(By Floyd Maxey, a Scout) Oh, kaiser, kaiser, kaiser— The most hated man of today! Y ou clutch with the hand of a miser, The unfortunate countries say. Lut we’re sending over our sons To kill a few of your Huns, A nd before the war is finished Y’our armies shall be liminished 1 o a straggling, scattered few, As the Belgians were by you. Oh, kaiser, kaiser, kaiser! The last 1 have to say Is to loose that hand of a miser, And the folly you’ve done repay. Arthur Campbell, troop treasurer, sprung a surprise last week by pre senting a bank book on United States bank for $2.60. Now the boys say, “Watch it grow!” If you are not a scout you can be. Registration, 25 cents; Scout News, 15 cents per year; dues, 10 cents per month. We meet every Friday at Mount Moriah Baptist church at 7:30 p. m. Y'ou get spanked by the whole troop li you are late.

Brown ish red above, heavily streaked with black below. Range: Breeds from the gulf states to southern Canada and west to Col orado. Wyoming and Montana; win ters In the southern half of the east ern United States. Habits and economic status: The brown thrasher is more retiring than either the mocking bird or catbird, but like them is a splendid singer. Not infrequently, indeed, its song is taken for that of Its more famed cou sin, the mocking bird. It is partial to thickets and gets much of its food from the ground. Its search for this is usually accompanied by much scratching and scattering of leaves; whence its common name. Its call note is a sharp sound like the smack ing of lips, which is useful In identify ing this long-tailed, thicket-haunting bird, which does not much relish close scrutiny. The brown thrasher is not so fond of fruit as the catbird and mocker, but devours a much larger percentage of animal food. Beetles form one-half cf the animal food, grasshoppers and crickets one-fifth, caterpillars. Including cutworms, some what less than one-fifth, and bugs, spiders, and millipede comprise most of the remainder. The brown thrash er feeds on such coleopterous pests as wireworms, May beetles, rice weevils, rose beetles, and figeaters. By Its destruction of these and other In sects, which constitute more than 60 per cent of its food, the thrasher much more than compensates for that por tion (about one-tenth) of its diet de rived from cultivated crops. ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS REACH LARGE TOTAL. A general idea of the quantity of food sent to European allies by the United States from July 1, 1914, to January 1, 1918, Is given by figures Just announced by the U. S. Food Ad ministration. In that period ttje Unit ed States has furnished complete year ly rations for 57,100,933 people. In addition there was enough extra pro tein to supply this portion of the diet for 22.194,570 additional men. The total export of wheat and wheat flour to the three principal allies is equivalent to nbout 384.000,000 bushels. Pork exports for the 3% years amount ed to almost 2,000.000,000 pounds. Ex ports of fresh beef totaled 443,484,400 pounds. The amount of food exported to Russia Is negligible compnred wltb that sent to the western nllies. ******************** ★ * A ONLY AMERICA CAN HELP.
