THE LIGHT THAT NEVER FADES

Every residence in this town should be lighted by electricity, and every business house, work shop and professionl office should be similarly equipped.
 And we go a little further.
 Wires should be strung out to every farm house, and barn, and granary, and other outhouses, carrying the light that never fades.
 The day of the tallow candle has passed, and the lantern and the coal oil lamp should be on their way.
 Electricity today is more inex- pensive than the lamp or the candle, while it's effectiveness is increased a thousand fold.
 The way of the modern world is lighted with electric rays, and the community that refuses to become modernized soon slumb- CTS in the cobWebs of oblivion.
 Let's light up and stay lit.

RALSTON FAVORS
MILITARY CAMP
Agrees to Permit Members to
Use Uniforms While Train
ing at Culver.

Tentative plans for a citizen-sol-
dier camp at Culver military aca-
denny the last three weeks in October
are rapidly materialiZing SO that a
camp similar to the one conducted al
Plattsburg, y. Y, may be established.
This was learned Wednesday morn
ing, following a conference between
Claude Nicely of South Bend and
Capt. Gilnilliatt of Culver with Gov.
Samuel l. Ralston. in which the gov
ernOr outlined the assistance that
would be given by the Indiana ma
tiOnal guard and quartermaster gen.
eral.
Gov. Ra,ston said, however, that no
expense to the state must occur. The
use of uniforms for the three weeks
instruction and other material was
agreed upon.
The south Bend committee which
is boosting the project consists OF
Charles Arthur Carlisle. chairman,
John 3. Stoll, Potrick a. Joyce, Fred
Dennis and Claude Nicely. 1t is
hoped by the local committee that the
establishment of such a camp would
meet with a big response from bust
ness and professional men from all
parts OF the state. Assurances have
been made by the South Bend men
interested that this city would con-
tribute its share of men.
According TO the plan, apprOxi-
mately 800 men could be handled at
the camp. Capt. J. j. Toffey, instruc-
tor-insT ,ctOr of the Indiana national
guard and federal army officer. has
endorsed the plan. according TO Claude
Nicely The governor declared that
the question of the sanction by the
federal war department for the camp
had not been laid before him.
Indiana citizens who attended the
camp would be charged $25 each.
Nicely said wednesday morning. He
also intimated that the commandant
at Culver had endorsed the plan,
promising hNarty cooperation. Uni
forms and other accessories for the
Equipment of the citizen-sOldiery will
be supplied by the state and national
governments.
Should the establishment of the
camp be effected. instruction in mil
itary tactics and the work of fitting
the citizens for duty as soldiers will
be done by the senior cadets and army
and guard officers at Culver.
