Troop 13
Once more as in the past two
years, Troop 13 is getting into the
swing of the coming winter activi
ties. Of course, it is with regret
that we return to city life after
| spending weeks and weeks in the
i mountains and along streams en-
I Joying those things that only Father
! Time and Mother Nature can offer,
(but all things must come to an end,
and that is the reason we return
once more to take up our studies
| for nine long months.
However, a fellow must have
i amusement, etc., during his grind of
i studies, and therefore the scout 3 of
1 Troop 13 have returned to their
headquarters, and are making plans
j for the winter. Troop 13 held out
side meetings all summer, but a
great many of the boys werp camp
ing or away on vacations. Once
more back home, though, scouting
Is drawing them back to the old
scene of past activities.
Troop 13 has four committees, the
membership, social, refreshment
and hike committees, working for
the interest of the boys this winter.
Tho six patrols are well filled up,
and each patrol is endeavoring to
hold meetings of its own during the
month, so that it can easily be seen
that the Scouts themselves are work
ing to make the winter months ac
tive and interesting. We have a
first aid and a signaling team. The
first aid team has seen service on
different occasions while the signal
ing team was also a feature at dif
ferent times throughout the sum
mer.
The members of the Troop are
being drilled twice a month so as
to secure better form. This is a new
departure for Troop 13, and the
boys are showing great enthusiasm
in the semi-monthly drills.
Last Thursday night at the Court
of Honor meeting at Scout head
quarters, James Byrem and John
Thompson passed first class tests,
and are already working hard for
Merit Badges. Both these Scouts
are assistant patrol leaders, working
earnestly for the Interests of the
Troop. This flow makes a total of
eleven First Class Scouts for Troop
Managers for the first and second
basketball teams this fall were elect
ed and within the next week a meet
ing will be held to discuss the
Troop's schedule and athletic
strength for winter sports. We will
not Indulge in games to a great ex
tent this winter, should it be found
that they are interfering with our
other Scout work, but when time is
found, Troop 13 will surely have a
full schedule.

HE-ORGANIZATION SUCCESSFUL
The Owl Patrol of Troop 13 is
among the leading pateols itethough
it had to repair the ladder Vofore it
could climb.
The patrol wag organized in the
fall of 1918. It consisted of strong
sturdy fellows who Joined the Troop
for sports instead of scouting. It
did not take the patrol leader long
to discover this, and get real Scouts
instead. Hard work was needed to
bring it up to the proper standard.
The first really successful meeting
of the Patrol was held tn May 1919.
Although the beginning of summer
was a poor time to start to climb,
the fellows held on all summer and
are still hanging on. When organ
ized, the Owl Patrol was the fifth
or last Patrol in rank, but since that
EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush
Kidneys if Bladder Bothers
You
Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known author
ity. because the uric acid in meat
excites the kidneys, they become
overworked: get sluggish; clog up
and cause all sorts of distress, par
ticularly backache and misery in the
kidney region; rheumatic twinges,
"?, ver „ e , headaches, acid stomach, con-
Jtipition torpid liver, sleeplessness,
"'adder and urinary Irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
Kidney s aren't acting right, or if
bladder bothers you, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize
tho acids in the urtna so it no longer

makes a delightful effervescent
llthla-w&ter drink which millions of
men and women take now and then
to keep the kidneys and urinary or

Troop 16
As no letter from our troop ap
peared on last week's page, a little
past history might not be out of
place. On Friday, Sept. 26 we had
a short meeting In the church, and
then at 8 o'clock hiked to Spooky
Hollow where we cooked a rather
late supper. Twenty-five Scouts
were in on this. On the 27th three
of our fellows went on the general
hike to Cottage Hill. On Sunday
28th, twenty Scouts under Asssit
ant Scoutmaster Mehring reported
for duty at headquarters at three
o'clock in connection with the Wel
come Home celebration. On Mon
day, the 29th, Mr. Mehring had
twenty of our Scouts on the job from
1.30 to 9.30 making themselves gen
erally useful.
Last Friday, Scoutmaster Swartz
and Assistant Scoutmaster Gottshall
of Troop 27 were welcome visitors.
Mr. Swartz is an overseas man and
he told us some interesting things
about railroading in France.
Our advancement campaign is
going ahead very nicely. We have
three Merit Badge Scouts, fourteen
second class, and thirteen tender
foot Scouts, and one candidate.
Frank Foose has 19 Merit Badges;
Wilbur Criswell 13, and John Stein
HAHHteBURG gfil TELEGRAJPH
er, 3. The merit standing for Sep
tember is as follows: Frank Foose,
860; Wilbur Criswell, 857; and Cleon
Criswell, 702.
Seven aluminum cook kits have
been sold to fellows in our troop
lately. I know some people aren't
going to be hungry on hikes.
Assistant Scoutmaster Mehring
took charge of Troop 5 at its Scout
master on Monday night. Our con
gratulations and best wishes go with
him.
Every member of 16 is urged to
be present to-night. We have a
busy month ahead of us, and we
muusutu get our plans in shape.

Pack Two
Good evening, everybody. We
were A. W. O. L. for two weeks, but
we expect to be on the job as before.
Nineteen clubs were present at the
meeting last Friday. Since our fall
rally we have been able to tell Just
who are interested and who are
not. The names of six fellows were
taken off the roll so now we are
just twenty-four strong. The printed
requirement sheets were distributed
last Friday, and nearly half of the
time was spent in reviewing the
T'enderpad work. Ezra Meals passed
the Tendejpad test after the meet-
ing,, and will be given the pack
numeral to-night. Henry Lutz, the
latest cub to be transferred to Troop
Sixteen has made good in a way
that reflects credit on Pack Two.
The merit standing for September
is as follows; R. Cunkle, 577, Chees
Boak, 561, and Charles R. Boak,
503,
To-night we want to start prompt
ly at 6.30. The contest postponed
from last week will be one of the
features. We are kind of anxious
to go visiting. Isn't it soon time for
our district rally or a general scout
rally?
CUB CUNKLE,

Troop 4
Troop 4, the veteran troop of Har
risburg met on Monday evening, Oct.
6, during which the election of offi
cers took place and addresses were
made by Scout Commissioner Ger
man and District Commissioner
Fred Rowe. Mr. Gorman and Mr.
Rowe both impressed upon the fel
lows that the reason that some
troops are inactive is that the Scout
master is only in the troop for the
glory which he gets out of it and
fails to stand back of him and work
together. *

placing the Troop Flags as our flags
have seen such hard use. A com
mittee consisting of Klugh, Wal
lower and Dickinson were appointed
to see about replacing them.
Two new members were admitted
into the troop. They were Karl
Relmer and Grier Reimer who were
transferred from Troop 2 of Lewis
town.
The officers elected were; Presi
dent, Alex Wieland; vice-president,
Edward Keller; secretary, Stanley
Hosmer; treasurer, Paul Hope.
Registration dues were collected
and judging by the amount of pep
in the crowd everything points to
another successful year.
Wolf Patrol, Troop 13
The call of the Wolf has at last
re-echoed, and the members have
responded. During the summer the
Wolf Patrol disbanded, but now that
fall is here patrol meetings once
more swing into place.
Several changes in the way of
holding office have been made in tho
patrol lately. Scoutmaster German
appointed Wm. Fenstemacher as an
; acting Assistant Scoutmaster, and
since this left the office of Patrol
■ leader in the Wolf Patrol vacant,
Robert Keller was elected to fill that
i position, while John Thompson is
! acting as assistant patrol lieader.
