WOOD HAS APLAN
 ID IMPROVE ARMY Provide a Short Entertain ment Term for All Col
 lege Graduaes

Washington, June 11.-(Special.)- General Leonard Wood believes he has solved the problem of giving the United States the best army In the world
 In brief the plan is to give all col lege graduates at least the rudiments of a military training by an actual en- listment in the army for a term of six months or a year after graduation.
 The scheme is merely tentative as yet and whether the enlistment of the college men should be compulsory, by an act of legislation or by an act of their own free will has not been de- cided.
 The ages of these young soldiers ranged from IA to IS years, the major ity of them being nearer IA than IS. The services they rendered to General Robert E. Lee and the Host cause" in Virginia forms one of the bright paS $ of the history of civil war. General Woods idea is to have every young man as he graduates from col | lege enlist in the regular army under a special enlistment for six months or year, the choice of the period to be left to the recruit. These young men are to have their own organization with the exception of the officiers. Their ser vices and discipline will be the same as those of the regular troops and will be in field. They will be given close and open drills, camping and field w9k and a. full season of target range work with the regular militia.
 Every young man graduating from college would enlist in the regular army for six months, and spend the time in the field, in Is years the United States could send several hundred thousand experienced soldiers into ser vice if the need should arise" said Gen oral Wood today. Such enlistment by the college men would help him. the O rp,v and the nation"

MYSTERIOUS BURNS
 SAILS FOR EUROPE
Refuses to Discuss His Mis- siOn-Sure of McNa-
 mara's Conviction

New York, June ,11.--fSpecial) With an air of great mystery William J. Burns. the detective who ran down the ton with the Los Angeles dynamite outrages sailed for Europe on the American liner Philadelphia today.
 The determination of Mir. Burns to take the trip was very sudden, the men in his own office knowing nothing of 1t until this morning
 There were several theories current most generally accepted is that he is going after some of those implicated in the blowing up 0 fthe Los Angeles Times building and the other dynamite explosions alleged to have been the work of the McNamara- Ma cManigal gang.
 He was absolutely silent as to his mission, however.
 When asked about it he held up his hands with the ejaculation:
 T am not saying anything"
 Where are you going?"
 ITO London and Paris. I expect to De gone about three weeks; at least, l don't want to be away any more than that, because I have some business here that I must come back to-
 Asked if he were going to the cor onation to protect the King from an- archists. he replied he could not dis cuss his trip.
 Are you going to be a sort of a per sonal body guard for King George V?'
 No, mo-" he replied. Nothing in it.
 He said he was hopeful the two Mo- Namaras and MacManigal would be convicted in the Los Angeles dynamite cases, predicted that the Indianapolis Kidnapping charges against himself would fail and was sure that some men implicated in the Ohio bribery cases would go to jail.
 We have them in Ohio and we are going to send them up," he declared

Need Rain Badly

Jackson, Miss, June 11.-(Special.)- From every direction come complaints that rain is badly needed, especially on corn, and that if there is not good "soaker'' in the next 10 days the corn crop in the southwestern part of the state will be a failure. That is in the boil weevil section, where corn has been made the chief crop this year with every farmer, and a failure would prove a double calamity, as many of them have almost entirely abandoned cotton. Other wise reports are good. Crops are clean and cotton looks better than ever before known at this season of the year.

IS BETTER

A barber shop is the place to go,
When you are running to and fro.
Your hair is long and your whiskers,
too,
From letting them grow the winter
through.
Step right in and get in chair,
Twenty-Five cents will cut your hair.
If you think you don't look just right,
Get shave and neck shave out of
sight.
A nice massage on the face is good,
The price is 25c which is understood.
A tonic on the hair will stop it from
falling,
And if you come once you'll never
quit calling.
The next thing is to wash your hair,
Which must be done you know with
care;
To get scalp clean and nice,
TWENTY-FIVE cents will be the price.
When we give bad shave there'll be
no muss,
Don't tell others, come and tell us.
We have some razors full of hicks and
rust
To shave the fellows who ask for
trust.
When you are in town don't forget to
stop,
We are in the New Barber Shop.

DAVID ELLINGTON.
