CHILDREN RECEIVE FRENCH FLAGS FOR DONATIONS Every boy or girl who gives a donation, no matter how small, to the Palladium fund for help
ing French children, will receive a French flag on a pin, which they can wear to show their sym
pathy for their French friends. These flags are at the Palladium office now, and are being distributed to those who are donating towards Odette and her brothers. On one side of the flag is printed, "Journee fle l'orphelinat des Armees" in letters of gold, and on the other -side is the seal for the French orphans. The Palladium fund is kept so that those who cannot afford to pay the wholo $36.50 to adopt a child themselves, can have the pleasure of knowing the who receives the money, and read the letters which she writes in return.
Boy Scouts Are Off for Camp Twelve members of the Boy Scouts of Troop 2 were scheduled
to start off on their hiking trip down to the summer camp, this morning at 8 o'ciock. They
were to start mobilizing at 7, so that they would be sure to get a good start on the hike. Two of the boys will take turns about pulling the trak cart and their whole vacation will be a grand combination of what usually would be called work, mixed up with a whole lot of fun. . The other ten scouts which will make up the whole party, cannot leave before evening, but will Join the others near . Cambridge . City, where they are expecting to spend the night
Star-Spangled, Banner Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there. Oh. say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. On the shore dimly seen thro'he mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes. What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream: 'Tis the star-spangled banner; oh, long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Oh, thus be it ever when free men shall stand Between their -loved home and wild war's desolation; Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must, When our cause it is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust!" And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
ALL ABOARD FOR CAMP Anyone wishing to see a group of perfectly happy boys should
plan to be down at the Y. M. C. A. next Wednesday to see the boys start down to their sum
mer camp. Although camp is only going to last ten days, it is to be filled chuck full of fun every minute of the day, and night. Ping pong, checkers, magazines, volly ball, basket ball, baseball, track meets and snipe hunts are some of the main things on the program. Besides this there is the river always waiting to supply plenty of fish, minnows included, and cooling dips on hot days. And when the boys feel those gently tender pains urging . them towards the dining tent, they will find all sorts of steaming hot goodtasting things awaiting them, because the shef Is to be the well tried and seasoned expert formerly employed in hotels and on steamships, and who is pronounced by Mr. Williams to be X-cellent. There will be six tents in the camp, besides the cook tent and dining shack, and the thirty-five boys will be duly chaperoned by Mr. Schwan, who is to administer the castor oil and talcum powder for all first aid calls, Mr. Williams who promises to help pull on all fish which are too large to be handled by one boy, Mr. Brammer who will spend his time scouting the scouts, and Byron Wilson and Paul Hayward of the Hi-Y club who will do all that the others leave undone. So the only thing left for the Richmond publicat-large to do is say, "Bon Voyage," and hope that they all may return to tell the tale.
present, the boys were afraid they would have to go by way of Greensfork, but now they llnd that they can make a short detour of only two miles, ifhd save twelve. The hike last Sunday was rather uneventful compared with some of the Sunday excursions were peevish bulls cause lively movements every once in a while. But on the whole the boys report an afternoon well spent.
SCOUTS SAVE TWELVE MILES ON HIKE By taking a hike out the National-Road last Sunday the boy
scouts of Troop 2 found that they could save twelve miles on their walking trip down to
the Y. M..C, -A. -summer camp. Since the. National road is being made over, and is so -torn up at
bridge.
SOME FISH! James Lacy and my brother, Lawrence and I went fishing last
Wednesday. We went out Twelfth street to the iron bridge and then went on to the concrete A man in an auto took us
from the iron bridge to the con
crete bridge. When we . got there we went down and fished till about 10 o'clock, then we went down the stream and came back about 12 o'clock and ate our dinner. Then we went back down the stream for about a quarter of a mile. And pretty soon Lawrence had a bite and in about 10 minutes had a fish about a foot and 3 Inchest over. We fished until it began to rain, then we walked until it began raining too Lard. T!.e drops must have been an inc'i thick. When we got where the road comes from the Garr bridge a man took us home. I swallowed six bonesand my sister got one caught in her throat, but that fish was might good, anyhow. John Lady.
James Coe Gives Show Money to French After a very successful circus in his barn, James Coe donated his
portion of the proceeds to the Junior fund for the French war orphans. The net profits amount
ed to 36 cents and this was divided among the star performers, but James put all of his gains into the fund, and so received the little French flag which he will wear to show his loyalty to the allies.

The scouts will hold their meetings once a week, but the definite day has not been decided.
