Great Success So
Far. $4,000
Subscribed.
CLOSES NEXT MONDAY
People Responding Nobly
to Appeals for COntri-
buttons to Fund.

The most intensive and far
reaching campaign ever conducted
in Iron county has been in prog
ress this week-the drive to raise
IS, 900, Iron County's portion of
the 500, 600, 900 Red Cross fund.
Men and women of affairs in the
county have given their entire time
and attention to the campaign, and
have been meeting with excellent
success. The big campaign started
Monday and will be continued I'M
til next Monday evening. The
citizens of the county have respond
ed nobly with their contributions,
and while there is a considerable
portion of the cOunty's allotment
to be raised, at this writing it is
expected that before next Monday
evening the amount will have been
secured and probably more.
At noon yesterday it was esti-
mated at the Red Cross headquar
ters that about IS 900 had been
subscribed, Complete reports had
not been received from the outly-
ing towns, but a fair estimate was
possible and the amount subscribed
so far was given as s.. 900. That
being true it leaves 81 900 to be
raised before closing time Monday
evening. Committees and solici-
tors are at work in all the towns of
the county, and an effort is being
made to see every person i'll the
county. 1t is possible that the
largest contributors are included in
the amount subscribed so far, so
that the solicitors are now working
ing for memberships at SI.oo each,
and it is expected that by this
method the required amount will
be raised.
Reports are sent in to headquar.
ters from the various towns in
lump sums. Workers in the vii
lage of Hamilton have been busy
and it was learned from good au-
thority yesterday that from this
village alone the contributions
would amount to 81, 900 and prob
ably 81, 500. At o clock yester-
day a special messenger arrived
from Saxon with the news that up
to Thursday evening S6II.5o had
been subscribed in the town Of
Saxon.
We are highly pleased with the
way people have responded with
contributions il this campaign,

committee yesterday. We have
encountered but few cases where

IRON COUNTY RED
CROSS CAMPAIGN
NOT so STRICT.
Physical Requirements Are Not As
Strict In Present Crisis As
During Time of Peace.

That surprise is III store for
many young men who believe that
they will never see military service
because of some Slight physical de
feet, is said to be evident from
the daily routine of work at the re-
Cruiting station at Marquette.
1t is a common occurrence for
men between the specified ages to
find themselves physically fit, as
far as the army regulations are con-
cerned, when some Slight physical
defect had led them to believe that
they would surely be rejected.
The bars have been let down on
physical requirements not com
pletely, but they have been low
cred considerably. The recruiting
officers are still critical, but not as
strict as during peace times.
Physically fit " is a phrase with
a somewhat different meaning now
from what it possessed before the
declaration of war.
Tne recruit is now chosen from
two points of view: First, the
United States as an employer.
Does he have the necessary intelli-
gence and the required education
to make good soldier? BY edu-
cation is meant his command of
the English language and his ap-
parent ability to understand and
carry out commands.
Second, the physical qualiica-
tions of the recruit. Has he stuff
ciert physical endurance to carry
out the daily routine of a soldier,
and has he, or can he, develop suf-
fcient reserve force to stand mp
under the strain of unusual physi-
cal exertion1
The applicant must be able to
carry his rife and packs, to kneel,
to shoot and III other ways to per
form the movements required OF a
soldier in a normal manner A
slight stiffness of a Joint, if it does
not interfere with his duties, does
not disqualify.
Diseases, as a cause for rejection,
are classed according to their ma
ture and severity, some, the acute
diseases for instance, being cura-
bic and, therefore, not a cause for
rejection. If al applicant IS suf-
fering from any form of pulmonary
tuberculosis, or another form OF
chronic debilitating disease, he is
rejected, even if he is the most
prominent athlete in his school,
city or district, as the case may be.
TABLE or AVERAGE wRIGHTS.
The recruiting circular from the
adjutant general prescribes table
of average weights for the various
heights as follows
Table of Physical Proportions:
Iron County news. [volume] (Hurley, Wis.) 1913-1950, 1917-06-23

Marked disproportion Of weight
over height is not a cause for re-
lection unless the applicant is alb
solutely obese.
DEFECTS or HEARING OR D!SoUAL-
IFYING.
The hearing is tested by having
the applicant stand with his back
toward the examiner at distance
of 20 feet. While an assistant
stops one ear the examiner whis-
pers words or phrases, and il they
are heard he records the hearing at
2O-20.
Thus $50 signifies that the whis-
per is heard FIVE feet and - % that
il is heard at Il feet. The exam
lining officer reaches his decision By
determining whether. in his opin-
ion, the applicant will be able TO
hear commands at all times.

Carolina Will Continue to
Operate Here.

The report in the newspapers con-
corning the financial difficulties in
which the Carolina & Yadkin River
Railroad had found itself caused
considerable discussion in this city.
Asked for statement of the cOndi-
ton of the road, assurance was given
by an official that the road would
continue to be operated as at present
and under the direction of the same
officials.
The official states that the corpor,
alton of W. N. Coler & Company is
a large holder OF the bonds of the
Carolina & Yadkin- River Railway
Company and has been financing the
interest on the bonds of the railroad
to large extent ever since the same
was built and that the deficit be-
came so great that W. N. Coler &
Company could no longer shoulder
the obligation. AS a consequence
the interest, on the bonds was passed
on June /, but this will not neces
sarily interfere with the operation
of the road, inasmuch as the pro-
visions of the deed of trust securing
the bonds is to the effect that no &C.
ton can be taken looking to the ces-
sation of the operation of the road
within six months after default The
road is making ample money to pay
its operating expenses.
1t was stated that the company
was making current expenses and a
small surplus is left over each month
but the surplus is inadequate to
meet the interest on the bonds. 1t |
was in putting up the interest that |
W. N. Coler & Company tied up their !
resources. The statement of the Off.
cial will come as good news to scores
of shippers of the city who have
been benefited by the service given
by the line and the fact that it is
sure to continue in operation, no
matter from whence funds are Sc
cured.

THE PRESIDENT.

The President of the United States
is a good and wise man, who is
elected by the people to give tone
to politics in Washington. He is
popularity supposed to run the coun-
try, too, but he doesn't. He merely
looks over the train sheets.
The President serves four years.
Some of the most durable have
served eight years. He gets $4,000
a year, and lives in the White House,
a large mansion, completely sur
rounded by newspaper reporters. He
doesn't get his salary for living in
the White House, but it is said to be
worth the money.
The President usually rises to his
high office from obscurity, and goes
back there promptly as soon as his
term is over. Only native-born
Americans can be President. This
discourages immigrants SO that they
rarely 90 into politics. They 60 into
business instead, and become alder
men.
1t is the duty of the President to
veto all bills passed by the opposi-
ton, to see that the Cabinet chairs
are freshly filled each morning, and
to eat whatever is set before him,
no matter how badly the banquet
committee may have fallen down.
He must fit a Pullman car berth
neatly, must enjoy seeing bis feat
ures warped all out of shape by car
toonists, and must give reporters
and writer's any desired details
about his way of shaving or his
brand of socks OF the way in which
he ties his shoes. The President is
public property, and is ne1 er allowed
to forget the fact. The public is very
hard on Presidents too, just as it is
on the rest of its property Very.
few Presidents live very long after
their escape.
