What Scouting Does For the Boy

or one of them doing q kind act,
and notices the strong bodies and
red cheeks, and, above all, the happy
and contented spirit of the boys.
They are the boys who find time in
spare hours to study nature, the
boys who are always out in the
open playing the games that are
beneficial to their bodies. The fa-
ther wishes, often too late. that he
had allowed his son to become a
scout and receive the instruction and
training and be embodied with the
spirit which makes the scouts the
outstanding figure of young man
hood.
Now. fathers, take this to heart
and do not allow yourself to be-
come one of the group of men who
make this mistake and see the re-
suit in weak, sallow boys, who have
no greater ambition than to smoke
at least one pack of cigarets n day.
Don't become one of the men who
wish they had allowed their sons to
become Boy Scouts before it was too
late, and. after letting tho boy join,
do not stop at that. but become in
terested personally. Go to the meet
ings and find out what is done, and
l can say that you will be interested
in recalling the Indian lore and wood
craft you knew as a boy.

Assistant Scoutmaster. Troop 6,

The greatest aim of the American
boy on attaining the age of twelve
is. to become a Boy Scout. There are
already several hundred thousand
boys in this organization, and what
they have done is in the mind of
every official at Washington. The
prominent part taken by the Boy
Scouts in the floating Of both Lib
erty Loans shows how valuable the
organization is to the nation. The
individual value of scouting to the
boy cannot be valued in the form
of so many dollars. There have been
cases where the toughest gang of
boys have been turned into good,
useful young men bN the Boy
Scouts.
Every father wants his boy to be-
come a good, useful citizen andA is
careful that the boy receives the
best schooling possible. and then
forgets that the boy must be en-
ployed when he has no school work
to do. The father objects to the
boy becoming a, Boy Scout, using as
an argument, that scouting does not
do any good. Too often the lad
thinks that the father does not care
what he does, and sneaks down to
the pool room after supper and be-
comes associated with petty gam
bling and cigaret smoking, which
wreck him, body and soul.
Then the unwiSe father by some
chance sees the scouts in parade,

General Clement
For Congress Seat

A boom for General Charles NJ.
Clement, Of Sunbury. former COM
pander of the Pennsylvania division
at Camp Hancock, for the Republican
nomination for Congress, in the
Northumberland district, has been
launched by the Miltonian, the news
paper of Deputy Secretary of the
Commonwealth +. A. Godcharles The
chances are excellent for a Republi-
can Congressman in that district this
year.
Mr.. Godcharles says in part: I'VE
know of no man who sizes up to
the requirements of this most inn
portant office in nearly the proper
tion as does MAJOR General Charles
NJ. Clement, of Sunbury. We COM
mend this patriotic citizen soldier
statesman to the voters of the Six
teenth Congressional district as the
one man most needed to represent us
at this most critical period. Major
General Clement has personality
and appearance that is both dignifed
and imposing. He is a man whose
voice and ote would put the Sixteenth
Congressional District on equal terms
with the best represented Congress-
ional district in the United States
bar none. We earnestly hope his
many friends will be able to induce
him to enter the campaign and repre-
sent the district in our National
Legislature.

COAL SHIPMENTS

Crisis Safely Passes, Say the
Dealers and Fuel Adj
miniStrator

Eighteen cars of anthracite coal
arrived over the Pennsylvania Rail-
read yesterday, according to the re-
port made to Ross A. Hickok, fuel
administrator for Dauphin county.
Two cars of bituminous were report
ed to- have arrived yesterday for
household consumption. Six cars of
anthracite are said to have arrived
over the Reading line from the Read
ing Coal and Iron Company. Deal
ers in the Hill district have accused
the Reading company of not taking
care of them during the coal crisis
Dealers supplied by the Reading Coal

morning that the coal arriving over
the Reading is not equally distributed
among the dealers. Dealers COM
plain that when a small shipment

Blocked by Block
Just inside the door OF the ex-
hibition hall, as the Governor was
shaking hands with Joseph o,
Thomas. of Wilmore, Cambria coun-
ty, he was stopped by William D.
Block.
You're the Governor. aren't you?"
asked Block.
Right" said the Executive, ex-
tending his hand, which Block
shook cordially.
You can't act as auctioneer here
tonight" said Block.
The Governor gave a surprised
look at Block and then, coming
quickly to the conclusion that a
stranger was jollying him a bit, he
said:
Extends Card
30 yes; yes; that's right" Then
he laughed.
But I mean it." said Block.
Here's who 1 am"
He extended O card to the Gov
ernor. 1t bore this legend: William
d. Block, License Tax Officer, Har-
risburg, Pa. Room 6, Second story,
Courthouse" The Governor scanned
IL.
We'll" he said.
you haven't an auctioneer's IL
cense, have you?" asked Block.
Certainly not" declared the Ex-
ecutive.
"Then you can't auctioneer in
Harrisburg" declared Block, very
firmly. "You can't violate our or
dinance. We don't put these ordi-
nances in the book to be violated,
you know"
For the Red Cross
But this is a little aution for the
benefit Of the Red Cross" spoke in
Agricultural Secretary Charles e.
Patton. You know what the Red
Cross is. don't you?"
YES" said Block, hauling a lit
tie book from his pocket. But 1
don't see anything in this little book
about eXempting the Red Cross from
the auctioneer law. There amt a
word in here about that. So this
man can't auction In Harrisburg.
And If he does I'll have to arrest
him; and let me tell you that the
fine is anywhere from $50 up"
"But the Governor merely wants
to start this Red Cross auction" in
sisted Patton.
He thumbed over it's pages.

they have received from one to three
cars during January.
Householders in the Hill district
suffer more than any others through
the coal shortage. The offices in that
district are always assailed by many
more customers than the dealers can
supply, and in many cases their need
for coal is urgent. 1t is in the Hill
district that the most coal is sold in
small quantities. and delivered In
sleds or wagons by customers.
Arrive steadily
The big dealers in Harrisburg have
been receiving fair shipments this
week. Mr.. Hicllok said. With eight
cen cars of coal received yesterday
and a daily shipment this week Of
about fifteen cars, Harrisburg has
slowly drawn away from the danger
point in the coal situation. There
has been enough coal in the city this
week to remove all doubt that urgent
cases can be relieved. and to avoid
suffering. During the early part of
the week many people who had been
without coal for weeks managed to
secure small supplies to tide them
over their difficulty. Harvey Il. De-
walt, manager of the United Ice and
Coal Company, said this morning the
ranicky feeling of the public has
given place to a more secure feeling.
He says that large per cent. OF
people calling for coal now state that
they have enough to tide them over a
few days. thus making it easier for
the dealer. Hitherto most of the or
ders for coal were for immediate de-
livery. and kept the coal yards of the
dealers drained.
supply Not Large
Mr.. Hickok says that while the
situation is better than last week,
there is by no means a good supply
of coal in the city. Dealers cannot
by any means fill all the orders that
they receive, and many people are
still without coal. Some of the deal
ers are adhering to the practice they
began last week, and not taking or
ders except for the coal they actu-
ally have in their yards or on their
sidngs. The sight of more coal then
hitherto on the sidings. during the
week, however. Mr.. Hickok said, has
given n more stable feeling to the
public.
One things that has helped the sit
uation immensely is the disposition
of bituminous coal for household
consumption. 1t is estimated that
half the dealers are supplying their
customers with bitumnous. Some of
the dealers are not en- thusiastic over
the result of their attempts 80 sell
bituminous. Nevertheless. many homes
in the city are being heated steadily
with bituminous coal.
