about his dog; the evening of the

TO be only the tleaS, which had got

worms, beetles, and plant lice hang

up the garden, remember that they

$NENS AND NOTES OF THE. BOY SCOUTS Z
Days on the Open Road
By Red Cloud and Lone Star

worn mother of the Scout who for
some strange reason has stuck it out
TO the finish, to you and to all who
have been kind enough to go this
far, we wish to offer the invitation
TO go with us on a short trip. AS
to our destination on this trip, you
must make the decision. For your
own sake and for the sake of your
SON who is a Scout, we wish to go
back to the occasion or scene that
holds the dearest place in the mem
ory of your childhood days.
Is it some childhood romance with
the little red brick schoolhouse ftt-
ting in as an appropriate back
ground? The orchestra with its
blossoms in the spring time, the old
swimming hole, the village square
with its flagstone walks, the coon
hunt, the odor of mothers cooking
that came to your nostrils as you
came from the harvest field; is it any
of these? If so close your eyes
for moment, forget the present and
let your imagination carry you back
to that scene. Live over again the
few happy moments which all these
years have lain in your heart and
mind, smothered almost to death by
the cares of business and the paint
ed pleasures of city life. In that
brief moment find happiness in the
knowledge that you still find a rare
charm in the color of the daisy field,
the song of the meadow lark or the
walk under the old elms that line
the village street; that for you there
is rare beauty in the glory of dawn
the crimson and gold of the sunset
and in the silent majesty of night.

Divide Into Patrols on
Hikes and Have Good Time

Troop 13 assembled at the Boyd
Memorial Building at 1.30 o'clock
and then marched out to Spooky
Hollow. on the way they picked
up Scouts Russell Robert and Fos-
ter Keller in front of the Arsenal.
As We marched toward the Hollow
some one suggested that the troop
divide and go to the Hollow in diff
terent directions. SO the troop di-
vided into three patrols and off they
went over the fields. past corn
shocks, through the woods, down the
creek, down into the Hollow"
The one patrol ran across another
troop and after exchanging courte-
sizes they proceeded to the place that
they decided to meet. Games were
played and later pancakes We're
mixed and baked by each member
of the troop. Returning home, one
patrol tracked the other one and
the last patrol tracked the second
patrol

PostpOnement of Rally
Disappoints Troop 6

Disappointment and heavy
clouds of it have settled over Troop
6 since the announcement was made
that the Scout Rally would be indef-
nitely postponed. The scouts were
looking forward to the day as one of
educational value as well as one of
friendly contest and competition. The
educational value of such events as
semaphoe signaling, Morse code sig
mailing, lighting a fire with bow and
drlll, and the team work required for
events Ike the pony express race and
the antelope race are certainly not to
be overlooked. We feel that not only
scouts, but the general public of the
city, and especially the boys OF the
city, are the losers by the fact that
the rally has been postponed.
Troop is preparing for an over
night hike to be held in the near fu-
ture.

Christmas Box Will Be
Sent to u. S. Soldiers

Troop l 8 will add four more can
didates to its roll this week and
from the present indications the
present members of the troop will
have to keep right up to the notch
to hold their place.
During the last two weeks the
troop members have been taking
their fourteen-mile hikes in pairs,
and they are now drawing their
maps and writing their stories of the
trip The troop has started an in
dividual hike book. Everything a
scout does, or when he goes, or
takes a hike, he writes an account
of it and then puts his story in a
book the scribe keeps for this spe-
cial use.
The scouts will soon start their
Christmas boxes for the soldiers. 1t
is the purpose of the troop to send
boxes of goodies to the soldiers and
think every troop could do their bit
if they sent one or more boxes of
things to eat to the soldiers.

This Is What Scouts
on Bond Drive Sing

Boy Scouts who are cooperating
with the Liberty Loan Committee in
selling Liberty Loan Bonds sing a
parody on George NJ. Cohan's famous
war song, "Over There" which helps
greatly in making their sales. The
song follows:
Johnny get the mon,' get the mon,
get the mon
Help to down the Hun, down the
Hun. down the Hun,
Money talks, let money shout!
Turn your pockets inside out,
Hurry, buy bond, buy a bond, buy
a bond,
Help them over yond,' over yond,
over yond,'
Let your gold flow in a stream,
Let them hear the Eagles scream,
over here! Give a cheer!
Tell the lads over there not to
fear;
That the ranks are swelling, and
the Scouts are yelling,
And the bonds are selling, over
here;
Never fear, never fear,
We are all on the job over here.
Tell the Kaiser he'll be wiser
When he meets the troops we're
raising for him here.
Johnny, dig the dough. dig the
dough. dig the dough;
Let your dollars go, don't be slow,
let 'em go.
Help to give the Teutons fits,
Put the Kaiser on the fritz;
Make the Teutons roar, then some
more, then some more!
Help to win the war, win the war,
win the war;
Do your bit the bond to float;
Help to get the Kaiser's goat!

SCOUTING NOTES
I'm j. nj. kTINE

There is an old saying that runs
liks this: The best laid plans of
mice and men gang aft agley" This
certainly proved true in the case of
the rally which was planned for to-
day. The committee offers no ali
bis or apologies beyond stating that
everything possible was done to clear
the track for the rally, and informed
assurances were had that the day
could be made a school holiday.
That it was not, put an entirely diff
ferent aspect on the rally and de-
veloped such divergent opinions on
the part of the twenty scoutmasters
involved that the only safe course to
pursue was to postpone the affair.
This action was taken by the COM
mittee with the understanding that
we should look forward to "big-
ger and better rally in the future"
The newer troops will no doubt rec
ognize in this decision an opportunity
TO prepare more fully for participa-
ton in the new demonstration.
Local headquarters will receive in
a few avs a supply of Liberty Loan
literature for Boy Scouts. Any boys
who wish to work for a War Serv-
ice emblem may take up the matter
with his scoutmaster and arrange to
work on the campaign starting Oc-
tober %. There is a splendid primer
on craftsmanship which national
headquarters has gotten out for dis
tribution to the boys free of cost,
and this with the blank forms will
be on hand in a few days.
National headquarters sends out
word that the War Service embIems
are at last on their way There will
he seven happy boys in Harrisburg
when this news is read. The delay
in getting out the medals has been
unusual and the boys have had to
wait all summer for them. 1t Is
said that the wait will be rewarded
by the super-beauty of design and
the fact that the badges bear the
seal of a Government department.

hoping to start their season week
from the coming Saturday.
The postponement of Rally Days
was slight disappointment to the
members of Troop 10, but they arel

in all events.
