Three Per Cents Mature August 1.

Government bonds to the amount
Of $1S,0OO,000, bearing 3 per cent and
having the circulation privilege, will
mature August 1.
Banks having currency outstanding
secured by these per cents would be
wise to prepare for substituting other
bonds as soon as possible.
Substitutions will have to be by
use of registered 2s of 1880, or regis
tered 2s of 1886 and 1888. The only
other issue having the circulation
privilege-the Panama 2s-are appar-
emily out of the market at this time,
both of 1886 and 1888.
The registered Is are in fair supply
at 97A and interest and the As at
1851 and interest.
For circulation purposes the IS are
apparently the most profitable, as the
profits on every 100000 circulation
secured by them at a cost Of 1O5A
plus interest would be approximately
S1,650 per annum over loaning the
cost of the securities in the open
money market, money being figured
at per cent. as compared with $1,1O0
per annum II using the Is at 97A
and interest.
Many national banks are buying
the 2s for the reason that they believe
that the federal reserve banks will
be in the market to purchase 2s under
the provisions of the act creating
them, just as soon as conditions be-
come normal. Before the war $41,-

The orchestra of Troop has been
a busy organization since fall prac-
tice was resumed. On Sunday morn
ing at the Rally. Day exercises of the
church they took an important part
on the program. Tuesday afternoon
and evening they were on the pro-
gram of the dedication of the new
Evangelical Publishing House. The
entire musical part of the program
was under the direction of our AS
sistant Scoutmaster w. L. Bailey.
We are preparing some very lively
music for the big scout rally next
Friday night. No good scout will
want to miss this grand and glor-
ious rally.
Some of our husky scouts,
George Reinhoehl and Lawrence
Harlacker, have needed the call OF
the apple orchards of Franklin
county, and will pick apples for
several weeks, as their bit for
the farmers.
The troop scribe has been fur

which will add much to the in

your best and make a record for
yourself.

Troop Fourteen Gives
Scoutmaster Farewell

Troop IA met on the evening of
September %, the regular meeting
night holding a short business meet
ing, after which a very sociable hour
was spent in the main Sunday school
room. Piano solo by Herbert Kline;
reading by Miss Shoemaker and a
violin solo by Mr.. Sammel made up
the program. DR.. Campbell gave the
boys a very interesting talk after
which Rev. Herman on behalf of
the Boy Scouts presented Scout
Master Sammel with solid gold
scoutmaster pin and a private COM
munion set as tokens of appreciation
for his services as scoutmaster dur
ing the summer months. Mr. Sam
mel responded and thanked the
scouts for the gifts with a very ap-
propriate talk, after which the men,
bers of the Mems Bible class served
refreshments to all present.
Charles Seibert is to be the new
scoutmaster and on Saturday the
scouts of Troop IA went to take their
second class work to be second class

Committee on Public Infor.
nation Sends Appreciation
to Khaki-clad Youngsters

That scouts actually do get results
is shown by the following letter from
George Creel, chairman of the COM
mittee of public information:
Mr.. James E. West,
Chief Scout Executive.
My Dear Mr.. West: I wish to take
this opportunity to express to you my
appreciation for the assistance the
Boy Scouts of America have been to
the committee in its work.
The committee on public informa-
ton fights ignorance, misunderstand-
ing and disaffection. 1t works for the
maintenance of morale yevery pro-
cess of stimulation.
Public opinion stands recognized as
vital part of national Defense a
mighty force If national attack. The
strength of our firing line is not IN
trench and barricade alone but has
its source in the morale of the clvt-
liam population from which the fight
ing force IS drawn.
AS dispatch bearers the Boy Scouts
have carried the message Of our
President to more than 5000 600
homes, and as a result of the post
cards enclosed, the committee has
filled n million requests for pamph-
lets on the vital questions of the
war.
The battle for public opinion has
been won. There is no organized dis
loyalty. Individual disloyalty has
been isolated and marked down. We
have unity in the land to-day unex-
ampled in the history OF this or any
other nation.
The Boy Scouts have had their
part in winning this battle and they
can do much to help maintain the
unity so essential to victory.
Yours sincerely,
GEORGE CREEL

Troop 13 Proves It's Number

There seems to be ap epidemic OF

the scouts preferred at the eleventh
hour to postpone the hike and enjoy
the afternoon on the gym floor which
had just been refiniBhed, and was
painted and shell-laced enough to see
ones face on the glossy surface.
The mats were placed on the floor
and the scouts were amusing them
selves trying to down the scout
master. One lone scout was trying to
imagine he was a bird, attempting to
ascend several feet into the air but a
sudden heave made him lose his bal
ance. He put out a hand to save
himself but in the fall his wrist was
broken.
The boy was Immediately taken
to the first floor and his wrist at
tended to. DIR. Hazen, assistant scout
master has drilled Troop 13 in the
use Of a splint, and the wrist was
placed in splint. The boy was taken

pened did not have a small splint in
stock and therefore made good use

Eight Scouts of this troop last
week passed second class examina-
tions at scout headquarters. More
boys expect to take them this week
A number of boys passed tenderfoot
tests at the regular meeting.
