The men are asked 10 volunteer

u eign service Most Of them voun-
Fl toor. but others hesitate at leaving
10 home family and business
Several States have been work

and aid in recruiting.

The II begins to feel heavier. There
Il a WEAKNESS in the spinal column.
Sweat breaks out wherever the weight
bears down upon the clothing.
Little raw places begin TO grow
snto sores which are irritated by salty
perspiration.
The feet grow heavy and pains
shoot through the balls and heels
EVERY timo the full weight pounds
hcm down upon the rough ground.
" the old style pack. used by
most militia regiments, Is carried,
the blanket roll slnng across the
left shoulder chafeS against the
sUeaty cheek and makes II raw.
II the man is heavy his breath be-
gins 10 wheeze in his throat and he
feels as II he could drink a gaHen of
water.
Soon he has consumed all the luke

Later he learns the trick Of carry

this false sensation Of thirst
Night comes and the column halt'
Just as the rookie" is sure his wob.
bly, knees can bear him no longer
He crawls into his shelter tent and
'ries to sleep on his poncho laid upon
ihc ground.
All the stones and pebbles in
the world seem 10 find Judgement
under the s0rest spots on his ach-
ing body. He hollOws place out

at their slowness.
Once more they dash forW ard.
And so tho ordeal goes on day after
day until tho muscles no longer ache
the feet no longer blister and the body
has callous spots where chatting sores
once stung the flesh.
The rookie feels a new sense oi
strength and power. lie laughs at
his former misery.
AND WITH THAT LAUGH HE BE

HE Unfortunately nigh prices Of pro-

has caused widespread revolt, and IN

are organizing 10 resist the outrageous

boycott against butter and eggs and certain
other provisions IS being carried on, and
If the consumers will stick 10 II there will

The chief trouble seems 10 De that the
conc storage trust is withholding goods

create An impression OF scarcity. The
cold storage people have many millions
OF dollars worth Of butter and eggs IN
Their warehouses, and instead Of selling
them al fair prices they insist on holding
them until they can reap extortionate
profits. Public officials are lending their
aid 10 the attempts 10 BRING down prices,
and as the movement becomes more and
more widespread II is the more likely tc
succeed.
Dealers IN the cities and in smaller
places lost heavily on thanksgiving tur-
keys last week. They held the prices 81

buy the fowls, and instead of getting
forty TO fifty cents pound fhe dealers
