t NEWS RHP NOTES OF THEiBOY SCOUTS^ DR. ZIMMERMAN WRITES SCOUTS Scout Menlzer First in Troop Twelve to Win Ace Medal Scout Menlzer was the first Scout of Troop 12 to win an Ace Medal for selling W. S. S. Many Scouts tried hard to win one of the coveted medals but Menlzer got ahead of them all. Smith and Swanson have received Liberty Loan Medals, the latter also receiving a bar. Three more medals will be awarded to Runkle, Hawthorne and Medath in the next campaign. When Lieut. Dr. G. A. Zimmerman, our former Scoutmaster, was in camp down south he kept in close com-; inunication .with the troop, closer than even the Troop had anticipated, and when the armistice was signed j and his duties somewhat lightened, I he took time to write to the Troop frt>m France as follows: I "Dear Boys:—I guess you think! I have entirely forgotten you, and vou might have good reasons for | thinking so judging from your end of the line, but I assure you that is not the case, for of all things X left be hind, unless it was Mri. Zimmerman, 1 have thought of you boys the most. I had good reasons for thinking of you if for no other reason than the present you got me before I left. That little watch has been my faithful companion and it is ticking it oft like a good fellow with all the hard knocks it has received in the army. I want to again at this late dgte express my appreciation and my thanks to you good boys of Troop 12. It make me smile even to-day to think how you chaps surprised me. I had figured I was wise to about everything that went on in Troop 12, and as I found out later, what made it exciting was the fact that 1 talked ] and acted as though I had known, but I had not the slightest idea what was going on, even when your presi dent was making his speech. But it is a good one and 1 appreciate it even to this day, and incidentally, I will entertain the whole bunch of you at j my house after I get back for that GIRLS!

JANUARY 3. 1919. The Wigwam Robert Hamilton and I were walk ing down Fourteenth street near Vernon when we saw a man fall in the middle of the street. A dog near him Just escaped being sat on and ran yelping into a nearby alley. The man picked himself up and started on his way. We asked hint if he was hurt and he said that he wab not, but he informed us that/he was "all cut up." (Also intoxicated.) He was a medium sized man of about fifty years of age. He cer tainly looked all cut up. There was blood on his collar, his face and his hands. On the right cheek just be low the eye was an ugly cut and bruise which looked as though it I had been done about twenty-four ' hours before. He will no doubt carry j the scar for life. He asked us where he was and Bob 1 told him that he was on Fourteenth ; street. "Fourteenth street thass all I right," he said, "but what city?" I told him Harrlsburg and he told I us the name of his home town, which is about forty miles from this city. I He said he would give two dollars to ; any one who would take him home. He reached for his pocket-book and gave an exclamation of surprise when ho found that it was gone. He remembered that some fellow had taken him out and he guessed that the same fellow had relieved him of his pocket-book. We told him that we were Scouts and did not want any money. We asked him if he knew any person in Harrisburg. He said he did but he did not want them to see him In his condition. He : named a hotel where he was known, j We told him that he could not get 1 home that night but that we. would ] take h!m to the hotel where he could 1 and we'll have a good laugh on me. WeU, to change the subject, I have been keeping track of you until I came to France, but, I often think of you. Your camping trip was a grand success for the first one. I am also going to tell you that I do not believe a lot of you are working hard enough. If you had to get up at 5.30 A. M. and go to bed at 9.30 P. M., working hard all day, as I have since I left you until October, you would realize what an easy time you have. They do not have electricity in France as in America. I suppose now they have electricity in Paris since the armistice. The boys work as soon as they are ten or twelve years old. They do not read like Americans, and only a few people get papers which are only two and four pages. The boys do not run and play nor even swim as American boys do. They walk around like old men in their big, clumsy wooden shoes. They know nothing of the Boy Scouts in this part of B'rance, but it would be a great place for Scouts. The country is very hilly, with high hills not very far apart. I am at present at Joinville on the Marne. Bombs have torn holes in the ground five or six feet deep. My job is to locate pieces of shells or bullets with the X-ray. Scouts, above all, don't neglect your Scout meetings. Set aside that one evening for Scout work and get interested. Get after the boys who do not attend and persuade them to come. The Scout movement is one great movement that is all your own and it is a great thing. Straighten yo ( urselves up, especially when in uniform, and show the Boldiers when they come that they haven't much on the Boy Scouts of America, Sincerely, LIEUT. ZIMMERMAN. Evacuation Hospital, No. 49, A. E. F. This is part of a letter from Dr. Zimmerman which would interest other Scouts. Just before Dr. Zim merman left, the boys of the Troop presented him with a wrist watch. WM. HAWTHORNE, Scribe. Troop 13 Ready to Play Basketball Now After the big supper on last Friday evening, the candidates for the Troop's basketball team met and the rules made plain to those qualifying for the first and also for the second teams. On the night before Christ mas, a manager for the Troop's team was chosen and Scout Fenstermacher will hold the office for the coming year. Manager Fenstermacher has already arranged for games and the schedule is still open for more games. It is hoped that Thirteen can play at least one to two games with every Troop in the city, one of which will be played on our floor and the Other arranged for some place else. Charles Carl, Russel Huber, "Wm. Maglauchlin, Joe Hag&r, Jason Sny der and Bill Fenstermacher will start with the first team qnd if any Scouts on the second team show up fine they will take the position of someone on the first team. Games with the Troop's second team can be arranged for through ttye manager and both teams are out for glory and If you are ambttioua, crave suc cess in life, want to have a healthy, vigorous body, clear skin and eyes that show no dullness, make up your mind to get a package of Bio feren right away. It costs but little end you can get an original package at any druggist anywhere. Take two tablets alter each meal and one at bedtime—seven a day for seven days then one after meals till all are gone. Then It you don't feel twice as good, look twice as attractive and feel twice as strong as before you started your money is watting for you. It belongs to you, for the discoverer of Bio-feren doesn't want one penny of it unless it fulfills all claims. Note to Physicians: There is no secret about the formula of 810-feren. it is printed on every package. Here it is: Lecithin; Calcium oiycero phosphate; Iron Peptonate: Mang anese Peptonate; Eat. Nux Vomica; Powd. Benttan; Phenolohthulein; Olearesin Capsicum; Kola. | rest and have his injuries dressed. | With Bob on one of him and I | on the other we started on our way. I At the first street we came to he I fell over the curb stone and nTeas- I ured his full length on the ground. | He solemnly muttered "I'm dead!, I'm dead!" We said, "Not quite,"' ; and we picked him up again and I started once more. In the Market ! street subway he backed up against the .wall and looked at us for quite a while. He said that he wanted to get a good look so that he would know us when we met again. He told us to write our names and the number of our Troop on a piece of paper. .He declared that Troop 8 would get one hundred dollars on the first of January and that we would each get fifty dollars before we were thirty-six hours 'older. We are a good many times thirty six hours older, but we have not seen the fifty. We do not expect Troop 8 to see anything of the promised "hundred," but that makes no diffeifi ence. It was not for money that we did the act of service. After we left him at the hotel we laughed to our selves but we realized that there was a sad side to the affair and the laugh ter died. s j Occasionally we remind one an other of the good turn by solemnly saying, "I'm dead! I'm dead!" Come to the Wigwam again Scout Spotz! Whatever the nature of good turns, we are always glad to hear of theln. lam sure we have all en joyed your story. V RED CLOUD. P. S. Fellows, we have another straight-from-the-shoulder talk Fenstermacher but lack of space prevents using it this week. Look for it. It's called "Scouting." games are looked for from the vari ous troopß of the city who are now making arrangements for a troop team. Joseph Hagar was elected to lead the first team of the Troop and | much is expected of Hagar because of his team work. Jason Snyder, who has showed up fine, is expected to do wonders in winning laurels for the Troop. Jason Snyder first took up basket ball two years ago and the husky chap is looked upon for his fast work. Jason is a fat man and we hope no accidents will occur if a scrimmage results in a game and some unfortunate is fatally injured should "Fat" accidentally fall on some player. The only thing that I'roop Thirteen makes exception on basketball games is that all players must be enrolled in the Scouts for six months and must have that time; taken an interest in Scouting. Scouting Notes Greetings, fellow Scout?, and may the New Year be the best you have ever enjoyed. It will be the best if we all remember to "do a good turn daily." There is the secret of being happy—make others happy. Culti vate the smile that won't come off, and show the world of what stuff you are made. Did I hear someone ask, what are the chances for a good year? Well, I'll tell you, I don't believe so many chances to do big, good turns are going to come our way as last year, for the war is over. But I know this much, if we don't get asked to do things, we'll invite ourselves into every game that comes up. Scouts have to be busy—it's part of their nature, and we have shown in the past that we are not slackers. What About New Troops? The prospects are very fine. There are a number of churches that are preparing to organize troops, and now that the soldiers are coming back, we will not have so much trouble to find good scoutmasters. I was more than surprised and de lighted last week at the splendid gift of a knot-board from Troop 13. The board measures two by four feet and is a beauty. Come in and enjoy It with mef All the Scouts of the city deeply sympathize with Bcoutmaster Jerome R. Miller, of Troop 7, in the loss of his wife. Mrs. Miller came down with pneumonia and was ill but a short time. I Jt will be Monday or Tuesday next j before the final returns on the W. | S. S. campaign can be fully compiled. So keep cheerful and be patient. It Is not yet settled whether the Scouts will participate this year, but if we do, we will do it properly. I.ast year we made a poor start and a still finish. I told you last week about the coming anniversary week, beginning: February 8. Our plans are rapidly being completed. It will be a great week—particularly the father-son banquet February 10th at the new Penn-Harrls. State Winter Wheat Is Abnormally Ahead, Through Warm Weather Abnormal winter temperatures, continuing for more than three months, have boosted winter crops throughout thq state to a point where they are further advanced than in any corresponding season In years. Wheat fields yesterday were as green as suburban lawns after a sfifing shower. Through Lancaster county, the Cumberland Valley and the Perklomen valley, the fields re sembled May, instead of January. Temperatures from 10 to 30 de- above normal for the last week, In addition to the warm rain, have not only helped the winter crops; farmer believe they have pre pared the soil for bumper crops of all kinds next season, particularly as the hot and dry scaon last year caused a deficiency of moisture. Consistent temperatures bring .bumper winter wheat crops, the farmer- says. Variable temperatures with alternating frost and warmth, retard the crops. October, November and December were consistently warm. Therefore, the farmer's pros pects are exceedingly rosy. Besides, the acreage of winter wheat In Pennsylvania this year Is larger than ever before. Encour aged by war pi Ices and prompted by a patriotic desire to increase the na tion's food supply, Pennsylvania farmers sowed wheat in abundance. ttAJuusßtnao oWBW telegraph PACK TWO MEETS AGAIN TONIGHT Interesting Program Planned For Meeting of Live Scouts This Evening The holiday season is about over, j let's see If we can't have every fel | low at the meeting to-night.

Virgin For the first time since the Re-1 freshment Committee was organized j has it showed what it can do and,we, j the Scouts of Troop Thirteen, take j our hats off to the now famous I committee. How it happened I do I not know, but it came all at once I that it was a surprise and the chair- | man, who is Joseph Hagar, and his I crew who form that committee, sure- ] ly deserve credit for the line way In | , which the supper was pulled off.' You j want to know something about it; well it came off this way: At seven o%lock sharp on last Fri day evening, thirty Scouts with nine visitors gathered in the Scout room of -the Troop at the Boyd Memorial Building and there at 7.06 o'clock sat down to the second feast that Thirteen has ever had. Connected with the supper was the Troop's usual Scouting meeting and Robert; Keller, who was acting as chairman j that week, called for order and the j regular opening exercises were held. Many boys were called upon to give short talks and they all came off in fine order. The one which was the hardest pulled oft was that which was given by Scout Karl Moes lein. It seems that what he wished to pull oft about happened in 1918. Moesleln most have got stage fright! but the same story continued to hap-| pen In 1918 and when he finished it i was with the same results, "it hap pened in 1918." Joseph Hagar was I called upon to give a talk about loy- j alty and showed in what way Troop Thirteen was loyal to Scout head quarters. Now those who are known quite well 'at headquarters will re member that the office was shy av good, honest looking knot board. Therefore Scout Executive Virgin was presented with a knot board much better than that which is i owned by the Troop itself, and that! is saying not a little bit. Troop Thlr- J teen had owned the best knot board i in the city but now Scout Executive ' can claim the right of having the) best knot board, but it was the boys I of Troop Thirteen that made it and they were proud indeed when the | chief was presented with the board which has a history of lis own which I hope to And time to tell about later. Among the men present was the chairman of the Troop Committee, Rev. Dr. Lewis Mudge. Ha gave a splendid taik to the Troop, while Mr. Cox", of the Troop Committee, also gave a talk and called, upon Jason Snyder, who Is the Troop's prima donna, to give the Troop a song and Jason gave a song service which ended up with, "It's the same thing over again." The supper was a suc cess and the presentation of chief's Christinas gift was a fine sight and the history of It is that the board was taken from .a drafting table and many coats of steel color. It was taken to a painter's, where a title was painted on it and after this and much wiork on the part of the boys of the Troop the board was finished and the knots which decorate the board are as follows. Overhand, square, granny, figure eight, thief, bowline, halter, becket hitch, sheep shank, fisherman, hand cuff, two naif hitch, round turn and two halt' hitches, clove hitch, whipping an end, running bowline, sheet bend, cats paw, black wall hitch, single carrick, barrel hitch, telegraph hitch, bight, end, standing part and guard rope. SCOUT FENSTERMACHER. Patrols of Troop Eight Are Organized to Satisfaction The Scouts of Troop 8 have finally gotten patrols the way they want them, the Scoutmaster advised the leaders of the Lion and Eagle Pa trols. The new Lion Patrol is a combination of the Beavers and Lions. The Eagle is composed most ly of the old Eagles, nearly all of whom were charter members of the Troop and members Of the Eagle Patrol since the Troop was organ ized. Troop 8 is one of the troops who remembered the poor at Christmas. A basket of groceries was the gift to a needy family. At our last meeting before Christmas we all threw In and collected 83.00. We are proud of our Thrift Stamp card. Each week the Troop buys a Thrift Stamp. Dick Harr, who has sold |750 worth of Thrift Stamps, received four plans at the last meeting. • At our meeting next Mortday night each Scout present will demonstrate his ability to send a message, either by the Morse or by the Semaphore code. Last Tuesday evening the basket \ JANUARY 3, 1919. ball team went to the hall of Troop 21 but the team of that Troop did not show up. Assistant Scoutmas ter Wright cancelled the game but gave Troop 8 permission to use the floor for practice. Sides were chosen and a game was plttyed. of the Troop interested in basketball will meet to-night at the Shlmmel School Building. EDGAR A. SPOTZ, Scribe.

J; Those of us who are past middle age are prone to eat too much meat and in consequence deposit lime-salts In the arteries, veins and joints. We often suffer from twinges of rheu matism or lumbago, sometimes from gout, swollen hands or feet. There is no longer the slightest need of this, however, as the new prescrip tion, •'Anuric," is bound to give lm- ; mediate results as it Is many times more potent than llthla, in- ridding the impoverished blood of its poi sons byway of the kidneys.
