up my hard earned dollars for il?
Even as a loan. But I'm troubled in
my mind don't know exactly what
to do.
don't want to take money from
the business. l could take it, and
borrow on the bonds enough to run
along. But | don't want to pinch.
| don't want to be put out. / don't
want to have to make any effort.
Let the bankers do IL. They have
carried the government bonds be-
fore. Why not now?
If the banks of the country carried
all the bonds 1t would of course work
hardship on the country. But I 4 don't
see how that would affect me. |
don't know whether it would make
1T possible for me to charge a higher
rate of interest with more shave .
or whether it would make my mort
cages less valuable. But | don't feel
right about it, at that.
1t does look funny, somehow, that
there are men who will even give up
their lives for the country. It's sure
a good country. Any man can make
of himself just what he has the am
bition to. He isn't hindered by gov
eminent agents sticking their noses
in. IL he gets to the rathole he can
get rich. And after he is rich the
government does not take it away
from him. Darn 1t, l don't know
what to do.
I'd do most anything for the coun-
try. I'd talk my head off for 1t.
But about these bonds don't
know. l hate to-hate to-Well, |
hate to spend the money. but
Blame it, I'll do it anyway. I'm
worth only about twenty thousand.
But by heck, I'm going right down
town and buy a bondi I'll buy a $50
one, and get off my chest all this
worry and doubt. Gosh. / feel bet
ter already! Nothing like doing
your duty to get Ease of mind.

Then. with his head between his
knees, he is whirled on another con-
traption. At the conclusion of the
whirling he is required to rise. He is
again judged by the manner of his
rising. IL he assumes the proper at
tltude to overcome the motion of the
chair he passes this test. In all these
tests dizziness is one of the requisites
the man who does not get dizzy is
not wanted. Neither is the man who
remains dizzy too long.
The men who took this examina-
ton last week will probably report
late next week. They go into train
ing, studying aviation, signalling by
phone and wireless and mechanics.
AT the end of two months they may
take the examination with a view to
preparing for the office of first lieu
tenant in the corps. after which the
character of their study will change,
and be according to that more adj
vanced and official duty. The pay
during the period of instruction is

this work, Mr.. Whealy says.
Great credit should be given these
young men for entering this hazard

homes to realize that there are men
doing this work on the firing line.
But 1t must be SO. and they must be
just such adventurous souls with red
blood in their veins who are doing
il. By all accounts there are three
other men from the Normal who con-

the examinations at Omaha next

the speedy success of this war de-

LOCAL MEN TO FLY
THREE LOCAL MEN APPLY
SOMETHING OF TESTS FOR
ADMISSION.

G. X. Westaby, Roland Harding
and Marvin Whealy. all of the Nor
NAL, returned from Omaha Friday,
where they took the examination for
positions in the aero section of the
signal corps, balloon division. West
ably and Harding were admitted, and
will report for the training at the
camp designated in about two weeks.
Mr.. Whealy was not admitted on ac-
count of defective eyes, but his pa
pers were sen on with recommends
ton. and he has hopes of gaining ad-
mission.
In speaking of the examination to
which they were subjected, Mr.,
Whealy said that the time. consumed
was about even hours, not counting
the mental tests, which were purely
oral in character. First the prelim-
mary weighing and measuring tests
were given, then organic examina-
tons were made. Eyes, ears, nose,
throat. heart and lungs were given
particular attention. Great stress is
laid on the perfection of these vital
organs, each one of which is under
great strain in the pursuance of duty

can judge of his balance when out OF

air thousands of feet, and in this

sense that is interesting in the ex-
animation given these men.
The candidate was placed, blind

articles which appeared in local daily
papers which he declared went to
confirm his statement with reference

In denying this motion the court
said that the court was not cognizant

before the court for adjudication.
The petit jury was then called in and
the selection of a jury to try these
men began.

 Q. If we be spiritual and live in God how should we act?
 A. To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness unto all men. For me our selves were sometimes foolish. diso- bedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appear ed.-Titus iii:2-4.
 Q. How did God save us?
 A. Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which He shed on us abun- dantly through Jesus Christ our Savior; That being justified by His grace. we should be made co-heirs ac- cordlng to the hope of eternal life.- Titus iii:5-7.

 Q. Can any man truthfully impute his weakness or sin to God :? A. .

 This catechism presents the doctrine of love and helpfulness toward all men, urging them to unite with each other in benevolent enterprises, and to show practical kindness in every form of need. This is the old-tme religion, found in the Holy Bible, Gods inesti- mable gift to man for his faith and practice. to be exemplified in every day life.
 The questions in this catechism per- tain to human interest, and the answer or answers which ever the case may be, given direct from the Holy Bible, together with the book, chapter and number of the passage. The subject treated in this chapter refers to, the I regeneration of man.
 Question. Did Jesus Christ teach the necessity of regeneration
 Answer. There was man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus ruler of the Jews. The same came to Jesus by night, and said untol Him, Rabbi, We know that Thou art Teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that Thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him: Verify, verify, I say unto thee, Except man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.-John iii:1-3.
 Q. How did Jesus Christ say this regeneration must be brought about ?
 A. Jesus answered. Verify, verify, say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is. born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that 1 said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou nearest the sound thereof, but can't tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every man that is born of the Spirit.-John iii:5-8.
 Q. Why is the regeneration called the "new birth ?"
 A.Verily, verify, say untol you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live For as the Father hath life in Him. self; so hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself. And hath given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of man John v:25-27.
 Il Q. Are we called upon to perform spiritual actions and live in God? | A. For none of us liveth to him. self, and no man dieth to himself, Foi whether we live, we live unto. the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore Tor die, we are the Lords. For to this

fluity of naughtiness. and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.-Jas. i:18-21. Q. If a man has the Spirit will he
 love his fellow men?
 A. Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God; and ev- cry one that loveth Him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. = I. John |v:1-2.
 Q. Are the commandments of God grievous and beyond us?
 A. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world and this is the victory that Iovercometh the world, even our faith. I-I. John v:3-4. Q. What was the commandment which John told the elect lady, "We had from the beginning?"
 A. And now 1 beseech, thee, lady, not as though l wrote new com
 mandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. And this is love. that we walk after His command, ments. This is the commandment.
 That, as ye have heard from the be. ginning, ye should walk, in it. For
 many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a decelver and an antichrist.-II. John Ii5-7. -, 70. Should we look to ourselves? A. Look to yourselves, that we lose
 not those things which we have
 wrought. but that we receive full re-
 ward.-11. John i:8.
 ': Did Paul exhort the Ephesians
 to depart from the impurity of the
 Gentiles and put on the new man? l A: This l say therefore, and testi-
 fy in the Lord, that we henceforth
 walk not as other Gentiles walk in
 the vanity of their mind, having the
 Qnderstading darkened, being alienat-
 eq from the life of God through the
 ignorance that is in them, because of
 the blindness of their heart: Who he-

 clsanness with greediness. That we put on concerning the former converse.

 0. Are we admonished to be kind, tenderhearted and forgiving?
 A. Let him that stole steal mo more: but rather let him labor, work ing with his hands the things which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger. and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.-Eph. iv:28, 31-32.
