N< If you don't like your job; if your fu- ture isn't bright; if you have burning ambition to win increased pay, promo tion and success, read this advertise ment clear through. A bluejacket of U. s. battleship Missouri, has this to say of his experience in the navy: q have been in the navy about a year and half and I have seen more sights and foreign ports than many rich people who have travelled a good many more years and spent a great deal of money. We have just completed cruise around the Horn of 14,000 miles and we are now on the eve of another cruise of 2S,000 miles, completing the trip around the world. Our work in the navy is comparatively light; we only have to work about four hours day. We have splendid things to eat and lots of 1t. The treatment in the navy is as near like home, as it can be made to be. We have many entertainments on board such as moving pictures, minstrel shows, up-to-date boxing and many other interesting things. We also have baseball teams, football teams, basket teams and track teams. The athletic sports are greatly encouraged by the officials. l think the navy Is tho place for young fellow. The navy is healthy in every way, morally. mental ly and physically. One keeps good habits and sees some very educational things. There is also an opportunity for young man to make a start in life. You have no expenses to speak of and 1t Is not long before a bright and energetic fellow can increase his pay to $40 or $50 a month. He can easily put away $25 a month in our ships bank, which pays per cent in- terest. When my enlistment is up I shall do four more years. I do not want anything better than this.' Near ly every man in the navy will write a letter like this. Ask some of them how they like their jobs. The navy department wants men but doesn't urge any young man 10 join the navy. It only urges you to find out what the navy can do for you. Then you must decide as to joining. Will you refuse to investigate or will you talk 1t over with a recruiting officer7 You'n find him obliging and glad to tell you every thing. Should you decide not to en- list you will have done no harm.
