"For their own sakes several thousand illegal traders and capi talists are robbing their country und committing a theft of food by driving prices upward," the paper charges. "Through pressure on the rate of exchange German war bonds can be bought in Switzerland for ten marks und the loan is bought up in quantities by those who realize that Germany must ultimately be given help and that the mark will rise. "The purchaser of war loan will then make fifty per cent instead of live per cent on the Investment." The newspaper declares that some means must be found for pre venting the exportation of goods to foreign countries. It concludes with the statement that while the government is painstakingly spend ing 40,000,000 or 50.000,000 marks for oil sand fats, 400,000,000 marks worth of French perfumes, soaps and modes have arrived. The Kn tente, says the paper, must realize that it is encouraging German in ternational illicit trade at a cost of German economic life. RAISE 51,200 FOR RELIEF Columbia. Pa., Dec. 12.—1. A.

I NEWS ENDNOTES OF THE BOY SCOUTS^ Troop 16 To-niglit's instruction begins promptly at 7.30. Every member should be present. This affair was postponed from last week on ac count of the Scout Rally at Zioti Lutheran Church. Of course wo want to make the best showing we possibly can, and those fellows who are loyal will bo on the job. The time for our semi-annual re-organi zation is approaching, and we want to know just what Scouts mean busi ness. There are several vacancies in the." Eagle patrol, and one or two other breaks in tho ranks that must be closed. We enjoyed the rally last Friday. There were thirty-seven Scouts and Cubs present from this organization. We congratulate Scout Cleon Crls well for being decorated with a League of Courtesy button by Dr. Fuger. Don't forget the list of good turns, by the way. I heard that two members of Sixteen are LKge :md Star Scouts, and I hope it's true. If it is, I'll tell their names next week. An overnight hike to the Hut this week, leaving the Square at 2 o'clock on Saturday with food for three meals and carfare. We hope to re turn some time after dinner on Sun day. We have nearly a cellar-full of wood, and there is no doubt that we'll be able to keep warm. All the other details to-night at the meet ing. Come if you have to travel on crutches.

We were a little late getting home and some I parents were uneasy, but we feel that I being out until 10 o'clock occasion ally under those circumstances | ought to be permitted.
