and it presents opportunities

"HE United States navy n the
best paid navy in the world,
and it presents opportunities
4. for advancement equal to those
Of almost any profession. A man-o-
wars man never loses his job, even
temporarily, for lack Of work. He is al
ways sure of his pay, of three substan-
tial meals each day, Of clean, healthful
surroundings. His health is the primary
concern Of skillful staff Of physicians.
In time Of injury or Illness he receives
without cost the best medical and hos
pital attendance, and after thirty years
Of service he may retire on three-quar-
tiers Of his pay, assured Of never fail
ing income SO long as he lives.
Excepting the cost of his clothing,
after the first outfit, which is furnished
gratis, and deduction of 20 cents a
month for the hospital fund, man-o'-
wars mans pay is all 1velvet." He has
no board to pay, no rent and no doc
tors bills. Considering his steady work
and perQuisites, he is much better of
than the average mechanic or clerk con-
tending with losses through i'll health,
strikes, weather and business depres-
sions.
A recruit can readily see the posi-
ton and salary he may earn by ear
nest and intelligent effort From the
time he enters the training station he
receives useful instruction and encour
agement His advance can be meas
ured only by his diligence, behavior
and ability, for opportunities extend
over field offered by no other service.
Seamen are required to steer, man the
boats, the guns and turrets and do the
general work OF the ship outside of the
engine room; clerks, stenographers and
bookkeepers to handle records and &C.

CAPTAIN LAMONT LEAVES
Alma Salvation Army Head
and Wife to Go to
Holland.

After stay of four months Cap
tain Lamont of the local Salvation
Army Corps and his good wife left
Alma Tuesday to inaugurate the
Army work in Holland, Mich. They
have left Alma after four months of
most fruitful labor during which they
have become entrenched in the love
and respect of Alma people.
April the fifth, Captain and Mrs.
Lamont came to Alma from Mt.
Pleasant to inaugurate the work Of
the Salvation Army. Their work
was hard; it was Introductory, but in
a short period of time they won their
way into the hearts of Alma people.
With the assistance of his wife Cap
tain Lamont has held over one hun
dred meetings, led twenty six converts
to an acknowledgement of Jesus
Christ, raised three hundred thirty
nine dollars and seventeen cents for
Army work, maintained a place OF
service seating one hundred fifty peo-
pie, held meetings in Ithaca, St Louis
Riverdale and Alma and held as high
as sixteen meetings in one day. The
good work which he has done in an
indirect way can never be measured
The genuine and universal sorrow
expressed by over two hundred people
at the big farewell service held Sun
day evening in the Salvation Army
hall, was a true testimonial to the
high reverence in which Captain La
mont is held.
The work of the Army proper was
not undertaken until after the taber-
nacle revival services were completed
and in these meetings Captain La
mont and his wife did a great deal OF
effective work subordinating theil
own interests to those of the leaders
in the tabernacle work. At the out
set they were hampered great dea
by lack Of funds but Alma people re-
sponded to their appeals and amounts
which they accounted most liberal
were given to them for the Army:
work. They conducted open air meet
ings on Superior street usually neal
State street, every evening in the
week except two. These were fol
lowed by meetings in the Hall.
/ At the three outside towns they
were assisted in their work by be
tween eight and fourteen soldiers. The!
took printed matter with them ant
distributed it there The meetingi
were conducted in a manner similar
to that of the meetings in Alma. TIL,
collections which they received a
these places little more than paid tn,
expense of going there. All none.
which Captain Lamont has received
has been expended for the Army
work, equipment, rental etc. The.
went to Holland, penniless.
Captain Lamont goes to his large
field in Holland with the best wishe
of everyone in Alma. His work ha
been done we'll; and had he been givel
a little more time even larger result
would have been obtained. He will
be succeeded by Lieutenant Murdoch
of Big Rapids. The latter will be as
sisted by young man who has jus
graduated from the Salvation Arm,
training college of New York City.

There is an idea generally prevalent

has certain number of eggs to lay
after which she goes bro0dy. This idea
has been proved incorrect, as the pro

an endless chain, which continues ac
