BILL FOR TRAINED
CITIZENRY FAVORED
House Military Affairs Commit
tee Report Argues Against
Big Standing Army.
Prom The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Jan. 26.-The opposition
Of the House Committee on Military
Affairs to large standing army is
voiced in report filed to-day on the
Mcclellan bill proposing government
aid 10 state institutions OF military
training and the creation of an army
reserve. The report on the bill says
that "the committee Is of the opinion
that we DO not need large standing
army in this country, but we do need
al al times 10 have a large body OF
our young men well trained and edu-
Gated" Secretary Garrison has ap-
proved the Mcclellan bill. The report
says:
Educate and train $500 boys & year,
a provided for in this bill, graduating
100 in each state in the Union a year,
and in a few years such would be the
military spirit created in all parts OF
the country that a call for volunteers
in times Of trouble would easily bring
forth million men. The bill Will. IN
the opinion Of your committee, perform
three great services:
ct will thoroughly educate and
graduate ( 500 boys a year. the most of
whom would probably not otherwise
receive cOleg education.
within the seven years contract pc
Rod there would be created a reserve
of $500 of the best trained men in
this country or any other country, who
could be lawfully required 20 respond,
and who would respond instantly. to
call TO arms by their country IN case
OF necessity.
at would infuse a military spirit in
our young men throughout the country
not one that would be harmful like
the spirit that would arise from the
establishment Of large standing army
or other paid reserves. but one that
would be helpful in that our people
would know what our country could re-
ly upon in the event OF trouble. With
in seven years under this bill, after all
of the institutions are IN operation.
there will be reserve Of $4,000 young
men between the ages Of twenty and
thirty years. who would be under a con-
tract with the government for a most
valuable consideration-that is, their
education and maintenance during their
entire college course-to serve in the
army whenever called upon"

HOSPITAL
Assured CeIina by Purchase OF
Fine Site on East Market
Street by DIR. Otis.

DR.. l.. M. Otis has purchased the
Charles Carlin property on East Mar
ket street for the purpose of provid-
ing Celina and Mercer County with
an up-to-date hospital.
Celina has long felt the need of an
institute of this kind. All our neigh
boring counties and towns have al
ready been provided with hospitals
in some manner or other, and DR.,
Otis is certainly to be commended for
this step.
The site chosen by DR.. Otis is q
beautiful place. The building will
be remodeled and completely equip
ped in the most up-to-date manner
for hospital purposes. An experience
ed trained nurse will be kept at the
hospital at all times.
The hospital will be open to the
general public, and Celina will have
a place where accident cases and sur
gical work of all kinds can be per-
formed without delay.
The doctor is going forward on his
own responsibility, and has not ask
ed the city or public to contribute
financially to the new institution.
DR.. Otis having had charge Of the
various departments of the Michigan
State Hospitals for several years pri-
or to coming to Celina, is thoroughly
familiar with hospital work and as
sures the public the best of service.
Every citizen should cooperate
with DR. Otis in this movement and
make it a success. The Hospital will
be known as the "Otis Hospital. -

Man Paints CeIina Deep Bright
Color, Alright, AIrighty
Must Have Enjoyed Reservoir
Water, Little Fishes, Hut Mis-
takes Rodent for Squirrels.

[Beyers, in Upton Daily Times ]
Any person who has been think
ing of taking a little vacation trip
where rest and recreation are hap
PLY combined, without the tiresomC
railroad travel and expense reduced
to minimum, is overlooking a bet
If he makes such a journey without
considering the advantages that the
little city Of Celina, the county seat
of Mercer county, Ohio. has to offer.
The time was when the Lake Erie
and Western railroad exploited the
Grand Reservoir and run excursions
in the summer time, with low rates
to fishermen. OF late years the rail
road has not been boosting Celina,
POSSIBLY because George Dwyer, the
division superintendent, who is To-
Gated over in an eastern suberb, is
afraid that It will get ahead of his
town
The reservoir is one of the largest
inland bodies of water in the coun-
try, and IL offers the variety of fea-
lures which are to be enjoyed at
small lakes and more. 1t is some
nine miles long and nearly five miles
across to the little town of Monte
yuma. Along the west side is a re-
tanning wall. on the top of which is
cement driveway,50 feet in width,
and extending for several miles.
The body of water covers 1880
acres and varies in depth. 1t is fed
from bitches north and south and
some small streams, among them a
pretty little waterway called Cold
water Creek. The reservoir supplies
the water for a canal to Cincinnati
and before the time of railroad traf-
hc this canal was sometimes Of i'm
portance to the territory through
which it was constructed. The big
body of water goes on a rampage
sometimes and to prevent damage
there are two waste weirs construct
ed which divert the contents into
and prevent an over
flow of the city. These occurrences
are very rare and there IS no doubt
that this rainy season the storage Of
the water saved crops in many low
districts.
In its waters are all varieties of
fish and it is a poor disciple of Isaak
Walton who does not bring in a days
catch. Fishing is not as good as it
formerly was, the old timer will tell
you, for commercialism put the jinx
in it, when some enterprising parties
decided to drill an oil well in the
center Of the big pond. The oil well
proved to be a gusher, and an offer
of $4,000 was made for IL and re-
fused other wells were drilled as
fast as the rigs could be put up but
there never was a second good one.
They were dry holes and thousands
Of dollars were sunk in the bottom
Of the reservoir. To the escaping oil
and the shooting of wells is attrib-
lted the determination of many of
