Thursday at 7:15 registration records completed, scout record cards were filled out and a new and more efficient set of rules and regulations were or- ganized to take care of the order of business at meetings and the conduct of the troop in general. The troop is pushing the work at the gardens and results promise a good crop. The troop is organizing an orchestra to play for such dances or other soclal functions as the ‘troop will give in the future. Extensive plans are being || formed whereby the scouts ‘of this troop will have a camp at the shore during the late summer. Plans are being formed in such a manner that the camp will in no way effect the work at the gardens. Troop 8. On Friday nighf fifteen members of troop § the mobilisation call at Walnut Hill Park.

THEY'RE HERE, GOETHALS’ Potatoes Say “How Do” But Hoe-Men |- Are Needed. The first potatoes that were planted at the municipal farm have made their appearance and soon will need the attention of the hoe. The com- mittee in charge of the farm intimates that edrly next week the assistance of those who volunteered will be needed and they will be called upon. - The success 'of the project rests entirely upon _.the willingness of the volunteers and the weather and Chairman Tal- lard is much pleased with the success achieved thus far. If the volunteers show the same spirit to work that they displayed when they signed the agreement the “spuds” will not suffer in the least for the want of at- tention. “The chickens are being counted before they are hatched’ 'by the com- mittee which is busy taking steps to purchase spraying potato diggers in anticipation of a large crop. A great deal of attention will have to be paid to the ground when the weeds start to grow and weather permitting the knights of the soil will don their overhalls next week, RBEORUITING ARMY CHAPLAINS Pittsburgh, June 15.—A special committee of the Pittsburg Presby- tery, the largest unit of the Presb; terian church in the United States, is reeruiting a 'ge number of minis- ters to serve as chaplains in the army ocamps.
