Start on Drill Schedule Again.

III Paso, Michigan troops have
begun u repetition Of the drill sched-
ule they went through In FL PasO
three months ago. Orders to begin
again with the fundamentals Of mill
tary training came through General
Kirk. 1t was the answer TO the ques-
ton OF the men us to what work
would be given next. Whether the
full three-inOnths' schedule will be
given Is not known.
The men started with squad drills,
special attention of the commissioned
officers being paid to the work Of the
squad leaders, the corporals. This Is
supplemented with sightseeing, sight
practice, first mid and bayonet exer-
cises.
The orders provide that every Off
Ger, from the colonel Of the regiment
to the corporal, participate in the
drills.
All three Michigan regiments have
gone through this schedule since the
muster.in. The Thirty-third got the
same drill at Crawling 1hat was given
the Thirty-second and 'Thirty-first on
the border II is likely that the drills
will be taken up I'm order until the
entire brigade Is given the brigade
test and maneuvers.

der the agreement OF the Monongahela
Valley Traction company you have to
pay s1.00 per month whether you
burn light or not. Here are some
figures for example, OF my own case.
| have burned In the last four months
4S kilo watts at 6 cents, total $2.SS
and J paid the Monongahela Valley
Traction company $500, total gain
for the company SLIP for which I
received no service. Now say there
arc 400 OF the same kind that burns
the above amount In four months, the
company gains on the 400, Just ex.
actly $44S. Some money. don't you
think? Now suppose the same 400
