CIRARD FINDS
UNLOST LAW SUIT
Aberdeen Man Trades Himself Into a
Law Suit. Attempt to Hold
Wife Property for Hus-
bands Debt.

MONTESANO, May 7-Judging by a
suit filed in the superior court, when
A. c. Girard, of Aberdeen, traded his
Satsop farm for a house and lots in
Montesano, he acquired a law suit
Girard traded his farm property clear
of encumbrance for town property he
believed to be equally clear, and in
which belief he felt justified by the
opinion of his attorney who passed
upon the abstract. He is now sued by
M. c. Harris, Of Hoquiam, for $500
the amount of an alleged judgment
rendered against W. l. Lane.
1t appears Girard traded with Mrs
Lane, in whose name the Montesano
property stood, and whose title ap
peared to be clear, and the question
to be tried is whether a judgment
against Mr.. Lane attached to the prop.
erty Of his wife. While the case is
against Girard, the real defendant is
Mrs. Lane, whose warranty deed the
former holds.

Mrs. Kirk has been in poor health

spOndency. She had left her home
about four o'clock in the morning,
crawling out through a window
No inquest will be held over the

Mayor Mckee investigated, decided
that it was a plain case of suicide.
Mrs. Kirk came here last fall with

large ranch near droWoolley. which
they sold and intended to make their

BEACH MILL FIRE
is MYSTERIOUS
Fire of Unknown Origin Destroys Mill
At Pacific Beach-Operated
One Day.

PACIFIC BEACH, May 8.-The new
shingle mill at Pacific Beach, owned
by J. Corner and S. MatsOn, was de-
stroyed by fire of unknown origin
early Sunday morning.
The mill had just been completed
and was only in full operation for one
day before the fire. Mystery sur
rounds the cause of the fire.
Mr.. Corner acting as watchman
made the rounds of the property at
midnight and found everything in or
der. No insurance was carried on
the plant.
The blaze was discovered at three
o'clock and had gained little head
way. 1t could easily have been ex-
tinguished if there had been any water
at hand.
The mill is a total loss, but part
of the machinery can be repaired. The
plant will be recontructed at once.
The fire, believes Mr.. Corner, was
not of incendiary origin. It started
in the engine room. Mr.. Corner had
no theory to offer as to its cause.

He Needs Dicipline, Obedience

YOUTH GETS SWELLED UP
Claims Compulsory Military
Training Betters Boy
All Around

The following earnest letter from
diseases at the University of Pennsyl-
vania, is published in the printed re-
port of the hearings of the state sub
committee on military affairs:
81 am firmly convinced, after trying
for years to prove the opposite for
myself, that compulsory military
training for every youth is necessary
in the United States, not only for the
purpose of having an army to protect.
the country, but also, and more i'm
portant, because of the benefit to tha
mental and physical health of tha
youth of the country.
81 was much impressed years ago
when a student in Germany (am not
only not pro-German in my sympac
thies, but have a cordial hate for mill
itarism) by seeing the tremendous i'm
provement shown in the few months in
the young men called to serve their
time. Many of them arrived at the
barracks dull-looking, not overclean.
slouchy. In a short time they wera
outstanding men.
American Youth Short on Discipline
and Duty.
"The American boy has little idea OF
dicipline, obedience or duty, and al
most momently so rapid is the prog
ress toward degeneration, is becoming
more undiciplined, is yielding more to
the sway of his emotions, instead OF
being taught to control them, and has
become so saturated with the impor~
tance of his getting his rights, that
he has no thought that he owes duty
to his state, his family or himself Ha
has no point of contact with the na-
tional government and does not real
ize he owes it anything.
"Unless the American boy is taught
obedience, unless he learns he must
submit to authority, unless he learns
that the highest manhood is to obey.
unless he learns that work is a bless
ing, not curse, this country is doomed
to the same fate that has overtaken
every soft, fat, flabby, emotional and
kind-heafted, but mush-headed, race
that has preceded us. Universal train
ing will do much to stiffen up, to make
firm-fibered and manly the boys of
America.
"Should you think my opinion of the
boy is undeserved, may I become
personal and state that the character
of my calling has given me opportu-.
nifty to study him closely for more
than few years. He is very bright
sometimes, but he is soft, too fond Of
luxury. and lacks the firm sense of
duty the older generation had"

number of children of school age in
Aberdeen will reach 5000 or more
The census is now being taken and
returns show an increase in every

ment in South Aberdeen where the
work is made difficult because the
foreigners fear that the taking of the

the names of their children.
Mr.. Crary looks for the heaviest
census in the history of the city
Everywhere. except in South Aber

ever before in the history of the city
1t is believed that names will be more
freely given in South Aberdeen when
the purpose of the census is fully un
derstood
The district will receive approxi
mately 500 for every name on the list

every possible effort to have the mum
