The camp was situated in a val ley between two mountains and several long hikes were taken; one which was especially interesting, we took to the lumber camp about three quarters of the way up one of the mountains. Nearly every day some of the parents of the boys came up bring ing something good to eat, so we were well supplied. Several large bass were caught and a number of small fish. Our Assistant Scoutmaster, Mr. Rodgers could not be with us all the time but came up for several visits. Our baggage was sent up and taken down in one of the trucks of the Atlantic Refining Co., which was very convenient. All the boys managed to go home in auto mobiles as many came up to see us off. We all owe Mr. Bailey a vote of thanks for the tine camp site pro vided and for many nice things he did for us; and also to our Scout master, Mr. Manser, for the fine time we had; and to Mr. Looker who was kept busy feeding a hun grv crowd. C. L. REBUCK. Scribe. SCOUTING NOTES Troop 16 Some of our fellows who spent j the summer out of town were with i us last Friday. Patrol Leader Brown of the Wolves, who has been at William's Grove was browner than ever. Associate members. Mc- Clintock and Stover were given the glad hand. Seventeen Scouts were present. We were on the job on Kipona Day. Sixteen Scouts and two officers reported for duty in the afternoon, and twelve Scouts and one officer in the evening, and most of the time we had all we could handle. To-night there will be pa trol meetings for the purpose of planning to get out every member for the rally next week. Our fall rally will be held Friday, Septem ber'l2th at 7.30. The meeting will be addressed by Corporal Howard Hitz, Co. D. 112 th Infantry, who was wounded and gassed in the Argonne drive. Refreshments will be served, preparations are being made for sixty. Monday showed the importance of wearing troop numerals. Quite a few of our fel lows have not yet bought them. The price is only ten cents includ ing "war tax." Every fellow in Sixteen ought to wear one. HUSTON. Scribe. Troop 13 Fall is here. Also Troop 13 is : awake after a long sleep. To ; prove it the bulleting board calls j for a heap big rally on September 1 ath. This leads to the next week when the valiant Scouts of 13 will attempt to prove to Troop 8 that we have some good athletes. At that time the two troops will run ' off a real Scout meet, which will he planned and conducted by the Scouts of the two Troops. | The big attraction for this month will be on the 18th. when we will endeavor to devour a large quantity ; of chicken corn soup, plus the ex tras. The last meeting of the month : will be devoted to a visit to one of i the Troops in our district. Our motto for this year is "Watch us grow; first in quality, and then I in quantity," and as we now have both, we expect not only to hold : our own, but to give every Troop ! in the city a good long chase. We have now sixty registered ; Scouts, of which eight are First i Class. KRAUSE. Scribe. Troop 2 Did you miss us last week? Even if you didn't, we are still on the job. Twenty boys were pres • ent last Friday, and four of them i were disappointed because the new , caps had not come in. We gained ! a member and lost a member last week. Charles Brown was elected and Henry Lutz was transferred to Troop Sixteen, Some fellows were ! so full of pep last week that it was ! necessary to have a few wrestling | matches in order to take some of ' the pep out of them. One chap I shed a few tears but "nobody gets : mad." Next week we are going to have our fall rally in connection i with that of Troop Sixteen. Cor i poral Hitz is going to talk to us. There will be cats. Pay your money to your Six leader soon. Everybody out to-night at 6.30, I and And out what's doing. CUB CUNKLE, Scribe.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Salute the Boy Scouts Slim, trim figure of dusty hue. The country snaps its salute to you! Joy-boy, Toy-boy, Hobble-de-hoy boy, Whichever you are, you are tried and true. And your dourest opponent is brought to book By the bright delight of your Boy Scout look. Keen, clean face of the embryo man Above the kerchief which shows your clan. Sprite-boy, knight boy, Firm-for-the-right boy. Conquer the world, as you will and can! I We dip the flag to your world long file And the whimsical vim of your j Boy Scout smile. Your alert-curt vigor compels j our wonder; You are molded light, you are | molten thunder; Scout-heart, stout-heart, Loyal-througout heart. Sunny atop and with great deeps j under, We enter you high on the Honor Scroll— By the romping pomp of your I Boy Scout soul! —By Edmund Vance Cooke, for Newspaper Enterprise Assn. j Troop 13 -The orders were that all those who liked corn and stories, and who wanted to work off outside Scout tests, be prepared to start for Spooky Hollow at five o'clock on Wednesday. Well we started off with good luck as the bunch sot a lift to the top of the hill. At 18th and North we joined the Kellers, who by the way are sonie Scouts, as they had- visited Spooky Hollow | the day before and cut a large pile | of wood, and camouflaged it in i Scout style with green leaves. On I the way the Troop did the Harris- | burg Auto Club a good turn, as they ! removed about a bucketful of gldss I on State street. At last we arrived at Spooky, where Scouts Brink and Spangler started the tire in real Scout lash- I ion. and in less than half an hour I the corn was put in, the potatoes roasting, and the marshmallows toasting. In the meantime, some of the boys took oft some map making tests, which we hope were O. K. As the stars began to pop out, and the shadows deepened as they can only in Spooky, extra wood was thrown on the tire, and Scoutmaster German told some good ghost stor ies. During one of these, two hunt ers happened to pass that way. They stopped a while and we invited them to sit down and share our fire. The gladly did so and added to the pleasurers of the evening with several hunting stories. As it drew near to ten o'clock the fire was put out, and the Troop conveyed by the two hunters from the land of spooks and goblins to the vicinity of the Keller boys home. Here we stopped for a drink and then scattered to our homes, voting the evening a great success and making plans for more evenings like it. KRAUSE. Scribe. Church Estimates 7,003 Members Slain in War Philadelphia, Sept. 5. —•'War ex acted a heavy toll in the membership of the Presbyterian church in the United States, according to statistics made public by the Rev. Dr. William Henry Roberts, stated clerk of the Presbyterian General Assembly. The total number of deaths among Presbyterian communicants for last year was 25,396, compared to 18,- 933 in 1917, and Doctor Roberts says the difference, namely 7,003, repre sents the number of Presbyterian communicants who made the su- | preme sacrifice on the battlefields of France or who succumbed to dis ease in the camps in this country and abroad. The 9,805 Presbyterian churches of the country report fewer addi tions to their membership on con fession of faith, and this, with the enormously increased death rate, has caused a heavy slump in Presbyte rian membership. As a result of these losses, the Presbyterian church for the first time in its history reports a net decrease in membership for the year. The total membership in 1918 was 1,631,748, whereas the report for 191§ shows 1,603,033, a loss of 28,- 715. Leiperville Is Haunted Quartet of Anglers Say Philadelphia, Sept. s.—Leiperville, Delaware county, is haunted! | Four fishermen who claim to have been frightened by the "haunt" while fishing in the Ridley creek near that place agree to that much of the story. Then they disagree. One of them is positive the crea ture that chased them was a wild man. Another says it was not a man, but a monster German carp that arose from the creek and ran along .the ground on its fins. The third rrtember tells of a j strange bird, not unlike an ostrich, i that caused him to swim across the I creek to safety. | The fourth angler talks seriously lof the four-legged creature, re sembling a hyena in general contour,. ] that chased him through the woods, i The fishermen are Hugh Duffy, I John Wiley, Mike Dillon and Law- I rence Scott.
