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

FRIDAY EVENING. 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.

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

| 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.

TROOP 13 HOLDS
A-BIG JUBILEE
Scouts Present Clever Knot
Board to Scout Executive
J. F. 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.

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.

Rheumatism? 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. It can
he obtained at almost any drug store,
by simply asking for "Anuric" for
kidneys or backache. It will over
come such conditions as rhedmatlsm,
dropsical swellings, cold extremities,
scalding and burning urine and sleep
lessness due to constant arising from
bed at night.
Send to Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Ho
tel, Buffalo, N. Y., for a ten-cent
triat package.
CHESTER. PA.— "In March 11# I
was taken with rheumatism In my
right knee. I could not walk for ten
davs, and had to use a crutch and a
stick for more than two months.
After trying different remedies and
getting no relief I saw an advertise
ment of Anuric in the papers. (I
then lived at Snyder, Texas.) I sent
for a trial package as 1 could not get
Anuric ut the drug stores. Before I
had taken all of the trial package I
saw it was helping me. I then bought
two bottles of 'Anuric Tablets.' Be
fore I had taken half a bottle I could
walk without a stick. I continued to
take them until I had taken nearly
two bottles (dieting myself as direct
ed), and I was well my knee has given
me no more trouble since. I cannot
say too much for Anurlc."W. M. BELL,
