Fed-! eral officials all over the country will conduct an enormous distribu,-! tlon of medals to those who won' them in the last campaign. The medal is the Treasury Depart-1 ment's War Service Emblem, award ed to Boy Scouts of America who; developed Investors In ten or more homes. It has been won by 23,42? j scouts, while 11.SOS who are wear-' ing medals won in the preceding campaigns will receive bronze bars! —35.233 awards in all. , Value of Organized Boyhood This establishes what is believed j to be a world record of awards of' any character for individual achieve- j ment of a like nature. This is an inspiring fact and a striking teeti-1 monial of the appreciation by thej United States Government of the| value of organized boyhood as pro- ! moted by the Boy Scouts of Amer-j ica. It is the hope of the officers of the! National Council that this recogni-; Hon by our Government of their achievement will stimulate them as scouts to greater service to the Gov ernment and to others. In the first Liberty Loan there? were 8.439 medals, in the second! 22.408 medals and 3,678 bronze 1 bars (to winners in the first cam-! paigni. With the winners of the; medals and bars In the third cam-; paign this makes 69,818 scouts who! have sold bonds in ten or more! homes. Treasury Counts on the Scouts L. B. Franklin. Director of the War Loan Organization of the Treas-| ury Department. In a letter trans-1 ! milting to scout officials the medals i and bars won by the scouts, says: ] "As in the First and Second Lib- ] i erty Loan compaigns. the Treasury j Department is glad again to have ■ the opportunity to award War Serv-, i ice medals or bars to those members' of the Boy Scouts of America who! ; complied with the requirement of i securing ten or more independent subscriptions to the Third Liberty j Loan. Presentation by Federal Officials i "The medals or bars accompany ! ing this letter, as specified in the S list and letter from the chief scout i executive, also enclosed, betoken the appreciation of the Treasury De partment and the Nation for the ( . services of the Boy Scouts of Amer ! ica and will, it is hoped, inspire ; sueh enthusiasm on their part as: ! will result in greater service by them ; I than ever before in the Fourth Lib-| i erty Loan. "Toward this end it is suggested! that the officials of the Boy Scouts) ! of America arrange for the presenta ; tion of these awards by representa | tives of the Federal Government with suitable public ceremony." i Medal Conditions This Time • The scouts will be glad to learn ! that in the Fourth Liberty Loan I drive they are to receive War Serv-| I ice emblems similar to those award-; ! ed in other campaigns. • The number of subscriptions they, : will have to secure in order to get ' their emblems, which are issued by j the United States Treasury Depart-, ment. will depend upon whether or' > not It will be decided by the local i Liberty Loan committees if the I scouts' are to canvass during the entire three weeks or only In the | last week. j If thev work through the three weeks, they must secure twenty-five I subscriptions. but if acting asi i "gleaners after the reapers in the ; last week, they will get an emblem i for ten bond sales.

Not a new experi ment, like the first oeie in June last year, but an established system, tried and proven good for all con cerned. Boys are always ready to rush for the door of the fire enginehouse at the first stroke of the big brass gong. The fourth alarm is ringing now for the greatest conflagration in his tory. The fire appears to be under control at last, but the Hun will react to the least slackening of pressure instantly like the fire. The "fire fighters" must be given guns, ammunition, apparatus, supplies in unstinted shiploads, with which to smother the blaze,' by selling bonds of the Fourth Liberty Loan. Saw Three Campaigns The Boy Scouts of America will do their share as befoge, beginning this time with the opening day on September 28tli, and hustling until the lights are out on October 19th. It is expected that they will again act in taking subscriptions as "glean ers after the reapers." Mobilization plans have been practiced until they move like clock work. Every Scout knows his place and his work. The veteran cam-' paigner has instructed the tender foot. The Boy Scouts of America have notably succeeded In three Liberty Loan campaigns. They have secured one of every twenty-three Liberty Bond subscrip tions received by our government. They have operated under a na tional plan. The secretary of the Treasury and the scout officials have formulated the arrangements and assumed the responsibility for their operation. Scouts Pledge Service In the fourth campaign the scouts Will be under the direct supervision of the local Liberty Loan Commit tees. Secretary MeAdoo has recom mended it in letters to the chairmen of the present local Liberty Loan Committee. President Livingstone of the Boy Scouts of America has pledged the organization of 100 per cent, un qualified and energetic support of the Government. The President of the United States of America says: "The active serv i ice of every scout and scout official enrolled as a member of the Boy Scouts of America is depended upon Ito help make the Fourth Liberty Loan a success." To Aid Local Committees In view of the great work done ; by the Boy Scouts of Amerlba In i previous loan, campaigns the Unlt4 States Treasury Department, through L. B. Franklin, of the National Lib erty Loan Committee, has outlined a I more comprehensive plan than any iof the previous ones which the j I Treasury Department wishes tire j | great army of Boy Scouts of Amer lica to follow. After consultation with James E. j West, Chief Scout Executive, and j i following a conference in New York ; iat the Boy Scouts' National Head- ! quarters, 200 Fifth Avenue, it was ' j decided to make it optional with the j dicerent local councils of the Boy j I Scouts of America, with the ap i proval of local Liberty Loan Com- j 1 mittees, whether or not the scouts in ] a locality shall work as canvassers : | throughout the entire three weeks of the Liberty Loan campaign or shall confine tlieir work to the last week only, as "gleaners after the reapers." Government Plans Manuals The Government has printed 600.- 000 copies of a sales manual for the scouts. It says in part: "You are the messenger of the United States Government. -Yes, you are more, i you are a member of Uncle Sam's i team of trusted selling agents. Look , the part. You are the President's ! messenger. Act the part. A pleas ant good morning may help to sell , j a Liberty Bond. If you fail at the ! first interview, a . pleasant good-by ; i may help you get another chance. ! Never urge anyone to give you an I application for a Liberty Bond merely because it will help your rec ord: always for the country's sake and as a good business investment Don't forget you are working tor ; the government. Live up to your ! Scout reputation for cheerful and i co-operative service." j _ Many Ways to Help Among the other services to boost . the Liberty Loan that scouts rae | asked to perform are the following: Distribute,literature, posters, stick ; ers. Take part in Liberty Loan 1 parades with scout bands and floats. • Serve as messengers, ushers as pub j lie patriotic lheetings. Make Lib erty Loan speeches at theaters, in I schools and other public places j Give scout demonstrations, play : bugles, etc., at Liberty Loan booths to attract attention. Make house i to-house canvass with Liberty Loan I pledge cards. Help banks as mes -1 sengers or clerks in connection* with loan. Spread Liberty Loan propa- I ganda. Invent and circulate Liberty i Loan slogans. Have Liberty Loan i booths or tents in prominent places. | Scour rural districts for possible | bond buyers. Serve in any capacity iin which the scout uniform and 1 what it stands for will give prestige j to the occasion or help sell bonds. Make themselves generally useful. Scouts Go to Spooky Hollow For Revelry '-'his "Spooky Hollow" is some place for a hike. About sixteen scouts of Troop 26, accompanied by- Scoutmaster L. E. Vanaman, held a "doggie" roast there Tuesday even i ing. Scout Collicott, with a few witty suggestions from other members of the troop, built a largfc fire, and the boys sat around it Indian fashion, toasting the juicj- "doggies" and having a general good time, to the accompaniment of Scout Wilder's "uke." Just when the fun was at its height, the rain descended and put put the fire, but did not succeed in dampening the boys' spirits, and all the "doggies" and other eats were consumed in short order. The boys then beat a hasty retreat for home, stopping at a store along the way to refresh themselves with •'soda pop." Afer they had bought out the store, the rain stopped, the stars came out again and the scouts came home in true scout fashion, singing lustily. , Another hike is in store for the boys in the near future—and this isl to be an over-night affair. TROOP THIRTEEN TAKES BIG HIKE Happy Scouts Take Long En- j durance Walk; Effect Or ganization of Troop Starting fiom Boyd Memorial at J nine o'clock six Scouts with thej scoutmasters started at a lively gait j over the Capitol Hill out State street . until they hit the Jonestown road, i The hiking was One until we hit! Penbrook and OH! MY! the MUD. I Between juking autos and mud-! | puddles the Scouts got a bad im-j presslon of that noted borough. | | After leaving Progress they again hit 1 Lingiestown. A\ r hile resting on a I hotel step and removing the stones j front their shoes, they were startled by hearing a hairy-faced gentleman! cry out—"as Ist das?" Such a| German expression seemed like trea-1 | son to our troop and one of us asked j hint what he thought of the Kgiser. i Much to our surprise he opened hisj coat and showed a Liberty Lo3n | button and said "The dickens (what ! he really said was more forceful but 1 in the same direction) with the Kai- \ ser; I'm all for President Wilson", j I This inspiring speech and cheers for I our country given by the Scouts put I more pep into the hikers and v\ei ! started for Manada Gap. | • After going two miles an observ-! i ing Scout located a horse-shoe which j was properly consecrated and which I is now hanging in the Scout room as I j a trophy of the hike. Now here we of Troop 13 wish to give a piece of , advice. If you find a horse shoe on a hike, take it along for five min utes. After we found the shoe a farmer going our Way in a Ford con taining his wife and 400 pounds ofj feed, picked the seven of us up on t j the running board and carried us j three miles. Say fellows, we never I i had luck like this before and if hat! farmer ever needs help, a word to j Thirteen will bring the whole troop j jto his assistance. About one-thirty: we reached Manada Gap and after! eating our dinner which was com posed of scrambled eggs and fried spuds we started back byway of Fishing Creek A'alley. After walk ing three miles, we discovered we were going along the side of a moun tain and so we headed back for Lingiestown. As the road was good, : and the apple trees hung over the' J road, and the farmers didn't seem ! j to Want the apples, we decided to change our plans and end our hike : at Lingiestown. j Relieve in Signs !

Many American editors are impressed with the significance of the statement of Marshal Foch . in a cabled message to the Knights of Columbus: "It was from Metz that Lafayette went to help your ancestors, and we shall one day see your victorious banner floating in Metz." The Richmond Journal is convinced that before the present season for open warfare closes "the Stars and Stripes will float over the city of Metz," despite the fact that it is a "long, hard road" according to Colonel Azan, the distinguished French officer. \ In THE LITERARY DIGEST for this week, the leading article gives a glowing description of all the incidents relating to the first great American victory in Europe in which our army, with the gallant French, wiped out\the St. Mihiel salient in'twenty-seven hours and shows how this victory affects the future downfall of Metz.

Reorganization of Troop Troop Thirteen did some reorgan izing of their own for the best of the troop. Over half a dozen Scouts were suspended but since that time half of the number have paid their fines and have entered their he spective patrols again. Since the last month, the Troop has gotten rid of all "dead wood" and the organization feels strong because the Troop is a hundred per cent, in Scout activities. We are trying to reach a goal of $5,000 by selling bonds to that amount in the Fourth Liberty Loan Drive.

It makes an interesting and lively game for scouts. The boys sit down In a large cir cle. Two of them, blindfolded, are placed on opposite sides of the cir cle. Put one of the boys on his knees and give the other one a tin can and a stick. The latter hits the tin can with the stick every thirty seconds and then moves away. The boy on his knees represents a scout at night, and tries to catch the boy with the can, relying on his ears to tell him where the other fellow is. This was sent in by a former scout, now in France, who fuaran tees it to be great sport Use McNeil's Cold Tablets.
