STRANGE tales come from the
training camps of the recruits
mobilizing there under the draft. One
is Of Missourian who came equipped
with his old shotgun, because he had
heard the government was short of
firearms. Another is of a Nebraska
county contingent, consisting of about
twice the required quota. The boys
simply wanted to go, and felt that
the commanding officer could use
them, which seems reasonable, if not
exactly military. The boys who went
from the Ozarks of Missouri took
their hounds, and lad just off the
farm brought pumpkin, that he
might have his first pumpkin pie of
the season. These and many other
amusing incidents show the childish
Ignorance of military matters of the
men who are TO make up our new
army. Their lack Of knowledge Of war
and warriors is Of course not surpris-
ing. For years our army has been so
small that many boys have grown
10 manhood without so much as see
ing a soldier, much less becoming IA
miliar with troops and their customs.
They are going into the game now
with much TO learn; about all, in fact,
that there is to learn, and with large
job of fighting out in front.

CURRENT COMMENT.

TT may be particularly displeasinp
to persons who have gloried in Mr.
Roosevelt's retirement from his posi-
ton Of martial vantage, but the news
must be told; Colonel Roosevelt was
the first passenger to ride in the
first liberty motor airplane. Spurned
at the capital, laughed out of court
for his military aspirations, the
colonel is still cheerfully interested
in the business of fighting. If he
can't go to the battle front, he will
stay behind and cheer. A like spirit
of craftsmanship in all of US, whether
or not we are completely having our
own way in these trying times, would
help the country wonderfully.

Root for the boys who are going to

credit because they go to risk their

the mothers will ever know what it
costs their hearts when they have
to give what we call "men" at the
country's call. Men! Yes, they're
manly men, that's right. But let me
tell you that one and all are babies
still in their mothers sight. You and
see the man today, strong and
ready to fight the foe, but the mother
he leaves to watch and pray sees an

the boys who are going to fight, and,

and put word in your prayer tonight
for her whose babe we are sending

COL. ROOSEVELT'S severe indict-
ment of Senator LaFollette is only
too well merited. 1t is true that the
Wisconsin senator has been totally
unable to rise to a patriotic view of
the great war 1t is true that no word
of encouragement has been heard
from him in the prosecution of the
great cause Of civilization against the
enemies of civilization. He should get
out of the senate and stay out. This
is no time for men of such stamp to
be in such places of responsibility,
and the sooner his seditious and near
unreasonable utterances are shut off
the better off the country will be. His
influence and usefulness are ended.

HOW common it is in games of foot
ball, baseball and other sports
that some quick thinking player dash
es off a thrilling play only to fall back
for the remainder of the game into
obscurity and be orgotten--and for
no other reason than that he failed to
follow up. Periodic brilliancy is not
success. Follow up. When you think
a worthy thought, follow it up. When
you strike an effective blow for a
right cause, follow it up. It's the man
with the courage, first to start a
thing, and then to follow it up that
after a while has an accumulation of
points that stamp him great and mas
terful. Follow up or else you will fall
back. The great man is simply the
small man become great. Every
great man at some time or other is
the unknown, obscure man. Make
your life count by compelling every
single effort to figure in the final
summing up. For, after all, success
itself is nothing more or less than
work well performed and followed up
day after day. year after year. Per-
sist, follow up, keep at it.
