Tots Will Meet Ready Re-
sponse Here

A letter was received recently from
the committee in charge of the Bel
gian relief work, appealing for aid

porous mining camps in this country
will aid generously this worthy cause
Look at your own little kiddies who
are round, rosy, happy and we'll fed.
Then think of those little sufferers, one
million of them, who are starving. One
dollar feeds one child for one month.
Think it over and when Belgian Day
comes see how good it feels TO help

Postoffice Change

July 1st the Hayden postoffice be-
comes a second-class office, being pro-
NOTED from third class. This won't
mean any particular change, except
that the office will probably have an
other clerk, who, of course, would need
Civil Service examination for the
place. Another change will be that the
office, rs soon as it reaches the sec
ondclass stage, will not be open on
Sundays during any portion of the day.
Mr.. Phillips is in hopes of securing
new quarters, but it is improbable that
the postoffice will now be moved to the
building just erected next to the bank.
Mr. Cooper, the government inspector,
who was here on the 29th uIto, says
that there is every prospect of the
postoffice being taken out of it's pres
ent overcrowded quarters, and that an
effort will shortly be made to accom-
plish this, although just at present
there is no place in mind. Mr. Phillips
expects arrangements to be made to
secure larger quarters some time be-
fore next fall.

INFANTRY TO BE FILLED FIRST
Gets First Call On Services Of Men
Arriving at Camp Custer.

Camp Custer, Battle Creek-The in.
tantry is to have first call on the SER
vices of every man who enters the ma.
honal army at Camp Custer.
Announcement of drastic revision
Of the system which was followed dur.
Ing the arrival of the first five per
cent contingent was made at division
sl headquarters. The result will be
that men who have felt certain their
training would enable them to qualify
Tor the engineers, the signal corps,
Or the quartermasters' corps, will be
disappointed.
The reason Is that the division staff
does not intend that the infantry, "the
queen of battle" they call it, shall be
allowed to deteriorate. They sympa-
thize with the efforts of the officers
Of the engineer and other corps to
all their branches of the service with
picked men, but they believe that the
system of intensive selection which
has been followed will drain the line
troops of all their best men.
The men who are now arriving in
Camp Custer are not asked their pre-
vious occupation. They are divided
among the various branches of the
service on a schedule of percentages
and without regard to their Qualifica-
tons.

Care of Farm Tractors.

Spare parts of the gas tractor should
be kept Ola hand at all times. To keep
the engine running is the main thing
In the harvest field. Going to town
for repairs takes time which can be
avoided by having spare parts at hand.
Spare parts Of pieces which wear the
most should be carried with the tractor
in order to save time In replacing
parts. Cylinder oil for the gas engine
must be Of the best quality and high
est grade TO get the best result from
the tractor, A cheap low grade OF
oil will cause frequent stops and de
lays and will seriously interfere with
the efficiency of the engine. Overhaul
the tractor at least once a week and
every three days IL run continuously
day and night To delay one day may
result in broken part which will
take longer to repair than the time re
quired for overhauling the engine.

OFFICERS FACE HEAVY EXPENSE
Before Going Overseas, Must Secure
Much Extra Equipment.

Lansing-Michigan brigade officers
are learning what to wear and have
and what not to wear and have when
they go to France and into the
trenches.
They face, before going overseas,
the purchase of hundreds of dollars
worth Of extra clothing, equipment
and other supplies. What to take has
been suggested in letter by an off,
GER with the Pershing expedition.
Practically four bedding outfits are
suggested, two for use in the trenches
and two behind, owing to vermin, and
tour complete changes of clothing,
three for active service and one for
wear while on leave. Four pairs of
marching shoes, a pair Of hunting and
another of rubber boots are advised,
together with full-length overcoat
and q sheepskin coat.
As many as 10 changes OF under
wear are advised, while handkerchiefs
and towels, the expeditionary oficer
suggests, should be purchased by the
dozen.

LITTLE war TALK
At CAMP CUSTER
PHENOMENAL FACT THAT BOYS
DO NOT DISCUSS MAIN
CAUSE FOR COMING.
NEW WORK OCCUPIES MINDS
In Barracks the Talk Touches Every
subject Except War, This 10
Kept In Background.

Camp Custer, Battle Creek-If you
want to forget the war" go to Camp
Custer.
1t IL a phenomenal fact that at .
day when war is published by every
press and discussed by every pulpit
and proclaimed in every assembly. and
argued in every private conversation,
one place exists where man may
roam for week and hardly hear the
great struggle mentioned. And that,
Of all places, a military encampment
where men are being prepared for
war.
Newcomers are at loss to identify
what it is they miss during their first
days here, and then they suddenly
wake up to the fact that nobody is
talking about the war.
In barracks, the talk touches every
subject except the war. One day,
when a newspaper announced that the
boys would be in the trenches by
Christmas, there was an hour of ques.
tioning as to how false the report was,
but even then, the subject of the war
was not Embossed.
1t simply isn't being talked about
There 1t is, looming ahead in every
soldiers thoughts, but the pressure
Of other work keeps It always in the
background.
1t IL not that the war is a topic to
be dreaded. These men discussed the
war with the utmost freedom before
they came here-even when they knew
they were coming here. But their new
life has filed their minds with SO
many new interests and their training
10 of such a character as to link them
with practical rather than argumenta-
tive topics, that the war has simply
taken a back seat as a matter of con-
versation.
