The Hun is vanquished and peace is restored. But much suffer ing has been endured for the final results which this conflict has brought to us. Do you think that the brave ones who fought for us enjoyed the mud, rain, lice, shells, dirt and danger which they had to conflict with in, in punishing .the Germans? All praise and gratitude is due to the men who have served over there in the noble cause of the Allies. Now, since the war has stopped, there is not a chance like that \ Making the Team V J Fellows, as I write this, I am thinking about two football teams: one representing a school in a small town and the other bearing the col ors of a large city high school. In the country school there were twen ty boys, five of whom could not be placed on the team under any cir cumstances. A team had to be chosen from the other fifteen. Two players on the eleven wero excep tionally good; alost phenomenal payers but their team never won a game. They were never heard of outside their own county. Why? Well you see there were only fif teen men, several of them poor ma terial. The left tackle position was weak; right guard was another vul nerable spot end the back-field was poorly balanced. Furthermore a player did not need to keep in con dition. He did not need to put his best effort into the game. There was no one to replace him so they j had to keep him on the team. Now in the city high school there were a hundred candidates for the squad. Day after day they raced up | and down the field, tackled the ■ dummy, caught punts, fell on the bail and lined up in scrimmage. Al ways there was the keen eye of the head coach to pick out a flaw. One by one the poorer candidates were dropped. Ong by one the varsity was picked. Then came the season! They charged down the fiehi under the kick-off like a troop of Napoleon's cavalry; to go against their line was like going against a stone wall; they tore through the opposing team like a knife through paper. The game was against time rather than against the other team, for the only question was how often they could cross the line in sixty minutes. Along about the third quarter the score-keeper ran out of figures with which to chalk up the score,. They won a wide reputation and were hailed as champions. What was the great difference be tween the two 'teams? Was it not largely due. in this case, to material from which to select a team? Sure ly. Now fellows, let us apply that same principle to the wigwam. There are more than nine hundred Scouts which was offered to a B6y Scout as when the nations were fighting, but wo must and we do enjoy the fact thatthe world conflict is over and e can settle down to time like that which we had before 1914. It is now 1919 and the field of Scouting is not as large as .in 1918 but ivo, the Boy Scouts of America, must qualify ourselves for the manhood to come and doing our good turn daily, wo mgst honor those who fought and won in spite of the great numbers, who have remained at home, facing no guns, braving no dangers and enduring no hardships. under the Local Council. Suppose every Scout would make one con tribution every month! More than two. hundred articles each week! Of course we could never use them all, but think how chesty the fellow would feel whoso article was pub lished. One out of two hundred! And wouldn't we have some real stuff? Why not apply the principlo to ,tho Scout Page. Thirty-five troops! Do they all contribute? Not on your life! Four or five troops keep this page in existence. Suppose thirty-five scribes each sent an ar ticle every week and just suppose that we pick out eight or nine of them to use. Those eight or nine would have to be good. They would make the team. They would have to be real, live stuff with a punch that thd general public would want to read. Somethng that they would look for each week. Then suppose your friends asked you why your troop did not get on the page more often. Wouldn't you Igo after your scribe. Now just sup pose your scribe said, "Well, you fellows do something worth whire putting in the news, and I'll get it over. Then it's up to you. Make your troop a live one. Don't always wait for the scoutmaster to suggest good turns, hikeg, patrol meetings, exhibits, demonstrations and cfmp fires—use the brains with which you were so graciously endowed and suggest something yourself. Yoyr scoutmaster is a busy man. lie lius a hundred things to think about every day of his life. Help hint out. If your troop is only half hearted and half asleep part of the fault Is yours. Do' things! Tell us what you have done. Don't worry about grammar or rhetoric, just give us real spirit. That's better than dry rhetoric and stiff compo sition. A snappy Scout page, coupled with the service you give to your community will put Scouting on the map in this city—not only with a capital "S," but with capitals all the way through and' a big exclamation point on the end!

BURCHFIELD NEW TEAM CAPTAIN Will Head Basketball Playes of Troop 8; Adopt New Constitution At our meeting last Monday even ing Scoutmaster Jenkins read the new constitution of the troop. It has many good points, and will be framed and hung in the Scout room. Earch part was read separately and voted upon—and the whole thing unanimously adopted. The only difficulty that we had occurred when Mr. Jenkins read that all Scouts of Troop 8 must take at least two tests per month. One Scout wanted to know If a Scout had to (pialify for two merit badges per month after he was a first class Scout. The Scoutmaster answered by saying that the first Scout of Troop 8 to qualify for a merit badge would get five dollars from him. This statement put us all on our toes, and every Scout In " - Urn. ilrwse "".j And Now For the Great Big Saturday Of Our January Sale After the heavy selling of the past three weeks — after the pecp'e of this community have had time to compare values : —and we certainly welcome comparison hostfc of customers tell us that quality for quality, style for style, assortment for assortment —Wm.
