But in reality everything is orderly,
for even the calls-mistaken for yells
are regulated by patrols-that is,
Scout in one patrol must not take up
the call of another patrol.
When the Scouts arrive in a semi
circle facing the Chief Scout, they are
seen not only to be standing in abso-
lutte silence, but, by an ingenious sys-
tenn of various colored flags on which
they rushed, are also arranged in or
der of troops extending outwards like
the spokes of great wheel-a patrol
leader with his patrol flag in front,
and the scoutmaster and assistants in
the rear.
Now arrive the Wolf Cubs coming
in at the double in splendid style, and
range themselves crescent shape in
front of the Scouts-little chaps from
eight to eleven years old. with laugh
ing, sparkling eyes. all as keen as
mustard. Officers to the 'front.'" The
chief goes slowly round, shakes hands
with every scoutmaster and assistant
(scouts always shake with the left
hand) giving encouragement here,
making inquiries there. The King S

special recognition. after which a
diminutive Scout appears from no.
where carrying an exquisite bouquet
almost as large as himself, which the
Lady Chief graciously receives and
more graciously acknowledges in a
charming little talk, just the kind that
Scouts love.
The commissioner thanks the Chief
Scout and Lady Chief for coming to
Bristol, which the lord mayor en-
dorses, and then from all his Scouts
wild and great cheer browns all
else. The chief is decidedly pleased
and makes stirring appeal to carry
on" He has the knack of always say
ing just the right thing in the right
way He is always practical and ever
interesting-and best of all he under

Hats on slaves again Three Cheers

Chief Scout, and quickly the boys Pc

Majesty that one wonders If it reaches
his ears at Buckingham palace-and
so ends the great and wonderful rally.

PROOF CONCLUSIVE

TINE Democratic campaign COM
nittee has discovered that MIR.
Hughes intends to wipe out all
beneficial legislation enacted by the
Wilson administration. The commit
tee has proved this to its own satisfac-
tion because
A dispatch from Chicago says
That the Chicago Tribune says
That its correspondent in Milwaukee
says
That Albert d. Nortoni, who is now
stumping the State for Wilson, says:
Hughes would wipe out the whole
legislative accomplishment of the
Democratic administration"
Laying aside the lurking suspicion
that few people would regard as a
great misfortune the "wiping out" of
at least a portion of this Legislative
accomplishment" we calm ourselves
sufficiently in the confusion into which
Mr.. Nortini has thrown us to ask
where in all tarnation he got his in
formation.

BRAVE BOY SCOUTS

TIME Boy Scouts of Cambria county

promotion whenever the forest SER
vice may call upon them for assist

Struggle For Expression
[Charles Leonard Moore. |

There is a certain hardship in each
ages struggle to attain expression
against the overwhelming mass of ex-
preston already in existence. In no
other field of human effort does the
practitioner have to contend with
ghosts. A living general does not
have to array his battalions against
Caesar or Hannibal or Napoleon. A
living athlete does not go up against
Heracles or Milo. But a book or pic
turc or musical composition has to
fight not only against its natural rivals
of the present, but against all that has
been preserved from the past.

THE STATE FROM DAY TO DAY

Rumors that ghostly apparition

to the formation CT a ghost t-hunt g

1T wasn't any vision conjured up by the
youthful Imagination of Dead Eye

'He rides around town on bicycle
and wears smoked glasses because the

sentence in a leading Hanover daily is

rnanity. one of the coming business
men of Hanover. He is a newsboy now
and looks forward to the time when he
can support his mother.
Adding insult to injury was the act
of the Reading man who was hailed in

Making the Best of 1t

/ guess will play to-day
With the boy ecross the way;
Flo has got paralysis;
His two legs are Just like this;
He can't move 'em. nor his feet,
And can't run along the street,
And he can't chase honey bees
because he can't work his knees)
Over In the clover lot.
For the honey they have got.
So I go and play with him:
And swing IN on a limb
Right beside where he is at.
And he sees me skin the cat.
And feels better to see me
Active. like he used to be;
And when my kite Is up high
let him hold II. and l
Set and look at it UP there
And him settin' in his chair.
Made a messenger one day.
And then sent it away
Up the string. way to the kite

And I had addressed it so
God would get 1t and would know
Jim's legs wouldn't work and we
Would be glad as we could be
If God made them strong, and then
Us two gids could run again.
But Jim didn't know had.
So he amt a-feeIin' bad
About what God didn't do:
(It was good he never knew;)
And got it back ag'in
When 1 wound my kite string in.
That there kite went up so high
1t was way up in the sky,
But the angels didn't get
1t. so Jim amt well till yet.
So guess I'll go and play
over there with him to-day;
! would like to have a swim,
But that amt no fun for him.
So I'll take him from his chair
And will set him down out there
Where the sandpile is, and we
Will make forts and things and be
Kind Of happy, but you miss
Lots with the paralysis.

THE MILK SUPPLY

n HILK supply protection and regu-
lNl lation being now subject of
discussion in Harrisburg, there
is much local interest in the views
presented by DR.. John B. Carrel be-
fore the Pennsylvania State Medical
society at Scranton this week. DR..
Carrell said
Make each city the distributor of
its milk supply. Give the profits of
the retail dealer to the producer
and you give him an incentive to
produce good milk. He can not pro-
duce hygienic milk without a
monetary loss at the price he now
receives. Give him profit and we
will get milk of quality.
Whether or not DIR. Carroll has hit
upon the ultimate solution of the milk
problem in cities, it Is unquestionably
true that unless some way is found
to insure the safety of all milk sold
the people will one day take the mat
ter into their own hands. In Harris
burg we are going to try the expert
ment of more vigorous regulation of
dairies' with the milk dealers and ice
cream manufacturers cooperating.
The next move must be toward State
inspection of all dairies.
