Grandpa" Ackert, as he was famil-
iarly known by his friends here. was a
striking illustration Of the happy fac
ulty yof growing old gracefully. Mr..
Acl ert, despite his extreme age was,
up to the time of his last illness, as
spry as many men of 60. He retained
his mentality to a degree seldom seen
in men of his years. and each day saw
him taking long walk. 1t was hobby
with him to wear a pedometer, and he
could tell, and did tell, his friends just
how many miles he had walked in a
week. month, or year, as the case
might be.
Mr.. Ackert had lived during an age
that had seen all of the wonderful in
ventions. He remembered the first
railroads OF the country in the early
stages OF their development, and when
automobiles came into use believed
that the acme OF human invention had
been reached. However, airplanes fol-
lowed, and Mr.. Ackert was not salts
fed until he had ridden in one of them.
At past 30, on the coast Of Florida,
where .he was spending the winter. Mr..
Ackert took ride In biplane
Mr.. Ackert was a native of New
York state, where he was born Sept. II,
1898. He was . member of the One
Hundred Thirty New York
infantry during the civil war, his COM
pany having been recruited at Bing-
hamton, the old Ackert home. He par
ticipated in the different engagements
OF his regiment, including the battle Of
Gettysburg.
Eight years before the civil war was
declared. or on June 4, 1853. Mr.. Ackert
was united In marriage with Miss Fran
ces Davis, Of Pine Plains, N. Y. For
nyyeArs after the war Mr.. and Mrs.
Ackert lived at Moberly, Mo-, and it

Away With the Camouflage;
Results Alone Counts

In the preparation and conduct of
the war we have had camounage
long enough.
The Commercial Appeal can not in
conscience longer cease to dwell up
on certain things.
We have all, more or less, shut
our eyes to things that should not
be.
We have been doing a ghost dance.
With noise and shouting we have
been seeking to exercise the devil out
of the Huns.
We have not made the prepara-
tion for the war that we should have
made.
We ought TO have an army of a
million and a half men under arms.
! Since the war broke out we have
had plenty of time to arm every SOL
dier.
We ought to have been sliding
ships from the ways every day for
month, but instead we lost two or
three months in row between two
members of the board.
Ships and more ships, guns and
big guns, trained men and more train
ed men are what it takes to win this
war. Behind these ships and behind
these trained men must be supplies
of coal and food and clothing, and in
order to create these supplies every
ounce of energy in this country must
become subordinate.
We have regiments and brigades
.nf- field artillery heayX artillery. in:
fantry ana the Lord knows what all, |
and yet some of these have never
seen a cannon or a musket. !
The country is filed with officers
jumping up and down III their tracks.
Young men are being sent to
camps and when they are. in these p.
camps they cannot keep from fall
ing over one another.
In one camp there is big supply
of wooden clothing and yet this has
not been issued. Some one depart
ment is bound up in red tape
In other camps there are not
enough overcoats for the use of the
men on guard duty at night.
There is an enormous amount of
in Camp Sewer, Camp Cor.
don, Camp Wheeler, Camp Beaure-
gard, Camp Pike and other camps.
After the death list began to grow
the heads OF the medical depart
nent at Washington moved out.
While they are gone some one ought
o move their swivel chairs out
through the windows.
The camps are full of young sur
yeons. They know their business,

nent of pneumonia or measles and l
he line. They know little about the G

eases carried by germs.
A lot of doctors, running from 4C
to 60 years, ought to be grabbed ur
and quickly sent into the camps and
given authority to clean up the dis.
ease. And lot of city health Off
GERS and sanitary engineers ought to
90 along with them.
Up to the present date there has
been too much lip talking and too
much hurrah about things that are
really not worth while.
Here are a few things in the econ
omy of soldering which are vital:
First-Health for the soldiers.
Second-Food for the soldiers.
Third-Clothing for the soldiers.
Fourth-Guns for the soldiers.
Fifth-Transporta for the SOL
diers.
The people are willing to make any
sacrifice. They are beginning more
and more to realize the justness of
this war.
Young men who volunteered prov
ed their faith by their acts.
The other young men who have
been sent away in the draft are will
ing to do their duty, but the people
will demand that when they are will
ing to make the contributions neces-
sary. that they have intelligence and
ability in control of the army, that
these contributions in men and in
money n6ed not re Wasryli: --------- :
Already we see the folly of the To-
cation of some of these camps. That
would be sufficient reason for moth
ing more heing done because of pull
and incorrect data.
One camp is located where it is SO
damp that the soldiers clothing be-
comes mildewed over night.
The chief object in the Spanish
American War, outside of the SOL
diers who enlisted, was an endeavor |
on the part of a vast group of
Americans to make money out of the .
men, out Of the camps, out |
of the ships, and out of everything
else.
ANY man who sees in this war only /
an opportunity to make big money
is an enemy to his country and a
traitor.
This characteristic is not only
among some men, but it is in some
Of our big corporations.
1t has come to point where the
people will demand that all Of these
men and all of these corporations be
aiken in hand.
Speed up; speed up. Organize,
lnify, cut red tape and turn on the
Energy of the nation.

OUR COUNTY AGENT.

Doubtless there are few people in
Ohio county who realize the value of
a good County Agent.
A good County Agents services to
a county cannot be measured in dol.
lars and cents. And this is the kind
Of County Agent we have in the per-
sol of Mr.. w. w. Browder--a man
who has his work at heart, and who
is always working at his job.
II we mistake not, sweet clover and
soy beans were practically an un-
known quantity in Ohio county until
Mr. BToWd6r was -enlpfUyed IT'S agent
There are many things that could
be said to the credit of Mr. Browder,
but one thing that we would impress
upon our people is the fact that Ohio
county has one of the best and most
progressive County Agents in the
State, and one which many other
counties whose resources are more
fully developed than ours, would be
glad to have.

Christmas is only a matter of days
now. Are you going to remember
the boys in the trenches and at the
various camps over the country, or
are you going to spend your money
buying presents for the folks at
bome?" Which would be the most
noble thing? Who would most ap-
preciate a remembrance-those that
are enjoying the comforts of home
surroundings, or the boys that are
OF necessity forced to be away from
home? Our idea is to spend less in
giving presents to home folks and
using the money for the boys in the
camps. What yours? Think it ov-
err.

We have no "crow TO pick" with
the NJ II. & L. railroad, but it does
seem to us that the people along this
line deserve better train service
They gave right-of-way and helped
in every other manner possible to get
the line through this section Of the
county, and had the road been q
raging one, the company would have
enjoyed these benefits. Now, that the
line is a losing venture. according to
officials, is no reason why the peo-
pie Of Dundee, Sunnydale, Hartford
and other towns along the NJ. II. &.
Z. should have to get along with a
mixed train each way a day. We
deserve better service, and believe
We "ill get it.
