WHAT SHALL THAT BOY DO?

Who will tell the boy who reads this
what he will do? When he becomes a
man will he do many things? Will he
write, and so be useful and healthful
in speech, ready in communication
and of strong influence? Say, my boy,
what are you going to do? What you
like to do now you will be likely to
do by and by. Do you swear? Do you
cheat, deceive, lie or steal? Do you
do dishonorable things? Are you dis
respectful to, or do you disobey your
parents and teachers? Remember the
boy makes the man. If the boy is bad
the man will be. Fix it in your mind
which you will be.-Norton News

FROM ANDREW CROFT

Camp Mead, Md, November 14th.
Dear Folks:
Well, / am in the army now, left
Tuesday received very sudden notice
to encamp for Camp Meade. Twenty
one of US had a special pullman
through to Annapolis Junction. We
arrived here Sunday noon about six
hours late. Our trip took US through
the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia
and passed through Harper's Ferry.
Spentesone hour in Washington. We
took all our meals with US. Ask papa
about dry army meal and I'll not
need to tell you any more but we had
one of the best trips I ever had. At
ter we arrived here the boys all re-
embarked, what an enjoyable trip it
was and a fine bunch of young men.
As luck would have it I was picked
different company.
Heard today that they had closed
enlistments to the five companies in
camp. Sunday A and B had review
and were inspected by the big army
men and President Wilson. They then
started for the rifle range at Annapo-
lis and on Monday c, D and E left
for parts Unknown. One pleasant thing
is that there are many college men
in the companies. This camp is for
drafted men but the engineers are
also camped here There is around
10000 drafted men. The engineers
had poem posted the other day about
the drafted man getting all the ban
quets and farewells but the volunteer
just gets the exhaust of the engine
and the creaking of the wheels. But
with all that I'd rather be volunteer.
The 23rd regiment engineers are all
for business. The commanding officer
said, drill hard boys for we must be
ready soon and Uncle Sam is not go
ing to send his engineers over to be
caught sleeping" There is a fine
bunch of boys here from the Kansas
University but none in my company.
Company A is made up mostly of col
lege men. seen them as they were
leaving and just admired them but
never dream't / would be assigned to
them. The officers are mostly all old
engineers.
This camp has a fine Y. M c.. A.
stationed here. I am going to get
some stationary of my own as there
always is such line here to get paper
that get tired waiting. Don't be sur
prised if my writing shall be irregular
as no one knows an hour ahead what
is liable to happen. I keep my sack
ready to go all the time.
Everything is o. K. except it gets
pretty cold toward morning. The grub
is good. Have not used or seen sugar
bowl since have been in the army so
that will just help me out that much.
Your son,

The new war taxes on passenger
tickets, pullman tickets and freight
shipments will mean large amount
of extra accounting work for the tick
ct agents of the Union Pacific system.
According to the records of the
Union Pacific for the calendar year
1916, there were 8,019,6 revenue
passengers carried who paid all told
for their transportation $19,781 ,23O.
On this basis an per cent war tax,
which will have to be collected by the
railroad and turned over to the gov
ernment, will amount to. 81 $50, ,498,
or an average of 1877 cents per pas
senger.
The total revenue collected by the
Union Pacific for freight during the
calendar year. 1916 was S81 ,415 ,858.
This covers both carload and less than
carload traffic. The per cent war
tax which is to be collected by the
railroads Rnd turned over to the gov
ernment on this basis would amount
to $2,442,475.
This will mean that something be-
tween ten or twelve million separate
items will have to be taken care of by
Union Pacific employees in collecting
this government tax, which on the
basis of passenger and freight busi-
ness during the 1916 will amount to
$4,024,973 to passengers and shippers

And then this same man continues:

TO DESTRUCTION

PARIS. Dec. 2s.-It came definitely
known today that the German sub
marine, U-53, which touched at New
port, R. l., more than a year ago,
and then sank a half dozen ships of
the American coast, has been cap
tured by the French, and is at a port
being used by the United States feet.
A destroyer and two mine-sweepers
took the U-boat several weeks ago.
The same captain, Hans Rose, who
paid his respects to Americal naval
officers at Newport, was in command.
The U-53 is now patrolling the sea
daily, and the French lieutenant who
superseded Rose announces he has
sunk two German submarines, whose
commanders, deceived by the familiar
lines OF the Hamburg-built boat, sp-
preached without fear.
Valuable Information was CLEANED
~ the French as the result Of the

One OF the results was the sinking
4 few days later OF five U-boats, as
