6 &NEWS MO NOTES OF THE BOY SCOUTS# TROOP 14 AND TROOP 19 MEET Big Time Had by Boys Who Hear Some Dandy Speeches last Friday Troop 14 and Troop 19 held a joint meeting at tho head quarters of Troop 14. Scoutmaster Miller of Troop 19 gave an illustrat ed lecture on France. Scout Execu tive Virgin was present and told us the duties and responsibilities of a good Scout. Scout Commissioner German, Field Executive Hunts berger, also made addresses. Our Scoutmaster, Scott Burgoon pre sided. After the visiting Troop and the officials had gone we made our plans for a hike the next after noon, and the following day seven members of the Troop under the leadership of Ass't Scoutmaster Ivowry, set out for Good Hope Mills. After hiking about two miles we arrived at the rilte range at oyster Point and as they were shooting at a 500-yard range and even then tho bullets seemed to have no inclina tion to stop, we detoured on a side road and after hiking another mile arrived within 100 yards of our starting point at Enola. AVe then branched off and after hiking about seven miles arrived at Good Hope Mills. Here we took a swim. On our way home we stopped at a country store where we intended to have something to eat, but the store keeper said he had nothing but pretzels and candy so we didn't eat much. Wc arrived home tired and hungry, having been on the road all that time with nothing to eat but five cents worth of candy, two pret zels and a stick of chewing gum apiece. JOEL EARNEST, Scribe. P.

I.—Mayor Hague has ordered Commissioner of Public Safety O'Rrien to "stamp out" a movement on foot to organ ize the city's police department for affiliation with the American Fed eration of Labor. Any patrolman promoting the movement is to be suspended, according to the Mayor's 1 order. WjE UNDER ,UNDER SELL {The Truth About Shoe Prices! ; For Fall 1 Prices as you no doubt are aware are to be much higher for the coming season, with in- & creases of from one to two dollars a pair on men's and ladies' shoes. J Leather has advancecd about 60% within the last seven months and with higher labor J costs, an increase in the finished shoe is bound to take place. C The embargo on the exportation of leather lifted and Europe practically bare of it, ■ both shoes and leather are being shipped abroad in immense quantities. ' J * Do you realize that a pair of women's McKay sewed pumps, such as we sold this sea g son for $2.98 to $3.98 are bringing $lB.OO a pair in Europe and that we Americans are bid- | ding in our own market against the European buyer who is willing to pay any price for leather? I I The maximum price of leather Which protected the public and held down prices during < the war has been abolished, and at present there is no limit as to price. Under present conditions the shoe and leather market is bound to continue rising un til the foreign and domestic prices have reached the same level of values. i ?All this means for you to buy shoes now and lay in a supply for the coming winter, f It is now a very ordinary occurrence for us to sell a customer 3 or 4 pairs at a time. i i HEED THIS—Our present retail prices are less than present! wholesale costs.

Fourth Street jj FRIDAY EVENING, Last Call Far Camp This is tho Inst call for camp, as wc expect to close it on or about August 23rd. It looks as if'these next three weeks are going to be very full ones. Troop 14 expects to send at least fifteen next Monday, and Troop 26 has registered at least twenty Scouts and a number of fathers, and still has some to hear from. The week of the 10th, Troop 16 will send its second batch, and Troop 12 will ntso have a large squad. Troop 15 hopes to have quite a num ber out also. A number of other Troops will send small groups or individual boys, so that it looks as if camp will be occupied to its capacity. However, any Scout who wishes to spend a week or so in camp will always be provided with tent shelter and a cot, and no one worries about the eats. Since the tiood, swimming is bet ter than before. The torrent that swept through the lower dam has cleaned out a swimming hole with water varying in depth from two feet to nine feet, this latter depth opposite the mess hall where the big slide and diving board are placed. Fishing too is better than ever, and it is a common occurrence to catch AH Aboard For Camp Week of August 10 All aboard for camp—week of August 10th. Troop 16 has eight fellows signed up, and more coming. Let's mak-_ it sixteen, what do you say? Foose came home last Fri day, having spent nearly five weeks at the camp. Get busy and work and be able to treat yourself to a real week's vacation. The patrol leader of the Eagles has the fever and it will be interesting to note just how far his enthusiasm spreads. According to a bill received from Headquarters our supplies have ar rived and will be distributed at the meeting on Friday. Next Friday, August Bth, a joint meeting with the Cubs at 7.30 to be addressed by Lieut. Fred F. Lutz, the man to whom some of our Scouts addressed letters to be passed to French Scouts. Lieut. Lutz was in France for two years doing tele phone work and has a story to tell. Let every fellow be on hand to hear him.

As Scout Paul is only about three feet nine inches or perhaps four feet in height, another Scout will have to find a pretty large snake to put himself in Edwin's class.

Appears on Horizon After Month's Absence After a vacation of almost a month, Troop 20 once more reap pears above the horizon of Seout dom. To-night we hold our first meeting under our new Scoutmaster Mr. Wm. D. Meikle, of the TechnU cal High School faculty. Mr. Meikle is well and favorably known and we are glad to have him for our new leader. On July 3 when the Chamber of Commerce asked for volunteers for a municipal good turn, Ilaer, Con rad, Tyson, Brunner, Rowan, 'shaft ner. Parsons, and Rankin respond ed from this Troop. Those who have not gone to camp or who wish to go, got in touch with me as soon as possible so that reser vations may be made for you. The re-registration curds have come, all of them, and they will be given out at the meeting. If you have not paid your fee, bring It with you, as no cards will be given out unless you "come across" first. Many of our fellow-members are out of the city, but let us have a good turnout of those who have not departed from our midst. The meeting will not be very lengthy, (but it will start promptly at 7:3"o. INo slackers. "Nuff red." J. EDGAR SELLERS, Ass't. Scoutmaster, Troop 13 Enjoys Day in Reservoir Park As the dayß grow warmer and old | Sol continues to warm Mother Earth | more and more each day as the end : of summer nears; it is only natural j that the fellows seek the quiet cool | spots of the outdoors. At least, so ( it happened with Troop 13, and as | our weekly meetings are continued j throughout the summer for those who | ; are at home, we left tile Boyd Mem- j • ! ! orial Bldg. last Friday evening for j Cherry Hill at Reservoir Park. There j wore twenty-two present and the i usual program was carried out. Of j course tho Scouts had to have some J activity, physically, so therefore • sides were picked and a tussel was I on. But this soon gave way to a I more popular game of Chase. Sides i were chosen and the first side given ! so many minutes to get away after | which side number two gave chase, i The game is something like hare and I hounds, but here there was no trail i to follow, so the game lasted quite a I length of time. After we had en j joyed this game, the Scoutmaster | who had a number of the younger | Scouts with him decided that it was j growing late and we must start for i home, but the other fellows were l not to be found and the Scoutmaster knowing that they could look out for themselves, started out with the younger boys. : In the meantime, the older Scouts I decided to give the Scoutmasters side a scare and lay in wait until that side should pass by where the larger fellows were hiding. The Scout j master, who is very observing I noticed that the bushes were mov- I ing in an unnatural manner and so without telling the fellows with him. or showing any sign of his learned knowledge, he left with the younger boys by another way for home. Of course the story ends just right. The joke was never learned; the Scout master had his charges homo and the park turned over to the older fellows of the Troop. When we ar rived home, however, the day was ! coming to a close with chimes peal ing out the end of another perfect day. Wm. Fenstemaeher. TROOP II BIAS UO TENTS Last Monday evening Troop 11 held its meetings out of doors in stead of going into the Church. Camp plans were discussed and it was decided we would go to Mt. Gretna if we could possibly get the ground. Last week Mr. Manser bought twenty tents from the Armory they are 7 by 8 1-2 wall tents and have flys, they have no poles but they can be easily made. It was also decided we would go the last two weeks of August. If the ground cannot be secured at Jit. Grelna we probably will go up in Clarks valley about one mile above Alger Boiley's farm where we l have had two very nice over night I hikes. All members are urged to be ! present at the meeting on Monday evening, August 11th, as all Camp j orders and final arrangements will i be given out'at that time. C. L. REBUCK. Scribe.
