man he can get more. A boilermaker
gets $71.50, coppersmith $60.50. black
smith $55, plumber and steamfitter
$3.50, shipwright $3.50. hospital ap-
prentice $22, fireman 500. These are a
few Of the trades on first enlistment.
Then there is an increase in pay for
re-enlistment and other advantages to
be secured for increased pay.
Warrant officers. to which any man
can aspire, get very good pay. A boat
swain draws an average Of $4,000 per
year, gunner, $4,000, machinist, $4,000,
carpenter, $1,000, pharmacist $1,000, pay
clerks $1,000.
Among the commissioned officers an
ensign draws an average Of $4,000 and
a full lieutenant an average Of $4,000
per annum.
With the scheme of increased pay
for re-enlistments and other advantages
to be taken any man with the average
mental ability and good physique
can make the navy a business with a
competency that is hard to equal in
civil life.
The navy is also a great school.
Training is given and there are AL
ways classes under competent instruc-
ton for training men in a trade and
for instructing them in an educational
way. If man wants good instruction
he can go to the navy and get 1t. He
can then remain in the service or go
out again into civil life better equipped
for making livelihood than when he
went into 1t.

Navy Service Gives All
Classes of Citizens An
Opportunity in Own Line

which requires as much skilled work
as any of the smaller city newspapers.
Again there is need of men skilled in
the handling and repairing of automo-
biles, men skilled in the gas engine
and in motor boats and stationary en-
gines. The navy has places for every
kind of skilled labor, for business men
and men skilled in purchasing and
securing provisions and in knowing
how to work these provisions into food
There is also demand for men skilled
in no particular trade or profession.
AS warrant officer of the navy
here said. IF man is in doubt about
his mental, manual or physical ability,
all he has to do is to apply for enlist
ment in the United States navy and he
can soon remove that doubt.
With the modern battleship and the
auxiliaries and naval stations the navy
has places open to men the same as
any large city has. The navy will find
out what a man can do best and then
put him to doing 1t with the chance
Of good advancement and the certainty
that his future will be cared for II he
makes good.
There is a wonderful chance in the
navy for advancement and the pay is
excellent.
A young man need not always be a
seaman or a warrant officer in the
navy. He can get to be commissioned
officer and with ability can rise to the
highest rank in the service.
Every year there are 100 men who
can try for Annapolis, the United
States military academy. Any young
man under 20 years of age who
has had one year of sea service may
try for appointment. These cardi-
dates are examined and a maximum
Of 100 may be appointed to the naval
academy by passing this examination.
But If the man is not under 20 years
Of age he still has a chance to become
a commissioned officer. After having
seven years Of sea service he can take
an examination and on passing become
an ensign. He may also serve six
years as a chief warrant officer and
then receive the rank and pay of a
Junior lieutenant. A warrant officer
after six wears may become an ensign.
With twelve years service as warrant
officer a man may become a full lieu
tenant. He can get a commission in
any of these ways If he is not over
25 years of age when his necessary
service is completed.
The pay in the navy is good. When
a man enlists he is sent to a naval
training station and begins drawing
$3.50 per month and If he Is trades

WILD RICE
CASE NOT
RE-OPENED
Supreme Court Refuses Pc
tition for Rehearing in
School Removal.

The Wild Rice school district case
from Cass county, which involves
good many ticklish points concerning
sectarian control or influence in pub
lie schools and other matters, is dead
so far as the supreme court is con-
cerned. A motion for rehearing was
denied Saturday.
The Wild Rice district electors vot-
ed to move the school from the public
school building into structure owned
by a church society and located in inn
mediate proximity to the church and
parochial school Of this society. One
member of the school board declined
to turn over the school property, when
an effort was made to make the trans
fer, and the two other members appeal
ed to the courts. The supreme court
decided the school could not be moved,
and it now declines to again consider
the litigation.

New Farm Loan Business
by Washington Correspondent Of

Washington, April 9. - Announce
ments that the rate of interest on the
new farm loan mortgages would prob
ably be per cent for the entire sys-
tenn, regardless OF the locality where
the land offered as security might be
located. give an interesting light upon
the policy to be pursued in developing
the new farm loan system. The &C
ton taken has been decided upon only
after careful inquiry. it is reported,
involving the compilation of compare
tive figures showing present invest
ments in farm loans in various parts
of the country. The question of rates
of interest on both mortgages and
bonds has been regarded by many as
the fundamental one in connection
with the development Of the new sys-
tenn and is certainly Of chief interest
to the borrower.
Figures For Farm Loans.
Following is the compilation believ-

It viii be noted that the largest Vol
ume of loans has been placed in those
states. like New York, Iowa, Missouri
and a few others. that are good agri-
culturaIly. and in which the large sup
ply of loans has comparatively reduced
the rate OF interest to relatively low
level. There are some exceptions,
such as Texas. where rates are high,
but the volume Of loans lis large, new
ertheIess. Texas Is very large state,
which Is not fairly comparable with
some OF the others. On the whole. II
would seem that large investment and
relatively low rates go together.

INSANE MEN KNEW SNOW AT ONE TIME

Representative c. k. Snow, of Ru. by, heard Thursday that an old acquaintance of his.

Lappin, 1t appears, had come to be. lieye strongly in an orange ranch in California and a strange double.joint. ed dog that he owned" so much so that he was committed to Morning. side asylum for treatment.
 Reaching Juneau. Lappin inquired for Mir Snow. Mr. Snow heard of 1t and went to see him. Lappn met him cordially an dtalkcd with him on many subjects. They dis cussed some of the oldtimers of the lower Yukon, what they were doing and how they were getting along. Lappin's talk was perfectly normal.
 Finally Mir. Snow started to leave. He bid Lappin goodbye, and just as he was leaving Lappin remarked to him:
 Well, solong, Mir. Snow is com. ing down to see me tomorrow"
