"SOME FLOOD" AT
BOY SCOUT CAMP
Save Most of Property; Tents
Are Covered With
Mud
As the boys put it "It was some
flood." It all began when the flood
gates at Laurel, seven miles above
the Scout camp at Mount Holly
Springs, gave way. This in turn
sent such' a flood of water down
against the upper Mount Holly dam
that about forty feet of the em
bankment near the railroad gave
way and proceeded to flood the
lower valley.
This is substantially Camp Direc
tor Rees' story of what happened.
They were all around the camp fire
early in the evening on Tuesday
when they noticed the water in
Mountain Run was rising rapidly.
"Prof." hurridly got the Scouts to
pact their belongings in suit cases
and put them on top of their cots to
prepare for emergency. Ten min
utes later the telephone rang, and
the Carlisle operator said that the
dam had burst at Laurel and that
it was wise to get to high ground.
Fifteen minutes later when every
thing had been removed to points
up on the hillside, the flood began
to arrive. Slowly but steadily it
increased in depth and velocity un
til about eloven o'clock there was
three feet of water rushing over the
camp site. Of course it didn't take
long to pull out tent stakes and for
tents to be torn from their moor
ings. By this time the Scouts were
comfortably settled in the mess hafl
and the cooks' tents for the night
Prof. Rees, Sparrow, and a neigh
bor who came to help spend the
night patrolling the flood area try
ing to save anything that might be
carried down stream.

FRIDAY EVENING,
i It was a sad sight when the Scout
Executive arrived in camp on Wed
nesday morning early. Not a tent
was standing, except the cooks'
tent which is on the hillside. Every
thing was covered with mud and
slime, and in a grand pile twisted
around trees. Only one tent was
found to be damaged, and that is
beyond repair. A number of cots
were torn but none were lost. So,
everything considered, we came out
of the flood very luckily.
Camp is all re-erected by this
time. The big dance-hall pavilion
has been restored to, and six tents
are erected on the north end of the
floor. The Headquarters tent has
been located between the mess hall
and the recreation hall. Ass't. Camp
Director Sparrow has established
his headquarters in the vicinity.
The Scouts who were there are
all pleased with the change for it
it not so far to the water supply nor
to the mess hall, and in case of bgd
weather they can get from their
tents to the big building in a few
seconds.
Everything is now in good shape,
and preparations are being made to
accommodate a large crowd of boys
due at camp in August. All Scouts
who wish to go during that month
are asked to notify headquarters
promptly, and ahead of time, in
order that arrangements may be
made for them.
TROOP 9 BUSY
The Scouts of Troop 9 are very
busy each week planning for dem
onstrations. We now hold a demon
stration meeting and a business
meeting each month.
The program for last week was an
explanation of the Scout oath by
Charles 3iiggs; constellations by
Ross Cooper: rules for first aid and
bandaging, Harry Cooper: the use
of the knife and hatchet, James
Armstrong.
We were all glad to welcome back
to our Troop Scout Kenneth Duf
fan. All the Scouts that expect to
go to camp please be at the meeting
Friday.
HARRT COOPER, Scribe.
THE WIGWAM
It was a hot afternoon in mid
summer. Four scouts, burdened with
camp duffle hiked slowly along the
long white road which reflecting the
glare of the sun, stretched away un
invitingly into the distance. Two of
the scouts, tired and perspiring, de
termined to sit down beside the road
and wait until a passing wagon or
automobile should pick them up.
One of the Scouts, Carvel Sparrow,
now an Assistant Scout Master in
Troop 26, sad the was willing to ac
cept a lift but would keep on walk
ing until the pick up or lift came
along. "And if no lift comes," he
said. "I'll be Just so much farther
on the way." As an afterthought ho
added, "Every time you hike it with
out a lift, you are in so much better
condition to meet the day when a
lift is impossible and you must go
it alone."
Do you know Scouts, I think Spar
row in those words stated one of the
biggest things in the Scout Move
ment? Be prepared.
A scout's motto is: Be prepared.
Prepared for what? • Prepared for
Life—physically, mentally and mor
ally. And being prepared for life
means work. It means study, sacri
fice and work. It means that our
hopes, ambitions, thoughts and even
our hours of recreation must be di
rected to that end.
The lives of the greatest men of
history are records of work, reverses
and disappointment. Abe Lincoln,
after his day's work was done, lay
before the fireplace while' in the
flickering light he pored over his
books saying to himself, "I will study
and perhaps my chance will come."
The chance came and he Was pre
pared. As a boy, Daniel Webster
went into the barn and made speeches
to the cattle but the day came when
his voice was to sway the Senate of
the United States and to touch the
hearts of his countrymen until they
HARRSSBURG TE3RGRXPS
—————— i. _
were ready to shed their blood that
the Union should endure forever.
Some of our presidents, our great
est Inventors and our greatest artists
gained success by bending studiously
over their books hour after hour and
by persisting under conditions that
would have proved too severe for
those who were not determined to
be prepared.
Jenny Lind was one of the sweetest
singers the world has ever known.
Her life was full of sorrow and hard
ships. Early in life shortly after she
began to appear In public, her voice
failed her and for Ave years she was
unable to sing. In those five years
she continued to work and study for
she believed that some day her voice
would come back. Her hopes were
justified and the name of Jenny Bind
will be remembered- long after the
names of more perfect and higher
paid singers have been forgottep.
So it has been with all of those
who have made their lives worth liv
ing and who have made their career
on earth a benefit to their fellow
men. It is all very well to accept the
pick ups and the lifts in life. It is
nice to have some one carry us over
the rough spots but it is the hard
plugging on the long road that puts
us In condition to meet the time
when there is no lift . Traveling on
Easy Street never helps us to Be
Prepared.
RED CLOUD.
Troop 16 Is Told Cuban
Boys Want to Be Scouts
Old Jupiter Pluvius made It Im
possible for us to go to the Hut last
Saturday as we had planned, so we
took our lunehes home and did some
indoor scouting.
On Sunday a request came to us
tor Scout literature in Spanish. A
lady instructor in a Cuban school
near Havana said that the boys are
so anxious to start a troop, that
in spite of the fact that they had no
idea of the manner of organizing,
they have already fixed up a room
for a meeting place. The request
was referred to the Supply Depart
ment. We hope the Scout Executive
will advise us as to what is neces
sary in the way of pamphlets for
this particular need.
Joseph Grove, who asked to be
transferred from another troop, was
unanimously elected a member.
William Snyder and Harry Winger
passed the tenderfoot tests and were
sworn in as Scouts.
Several games were enjoyed before
we turned the lights out. We are
getting up another group of fellows
to go to the Scout camp the second
week in August. We have four
names already, and if you haven't
been there and want to go, get in
on this. I hear the camp is full for
the last two weeks.
Mr. Mehring nas planned a week
end hike to the Hut, specializing on
signaling. If you are weak on this,
better take it In. The time is July
27th and 28th, five meals and car
fare are needed.
Last Friday we had one officer,
16 Scouts and one visitor —a good
crowd for a midsummer meeting, but
we can do better, let's beat it to
night. Crank up your wheel and run
in. We'll stand for the gas. Better
bring your poncho or in umbrella.

Troop 7 Will Go to
Roosevelt Camp July 29
Now that the weather has changed
for the better, the Scouts of Troop
7 are jubilant and with old Sol
shining so brightly,.t|ie Oast few
days it has put hew hope and pep
into the camp spirit. Certainly
Troop 7 is going on its third an
nual camping trip on Tuesday, July
29, and the cfmp has a big name
also, named after an honorary vice
president of the Boy Scouts of Amer
ica—Theodore Roosevelt, a man
highly honored by all Scouts.
The camp is beautifully located
along the creek about 8 miles above
Carlisle in the vicinity of Graham's
Hoods, with a good elevation above
high water mark.
The physical training will be in
' TT^ rSe i? Wr " Baile y. Michigan
University, now located at York
Mr. O'Donnell. of Carlisle, will try
i to see that the Scouts are wel fed
■ The general supervision of the camp
will be under the Scoutmaster and
; his assistant, Mr. Will Bailey
Distance never enters the mind of
Tom Bogar, who has a big heart for
, he boys 0 , Xroop 7 and always sees
, hat the Scouts get to camp on his
big lumber trucks.
Th ? camp committee consists of
i the following Scouts: Llovd Got

William Quaid received an achiev
i ment button and James Ray seven
palms for selling W. S S Roth

medals also, so we congratulate
them on their great interest in Uncle
RUDOLPH MILLER, Bcribe.
Pack Two Busy; Will
Go on Hike Saturday
Last Friday we made a purchase
and paid an honest debt. After de
ciding that we ought to ha" an
American flag of our own we bought
a little dandy. Then we have owed
Troop Sixteen the cost of our Pack
Flag and pennants for nearly five
months. Now our bill is paid and w
have a nice little sum left, and Crego
doesn t have to lie awake thinking
about our debts .
There was some noise during the
game of Flying Cloud, but maybe it
was a good thing for every fellow
was quiet when Mr. Mehrlng talked
on Signalling. Adrian Baker pre
sented the name of George Hain for
membership. George Grey passed the
Tenderpad test. More caps have been
ordered and we hope to have them by
next Friday. Twenty-two were pres
ent on Friday and the receipts were
SI.OO. "Very good Eddie."
This week we'll have some more
games and a new stunt, something
that we haven't done before and I
believe it will go pretty good. Then
we want to talk proficiency badges
(the cub's merit badges), that's the
step after passing the two star test.
Yes, a hike on Saturday if it doesn't
rain—bring fourteen cents and a
lunch, meet at the church at 1:46
sharp:
To-night is the night for the regu
lar meeting of Pack Two, Wolf Cubs
of Amlerlca, Harrisburg. The hour
ia 6:30. 1 thank you.

TROOP 13 BUSY
IN HARRISBURG
Members Called Upon to Help
at Meetings and
Picnics
Although one would think Scout
ing wollld fall during summer
months, Troop 13 is running full
blast. The Troop has many of its
members out of town or somewhere
on camping trips, but those remain
ing at home are putting it across
while others perhaps are watting:
for the autumn months to roll
around.
Now that the opportunity pre
sented by the Government to help
during the war in various cam
paigns, has passed, we must look
elsewhere to render our services In
keeping the Scout Oath by doing a
good turn euch day. The first place
to which we turn is our city, and
recently we have assisted in a great
many ways.
The Chamber of Commerce re
quired the services of Keller, Ken
nedy, German, and Alexander, on
July 3, while at Bowman's picnic on
July 10. Keller, German, Webster,
Alexander, Krause, and Maglauch
lin rendered their services, and had
a splendid time in return.
On Monday July 14, Kennedy,
Keller, Krause, Byrem, Zimmerman,
Moesleln, Wayne Grunden, Bruce
Grunden, and Alexander helped
make fly traps, while on July 17, at
the Y. M. C. A. picnic, Karl Moesleln
and Wayne Grunden were station
ed there for service.
Last month on July 20, the Cham
ber of Commerce held an outing at
which Kenton, Foss, Hunter, and
Thompson of our Troop wore de
tailed for service.
Therefore our Troop is still hold
ing her records in the public, good
turns done. Even last Saturday
evening a group of fellows from
Troop 13 were busy at Chestnut
Street Hall.
Troop 13 has the Social Com
mittee working hard, and that group
plans to have some activity of that
sort happening every meeting. Last
Friday evening it was planned to
have a Troop outing on the Island,
but rain prevented this, so the
| Scouts adjourned to the gym floor
where a series of Scout games were
pulled off.
This Friday evening the Troop
plans to go to Wildwood to hold
i their weekly meeting, and after
ward to enjoy a camp fire with the
additional feature of toasted marsh
mallows.
With these activities and other
notes of Scouting drawing the in
terest of Troop 13 that Troop is
extending the challenge to others —
Keep going.
FENSTEMACHEK.
Scouts Wanted to Make
Fly Traps on Saturday
Now that the rain has ceased, the
work on making fly traps will be
gin again. Scout Executive Virgin
asks for thirty Scouts to report for
this work on Saturday afternoon at
-2 o'clock. Please bring a hammer
or saw if you have one.
Qn Saturday morning the State
Health Department wants six boys
to report at room 634, fifth floor of
the north wing of the Capitol. Work
on fly traps will be done there also.
This is work of importance, and
every Scout who can should con
sider it his duty to report on this
detail.
Lift off Corns!
Doesn't hurt a bit and Freezone
costs only a few cents.
With your Angers! You can lift off
any hard corn, soft eoan, or corn
between the toes, and the hard skin
callouses from bottom of feet.
A tiny bottle of "Freezone" costs
little at any drug store; apply a few
drops upon the corn or callous. In
stantly it stops hurting, then short
ly you lift that bothersome corn or
callous right off, root and all, with
out one bit of pain or soreness.
Truly! No humbug!
For Women in
- Their "Forties"
System Needs s Bracing Nerve Aid
Somewhere between the ages of 40
and 50 years, every woman's system
has to undergo Important functional
changes that are seldom understood
and rarely prepared for Few realize
that during this changing time they
are subject to many physical and
mental trials that will tax their
nerves and strength to the breaking
point, and may, perhaps, leave them
semi-Invalids or nervous wrecks. To
the woman whose nervous system is
already weakened, this period L
doubly darigerous as in this condi
tion she is apt to be more easily af
fected by disorders which her now
overtaxed organs are unable to throw
off. Women during this changing age
need, and ought, to have some quick
acting, though harmless, remedy that,
taken into their systems, will
strengthen and invigorate their over
worked nerve cells, helping them to
stand up under the trying (train.
Wonderfully effective results are
usually given In such conditions by
the simple use of Margo Nerv Tab
lets. a combination of several well
-nown nerve vitalizing elements.
These little tablets contain no dan
gerous habit-forming drugs, and aro
entirely harmless, but helr action is
intended to quickly build up and
strengthen the entire nervous system
by feeding directly to the tired, de
vitalized nerve cells, in artificial form,
the necessary -dement* of which na
ture .a depriving them.
If yohr nerves are worn out, if you
have lost confidence, feel blue, arc
despondent and are tired out. Margo
Nerve Tablets should help you at
other leading druggists In the
once. 11. C. Kennedy, Geo. A. Gorges,
and other leading druggists in the
vicinity sell them with the positive
guarantee that they nust produce
the beneficial results expected or the
money paid for them will be re
funded.

"will be exerted to protect the peo
ple from any undue pressure," An
drew Bonar Law, government lead
er, told the House of Commons yes
terday when asked what was being
done regarding the confusion and
disorder resulting from dock work
ers' and miners' strikes.
"The government is well awarf
that there are a number of peopU
—not a very large number fortu
nately—who are aiming at the de
struction of our whole social and
political situation," Mr. Bonar Law
added. As to the agitators, he said,
"the government is not overlooking
these people."
