CHAPTER III.

Four of us had formed a close
friendship. We had promised to keep
together and help one another in
every danger. So we often visited the
homes Of citizens together and did our
best to Quiet the harassed people we
met and talk them out of fear of our
forces. Without exception we found
these people friendly and quick to feel
confidence In us when they learned
that we really were their friends. II
we wrote on their doors with chalk,
Here live good. honest people, please
spare them" their gratitude knew no
bounds. II so much bad blood existed
and II SO many things which led to the

SCOUTS WEAR HAT BADGE.

All genuine boy scouts should wear
the badge on the hat.
One important reason for this Is the
fact that the United States govern
ment has permitted the Boy Scouts of
America alone among boy organiza-
tons to wear uniform SIMILAR to
that of the United States army, so II
Is only fair to the authorities that the
scouts shoald wear the distinguishing
mark Of their organisation on the hat,
In order that they may not be confused
With the soldiers.

The red pantaloons Of the French

The distance between US and the re-

soldiers became happier over the out

get their past hardships. The corpses
which filed the roads and-dltches were
forgotten amid the jokes and songs

SCOUTS DOING A GREAT WORK.

The Boy Scouts Of America have
done big work this year-greater, more
valuable work was never done.
Leaders and troops, old and young,

harvested crop Of funds and food
that meant victory.
Millions Of dollars were secured for

Good Money Made
In WatermellOnS.

Several other farmers near Lex
ington might have made money on
one acre of watermellons-or less,
this year. The Hamilton Brothers
a mile or two West of town made
$4,000 on an acre or less. L. F.
Gordon, near Wildersyille, sold
$4,000 worth of MELONS from less
than acre of red hillside land, be-
sides having all wanted for home
use, for visitors and wagon loads for
the hogs. Still others might have
raised MELONS with profit, for the
MELONS don't have to command
hold-up prices to justify the farmer
in raising them. $4,000 to $500
per acre would be handsome pay
a mellon crop sold by the wagon
load to dealers in town.
