The central States lead in enlist
ments in the marine corps, although
the eastern States have by far the
most applicants for enlistment and
the southern States furnish the least
number of soldiers of the sea- ac-
cording to statistics just made pub
lie.
The generally poor physical condi-
ton of easterners. the healthy out
door life which young men of the
interior enjoy, and the proportionate
scarcity Of marine corps recruiting
stations in the south account for these
differences, say recruiting officials.
"Only one man in five can meet our
requreemnts," said Major General
George Barnett commandant of the
U. S. Marine Corps, "and these re.
purements are not severe. Men ac-
cepted must conform to certain pre-.
scribed age and size limits. be ot

that we turn for new ideas to the
wave which has been spreading over
the country. casting up the business
and professional women to the ranks
of the club women, and not forgetting
TO cultivate sympathetic understand

Patriotism on the part of American

cQlADl'S IMnIGRATI0N
Increased by About Sixty PEI
Cent In Past Six Months.

That Canada is at war Is now more
fully appreciated on this side Of the

result Of this a greater interest than
ever Is seen In the mutual effort to
develop both the United States and
Canada. Recently. just before the
time that the United States declared
Its intention to enter the contest and
feat Of the autocracy. whose design
was to permeate the world. Western
Canada made an appeal for farm labor
to till the fields and prepare the soil
for the crops of grain that were nee
essary to feed the fighting forces and
keep up the requirements necessary
for the Allies. The responses were SO
great that before half the time limit
expired. over six thousand labOrers
but once the United States was de-
clared to be in a condition of war, and

q United States and Canadian point Of
view that the immigration Of farmers
to take up homestead lands and to pur-
chase improved and unimproved land
In Canada, has shown such a wonder
ful increase In the past three months.
The great struggle for increasing the
food supply has a broader and greater
significance than ever. The food must
come into existence. whether the rich
soils of the United States or those Of
Canada be the factor.
It il altogether probable that the ac-
ton Of the Canadian Government in
taking the duty of wheat going into
Canada. thus automatically lifting the
duty of that coming into the United
States, may not be responsible for an
increased immigration to Canada. Can

are now renting high-priced lands. is

Immigration at Ottawa. Canada. re-

over one hundred per cent increase
and be much heavier than for many
years past. Mr.. Scott declares that
already this spring more settlers ef-

Church 10 Raise
$1,000 In Five Days

The Methodist church of this
city is planning to conduct a hust-
ling campaign from March 10th to
14th, expecting thereby to raise
$1,000, which is to be used in pay
ing off the remainder of the debt,
and in making much needed re-
pairs on the church.
The building is badly in need of
papering, and many of the stained
glass windows have been broken
by stones. The woodwork, both
the interior and outside finish,
must be painted, and it is planned
to have this done before Easter.
One thousand dollars will pay
for these repairs, and will also pay
all of the church debt, which a.
mounts to several hundred dollars.
We have a beautiful little city,
we people of Idaho Springs, city
of which we are justly proud.
Nestled here among the eternal
mountains, cooled by the breezes
from their, lofty SUBMITS in sum-
mer; cheered in winter by the
radiant sun, our valley has been
most tittingly named Idaho, Gem
of the Mountains. We are inter-
ested in keeping our streets and
alleys clean. We rejoice in every
thing which we have that is good.
We are grateful for the influence
which helps to make this better
place in which to live and rear our
children.
The church has helped to make
this city what it has become.
Through past ages the church has
always stood for high morals and
better living. 1t stands for these
things today, and is making its in
huence felt wherever there is an
eye to see or an ear to hear. Some
of you can recall, perhaps, those
days before the churches became
established in many of the mining
camps. Would you willingly go
back to those conditions? Or do
you feel that you owe something
to the church? Is not peace and
prosperity better than revelry and
strife?
You may not belong to the
church. but the church belongs to
you. You receive a part of its
benefits every day. There is no
institution in the world which
pays as large dividends as does
the church. A few dollars invest
ed now will bring you larger re-
turns. You will be given your op-
portunity on March 10, IL, u, 13
and IA. Help to make it big
week.
