George Washington a whimsey had,
And so had Paul Revere.
With Thomas Jefferson the fad
Was boringly sincere. ~na
Ben Franklin, everywhere he went,
Opposed his country's government
And showed decided discomfort
With his allotted sphere.
The country's problems at that date
Were many, you'll admit,
For commerce, roads, taXation-rate
Had not been fixed bit.
And yet, these whimsey-men, you see,
Still went about and made their plea
And even fought for being free
And now we think them great!

IF President Calls for 100000
Volunteers, Our Quota to
Train at Detroit.

WASHINGTON. Z. C. Feb. 6.-The
war department has made plans for
training 100000 volunteers in case a
call shall become necessary. The plan,
formulated by the war college divis-
ion of the general staff, has been APP
proved by Secretary of War Baker.
Under the plan the country is tenta-
lively divided into nineteen infantry
and six cavalry areas for mobilization
and training purposes. The troops will
be distributed approximately in pro-
portion to population.
VIII Train at Detroit.
The Tenth to Thirteenth congress
sional districts Of Indiana and ali OF
the state of Michigan are included in
the Thirteenth infantry division, would
train at Detroit.
Lake County's Quota 500 Men.
This would mean that the Tenth In
diana district would be obliged to
furnish 1900 soldiers at the first call.
AS Lake county comprises one-half the
district there would be ZOO to 500 re-
CURED from here
Gary's share would be between 200
and $50 men, Hammond and East Chi
cago each around goo and the rest Of
tile county in proportion. Central and
southern Indiana and certain Ohio dis
tricts would mobilize at Fort Benjamin
Harrison. near Indianapolis
The only political or geographical
subdivisions within the United states
made on the basis of population are
congressional districts. These dis
t~icts can. therefore, be used as con-
venient unit in forming divisional
areas. There are IA such districts in
the United states In the following
grouping all areas are divided into six
teen or seventeen districts. except ne
each of fifteen. eighteen and nineteen.
