Now this is the kind Of a Con-

the sweet talk and fair promises are
not worth baubee to the common
people. What does the real good is
a man who will go after the real
benefits for his people. Park is 9
new man in Congress, and is not
yet supposed to be onto the ropes;
but lie is getting the results that his

We hated to see him lobbied out
Of the iudgship, but his District is
to be congratulated that such was
the case.

STATEMENT CONCERN
ING THE ARMY

cellent class Of young men, intelli-
gent and ambitious, and far above
the average American Citizen in the
elements that go to make up man
hood. He is supplied with all the
necessities Of life by the Govern
ment free, and should he be sick
the best Of care is taken Of him in a
first cIass Hospital under trained
| doctors and nurses and his pay
runs on without deduction for time
lost provided of course his sickness
is not due to his own misconduct.
In any case however the Govern
ment bears all the expenses Of his
sickness.
The term of enlistment is seven
years-three years on active duty
and four years on reservoir if
sufficiently well trained, he may be
furloughed to the Reserve at the
end Of one years active duty-when
on reserve he passes practically
back INTO civil life-goes where he
pIeases, enters into any business he
may see fit to enter. He stands
ready however to return to active
duty in time Of public danger.
The physical development Of men
in the Amy is wonderful due to
regular habits best strengthing foods
and systematic training. Some Of
the finest specimens Of manhood
can be found in the U. S. Army
and all are physically good.
Moral Training Every Regiment
has Chaplin and every post a Y.
M. G. A., where the mQral and re-
Iigious training Of the soldier is
carefully looked after, and also his
amusements.
Minstrel shows, moving pictures,
Band concerts, etc., are frequently
given for the benefit of the soldier;
and under the direction of the Ath-
/ letic Officer, baseball and football
-
games, Bowling, Hand ball and all
athletic sports are encouraged in
every way practicable. Fishing and
Hunting are provided for and en-
couraged the Government furnish
ing the guns and ammunition free
OF cost to the soldier.
Mental development is carefully
! provided for. Schools wherein the
soldier may obtain vocational train
, ing in the mechanical Arts or Agri-
culture are provided and kept up at
Government expense.
Promotion is offered to the grade
of Non Commissioned Officer carry
ing pay-as much as $4,000 per
month"; which is clear money)-Ihe
Government bearing all necessary
expenses as food, clothing, medi-
cines, medical attention. etc.
Finally the health Of the Army is
a great deal better than the health
OF civilians due to regular living,
systematic training and healthful
exercise.
Promotion to grade of Commits
stoned Officer is offered on exami-
nation to all soldiers after two years
service and between the ages Of 81
and 80.
! Appointment as a cadet to the
United States Academy at West
Point, N, Y. on competitive exami-
nation, is offered the soldier after
I0ne years service and between tlle
ages of 10 and 81 years, where he
may receive an education second to
none in the United States.
Should war come which the Ar
my as we'll as the civilian popuIa-
ton of the United States hopes may
he averted, would it not be better
to 90 trained than to have to go as
a raw Recruit. Now is the time.
} Get your training and be ready to
be leader if war does come which
is believed by many to be not far
distant.

To discontinue an advertisement

An advertisement allowed to get
rusty is like dusty goods on a shelf;
a reflection rather than help to a
merchant. This accounts for the
fact that the average small-town
merchant doesn't know tie value OF
newspaper advertising. He buys
space and writes his first ad. then
sits down and expects customers
to rush in and overwhelm him.
Advertising requires thought and
attention as we'll as any other de-
partment of business.
Newspaper advertising, like all
other advertising does not show its
full benefits Immediately, but does
most good when persisted in. Even
the line advertised does not always
show its full benefits. II is the
