AUTOMOBILE MAKER URGES ADOPTION OF GOOD ROADS LOAN Nothing stronger in the way of ap peal for the proposed loan has been Issued than this letter from R. E. Chamberlain, manager of the op erations division of the war vehicles department of the Packard Motor Oar Company: "When the railroads failed to per form their function last year, it al most occasioned a national cala mity, yet It served admirably to em phasize that we cannot have too many arteries of commerce. Lead ing government officials, realizing this, have recommended the con- : struction of permanent highways j l'rom coast to coast. "Ton see with good roads, the. scope of your commercial activity is immeasurably widened. They hi®®; 0 | so much to you, your state, and tne j nation as a whole.

So far this week there have beens calls for squads of Scouts of from three to thirtv boys, and no appeal has been left unanswered. The Red cross headquarters, the linen shower headquarters .the t United war Work headquarters, have all called upon Scouts to assist them in their work. Tuesdav of this week the bo.vs re moved all the Fourth Liberty Loan posters In the entire city, and on Thursday, under the direction ot Mr. Mercer Tate, they distributed the posters for the coming United War Work campaign. Besides the above, a great many Scouts have been working collecting fruit pits and nut shells to be made into carbon. The Scouts are so eager for service that Scout head quarters is sometimes puzzled where to find work for them to do. Troop 13 Will Take a Test Hike on Saturday If the weather man permits, the Scouts of Troop 13 are ordered to come prepared to follow out the fol lowing outdoor tests: Fire building, cooking, tracking, and scout pace. The troop will leave the Boyd Me morial building at 11 o'clock and will return abriut 4.15. All Scouts are expected to take this trip so that they .may Improve their scout ing. A new feature will be added to the scout meeting this week. The Scouts are asked to come direct to the scout room instead of stopping upstairs and spend the time until .7.30 practicing their first aid, sls •*na!ing and all other Indoor scout ing. The meeting will start at 7.30 as usual and the Scouts that arrive early will have a fine chance to [ brush up their scout knowledge. Scout Black, a former member of Troop fi and now a member of the Pennsylvania Reservo Militia, will act as drillmaster for Troop 13 this season and the next time tt parities It Is going to show some real form in marching. The troop takes pleasure In an. nounclng that starting with the last Friday In November, they expect to Invite the various troops of the city to join in a union meeting and con test in scouting by patrols, latst winter the troop had the pleasure of entertaining various troops ln athletic contests, hut this year tney expect to make scouting the real issue with other sports fitting In the right place. This last week has been a very busy one for the members of the troop, as the "flu" gave them a vacation from school, hut it also gave them a good opportunity to answer the various calls made by the Red Cross, the Liberty Iah headquarters and the United Wan Work campaign The troop has en deavored in all its public good turns to remember that a mistake by a Scout in public does not only ( injure himself, his troop, but also, scouting at targe.—WM.

"An amendment providing for a fifty million dollar bond issue is up for ballot November 5, although legislative action will not be taken until after the war. In voting for this issue, you increase land values, create civic pride, provide industry, and advance the welfare of Pennsyl vania, for ultimately all states must build permanent highways. "Here then is a movement that spells progressiveness. Is it not worth the effort of bringing your friends and associates to realize the full importance of this measure and the necessity of getting every vote possible in its favor? Will you see! that they grasp the opportunity that i is theirs election day? "Y'ou recall the oid saying—op- i portunity comes but once.

He is standing between I you and your home against the [shameless Hun, who for four years has been destroying homes in Eu rope The boy from your town is brave and strong. He can whip the Hun in a man-to-man light. He is the kind that doesn't retreat. He goes forward, and the Hun knows it. But there is one thing that the boy from .your town can't do. He can't fight and brenthe poison gas at the same time. The Hun knows this, and has invented the most shameless kind of warfare —poison gas. A good gas mask requires a high grade of carbon, and carbon is scarce both in England and in America. The best grade of it is made from fruit pits and nut shells. The Government doesn't have these things, and you do. The Govern ment wants you to give these ma terials to it to save that boy in France. What had you better do about it? Here is the answer: SAVE —Peach pits, apricot pits, plum pits, cherry pits, prune pits, olive pits, date seeds, Brazil nut shells, hickory nut shells, walnut shells, butternut shells. Next: Dry these nuts in ovens or in the sun. Bring them to the near est Red Cross collecting station or deposit them at the corner grocery store. Remember, as long as you have pure air to breathe don't stop till he has. for there is a hoy in France front your town. Mr. Virgin, the scout executive, has been made director of the col lection of gas mask material for the adjacent twelve counties. Come on, Scouts, don't let a pit or shell go to waste. Take bags along on your next hike an.l bring home all you can carry of shells. The woods are full of them, but don't forget to se cure permission first. Seventy-three Lads Enjoy Hike Into the Country Seventy-three Scouts, under the leadership of Scout Executive Vir gin, last Friday hiked to Rockvillc. and thence to Fishing Creek Valley and over the Blue Mountains. Scout masters Manser, of Troop 11, and Piper, of Troop 22, and Assistant Scoutmasters Wright, of Troop 21; Weaver, of Troop 20, and Kohler, of Troop 8, were also members of the party. Most of the party left Front and Market streets at 10 o'clock. At that time the sky looked fair, but by the time the Scouts had gone up Second street, clouds gath ered, and It' had begun to drizzle when the boys arrived at Rockville. As tjhere were signs .of, clearing, and the Scouts voted unanimously to proceed with the hike, the party did not turn back. Dinner was cooked on the road side, arid many of the new and tender Scouts had their first ex periences in building a fire and pre paring thel rown meals. More largo hikes are scheduled for later ln the season, as the last one was voted an entire success. JIARRISBURG TELEGRAPE The Neglected Graveyard Well, Scouts, here I am' again! [ It has been so long since I talked to a Scout that I feel like a rank (outsider. I am anxious to get back under the tent-fly and toast my shins at the back-log lire, so if you will move over a bit and .make a little room, 1 shall crowd in and tell you a story. To some of you I need no intro duction. More than a year ago, when a good many of you were not yet Scouts, I tried in a series of articles to tell you of the wonderful and worth-while places that were within hiking distance of Harris burg. Several months ago I tried to interest you in Wildwood and help you to see Wildwood as I do, and now I am here again witj* something new. This time it's a graveyard. Don't shiver, fellows. I have seen a good many graveyards with their tombstones gleaming in the moonlight at the uncanny hour of midnight. I have walked between rows of gravestones in all the wee, early hours of the morning and never yet have I been lucky (?) j enough to meet a white-robed i spook. Being a Scout, it may be | that X don't drink the right kind of stuff to see them. The graveyard of which I want to tell you is less than two miles from Harrisburg and every one of you has passed it again and again hut very few of you have seen it. The graveyard is in the midst of a patch | of woodland and the woodland itself : stands alone in the center of a large ! farm. There is not even a road that i will lead you to the old burying- J I ground. This patch of woodland. | according to tradition, belongs to: the Church of England. The story j I goes like this: When John Harris j ! was granted a tract of land upon I which to found his trading post, he [ was given also a tract of land upon l which to build a church. Harris | built his home and established the | I trading post on n different site and 1 | when his son laid nut the first plot; of the City of Harrisburg it was j ! several miles away from the plot! upon which the church was to be l i built. Regardless of this fact, the ! j plot was used as a burying ground I I and as such it stands to-day. During the summer months every I tombstone is hidden by a tangle of; I blackberry bushes, poison Ivy and | j Virginia creeper, and unless you j | waded through this growth you would never find the old time-worn land weather-beaten markers. Many ;of them have fallen over; some of lihem have sunk in the ground until ; more than half their surface is htd- I den beneath the moist earth; and; some are hidden under the lenves that year after year have fallen | on them and rested there undis turhed. The storms of the years I have obliterated the legends on l manv of the poorer stones and their story Is lost. The loving hands that I many years ago set up the stones j in memory have long since gone to rest. Dying there under a tangle of blackberry bushes Is a tiny wooden slab that once marked the grave of n.v RED C'LOl'D an infant. The sorrowing parents have probably been dead .many years: the rain long ago washed off the painted figures from the rude i s'ab and in the onward sweep of I time the child's memory has been forgotten. ' Herp under a blanket of moist | leaves is a rough slab of brownstone I with a name and date carved in rough, uneven characters. The poor I settler who could not ufl'ord a tomb ! stone probably knelt there in the | dirt and with his own hands lovingly | placed the rude marker "while a tear rolled over his brown cheek. Here stands the part of what was | once a hedge surrounding a lot. I Over there among the bushes and I weeds stands a row of nfat, wcll i placed stones telling of the entire j family laid to rest. The patch of woodland is .not , lat;gp. Any Scout could throw a , stone from one side to the other. 1 There are not many stones but what a story to tell! Det us look at the dates on some of them and I notice how strangely they fit into American history: 177 4, the year of the first Continental Congress; .1783, when the American Colonies • were recognized by England as a nation; 1812, when the infant na tion proved to the world that she could hold her own among the na tions of the earth; 1850, when in the Senate the great Henry Clay forced through the Compromise of 1850 and staved off the Civil War for ten years: 1803, the high tide of the Civil War, when Dee's ragged troops swept into Pennsylvania only jto meet defeat on the slopes of can be no beautiful.

I always insist thst my pstients take organic iron— Nuxated Iron—(not metallic iron which often corrodes the stomach and does more harm than good). Nuxated Iron is easily assimi lated, does not blacken nor in jure the teeth nor upset the stomach. It will increase the strength and endurance of weak, nervous, irritable, careworn, haggard women in two weeks' time in many cases.

What a picture that neglected graveyard presents to-night. The weeds and bushes are dead; the leaves are gone from the trees and their bare limbs are darkly sil houetted against a moonlit sky. A flood of autumn moonlight pours down over the brown fields und woodland. The tall trees moan and the dry leaves rustle gently as a breeze sweeps over the fields. These cold stones, sinking, falling, for gotten—glistening in the moon light, are all that is left to tell of the Joys and sorrows, the hopes and fears, in the lives of those who lie here in death. Their little acts of Jealousy, their good deeds or their unkind words; eveh their names and their memory is lost -in the lAfHH flight of time and in the IMI march of the centuries. gj BKRGNBK 111 11.1)1 XG IKASEHafI The Bergner Building.
