 AMERICA HEADQUARTERS NOTES

Scouts let us make the Fourth Lib- erty Loan campaign our greatest achievement In the three previous loans the Boy Scouts procured one out of every 2S subscriptions. Presi- dent Wilson again summons us to this important duty. His letter to the President of the National Council, Boy Scouts of America, is as follows,
 My Ezar MT. Livingstone - The active service of every Scout and of ficial enrolled as a member of the Boy Scouts of America is depended upon to help make the Fourth Liberty Loan a success. The fact that Scouts secured 1,322,649 subscriptions, rep resenting $2o3,169,Oo in the previous campaigns is convincing testimonial to the value of organized boyhood for the kind of patriotic service that is worth while. am informed that Boy Scouts rendered other valuable ser vice throughout the country to the local Liberty Loan committees.
 "I beg every member of the Boy Scouts of America to realize that the service rendered by the boys has been greatly appreciated by the whole na- ton and that not only the officials of the treasury and of the various Lib erty Loan committees are looking to them for effective work in the fourth campaign, but that the whole country, which is already proud of them, ex poets it. There is no better way in which they can show their desire to help to win the war.
 will you not be kind enough to arrange at the earliest possible time, in accordance with the plans of the Treasury Department, to have the Boy Scouts of America work out through their local leaders in cooperation with the local Liberty Loan commit tees the necessary details for effective service?
 Cordially and sincerely yours,
 Signed WOODROW WILSON" There are two plans which will be followed in this Liberty Loan and the Bridgeport Liberty Loan committee will decide which plan they prefer us to follow.
 Plan No. 1.
 The Scouts to start in at the open ing of the campaign Sept. 28. and continue through to October 19. If this plan be followed the Scouts must secure 25 individual purchasers to secure a War Medal.
 Plan No. 2.
 Scouts will act as "G1eaners After the Keepers" which was the former plan. This would confine the Scouts actual sale time to the last seven days of the campaign. If this plan be followed the Scouts sell to 10 indi- vidual purchasers for a War Medal. This plan of campaign and this method of award is the same as in the three previous campaigns.
 In the three Liberty Loan cam paigns the entire movement of Boy Scouts secured 1,341,s30 subscrip- tions, amounting to $205, ,407,700.
 In the third campaign also over 35,- 900 Scouts were awarded with medals.
