fourth boy be called upon to serve his
country that the parting would be

His advice to his boys was to be

Enlisted Man Says Service Is No
Place for Them
Henry S. F'lemming OF Bellows Falls
who was physically disqualified from
enlisting in the navy at the local re-
cruiting station this past spring, and
who has been enlisted in Springfield,
Mass. recently, is not to be classed
as associating with criminals for so
enlisting, ii the bureau of navigation
at Washington and the young mans
father have their way.
According to letter which Ensign
G. A. Harris OF Burlington received,
the father wishes to ensign to make
public the fact that the army and the
navy are not reformatoiies for thieves
DESPITE that Judge O'Brien of Bellows
Falls suspended the sentences of two
boys who stole an automobile the 9th
err day provided they would join
either branch OF the service.
"As the parent of an enlisted man.
the letter reads, u would like to ask
the learned Judge how he arrived at
the conclusion that the army and ma
Wy were dumping grounds for such
men, and would also like to ask the
Judge if he thinks it laudable OF just
that our boys who have so nobly CIV
en- themselves to the service of their
country should be compelled to asso-
ciate with the offscourings of our
state prisons. If our cause is just
and noble" the letter reads further,
"as no true lover of justice and rights
doubts that it is, then it is only med
that it should be represented and up
held by upright and honorable types
of our democracy"
II take no issue" says the senior
Mr.. Flemming," with our genial Judge
for his humanitarian motives in the
case of those two boys but we have
an excellent state institution for the
reclamation of our juvenile law break
ers, and our army and our navy have
other and more serious work cut out
for them than that of reforming
criminals"
Mr.. Flemming wrote to Lieut.-Com-
mander e. S. Koos of the United
States navy at the bureau of naviga-
tlOD, navy utJdI intent, NdoluH6 Noi,

ply from this officer in regard to the
action of Judge O'Brien:
Dear Sir:
Replying to your letter of the 18th
inst, addressed 10 the secretary of the
navy and referred by him to this of
fee.
The chief of bureau directs me to
thank you for your expressions re-
garding the moral standards of the
United States navy. The officer in
charge of the navy recruiting district,
Burlington, Vt, took prompt action in
notifying all recruiting officers in
Vermont and neighboring states of the
action of Judge O'Brien and warned
them against accepting the young men
who had been paroled, II appears upon
condition that they would enlist in the
nevy. 1t has long been the navy's
policy not to accept any young men,
who have been found guilty of any
serious offence Every effort is made
by the recruiting service TO prevent
the enlistment of applicants of bad
character: and you may rest assured
that your son Is in good company in
the United States navy
Thanking YOU for bringing this

No Eruptions From Mt. Rainier in
Memory of Man.

Memory of Man.
Mount Rainier is the center of one
of Uncle Sans newest national parks,
to which 1t has given its name. 1t is
living volcano, two craters on its
summit still pouring forth steam and
gas. Although it has had no erup-
tions in the memory of man, at some
time in its history-before 1t was re-
duced to its present comparative do
cility-it gave itself a mighty shake
and blew off some two or three thou
sand feet of the cone which once
formed its crest The mountain as
it Is today has a comparatively fiat
top, which is broken by the two era
tiers, but it bears four SUBMITS. The
highest, Columbia Crest, once
thought to be the highest point in the
Union, reaches an altitude of 14,40S
feet.
Because of the fact that the tenn
perature is always below freezing the
top of the mountain is covered with
drifting SHOWS. The glaciers do not
begin to form till at a point some
1000 below the craters, where the
heat of the sun begins to melt the
drifts. There are six glaciers that
stream away from the summit Cow
litz and the Emmons are the largest
each measuring six miles in length
The Emmons covers eight square
miles of ground and makes a contin-
uous descent from the summit to the
base, the crater rim having almost

An ACRE Of TURNIPS
PAYING INVESTMENT

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct 31.-Here are
some facts and figures showing what
Georgia soil will do as money-mak-
er in the production of food crops
On one-fourth of an acre of turnlps,
John Landon, farmer, of Catoosa couE-
ty, near Dalton, Ga, has sold $120,4
worth, and and still has large sup
ply of turnips left
Even at the present high price of
cotton, it is probable that no other
piece of ground of similar size in
Georgia has yielded a better income
this year than Landon's turnip patch.
1t goes to show the tremendous pos
sibilities of intensive cultivation along
scientific line
The best students of the subject
believe the farm lands of Georgia,
more diversified than any other in the
world, will be the garden spot of the
earth in another generation, when
young men educated to scientific
mthods turn to the soil to make their
fortunes instead of going to the cities.
