Harold Marshall and Herbert

man this Thursday morning,
for Camp Lee at Petersburg, Va.
where they will train for service
in the U. S. Army.
This is something that brings
war closer to our senses, and for
those who shall not fight, the de-
parture of these boys should be
a cause for them to see what else
Uncle Sam needs. Let as not be-

lace. but rather an organized ar

Uncle Sam has not asked for an
army of only 1000, 600; he wants
our numbers to be 100, 900, 600

Schools Open

The Grantsville schools opened
here Monday morning with an
enrolment of 100 pupils. Prof.
Q. II. Snodgrass, fomerly of
Elizabeth. is principal. with Miss
Jean Stump in the intermediate
room and Mrs. C. H. Suodgrass
in the primary room. Prof. and
Mrs. Snodgrass come heYe,higbly
praised by the people Of Spencer
and Elizabeth where they were
formerly engaged, while Miss
Stump is known to the people
OF this locality. There is no
doubt but that a good school can
be had with this excellent force
OF instructors, and the next nine
months should prove of great
value to those who attend.
1t is the duty of every father
and mother. as well as the chill.
dren. to see that much is gained
from this school. This is the
first term of nine months that
has yet been held. and with q
High School in sight the stud.
ents should work that much
harder.

HORSES AS THEY SLEEP.
They Rarsly Lie Down, and Their Eyes
Are Ever on the Alert,

They Rarsly lie Down, and Their Eyes
Are Ever on the Alert.
All horses, when turned out In
pasture, are more prone to take
their rest lying down than when
confined in stable stalls, but even
when virtually free from human
restraint and observation or any
likelihood of danger they seldom
take more than an hour each night
In the recumbent position, and that
period is generally INDUCED in at
about midnight.
A noted veterinarian says: '9There
are some curious facts regarding the
disposition of horses in the matter
of lying down. To hard working
horse repose is almost as much of Q
necessity as good food and water,
but tired as he may be, he is an
animal very shy about lying down.
] have known instances where sta
blemen declared that the horses in
their charge had never been known
to take rest In that manner, but al
ways slept standing. In some Of
these instances the animals were
constantly under human watchful-
ness night and day, and in other
cases the conclusions were arrived
at because no marks of the bedding
were ever found upon their coats.
l now recall an instance of horse
that stood in a stall near the en-
trance of a livery stable. No one
ever saw that animal lying down
within a period of fifteen years,
and he finally died standing"
1t is a theory-only vague sup
position-that horse sleeps stand
ing because he fears that insects or
mice may creep up his nostrils. It
is also known that the elephant has
the same horror of mice and that a
small rodent can cause more con-
sternation among herd of those
colossal animals than can a tiger or
boa constructor. A mouse in the
hay at circus will cause every ele-
plant in the collection to hold his
trunk aloft, plainly indicating that
they fear the little creature may
take refuge in tho proboscis orifce.
But to return to horses. 1t has
always been said that they "sleep
with one eye open" and are con-
stantly on guard. An Indian shod
In cotton felt moccasins, practicing
all the sly arts of his people, could
not, with tho wind in his favor, ap-
proach a sleeping horse without be-
ing detected. No matter how weary
horse may be, his ears arc con-
stantly turning and twisting, so that
their tunnels may catch the slight
est unusual noises. Farmer.

GREAT LAKES. H., July CA
movement toward an increased hap
piness at the L. s. naval training
station here has just been launched
by the Loyal Girls of American So
ciety. To this end the organization
is urging that relatives and friends
of the bluejackets write them cheer
ing letters. Many of the youthful
sailors of Uncle Sans First Line
of Defense" and regular fighting
men cannot keep them from feel
ing just bit homesick at times.
To remedy this condition, accord
ing to Miss Gertrude Gilmore, Chi
cago. secretary of the society, the
organization hopes 10 make every
correspondent of every sailor boy
feel that they are proud of the work
he has undertaken-the defense of
his native land.
At the Great Lakes naval training
station the mailman vies among the
5000 blueiackets for popularity
office is established in one of the
station buildings and at almost any
of the daylight hours a long line of
men may be seen waiting expectant-
ly for the distribution of letters. Ii

this letter is not cheerful il has a

tell him that his favorite dog pines
while he is away. but tell him how

sake of himself. his home and his
country"
The Loyal Girls of America So
ciety was organized shortly after
the declaration of war and is
pledged to write to soldiers and
sailors of the United States. 1t is
indirectly an outgrwoth of a request
made by Evelyn Young, nine-year-
old girl who asked Capt w. A.
Moffett, commandment Of the L. s.
naval training station. Great Lakes.
Ill, for the name of a sailor lad to
whom she could write as if he were

little girl and suggested that a sis

lonesome recruits. The idea spread

Built in Five Weeks.

EANTOUL. H.. July 26.-Five
weeks ago three sets OF farm Guild
ings and growing grain occupied a
6f0-acre tract just outside the limits
Of this town. Today students avia-
tors are trundling over il in prac-
tice machines. expert airmen are
sailing overhead and an army OF
carpenters, plumb ers, electricians
and other skilled workmen are
rushing final touches to 81 struc-
lures which have sprung up as if
by magic. Farm buildings. hedges.

have disappeared and $50 teams,

Even the names by which the

The ground has been christened

The speed of the work has set a

French aviators who visited the
field recently to remark that the

they get started"
1000 Men at Work.
A vague idea of the stupendOus
work that has been accomplished
may be gained from considering
that there have been used already
some 500 cars of material including
more than 40 tons of nails Two
thousand men are at work on the
field and of this number $50 are
manning teams used in leveling the
ground; 700 carpenters are busily
engaged in finishing the buildings;
and I 100 plurn hers steam filters
and their helpers are
putting i'm plumbing. telephones and
electric lights and power.
There are at present II hangers
on the field plat and all are now
ready TO house the
planes. The abandonment of Ash
burn field at Chicago probably
means that eight more hangers will
be built here. In addition there are
mess halls. cadet quarters. officers
quarters. an administration build
ing. an officers club, a garage,
heating plant, a school, a dope"
house and a Y, NJ. G. A. building.
All buildings are on the same
level and are painted white with
roofs Of "barrack red" From a dis
lance one is struck at once by the
beauty and symmetry of the group.
They are guarded by a company OF
state troops who came
here last week.
