Merry Makers Did Not
 Buy Weinies As Hoped

In last weeks report there were no details of the weinie roast at Edge wood park. I will attempt to give you some account of the venture. First of all, it was not success from a financial standpoint. At about [ o'clock on Wednesday night the bunch arrived and proceeded to get things in shape. At o'clock the people be- gan arriving. but very few bought in spite of our efforts to sell. When II o'clock had come the bunch was both tired and discouraged, so we left soon after, but not until we had made an honest effort. The weinies were given by Morris and company and the Ar mour Packing company. The rolls were bought at half price from Mo Coughs bakery.

in Bob Davis refrigerator and paid Troop 57 a weinie roast we owed them. Everyone seemed satisfied, and when the deal is looked at in the proper way. we find that we lost nothing at all.
 The boxing match did not give us very large returns. although we didn't lose anything. We had $s to pay for posters and tickets, so that made things smaller than we had antici- pated.
 off to Woods
 There was no elathrate meeting Friday night. The bulletin was read and a few formalities gone through. Then the bunch went to the woods with the weinies.
 A trip to camp is on the program for the near future. Tho minstreai show was called off for several req sons.

Why They Fell Out

The elevator boy in the hotel was great friend of Tommy's and often gave him a ride; but a time came when they ceased to love each other.
 What's the matter with you and the elevator boy, Tommy?" asked his father. Don't you speak any more?''
 No" said Tommy. He put me out of the elevator last night"
 "Why?'
 Because I punched him
 Well. wasn't he right to do it?''
 Maybe SOL said Tommy. but he needn't have put me out on the tenth floor and made me walk down. Exchange.

Winter Trees
By ANNA VIRGINIA MITCHELL

By ANNA VIRGINIA MITCHELL The naked trees which shiver in the blast Were once the pillars--of a leafy hall, But now they muse on happy sum mers past And in their dreams miss not the wild birds call, Like tall, weird ghosts who from tradition spring, They stand beneath the winter moons wan light. And in their loneliness they seem to sing Faint, crooning luilabies through out the night.

Be Hopeful
Contributed by WARRICk SAUNDERS

Be hopeful, friends, when clouds are
 dark.
 And days are gloomy. dreary; Be hopeful even when the heart
 Is Sick and sad and weary. Be hopeful when it seems your plans Are all opposed and thrwarted; Go not upon life's battlefield
 Despondent and faint-hearted And friends, be hopeful of yourself Do by-gone follies haunt you? Forget them and begin afresh.
 And let no interest daunt you. Though unimportant your career
 May seem, as you begin it. Press on, for victory's ahead:
 Be hopeful friends. and win iti

rightful owner. In 1915 Potter moved to Woodlawn and was transferred to Troop IT. He remained in that troop until 1t went to pieces, and has not been in scout work since. I can say this much for Harry Potter: He has nerve. I was on a picnic one day when he was with the crowd. A girl was~in swimming and suddenly lost her strength. Potter was the first to start for her. He never reached her, however. as other boys in bath- ing suits got her out. Potter's clothes were too heavy. Had he gone out in that deep water he would have had the same trouble as this girl Potter says that he cannot find time for scout work, but by proper encourage ment, I hope we can get him back. Any scout who knows him please help me along with him. We need boys such as Potter is and I feel sure ha will soon be back with us.

However, any stocks pur- chased now should be selected with great discrimination, only after care full study and consultation. Statis- tics, however, clearly indicate that we are still in a bull market and the break of the past few weeks was only a natural action in general upward movement which will not culminate for some months yet"

RAILROADS CANNOT AGREE

The railroad executives so far are not able to agree with President Harding's strike settlement proposal in respect of a feature it contains, involving what must be for them in escapably a cardinal moral issue. In the last analysis they might, not be able to agree with the proposal as a whole if that feature were to be held inseparable from the general pro- posal. .--
 This moral issue is the binding obligation into which the executives have entered with the men, old and new, now standing by the roads. These men are there, sticking it out, old men and new men, under the solemn pledges of the employers that they would not lose their places. would not lose their first seniority rights, would not lose any of the privileges and benefits acquired by them and guaranteed to them, strike settlement or no strike settlement.
 In so far as his moral issue, this sacred obligation of the roads to their faithful, loyal men now at their posts and keeping the railroads in operation in the teeth of the efforts of the strikers to tie them up, is a determining factor-in so far as this might cause the executives definitely and finally to disagree with the Presidents proposal, President liar ding himself could only respect and honor them for their stand.
 The American people would not merely respect and honor the cail- road executives for that stand in be- half of fulfilling their obligation to the loyal men and in respect of stripping them of nothing that was pledged to them; the American peo; pie would back them up in that stand to the limit.-N. Y. Herald.

Cheese e


 On wintry nights and rainy days often sit beside the blaze and Han nah, while toast my shins, will read to me some bulletins. Among in structive college prints, there's none more full of helpful hints than that which tells us forty ways to use the cheeses and the wheys, each one of which deserves our praise. Before l heard that treatise wise I filled my self with meat and pies, with four boiled eggs and things like these, and then l ate hunk of cheese. 1 had the stomachache all night, and nightmares came my soul to fright l tossed about with grief and groans, while all the neighbors heard my means. From this good bulletin l learn, that when for cheese our bosoms yearn, we should not first take all that comes, then add the cheese to fulfilled tums but we should think of it as meat, and use discretion when we eat. For this my gratitude is deep I wisely dine, then sweetly sleep; no more I thrash around and weep. Instead of ghosts and specters grim, 1 dream of saints and seraphim. In loaf or casserole or rabbit, the use of cheese is now a habit. No book of poems brings me bliss to equal bulletins like this.
