An Appreciation.
We thank the Christians, one and all,
For Doctor Hardison’s recall!
There is no one to take his place
With us Boy Scouts He sets the pace.
A Scoutmaster both tried and true,
If he were gone what would we do ?
We fear .that we would soon disband
And scatter out on every hand;
With nought to do and nought to learn
To mischief we would surely turn.
Old Satan watches idle boys
And tells them that there are no joys
Except the ones that he puts out,
For he Is always on the scout.
We thank the people who have said,
“Tis wonderful how he has led
Those boys! It is our firm belief
That but for him they’d come to
grief.”
And so we should, they’d soon find out
If we shou]d lose our <‘good old
Scout.”

| Mildred Lee Chapter U. D. C.
j After the warmest, driest and to
some of us, the most trying summer
of our long lives, the fall season is
here with cooler weather and the first
| meeting of the U. D. C.
j Chapter met with Mrs. Guthrie, our
: president. Called to order and the
Lord’s prayer repeated in concert.
! Mrs. Williamson led in the reading of
j the ritual. Minutes of June meeting
! read and approved; disposed of let-
j ters and business which had accumu-
lated during the vacation.
By a vote of the Chapter it was de-
I cided not to send a delegate to the
annual meeting to be held in San
Antonio, as there is to be a one-day
session only.
The lesson was the Memorial of
Caroline Goodlet, the founder of the
U. D. C., which proved to be unusual
ly interesting and instructive as it
had been well prepared.
During the social hour, our hostess,
assisted by her daughter, served cake
and cream, all of the ladies begging
for the recipe.
The next meeting will be with Mrs.
Mackey. Reporter.

Boy Scout Band.
Our boys are in need of funds with
which to pay their band and tuition
debts and also to furnish themselves
with some very much needed mater-
ial.
There are some of our boys who
have not been able to pay tuition,
while there are others who have been
able to pay only a small part. This
makes a hardship on Scoutmaster
Hardison that should not be upon
him.
All will admit the readiness of our
boys to play for,, any patriotic affair
without charge as they have done fre-
quently. All will also agree that a
brass band of this kind is a great as
set to any city. For these and other
reasons, making it profitable to both
boys and their people; and further
as they are becoming more and more
proficient, we, the committee selected
by the local council of the Boy Scouts
of America, ask for a free and liberal
offering for the purposes named
above. We ask that you leave your
offering at either bank or hand to H.
H. Hoffmann or the Scoutmaster.
