and bring them to the Scout room on Saturday, May 11. They will be sold immediately and the money turned into the troop treasury. The baseball team will meet the team of Troop 8 next week. Troop 8 looks forward to this game with confidence. Their coaoh, Scoutmaster Jenkins, Is an old-time baseball man and promises to have some stuff up his sleeve. Whether this can success fully buck the champion athletic troop of the city remains to be seen. On Saturday, May 18, the troop will hold its second annual inter patrol track meet when the Eagle and Silver Fox will meet the Wolf and Tiger and endeavor to get square for last year's defeat when the lat ter won by the score of 105 to 96. The troop will be divided into three classes: First class, Scouts weighing over 110 pounds; second class, Scouts between 85 and 110; third class, scouts under 85 pounds. All entries niusP be handed to Athletic Director Haehnlen or Scoutmaster Hunts berger, by May 15. ROY REEL, Scout Scribe. TROOP EIGHT HAS BUSY SCHEDULES "Watch Us Grow" Slogan; Being Lined Up With a Will The "spirits" are still working at Troop 8 and shoving us to the front Our motto is, "Watch Us Grow." We sure are going some. Seven new members were taken in on Monday evening and took the oath. Thirty five scouts were present at the meet ing on Monday. There was also one visitor. The chaplain of the troop is to be complimented for his fine work. In opening the meeting on Monday he read from the book of Ruth about the "Gleaners after the Reapers." Fellows don't forget that is what all scouts are at this time. Get to work! Sell bonds! Not only for personal honor but for Uncle Sam. A report was made at the meeting Monday as follows: Four scouts sold fourteen bonds at fifty dollars each, making a total of S7OO. Listen, fellows! We are just started. At the meeting on Monday even ing John Duncan was appointed temporary senior patrol leader. He was given this honor for the good work he did on Friday evening in conducting the members of the troop to the rally. Color bearers were also elected, namely: George Bowman and Rus sell Walters. A new secretary was also elected at the meeting to suc ceed Spotz. Spotz resigned on ac oount of the responsibility which is on his shoulders at the present time. Russell Winks is the new secretary. He won out of a field of four can didates. Five names were put up for base ball manager. McLinn and Winks were tied at twelve votes each. Mc- Linn, on account of being in the troop longest, was given the position conditionally. Winks will act as as sistant manager. The track squad was called for practice Thursday morning. The fellows of the troop have de cided to raise the dues to five cents per week instead of ten cents per month. A bicycle ride will be held this evening. A good time Is expected, so be there. The new patrol has been started and a, meeting was held this week to decide upon a name for the pa trol. This patrol promises to be one of the liveliest ones in the troop the way they have started to move. A call was made for candidates to serve at the Liberty Loan tent |n front of the post office. Although more volunteered only four were selected. They are Ralph Wallis, Kdgar Spotz, H. Buchfield and Rus sell Walters. Twenty-nine of the scouts attend ed the Christian Bndeavor meeting at the church on Sunday evening. The fellows were led to the meet ing by the "spirits" and are very proud of the turnout they had that evening. We met In our new meeting room for the first time on Monday even ing. This was the first time we had the use of a piano In our meetings and we opened the meeting with a song service. Harlan Kline was at the piano. The singing was led by Shader and was very good consid ering the first time we were to gether. On Tuesday evehlng the first of a series of lnterpatrol contests and get-together nights was held. The evening was opened by prayer by the chaplain, John Duncan. This was followed by a talk by Dr.Reisch, the pastor of the church. His talk was very interesting as well as en couraging. Tho next speaker was the new scout executh'e, J. Frederick Virgin. This troop has the honor of being the first of Harrisburg to have the pleasure of Mr. Virgin's presence at any meeting of the troop. We, the members of Troop 8, shall always remember his presence with us that evening. Mr. Virgin is just what he called himself, "a big brother scout." He talked of scouting in Harrisburg in the past and then looked into the tuture and made some predictions of scouting to come. Altogether his speech was fine and enjoyed by ev ery member present. We wish to thank Mr. Virgin for his attend ance at the meeting. After Mr. Virgin's speech our "mysterious spirits" began working and gave us a talk on "Troop 8 of the Past and Troop 8 of the Future." The talk was very interesting and to the point. R. FOSTER BHADER, Scout Scribe. Examinations Are Held in First Aid Work The regular weekly meeting of Troop 20 was held last Thursdav. Examinations were given in first aid and several other of the second class requirements. The following scouts were granted certificates last week: Raymond Balsbaugh, Charles Par sons, Edwin Wagner. On Friday evening the troop marched down to the Grace M. E. Church to attend the Liberty Loan rally. Members of the troop took part In the program, although no members received war medals, for the obvious reason that the troop did not take part in the campaigns preceding this one as we were not actually organized at the time. On Tuesday evening the troop paraded in the district assigned it, carrying many banners boosting the Third Liberty Loan and W. S. S. Several scouts made sales. Charles Parsons, the troop bugler, made his first public appearance and made an excellent showing. On Thursday evening the troop paraded to Second and Pine streets carrying the Liberty Loan banners, where they took part in a patriotlo service. This evening the regular monthly meeting will be held. The most im portant item on the program is the balloting for several candidates. Scouts are requested to bring the data regarding the number of houses and stores in their district. Patrol leaders' reports for April are due to night. Don't forget that this Is the last night for your 1 registration if you want your name sent In with the troop. The troop wishes to announce that it Is ready to give Its Tull co-opera tion to the scout executive, J. Fred erick Virgin, and pledges its support to the limit. Watch seouting grow In Harris burg!

Rheumatism means that the blood has become saturated with uric acid poison. It does not require medical advice to know that good health is abso lutely dependent upon pure blood. When the muscles and joints be come sore and drawn with rheu matism, it is not a wise thing to take a little salve and by rubbing it on the sore spot, expectkto get rid of your rheumatics.
