Scouts Are "After the Big Pirate" The "kids in khaki",, have, thug been able to help Uncle Bam in his call for this desperately needed ma terial by locating and reporting about 3,667 carloads. This will add thousands of gun stocks and air plane propellers to Uncle Barn's pur pose of "force td the utmost;" Their success in this campaign is another quick answer to Kaiser Bill's challenge; Every scout is working hard to "sink the Big Pi rate; as they call himi and if they can do it .by furnishing gun stocks and airplane propellers as well as by selling liberty bonds and war sav ing stamps and by raising war gar dens, they will cheerfully go forth to do It, To accomplish this task of mak ing's census of standing black wal nut timber would have cost the gov ernment millions of dollars, but the organized boyhood of the nation has gladly done It a's their service to aid in winning the war-.

Headquarters Troop Is Organized in Harrisburg Here is real news for the older scouts of the city, A new troop to be known as Headquarters Troop Is to be established In the very near future. Membership In the troop will be restricted to scouts at least 18 years of age, The scout must be of second-class rank or attain that rank within three months of becom ing a member, Membership will also \je open to boys who have been scoops In the past. A meeting will be held next week at headquarters to go into the subject, All scouts who are inter ested and who are eligible should send their names to the Scout Ex ecutive, who will act as scoutmaster. Only those scouts who want to progress rapidly in scoutcraft need apply, for the rules will be made very strict. No scout now regis tered in a troop will be asked to leave his old troop. # Membership will probably be limited to twenty four. SNEWS MV NOTES OF THE BOY SCOUTS $ Shells and Stones No#star shells, nor gas shells, but peach stones, olive Stones, walnut ! shells—ln fact, all kinds of fruit pits or nut shells. To keep the "boys In khaki' 1 supplied with gas masks, Uncle Sam must have tons of these things; What are they for? Well, scouts; I'll tell you to the best of my knowledge; The Huns make war with poison gas—it's all against the rules, but still they do It, and every soldier within miles of the trenches has to carry a gas mask, Charcoal enters into the structure of these masks and.the charcoal Is made from these fruit stones and nut shells, Will you ever throw away another peach stone or walnut shell when you know It can he used to beat the Hpn? I guess not-. No* scout-that knows will! Bo get busy; L,et every troop get a basket and collect these things that we didn't know were any .good before; Make It one of your dally good turns to gather In these precious things; ■Just think that perhaps the -good turn you do to-day will be the means of saving your big brother or friend In a chlorine or mustard gas attack; The Hun Is on the runi .help to make him go faster; Turn in the stones to the grocer In your section; He "wlll\know Very soon where they are to gO; The Office Bcout, Troop One Is to Hold Big Scout Rally Tonight A big rally will be. held at the headquarters of Troop 1, Reformed Salem Church, Third and Chestnut streets, to-night at 7.30, J, Fred erik Vlrgini the Scout Executive, will make an address. All scouts who are members are urged to come and bring their friends, Plans for the future will be discussed and tenderfodt and sec ond class examinations will be held.

HABIUSBURG TELEGRAPH ' Camouflaged Scouts Are you a camouflage scout? Are •you using the name of Boy Scout merely to give you a better stand ing In the world; when as a matter of fact .you don't deserve this name, or are you exerting your utmost in fluence to spread the real true prin ciples for which, if a real scout, you know your organisation stands? The Boy Bcouts of America is an honorable organization, and it has a right to demand and expect hoth lng but iOO per cent; loyalty from every member, "We do not heed to Set forth in these columns ft Set of rules ttnd regulations which you should carry out to keep you out of the camou flage class. Toil have them already, They are the Scout Oath and Laws! It Is hard sometimes to keep from using profane language, but think of that 11th law which you havo promised "on your honor" to obey. Ton have- only one honor in the world. When that Is sacrificed you havQ no means of getting a new one. Instead, the old one* must bo patch ed up, and repaired goods never last long! A scout Is clean!

Here a large Are was built, corn roasted and a great feed enjoyed. The monthly meeting of Troop 20 Was .held Tuesday evening. The winter program was discussed and several announcements of Impor tance were made. Scout Charlos Parsons was awarded the gold ef ficiency badge for attaining the high est percentage df efficiency for three successive months. Next Friday the Regular meeting of the troop will he held at 7.30. ■The chemical demonstration, ached* uled to be given on Tuesday even-, lng, was postponed until this meet ing. The assistant Bcoutmaster will show on the screen troop pictures taken in camp. Everybody come iind have a look at yourself. Henry A. Baer, Scribe. world expects a Boy Bcout to to In fluence younger boys that they, like the scouts, Should grow up to he the kind of men that the world is looking for, Our organization should be such that no parents should have to hesitate In entrust ing their boy to the care and com panionship of older scouts, knowing that he will receive the right kind of training, Once an adult hears a Boy Beout swear, or sees him lose his temper, or is seen cultivating poor -ha-blts, traveling with a crowd having a questionable reputation, a stain is cost upon an innocept or ganization by the boy. Never use language that you would not use In the presence of your own mother, then your conscience will not be dis torted, and you will grow up to be a man with good habits forming a strong backbone. It Is Just that type of man that has the right to demand the respect and admiration of the world, and they are the kind who succeed. Tou have only one life to live. Make the most of It, and live It right, using those scout laws as your creed. Don't camouflage yourself! TROOP SIX TO HOLD BIG MEET Annual Fall Field Day and Reunion to Be Held at Wildwood Friday, September 27th, has been named as the date for the second annual fall Held day and reunion of Troop 6. Wildwood Park will be the place: The committee In charge has arranged for a number of scout craft and athletic contests, a big feed, and a council Are-in the even ing. All old members of the troop are ■lnvited to be on hand for a good time. Since our reunion last September the troop has been called upon to furnish material not only for the United States service but for the scout movement. Two assistant scoutmasters, Demmlng and Arm strong, are representing tho Green and Gold somewhere in France, while "Lew" Selgel, the speedy end on last year's football team, Is In a training camp in / merica. Haehn len, Nye, Sparrow and Carson, who came into the troop as tenderfoot scouts, have graduated ~ into the as sistant scoutmaster class. Haehn len has done good work with Troop 12, Nye is proving valuable to.Troop 28, Sparrow is working with six, and Carson's name has been handed to local headquarters for disposi tion, Scoutmaster Huntsberger is serving with local headquarters as field executive, and C. Y. Stamm has been commissioned as his successor in Troop 6.

Roy Reel, Scribe. Scouts of Troop Eight Enjoy Corn at Dauphin A silvery moon on a perfect night, a husky bunch of scouts on a good road, a good feed at the end of the hike, and hearts free from care— that is the picture of Troop 8 last Friday when they hiked to Dauphin for a cornroast. The troop mobilized at the Square and the city was soon in the dis tance, thanks to the Rockville trol ley. Scoutmaster Jenkins was in charge and Assistant Scoutmaster Kohler was unanimously voted "cook." The road from Rockville to Dauphin was all too long, for ap petites grew keener every minute. But once on the camp ground a good fire was soon burning and the pot put on to boil. In went the corn for a short boiling to "make it ten der," so the cook said, and then, husks and all, it was buried in the hot embers. No verbal description can do Jus tice to the scene which followed in a few minutes. Mr. Wallis. the host of the evening, had provided "soda pop" and pretzels, and the feast was complete. Then came a little talk on scout ing and hike home. The entire ..troop is going on a hike to-morrow afternoon, and the meeting on next Monday night has a number of surprises in it. Orchestra of Troop 7 to Play at Dedication; With one exception, the scouts of Troop 7 are now busily engaged in their studies. The scoutmaster has put lots of emphasis on the valde of a good education and the effect of receiving the very best marks in school work. Real scouts will not be satisfied with just a passing mark of seventy per cent., but will strive to secure honor marks of above ninety per cent. The troop boasts some of these good-mark scouts, too. With the necessary •pep" it takes to secure the best marks possible and the. best educa tion, together with living up to the scout oath, our boys will become men that this great country always; needs. • * Plans are now being prepared for some real active scout, work this fall, consisting of hiking and work for Uncle Sam. The orchestra of the troop, un der the leadership of Assistant Scoutmaster W. L. Bailey, will meet this evening to resume its weekly practice, and will appear, on the program at the dedication of the Evangelical publishing house on Oc tober 1 and 2. / George Reinoehl, Scribe. PRESTDENT'JS MESSENGERS The distribution of public docu ments made by the Boy Scouts of America, acting as "dispatch bear ers of the Government" for the Com mittee on Public Information, is be lieved to be the largest distribution of printed matter the world has ever seen. The scouts put out fifteen million pamphlets, and the records up to August, 1918," show that two mil lion requests for additional litera ture had been received by the Com mittee on Public Information- as a result of the the scouts did and that requests were still being re ceived at the rate of more than one thousand a day. IT'S YOU If you want to be in the kind of a troop Uke the kind of a troop you like, You needn't your suit in a grip And start on a long:, long hike; You'll only find what you left be hind, For there's nothing that's real ly nowi It's a knock at yourself when you knock at your troop- It isn't your troop, it's you. Real troops are not made by boys afraid Lest somebody else gets ahoad. When everybody works and no body shirks You can raise a troop from the dead. And if, while you make your personat stake, Your nelgrhbors can make one too. Your troop will be what you want to see— It Isn't the troop, it's youl —Buffalo Scout Trail.

On Saturday, if the weather is Start the Furnace Later and Put it Out Earlier When chilly evenings come you're likely to say "Guess we'll have to start the furnace." Don't! You will be glad for the coal later on. Every shovelful counts these days and the best way to save it is to use a Perfection Oil Heater during late autumn and early spring. In* fact, once you own a Perfection, you'll find good use for it all winter long. PERFECTION oiljmeaXEßS mean additional heat and movable heat. You can pick up your Perfection (it isn't heavy) and carry it to any room in the house. Then you have this additional heat exactly where you need and want it. A Perfection will come in mighty handy on many cold days, chilly mornings and stormy evenings. You'll like its cheerful glow and radiating, instantaneous warmth, and you have the assurance that it is safe. But when you do get your Perfection be sure to use the right kind of kerosene. Use Atlantic Rayolight Oil and then you'll be sure to get satisfactory heat. Ask for it by name. Insist on it. It is so highly refined and perfectly purified that it burns without a trace of smoke, smell or sputter. Go to your dealer now and see his line of Perfection Oil Heaters. He has them now.
