A party of friends was gathered
New Years day. After the wine had
been passed around there were two
glasses left on the tray untouched.
Just as we were about to drink my
brother-in-law said, "Well, folks, here's
10 happy days" His little daughter,
who had been watching the whole per-
Torrance, pointed to the glasses on
the tray and said, Daddy, whose hap

AMERICAS OBJECT.

''The object of this war is to deliver the free
peoples of the world from the menace and
the actual power of a vast military establish
ment controlled by an irresponsible govern
ment which, having secretly planned to dom
mate the world. proceeded to carry the plan
out without regard either to the sacred Obli-
cations of treaty or the long established
practices and ong-cherished principles of in
ternational action and honor; which chose it's
own time for the war; delivered it's blow
either of law or of mercy; swept whole con-
tinent within the tide OF blood-nOt the blood
of soldiers only, but the blood of innocent
women and children also and of the helpless
poor; and now stands baked but not defeat
ed the enemy of four-fifths of the world. =

Did you ever stop TO watch q
crowd around a street faker selling
some article Of household use-a po-
tota peeler, for instance? How he
persuaded the men that their wives
could not peel potatoes without it,
found ready purchasers, who laid
down their quarters, marched home
and presented the article with pride
and a righteous feeling of helping
wife in her daily labor" only to find
her peeling potatoes the same old way

Schiller than when he said: where
and whenever art deteriorates, it is al
ways the fault of the artists" The
function of art is to educate, and ele-

$NEWz and NOTES or THE BOY SCOUTS
AND SERVICE
NOTES OF BOND WORK OF
BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA

1t has always been a boys privi-
lege after the ice cream was served
to scrape out the freezer. Perhaps
the Treasury Department and the
National Council of the Boy Scouts
OF America had this in mind when
they Kept the Scouts out of the Lib
erty Loan campaign until the last
week. The Scouts astonished the
nation by scooping out more cream
than anybody thought there was in
the freezer.
The American people have discov-
cred The Boy. They used to discuss
MIN apologetically or in q humorous
vein. They did not know that he
coud organize and systematic and
nationalize and do big things in a
big way.
Even dad didn't know what was in
the boy until he came out in khaki.
started a garden in the back yard
and sold Liberty Bonds all over
town.
The success or the Boy Scouts of
America in the Second Liberty Loan
campaign was even greater than had
peen anticipated. Certainly the Boy
scouts of America had helped mate
rally in saying to our boys "over
there" as well as to our enemy "ovar
there" that we lover here" as q ma
ton are back of our Government
and our national leaders to make
this war n success.
Through organized boyhood, un-
der the leadership of the Boy Scouts
of America, a distinct service has
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-11-16

been rendered to our country. So far
as reported, the Scouts collected
$75,9S7,300 from 366,O34 subscrib-
ers. This does not incude reports
of all the work done by the Boy
Scouts. 1t appears that but few
of the smaller communities have re-
ported, and officials at national
headquarters say the total will run
well over $100,000,O00.
Assuming that a total of 5000, 900
individual Liberty Loan subscrip-
tions were sold in the entire issue,
as is reported in the daily press, it
now locks as if the Boy Scouts of
America were responsible for secur-
ing one out of every twenty, and as
suming again that q total of $1,000
100000 has been subscribed for and
that of this amount the Scout Move
ment sold $100,00O,OOO, then one
dollar out of every fifty was secured
by the Boy Scouts of America.
Certainly each and every Scout
and Scout official can feel happy
over this splendid achievement and
they may have the satisfaction of
knowing they have served our coun-
try we'll

New Patrols Formed in
Troop 8-Plan Gathering

One of the most enthusiastic
meetings in the history of Troop 8
was held Monday evening in their
new room. Former meetings had
been held on Thursday evening. AS
it inconvenienced some of the boys
greatly to be present on Thursday,
the meetings were changed to Mon
day.
The troop seems to have taken on
a new lease of life and the attend
ance has been wholly encouraging.
On Monday evening the old pa
trolls were broken up and new ones
formed. The nav patrol leaders and
assistants appointed were:
Patrol No. /, Russell Walters,
Harry Birchfield, assistant; Patrol
No. 2. r. Wallis, II. Kline, assistant:
Patrol No. 3, w. Bowman, +. Wallis,
assistant.
Plans were discussed concerning
an entertainment to be held in the
near future. The meeting then ad-
journed.

TROOP 13 TO
TAKE LONG HIKE
Active Troop Plans to Organ
ize Basketball Five

Troop 1S has had a trying expert
ence this fall in trying to get foot
ball team together. The lack of
knowledge concerning the game and
not being able to get together to
practice prevented the troop organ
izing a team.
Nevertheless, Troop 13 has not
been idle. Four members of this
troop have sold ten or more Liberty
Loan Bonds and the troop as a
whole has sold more than $4,000
worth of bonds for our Government.
Almost every troop will have a
basketball team this winter and
Troop 13 does not intend to be left
out in the cold on this sport. The
troop has the advantage of practi-
cling at the Boyd Memorial gym. AL
though a team has not been organ
lied, a committee for this purpose
has been selected.
The troop will take an overnight
hike to Stoverdale two days follow
ing Thanksgiving, and will bunk in
the scoutmaster's cottage. The troop
will explore the Stoverdale cave.
