A Patriotic Young Man.

When it comes to real patriotism
we think that Carl Larson, a young
man who has been here doing car
penter work on the new Catholic
church, has certainly showed that
his heart is in the right place, as he
gave $25 to the local chapter of the
Red Cross last week. Such contri-
buttons as this coming from hard
working man illustrates that he is
a 100 per cent true blue American
and doing his bit to uphold the hon
or and integrity of Old Glory.

HOME.

Homes it a place enclosed with
four walls, where we go at the end of
a days work for shelter? Or is it
place of charity and friendship,
where life is lived the fullest?" So
spoke Silas Strong, one of Irving
Bachelors creations. The question
"a sed by Silas is easy to answer, es-
pecially to those who are not blessed
with home. Happy is the man who
has a home where smiles and good
cheer will greet him after the days
work is done. If he does not ,appre-
ciate his home he should be made to
live the life of a hermit where he
could commune or quarrel with no
one but himself. No one appreciates
a home so much as one who has had
one and lost it through death or any
other cause. AS the years send
man toward the end which knows no
returning some of the best thoughts
that come to him are the recollectioIs
of that home, humble though it may
have been, where he spent his child
hood days or where he saw the sight
of his first born. A man may live in
palace with all the known convent
ences of life, still he may be home
less, for home can be only where the
heart is. The man who wrote the
song, Home, Sweet Home" did not
write surrounded by the comforts of
a home, but simply wrote visions of
what might have been and what he
yearned for.

might be well for them to place their

ed by men from training schools and
these mon have done very we'll to say
the least. Promotions will come fast
on the field of battle as there "a man
will have plenty of chances to display
his bravery and ability. There are no
favorites played and everyone is
treated on the basis Of quality. Men
who were inclined to be hard have
had the toughness taken out of them
by strict discipline and when they
found out that they were getting a
square deal they have braced up
splendidly and have made the most
of it. The severe training has made
erwise would never become one.
They are better now than when they
first came here. Company comman-
ders have worked hard to obtain good
results and are entitled to a good
deal of credit The enlisted men are
also deserving of some praise as they
likewise have taken hold of the work
in the proper spirit. In order that
there may be good progress made
there must be perfect harmony be-
tween the men and their officers.
The. company that l belong to has
been getting along nicely and so far
we have been training as infantry
men. However we are strictly a mo-
tor truck company serving ammuni-
ton to the artillery and no doubt we
will receive our instruction with mo-
tors later on.
The most cheerful spot in the
great camp here is the little green
buildings occupied by the Y. NJ. c..
A. and located at numerous places il
the reservation. Too much cannot
be said in regard to the fine work
they do here. For the young soldier
here is place of relaxation after the
days work is done. The fire place
with its cracking wood attracts the
boys while they may sit there listen
ing to good music or other talent.
There is some entertainment or 9TH
er which takes place every night and
it is surprising what good talent is
secured. 1t is a place of real COM
fort and the good work done by the
Y. NJ. c.. A. is only too we'll known.
1t has been a wonderful exhibit
ton of the patriotism of this coun-
try in seeing so many million men
step forward at the call to the colors
ready to give their life and every
thing they possess to the Nation S
need. This has all been done without
any disorder whatsoever and it is
truly amazing.
After the war is over no doubt the
great army VIII quietly disband and
it will be happy day when the sol
der boys come marching home once
again. / believe every man in the
service today thinks more of his
home than ever before and when he
returns he can at least feel that he
has the best country on earth aid

conclusion l extend my heartiest best
wishes for a very happy Christmas.

MANY MEMBERS IN UNIFORM
George Declares "Threats Only Serve

Peace Offer Is mpossble-Seats A.
Iotted to Correspondents.

London, Feb. Skiing George IN
opening parliament said that the re-
Spouse of the allies to the invitation
Of the president of the United States
outlined their aims as far as could be
done at present. The king added:
Threats of further outrages upon
public order and the common right OF
humanity serve to steel our determine
ton"
The opening of parliament, always
picturesque, was shorn Of much OF It's
color and pomp. The peers wore none
of the customary robes and regalla.
The king was clad in khaki uniform
and all the lords and members or the
house of commons who are entitled
to wear either khaki or navy blue toi-
lowed the example of the monarch.
There were other innovations IN
keeping with the time of war. The
imperial escort consisted OF othcers
of the overseas fighting force. Inc
royal gallery in the house OF lords
was set apart for wounded soldiers.
For the first time in the history or
parliament the Importance OF the Tor
eign press was recognized by the al
lotment of seats in the press gallery
to correspondents from allied and neu-
trail countries.
The weather was clear and crisp ana
as the royal procession passed from
Buckingham palace to the house Oh
parliament dense crowds lined the
streets.
King George spoke as follows:
"For the third time in succession l
summon you to your deliberations IN
the midst Of war. Certain overtures,
Of which you are aware, have been
made by the enemy with a view to
opening peace negotiations. Their
tenor, however, indicated no possible
basis of peace. My people throughout
the empire and my faithful and heroic
allies remain steadfastly and unanl-
mously resolved to secure the just de-
mands for reparation and restitution
In respect for the past and guarantees
for the future which we regard as es-
sential to the progress of civilization
"In response to an invitation by the
president of the United States of Amer
lea, we have outlined, as far as can De
done at present, the general objects
necessarily implied by these aims"

Mo Bank Failures in 1916.


The report of the state banking de-
partment has been sent to- Governor
RYE and reflects unusually prosperous
conditions of the banks OF Tennessee
during the year 1916.
The most gratifying and most prom
inent fact to be reported is that dur
ing 1916 no state bank failed, in fact,
the last failure was early in 1915 and
in that case all depositors were
promptly paid in full The conditions
in the state are good, the total re-
sourcse of the state banks are about
s18,OOO,OO0 greater than a year ago.
There are now four hundred and
twenty banks under the supervision
of the department, sixteen of these
being branches without separate cap
ital. Fourteen new banks opened for
business during the year, three or
which were previously national insti-
tutions. No state bank has yet
Joined the federal reserve system
Eight hundred and fifty-seven exami-
nations were made and two published
statements were called. Numerous
special statements we're required from
individual banks and general special
statement was called for the close Oh
business June 30.
Liquidation of four Of the banks
that failed in 1914 is still incomplete.

Some Imposing Kitchen Ware

IL cooks know that nothing is better for
"A certain kinds of cooking than iron
ware Yet so large and massive is 1t,
according 10 modern ideas, that almost any
little bride equipped with full outfit of this
splendid stuff as a wedding present would look
with some dismay upon the prospect of using
it as an aid to kitchenette housekeeping.
But the woman who has large kitchen and
who cooks regular meals would regard these
utensils as eminently desirable. Looked at
merely as beautiful kitchenware, they are as
much an aesthetic delight as they are satisfac-
tory from utilitarian point of view.
Like all the Wagner Ware, they have very
evidently been designed by artists. The curves
and proportions Of each dish as perfect as
they are in the famous aluminium ware.
All these utensils are made of cast iron,
nickel plated, so that they look like silver.
There is handled griddle, a shallow skillet,
a Scotch bowl, fat bottom kettle and Dutch
oven. AS all campers and most housekeepers
we'll know, the chief convenience of Dutch
oven lies in its ability to roast things TO
turn on top of the stove or over the camp fre.
When the real oven is balky or full of other
things a Dutch oven will prove to be most
useful member of the kitchen family
At first sight these beautiful kettles and skill
lets would tempt any housewife, but unless she
knows how to handle them she may receive
severe shock the first time they are put In use
Until they grow little accustomed to beng
cooked in they will tarnish if you look at them.
Even plain water boiled in one of these kettles
will turn the inside of it brown, and cakes or
potatoes cooked in the skillets will leave them
spotted like leopard.
But take courage This Disagreement Is
only skin deep. Use them fearlessly, scour
them energetically at first and rub grease well
into the pores. They will soon smooth and
mellow into an exquisite shining surface that
is as beautiful as pewter.
Like all iron utensils, they are slow 70 hea''
but retain the heat admirably after it is once
brought up to the right pitch.
