oRAToRIcAL CONTEST

The annunal contest held under
the auspices Of the Blue Grass Or
atorical Association, took place at
the Court House in this city March
Both. Delegations came from Paris,
Frankfort and Lexington, which
three cities, together with Mt Ster-
ling, compose the association.
Good speeches we're made by all
the contestants and it was really
difficult for the judges to decide
upon the winner, but the represen-
tative from Frankfort was finally
awarded the handsome gold medal,
which is given annually by Mrs.
Samuel Roberts, of Lexington.
The colored people deserve great
credit for the excellent work being
done in their schools and should be
given every possible encouragement,
both moral and financial.
Quite number of white citizens
attended the contest and were loud
in their commendation OF the efforts
put forth by the principals of the
various colored High Schools to
train their pupils in every branch
that has tendency to make of them
better citizens.

Decorating a Savage.

Florence Particle Stuart, In one of
her delightful tales of the Moro charm
boy, Piang, tells of an embarrassing
situation. Piang had saved the gov
ernor's life at the risk of his own.
"Piang, / am about to decorate you
with the emblem of our government;
these infantry cross-guns | shall pin
on your breast-the dignified governor
reached forward to make good his
words. but paused in embarrassment
the speech dying on his lips. He gazed
in dismay.at the scantily clothed little
savage, standing straight and expect
ant before him.

IA litter among the spectators.
"Piang. eagerly cycling the treasure.
wondered why the governor delayed.
Suddenly Il CLEAN of understanding
broke over Piang, and he grinned
broadly With the tip OF his finger
he touched the shining cross-guns,

"Oh, that's all right said /, Il never
listened to you. old man, and haven't
the least idea OF what you said

up in the smoker again, drunken than

CAMP CUSTER NOTES

Because Of the immensely Of govern
ment business personal conversations
are prohibited on camp phones.
Bishop Kelley is expected to visit
Camp Custer October "a, to dedicate
the first Knights of Columbus build
ing.
1t has been announced by Captain
Tage, in charge of post exchanges,
that no concessions will be granted in
camp.
Because of numerous changes in
camp construction it is estimated the
plant will not be completed before
March /.
Major General Dickman has caused
sign to be erected on camp roads
forbidding a speed in excess of Is
miles an hour
A formal notice has been received
from the war department stating that
no regiment flags will be taken to the
front lines in France.
Special attention Is being paid to
messes in all companies. officers
realize that unless the men are well
fed they cannot fight Only the best
provisions are purchased and the ra-
ton is to balanced that variety Is the
rule
Camp Custer will soon witness the
thrilling realism of "bayonet drill"
Every stage of bayonet battle will
be represented The boys will have
their first drill without weapons, then
with sticks, then with rifles, then with
rifles and fixed baycnets.
Some of the enlisted men are going
to be taken up with a short halt. That
is, some of the regulars who are fail
ing to salute reserve officers on the
downtown streets. They assume SUI
percilious attitude and walk on as II
no officer were III sight.
The neat little ventilators on the
tops of the buildings are being board
ed up. They let the air circulate, but
they also let the flies circulate The
spaces not boarded will be screened.

italians Appeal to Governor.

Governor Sleeper has been appealed
TO on behalf of the Italians of Michi.
gan to get the state department at
Washington to remove a peculiar ban
which hangs over all Italians or sons
OF Italians who enlist in the United
States army or who are drafted for
the national army.
In brief. the United States and Italy
have no treaty by which Italians or
sons of Italians, born in this country,
who serve in the army in America are
exempt from duty in Italy.
Rep. John Deprato, of Iron county.
member of the legislature for years,
acted as the spokesman for the Ital-
ians. and impressed upon Governor
Sleeper and other state officials the
necessity OF having something done by
the state department. A resolution in
troduced last June by Rep. James has
seemingly been lost in congress and
in the general mixup over war at
Washington nothing has happened to
1t.

Board Acts to Avoid Vice Ills.

The question of the social evil in
connection with the cantonment at
Camp Custer has been taken in hand
by the war board, particularly the pres
ence of communicable diseases.
A committee consisting OF Dr. II. M.
Sawyer, of Hillsdales member of the
state board Of health. DR.. A. S.
Warthin of the University of Michi-
gan, DR.. Guy l.. Kiefer, Of Detroit, also
a member of the state board. DR.. c..
G. Parnell, city physician Of Jackson,
and r. M. Olin, secretary and execu-
tive officer of the state board, was
appointed to investigate feasibility of
segregating women afflicted with COM
municable diseases and the possible de-
tention of these women in the univer-
sity hospital at Ann Arbor.
Diseases of immoral cause are legal
ly communicable" and can be quaran
tined. The state epidemic law" also
enables the health board to declare an
epidemic when ii so decides and to
control an infected district and re-
move the victims to a state hospital
1t is not expected that the report will
be forthcoming for some time, but
when it does it will be, acted upon
promptly 1t is realized here that if

Lansing.


More than $4,000 boys from the
Michigan homes came over the top to
Camp Custer last week and, smiling,
laughing and singing, entered upon
the great adventure which lies before
them.
From the time that the first group
arrived, until the hour when the last
strays had been sent to barracks
where warm food and ready cots
awaited them. there was no change
in the sentiment.
Three weeks ago when the first con-
tingent struggled into Camp Custer,
the feature of the day was the enthus-
iasm of the officers. Last week it was
the spirit of men themselves. Suit
cases in one hand, flags in the other,
they toiled and sweated and laughed
and joked, unafraid, unabashed, con-
fident and willing, typical American
youths.
1t was sight that thrilled and
made the heart beat faster. And old
as the men of the regular army are
in the experiences of their service,
even they stood moved by the spec
tacle.
Something had robbed these men of
the feeling of uncertainty with which
their fellows came three weeks ago
Somewhere in the interval that has
passed since they saw their friends
march away, they have gained a new
