Ny Grandpa

m mi RIO VIZ letaoshrdleueu
Grandpa is the incest old man,
He tries to please me in every way
he can.
When l go to visit my Aunt Lenore,
Grandpa meets me at the kitchen
door.
Mamma said that she was told,
That grandpa's getting very old:
But | don't care at all for that,
For he and have it Tit for tat"
Grandpa's house is SO very queer,
There's a rocking chair there, and
a rocking chair here;
And the old fireplace, always so
bright, 49,.
So when it is dark it makes enough
light.
He hasn't any lamps at all; ~.. .
He has little things about so tall,
| think it's called candles" or
something like that
1t burns, and it's round and it's
tall and it's fat.
The other day my grandpa died,
And mamma she just more than
cried.
l asked her what she was crying
for,
Then she dropped her eyes and
looked at the floor.
Now when I go to Aunt IGNORES
He never meets me at the door.
They never talk of him much more,
And still / ask for him Ger and Ger.
But guess my grandpa is gone for
sure.
It's almost more than I can endure.
But sometime hope to meet him at
the door.
Once more as ! did at Aunt Lee
nore's.

Tue Ways To Get Up

When you tumble out Of the right
side OF bed,
How bright the sun shines over
head!
How good our breakfast tastes, and
oh,
How happy to school we go!
And DER the day what peace is
shed,
When we tumble out Of the right
side of bed!
When we tumble out OF the wrong
side of bed,
How dark the sky frowns overhead!
How dull our lessons, cross our
mother!
How perfectly horrid is sister and
brother!
And they all say it's our fault
instead,
When we tumble out of the wrong
side Of bed.

The Hungry Dog

Once upon a time there was a
boy and his dog was going to town
to sell some milk
With the money he was going to
buy pair Of ice skates and a ball
and bat.
AS he was walking along he grew
tired SO he laid down to rest. As
he was lying there, the dog, grow
ing hungry, drank the boys milk.
When the boy woke up he found
the milk and the dog gone. The
boy went home and found the dog
there. He did not get to buy what
he had planned to buy.

Boy Scouts Made Good in War, Seek Members

NEW YORK, June THE many
and varied activities Of the Boy
Scouts during the war have serious
ly interfered with the routine of
the order but new Scouts. have been
admitted to an extent which has
doubled it's membership since the
spring of 1917. The main trouble is
that there has developed a dearth
of -scoutmasters and commit
teemen-because so large a number
went into the army or the navy. 1t
takes one man for every eight boys
in the organization. Four patrols
of eight boys each make up troop
of Scouts, and each troop has it's
scoutmaster and three committee
men as well as an assistant scout
master, often graduate of the
troop.
Thousands of Scouts enlisted in
the war, and many more Scout
trained boys were called to the

New York City Scout, has been

since November IL. Fifteen or
twenty men left the national cGfces
of the organization in New York
for the front, among them the
nephew of Dan Beard, who is main

the Boy Scouts of America. The
record of a single troop in Wal

Bow Scout Week

Scouting, especially as it refers
to Boy Scout Work, will be talked
about all over the United States
during the week, June 8-15. That
week has been set apart by the
Executive committee of the Boy
Scouts as Boy Scout Week In
many places pageants and parades
will be given and exhibitions of
Scoutcraft Many ministers are
planning to speak of the splendid
ideals and "all round" life for which
the Boy Scout organization stands
on Sunday morning, June 8.
Because most Of the Richmond
Boy Scout troops are but recently
developed, there will not be very
much observation OF this week in
Richmond. In the Childrens' Day
programs in many of the Sunday
schools, Scouting will, however,
have a place, SO that the week will
not pass entirely unobserved. Next
year, If the local development Of
Scout Troops keeps up the way 1t
has started, we hope to see suit
able celebration of this Boy Scout
week. .... ...a

General hospital No. l. In York,
Penn, they set up tents to serve as
temporary hospitals, in which they
were orderlies and aids, and when
off duty distributed thousands Of
pieces Of literature tellin how to
combat the disease.
What the Scouts did after the
munition explosion at Morgan, N.
j., has become classic in the or
gani2ation. They mobilized at once,
carrying cots, running errands, es-
corting refugees, serving food and
even cooking it, guarding destitute
families, and caring for babies.
Aid in Earthquake.
During the Porto Rican earth
quake Scouts not only rendered
first aid, but gave funds saved for
their own outings for relief of suf-
ferers Scouts were the regular
guards at McCook flying field at
Dayton, while our air program was
being carried out. In Philadelphia
they took charge of extinguishing
all gas lights, to avoid waste, at
the request of the fuel administra-
ton.
This is all volunteer work.
Where/a Scout does work of a sort
which somebody would ordinarily
be paid for, he is permitted to take
pay, but not in connection with his
good turns" The whole organiza-
ton is on volunteer basis. 1t has
now more than 100000 boys and
100000 men on its membership
rolls. Only about 800 of them are
paid, and most of these are con-
nected with the national headquar-

largely increased by the drive be-
ginning on June s. There are TO-

Little Mans Decoration Day

The wide gates swung open,
The music softly sounded,
And loving hands were heaping the
soldiers graves with flowers;
With pansies, pinks and roses,
And pure gold-hearted lilies,
The fairest, sweetest blossoms that
grace the springtime bowers.
When down the walk came tripping
A wee, bare-headed grille,
Her eyes were filed with wonder,
her face was grave and sweet:
Her small brown hands were
Crowded with dandelions yellow
The gallant, merry blossoms that
children love to greet.
Oh, many smiled to see her,
That dimple-cheeked wee baby,
Pass by with quaint intentness, as
on mission bound:
And pausing oft an instant,
Let fall from out her treasures
A yellow dandelion upon each flow
er strewn mound.
The music died in silence,
A robin ceased its singing,
And in the fragrant stiffness, a
birdlike whisper grew,
So sweet, SO clear and solemn,
That smiles gave place to tear
drops:
Nan loves 90, darlin' soldier; and
here's a f'wer for 90"

reviewed commissions. Three be-
came ensigns in the navy, and two
received lieutenants' commissions.
Five of these boys were decorated
for distinguished service on French
battlefields. One died in canton
ment and two fell in action.
The boys of the organization
were doing their part at home,
while their older comrades fought
in France. In the five Liberty loan
campaigns they sold about $780,
600, 900 in bonds to nearly two and
half million subscribers. More
than 100000 of the boys earned the
treasury department medal for at
least ten individual subscriptions
Two months ago the Scouts passed
the $50,000,000 mark In sales Of war
savings stamps.

Don't Care

Girls and boys, ! wish to tell you
OF the foe you entertain.
! have seen him with you often,
And the fact has caused me pain.
For he only seeks the ruin
OF your life so young and fair.
He's a foe, cruel, sly and cunning,
And his name is Il don't Care"
He'll plant within you,
The true spirit Of his name,
And then he'll disappear like magic,
Leaving you to bear the shame.

Lone And Faith

can never forget the story that
was told to me SO am going to
tell 1t to you.
Once upon time in Rhode Island
there lived family whose name
was Williams. This family had
just came over from England.
They had two children, one was
Love and the other was Faith. Now
Love got her name by being loving
and kind to every one. Faith got
her name by being faithful to PEG
pie.
Now the reason that this family
came over here was to find happi-
ness. They had every thing they
wanted in England, but weren't
happy. The wanted to go where
they would be happy.
The first day when they came
over was a hard day. There was
no place for them to stay and that
night they made them bed of
leaves and branches and then put a
blanket over the leaves and branch
es. This made them good bed
for the night, AS it was in the
summer time and not very cold out
Of doors.
The next day they built log
cabin. And made some benches
and table which were poorly
made, but they would do till they
could make some better ones.
The next day when Love and
Faith woke UP the sun was shin
ming, And what time they could
have that day. Their mother was
cooking some muEh over the fire
place in large kettle and plenty
of it, for that would be all that they
would have for their meals as Mrs.
Williams didn't have time to stop
and cook that day because she
would be too busy with other
things.
AS soon as Love and Faith were
through eating their breakfast they
went out of doors and such time
as they had. There was little
creek just back of the cabin, and
Love and Faith took off their shoes
and stockings and went in wading.
After they were tired of wading
they played hide and seek which
they thought was very much fun.
After they were tired Of playing
they went into the house and what
a change! Mr., Williams had made
some little benches for Love and
Faith which were very pretty. He
had made another table which was
pretty too. Mrs. Williams had put
up some clean white curtains at
the window. Their beds were
boards nailed to the side of the
cabin. Mrs. Williams had just put
some nice clean spreads on the
beds and Love and Faith could
hardly keep off of them they looked
so comfortable and nice. There
was a fire in the fireplace SO Love !
and Faith sat down to wait till
lunch time. 1t wasn't very long
till Mrs. Williams came in to warm |
up the mush for lunch as it was |
six O'Clock and 1t would soon be |
time for bed. .....
At last Mr.. Williams came In and !
very hungry. When supper was
over Love and Faith washed the
dishes and by that time it was time
for bed. So this was the end of
the day. And very happy one
too. s..

ED OFFICIALS.

Paris.-England, France and Bel
gium are preparing lists of hundreds
Of German army officers, whom they
will ask OF be extradited and tried
for committing crimes against recog-
Eized rules of war
The English navy has made up lists
OF the submarine commanders who
torpedoed merchantmen and hospital
ships at sea and in English ports.
The English will also demand GER
tain Zeppelin and afrplane pilots who
bombed London.
France will demand numerous Ger
man aviators who piloted Gothas
over Paris and bombed the city last
year.
The French also will demand extra
oition and trial Of those responsible
for the long range bombardment OF
Paris by big Berthas."
1t is believed those guilty may IN
clude the leading Krupp engineers
who manufactured the cannon, as
well as the artillery officer who fired
the pieces.
Belgium wants the German officers
who acted as town mayors In the ot.
cupied zone during.tie war, and were
responsible for the deportations and
cruelties.
All will join in demanding justice
against the German doctors who let
prisoners die without attention, and
against the cruel German guards who
mistreated prisoners of war.
1t is reported hat the, United
States will not demand that any Ger.
mans be brought to justice, although
America must join the allies in de-

Secretary Tumulty also declined to
talk Of the report, stating that any
thing concerning the presidents i'll

Just before DR.. Grayson had been

Notwithstanding official silence on
