Headquarters Troop Is
Organized in Harrisburg

Here is real news for the older
scouts of the city. A new troop to
be known as Headquarters Troop
Is to be established in the very near
future, Membership in the troop
will be restricted to scouts at least
18 years of age, The scout must be
of second-class rank or attain that
rank within three months of becom-
ing a member
Membership will also be open to
boys who have been scouts In the
past. A meeting will be held next
week at headquarters to go into the
subject. All scouts who are inter-
ested and who are eligible should
send their names to the Scout Ex-
ecutive, who will act as scoutmaster,
Only those scouts who want to
progress rapidly in scoutcraft need
apply, for the rules will be made
very strict, No scout now regis
tered in a troop will be asked to
leave his old troop, Membership
will probably be limited to twenty
four.

TOWN FATHERS KEPT BUSY
Municipal Authorities of Danzig, Ger

in About Everything.

Fraulein Gertrude Banner, in the
diary which she contributes to Die

official memorandum issued at Danzig:
1.-THE town deals in coal, babies
soothers, methylated spirits and petro-
leum, old clothes and wooden soles !;
it fattens pigs and geese and breeds
fowls and rabbits; it cooks dinner and
supper every day for many thousands
of people it provides labor and horses,
distributes prizes for horse breeding,
and places orders for army supplies; it
estimates the harvest and counts the
cattle, extracts fat from bone, and
sells vegetables and fruit in certain
shops; 1t dries vegetables and makes
sausages; it allots land for potato and
vegetable growing, and itself cultivates
land; it collects or organizes the col
lection of nettles and fruit stones; it
buys wood in Germany and in the oc-
cupied territory it kills beasts and
makes jam, examines applications for
leave from the front, and provides the
farmers with manure; it revises the
prices of bread, matches, meat, boots
and various foods, catches fish, and
supplies machinery: it collects copper,
aluminium and brass: and it distributes
sugar for jam making, and regulates
the feeding of sick persons and ba-
bies."
