best investment any young man could
make.
"Billie, II you will go up to my room
and bring my small handbag, / win
let you see two photographs OF the
same youRg man, showing what only
Ave months Of intensive training on
the Mexican border did for him."
The hag was brought. Uncle Dan,
showing the pictures said: We'll,
here they are. They tell their own
story and it is mighty interesting
one. The young man, before training,
has a discouraged look; he has seen
but little Of the world There was
very little in his surroundings to bring
him out. When he joined the colors
and Uncle Sam took him in charge,
life for him took on a new meaning.
He saw chance to do something and
he something. He woke up. His cap
tain says he Is twice tie man he was
when he joined'the army. This may
be one Of che extreme cases" said
Uncle Dan. II can tell you, though,
that war or no war, no one thing will
do the young men OF this nation so
much good In SO short Il time rs few
months of intensive military trimming.
1t fits man to fight his own life bat
Ties in tile business world as well as
to defend his country and its flag.
NEARLY every civilized country gives
its boys military training. 1t is com
pulsory. 1t is based upon the fact that
It is the duty of everyone to help de-
fend his country; and rs war is now
carried on. no one can do much unless
he is trained. Also. the records show
that the killed and wounded among
unframed troops is nearly three times
as great as Ii Is with wcll-trained men
who know how to fight and how to
protect themselves. BY this plan a
nation has trained men TO defend her
and the individual is a stronger and
better man for the trimming.
III the Chamberlain Bill for Mill
tary Training is passed by congress,
as 1t ought to be. the same thing would
be done for millions OF other young
men throughout the land. Everybody
ought to demand Of his congressman
and senators the passage Of this

The Democrat wants to give its
hearty endorsement to the organ
ization perfected by the ladies of
our town, known rs the Carroll
County Knitting Unit" We are
ready to cooperate with them in
giving publication to the move
ment and its purposes. Our col
unns are open TO them and we
will gladly publish amounts con-
tributed and tile use made Of tile
money,
This is a worthy cause. Our
soldier boys are entitled to all the
comforts that can be offered them.
We who are at home, enjoying the
comforts OF life, should contribute
literally OF our means to make
their lot as bearable, during the
winter months, as possible. The
time has come, too, for action,
there is no time for delay, and by
this time next week, if Carroll
county people are us patriotic as
they should be, these ladies will
have ali the mt ney necessary to
purchase supplies.
Everything you sell brings a
high price. You are enjoying the
comforts of home life, with plenty
al about you, and you will feel
better it YOU will contribute a few
dollars to this worthy cause.
Read the appeal published in
this issue of the Democrat, give it

front US at this time.

THE EFFECT OF DISCIPLINE

HE liz Ell OF DIoC1FLlNE
There are many lessons to b.
learned from the war. The ser
ioushess of the great undertaking
comes home to US in many ways
and when least expected. Among
the grave questions we will, from
time to time, have to consider We
will also find that war has its com.
pensations As aEell.
A story is told in the editorial
columns of the Milwaukee journal
that is we'll worth repeating, be-
cause it illustrates what q marked
effect war training is today having
on our headstrpng boys, who are
now in camp, and who AZ home
lived pretty much as they pleased.
According to the Journal boy
from one Of the training camps
who returned home for q visit
overheard his father ask a younger
son to Tx the furnace. The lad
objected and the father promised
him a quarter il he would obey.
Whereupon the embryo soldier re-
remarked: Father the discipline
in this house is perfectly rotten. "
Here was boy who possibly
never fully understood the value
of discipline, demonstrating with
his father for not more vigorously
exercising the parental authority.
This boy, as a youngster at
home, was, no doubt, as lax in his
obedience as his younger brother
and bis father was possibly as in
efficient as a disciplinarian.
But the boy had served in camp.
He had enjoyed the benefit of mill
itsry training. He had learned
his lesson well, as all boys will
learn it, when they enter camp.
Discipline come first in the army.
An order is issued. 1t is the duty
to obey. You have no time to
ask why such an order is issued or
te.enter a personal protest against
Il. when the order comes you
must execute it promptly, Cheer
fully and effectively. This is the
Rgst principle of military rule. 1t
is the basis of army efficiency,

way and has abused his privilege

boys came home from the Mexican

was surprised to see how straight they
stood and how manly they We're. The
boys seemed proud to wear the uni

hard as nails. heard Banker Haskell
say that the training and discipline
the boys had had was exactly what
every boy in the country ought to
have, and that now these boys could
get better job at higher pay than
they could have had before, DO you
think that's so, Uncle Dan?"
Uncle Dan replied: Il have a
friend who employs hundreds Of young
men. lie always gives boys having
had military training the preference;
he says i pays to do SO. He finds
they are more alert, more prompt,
more courteous; they know how to
carry out orders; they are quicker to

he believed that six or eight months

The community fair last Friday

cess. The crowds were large con-
sidering the unfavorable mornings.
The exhibits we're everything that
could be desired, and showed much
interest in the work. We were
delighted with the community
spirit manifested 1t speaks well
for those communities that par
ticipated. There is nothing that
will benefit this county more than
the development of community
pride and endeavor. Every one
should strive to make his commun-
ity as good as the best. When
this is done the county will de-
veIop along all material lines and
will show a progress in which all
will take n pride. The commun-
ity fair is the thing.
