TROOP 11 BACK
FROM CAMPING
Rain on Four Straight Days
Docs Not Dampen
Boys' Spirit
Troop 11 is just back from a fine
camping trip of thirteen days, from
August 18 to 30th in Clarks' Valley,
about five miles from Dauphin.
Our first day at camp the weather
was fine. We got all the canvas up
before dark. It rained during the
next four days and during the hard
est shower, the rain came through
several of the tents, but that only
lasted a short time. That evening
Mr. Bailey came up and ordered
boards sent for floors for all the
tents. This proved very good even
in dry weather.
We had two nice baseball fields,
one on either fide of the camp,
sine 1 , had one or two games every
day; during the first part of camp

FRIDAY EVENING.
we went swimming once a day, but
the latter part we ' went twice
daily.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
