URGES YOUNG kENTUCKIANS TO
TRY FOR COMMANDS

In proclamation to the young men
Of Kentucky eligible for selective
draft, Gov. Stanley urges the young
men Of capacity to make applications
for appointment to the second officers
training camp at Fort Benjamin Har-
rison.
Gov. Stanley says that he feels sure
that the reason why there has not
been more general response to the
urgent call for officers, is due to mis-
understanding and not lack of pa
triotism. He says that while older
men than those Of the selective draft
age are desired, any young man of
capacity has the opportunity to pass a
successful examination for the camp.
He regards it as great opportunity.

WAR BRIDES WON BY UNIFORMS
OF UNCLE SANS MEN

Port Riley, Kas.-Here Is a little
incident that is happening in every
company every week in the officers
training camp:
Captain, can l get eighteen hours
extra leave of absence this week, sir,
a student asks his captain, after he
has gone through the red tape neces-
sary to have talk with him.

And maybe he gets his extra leave
and maybe he doesn't. If he lives in
Colorado or st. Louis or some other
distant place he gets it, and If he
doesn't he gets about six hours extra
Saturday morning. All the students
get off at noon Saturday and they
are free until Monday morning.
Judging from the gossiping around
the barracks, it seems that about 25
per cent of the men have been mar
ried since the training camp opened.

start telling about their new wives

leave on Saturday noon and return as
benedicts on Monday morning.

BRATTLEBoRo MAN FINED.
Disturbed Peace at West Chesterfield
Dance-Taken to Keene,

AS the result of attending dance
in West Chesterfield, n. H., Friday
night Louis NJ. Dunlevy of Brattleboro
paid a fine of So and costs of 1882
in the municipal court in Keene, n. H.,
next morning. The charge for which the
fine was imposed was disturbing the
peace. A charge of assaulting an of,
ficcr, Constable Harold Il. Randall, was
continued.
Dunlevy was one of a party of young
people from Brattleboro who attended
the dance. According to Constable
Randall he was smoking in the hall
and was requested to read the signs and
refrain! After some talk he was asked
to leave the building and did so. He
told the officer that he had left his rub.
bers in the building and they went
back to get them, when it is claimed
by the officer that Dunlevy struck him
in the face, knocking off the glasses the
officer wore. He was then placed

PAPER CONTEST AWARDS.
Hi CHEST Per-Capita Average Made by
Grade 7 of Canal Street--Total Col
lections over 16 Tons.

Approximately 16 tons, or to be exact
81 ,O76H pounds, of old papers and maya
zines is the grand total of the collections
made by the school children of the incor-
porated district the past month for the
playground fund. The collections of pa
pers amounted to 1852 pounds and of
magazines l4,56S pounds. No such aggre-
gate of old papers and magazines ever was
gotten together in Brattleboro before, and
the result shows what little concerted
effort with one object in view can bring
about.
The total amount paid for this waste
material by b. Chernin, junk dealer, was
$24S. go The division of this sum on the
basis announced at the beginning of the
contest gives $l8674, or three-fourths to
the playground fund The balance, 1925,
is divided between the grades making the
largest per-capita collections.
The grand prize of SIS to the grade
standing at the top of the list on the per-
capita division went to grade of the
Canal street building, taught by Miss
Rawson. Her 81 pupils collected an aver
age of 1856 pounds. In addition to this
prize the grade in each of the three build
ings, Main street, Canal street and Oak
Grove, was to receive prize, making
four in all, but grade 8, which stood Sec
ond in the Main street building, made such
a fine showing that the pupils voted to
award that grade a special prize, making
a total of five awards. This makes the
awards to the four grades below the high
est little smaller than they otherwise
would have been, but all are satisfied and
the action of the children in voting the
special prize shows a fine spirit.
Exclusive of Miss Rawson's room the
were as follows: Grade 7, Main
street, Miss Hunter, l34.3 pounds average,
sl2 grade 3, Oak Grove, Miss Edith
576 pounds average, $l2; grade
s. Canal street, Miss Mexican, 54.1 pounds
average, $l2; grade 8, Main street, Miss
Applin, 1861 pounds average, special
SLIPS.
Miss Applins grade brought in the larg-
est aggregate weight of papers and maya
zines, the total being 5,3O6 pounds, but
there are so pupils in her grade, which
brought down the average below that of
Miss Rawson's room, where the total was
slightly less, 1928 pounds.
The total collections for last week
we're as follows: Papers, 4,4S9 pounds, at
10 cents a hundred, $3l.4S magazines,
1858 pounds, at 90 cents a hundred,
1885, total, 1852 pounds, $69S4. This
AMOUNT was exceeded only once during the
month.

BOBCATS KILL DEER.
County Warden Makes Trip Through
West River Valley -, Two New Depu-
= ties Appointed.

John w. Titcomb, state fish and
game commissioner, has appointed up
on the recommendation of County
Warden Erwin II. Metcalf, two deputy
wardens. They are C. II. Comstock of
Westminster and II. l.. Cobb of Put
ncy. Others will be appointed in the
near future.
Warden Metcalf returned Tuesday
afternoon from a trip through the
West River valley to dispose of the
carcasses of four deer that had been
reported to him. Three of them had
been undoubtedly killed by bobcats.
for the carcasses had been mutilated in
manner peculiar to those animals
He learned from farmers and trappers
in that valley that these animals are
more numerous this year than for
many years in the past.
One of the deer was buck yearling
The animal had been chased on to the
high trestle over the river at West
Dummerston and had fallen to the ice
in the river below, having been killed
instantly in all probability. This
death, Mr.. Metcalf is sure, was due to
dogs judging from the manner in
which the carcass had been attacked.
He believes that the deer had been
chased by dogs and had taken to the
trestle as means of escape.
On the ice near the Williamsville
station was the carcass of shorthorn
buck, and those of two does were on
the ice on the river near Jamaica, one
just below the Cobb Brook bridge and
the other a short distance above. Both
of these had been mutilated by bob
cats, the tracks about the carcasses
being numerous, but about one of
them, around which traps had been set,
there were no fresh tracks of the eats.
The deer, chased from the woods and
snow, had fallen easy pray to the
