TROOP 13HOLDS
A BIG JUBILEE
Scouts Present Clever Knot
Board to Scout Executive
]. F. Virgin

For the first time since the Re-
freshment Committee was organized
has it showed what it can do and we,
the Scouts of Troop Thirteen, take
our hats off to the now famous
committee. How it happened I do
not know, but it came all at once
that it was surprise and the chair
man, who is Joseph Hagar, and his
crew who form that committee, sure
ly deserve credit for the fine way in
which the supper was pulled off. You
want to know something about it;
well 1t came off this way:
At seven o'clock sharp on last Fri
day evening, thirty Scouts with nine
visitors gathered in the Scout room
of the Troop at the Boyd Memorial
Building and there at 7.05 o'clock
sat down to the second feast that
Thirteen has ever had. Connected
with the supper was the Troops
usual Scouting meeting and Robert
Keller, who was acting as chairman
that week, called for order and the
regular opening exercises were held.
Many boys were called upon to give
short talks and they all came off
in fine order. The one which was
the hardest pulled off was that
which was given by Scout Karl Noes
lein. 1t seems that what he wished
to pull off about happened in 1918.
Moeslein must have got stage fright
but the same story continued to hap
pen in 1918 and when he finished 1t
was with the same results, sit hap
pened in 1915" Joseph Hagar was
called upon to give talk about 10y
atty and showed in what way Troop
Thirteen. was loyal to Scout head
quarters. Now those who are known
quite well at headquarters will re-
member that the office was shy q
good. honest looking knot board.
Therefore Scout Executive Virgin
was presented with a knot board
much better than that which is
owned by the Troop itself, and that
is saying not a little bit. Troop Thir-
teen had owned the best knot board
in the city but now Scout Executive
can claim the right of having the
best knot board, but it was the boys
of Troop Thirteen that made it and
they were proud indeed when the

ing down Fourteenth street near
Vernon when we saw a man fall in
the middle of the street. A dog near
him just escaped being sat on and
ran yelping into a nearby alley. The
man picked himself up and started
on his way. We asked him if he was
hurt and he said that he was not, but
he informed us that he was "all cut
up." (Also intoxicated.)
He was medium sized man of
about fifty years of age. He GER
tainly looked all cut up. There was
blood on his collar, his face and his
hands. On the right cheek just be-
low the eye was an ugly cut and
bruise which looked as though it
had been done about twenty-four
hours before. He will no doubt carry
the scar for life.
He asked us where he was and Bob
told him that he was on Fourteenth
street.
Fourteenth street - thass all

| told him Harrisburg and he told
is about forty miles from this city.
He said he would give two dollars to
any one who would take him home.
He reached for his pocket book and
gave an exclamation of surprise
when he found that 1t was gone.
He remembered that some fellow
had taken him out and he guessed
that the same fellow had relieved
him of his pocket-book. We told
him that we were Scouts and did
not want any money. We asked him
if he knew any person in Harrisburg.
He said he did but he did not want
them to see him in his condition. He
named hotel where he was known.
We told him that he could not get
home that night but that we. would
take him to the botel whe ere he cOuld

Those of us who are past middle
age are prone to eat too much meat
and in consequence deposit lime-salts
in the arteries, veins and joints. We
often suffer from twinges of rheu-
matism or lumbago, sometimes from
gout, swollen hands or feet. There
is no longer the slightest need of
this, however, as the new prescrip-
ton, "Anuric," is bound to give I'M

more potent than lithia, in ridding

Well, to change the subject, have

L do not believe a lot of you are

easy time you have.
They do not have electricity in
France as in America. L suppose
now they have electricity in Paris
since the armistice. The boys work
as soon as they are ten or twelve
years old. They do not read like
Americans, and only a few people
get papers which are only two and
four pages. The boys do not run and
play nor even swim as American
boys do. They walk around like old
men in their big, clumsy wooden
shoes. They know nothing of the
Boy Scouts in this part of France,
but it would be a great place for
Scouts. The country is very hilly,

Marine. Bombs have torn holes in
the ground five or six feet deep. My
job is TO locate pieces of shells or

Scouts, above all, don't neglect
your Scout meetings. Set aside that
one evening for Scout work and get
interested. Get after the boys who
do not attend and persuade them to
come. The Scout movement is one
great movement that is all your own
and it is great thing. Straighten
yourselves up, especially when in
uniform, and show the soldiers when
they come that they haven't much

happy-make others happy. Culti-
vate the smile that won't come off,

Did L hear someone ask, what are
the chances for a good year? Well,
I'll tell you,- 1 don't believe so many
chances to do big, good turns are
going to come our way as last year,
for the war is over. But 1 know
this much, If we don't get asked 10
do things, We'll invite ourselves into
every game that comes up. Scouts
have to be -busy-it's part of their
nature, and we have shown in the
past that we are not slackers.
What About New Troops?
The prospects are very fine. There
are number of churches that are
preparing to organize troops, and
now that the soldiers are coming
back, We will not have so much
trouble to find good scoutmasters.
