BOY SCOUTS
Enjoyed II Happy Week in Camp at
Patterns Pond.
(By One of the Boys.)

(By One of the Boys.)
The Ellsworth Boy Scouts enjoyed
their first camping trip at Patterns
pond July 81 to August 5. Twenty
five members accompanied Scout
Master Brookes. H. c. Austin &
! Co., l.. w. Jordan, Noyes Motor Co..
Mr.. Brookes and Justin Henry kind
ly provided transportation to camp
free of charge.
On arrival, seven tents were erect
ed. These were occupied as follows:
No. /, Donald Jordan, Clarence Spill
lane, Justin Henry. No. 2, Thomas
Holmes, Merle Cronkhite, Robert
Chase. No. 3, Wendell Hig-
gins, Earle Higgins, John Dillon.
No. 4, Ernest Carter, Shirley Povich,
Eden Lunt, Otis Lunt, John Haynes,
Harvard Haynes. No. S, Newell
Haynes, Stanley Corners. No. g.,
Donald Royal, Burton Austin, Chand-
Ter Richmond. No. Z, Henry Bart
lett, Kenneth Wiley, Victor Camp
bell, George Jude, Robert Colt.
Reuel Bartlett generously allowed
the Scouts the use Of his camp for
cooking and social purposes. Per-
feet weather prevailed all the week.
Fishing, swimming, boating, base
ball games, horseshoe pitching, tug
of-war, wrestling, hiking, exploring
and singing, were immensely en-
joyed.
The first night in camp was a
holy terror Each tent tried to
produce the loudest noise. This was
renewed at 3.45 Tuesday morning,
and one distinguished camper in
nearby camp, with tears in his eyes,
that the Scouts had
ruined his vacation. AS punish
ment for this, breakfast was delayed
for one hour.
Few offenses were committed, and
none was repeated. Two boys, with
their eyes closed, failed to see a GER
tain sign, and walked into a private
blueberry patch. few Scouts lost
their hearing when the call came to
carry water, but it. was quickly re-
stored at the call of the bugle for
eats" Some disobeyed the rules
pertaining to the hours of swimming
and boating.
Thursday night was initiation
night, and the procession of torches,
riding of the goat. victrola music,
he stories told by the boys, made a
happy time.
The whole weeks enjoyment cost
he boys the small sum of $3.50
each, and was one of the happiest
of their lives.

Many are not being benefited by the
summer vacation as they should be.
Notstanding much outdoor life they
are little if any stronger now than
they were. The tan on their faces is
darker and makes them look healthier
but 1t is only a mask. They are still
nervous. easily tired, upset by tribes,
and they do not eat or sleep We'll
What they need is what tones the
nerves, perfects digestion. creates an
appetite, and makes sleep refreshing.
In other words they should take
Hoods Sarsaparilla. Pupils, teachers.
and others generally will find the chief
purpose of the vacation best subserved
by this great medicine which builds
up the whole system"

faction. 1t is difficult to conceive of
anything better for biliousness or con-
stipation.--Advt.

The seniority question, which has
become the main issue in the strike
of the railroad shop men, is not a
simple question of taking back strik-
ers. The whole issue between CAPT
tai and organized labor is involved in
ft-the principle of collective bar
gaining and the open shop. The rail
road executives have been filing the
places of strikers with men to whom
they promised seniority rights. The
strikers know that something like
sixty to seventy per cent. of The
places have been filed The strikers
know that unless they are reinstated
with seniority rights, many of them
will lose their jobs; if the strikers
are granted seniority, the new men
will be the ones to go. That is the
whole issue in nutshell. Public
sympathy has never been with the
shop men in this strike. So long as
railroad wages were revised upward
by the railroad labor board. the
board was in great favor with the
railroad workers, but when wages
we're revised downward the shop
men struck. Now they say they will
abide by the decisions of the railroad
board in the future, but it needs
Something more than the past record
to convince the public that they will.

The people of Ellsworth must
awake at once to the seriousness of
the fuel situation 1t is not ques-
ton of being compelled to pay high
price for next winters coal, for the
coal administration will guard the
public against protteering, but it
looks very much as if there would be
no coal at any price. The dealers
say. no hard coal at all. Ellsworth,
therefore, must rely upon wood as
fuel next winter. The normal de-
mand for a winters hard coal in
Ellsworth is $500 tons. Estimating
two cords of wood as equivalent in
heating qualities to one ton of coal,
4, will be seen that approximately
5000 cords of wood beyond normal
supply will be necessary to supply
the people of Ellsworth next winter.
Mayor Foster has been made a mem
her of the advisory board of the State
fuel administration, and the ELS
worth board of trade is also coop
Grating, and will appoint local
committee on fuel Every owner OF
woodland is urged to cut much more
wood than usual, in anticipation OF
next winters demand, The commit
zee from the board of trade will
doubtless make a definite estimate
of the amount of wood that Will be
required, and a survey of the availa-
BILE supply This should be followed
up by a wood-cutting campaign, to
arouse owners of woodland to the
needs of the community, and enlist
their cooperation. The people OF
Ellsworth are not going to freeze to
death next winter, and they are go
ing TO find means to cook their food,
but there is undoubtedly going to
be a great deal of inconvenience.
The wise man should provide now for
next winters fuel needs, The coal
dealers say we might as well aban-
don hope of getting hard coal.
