best investment any young man could
make.
"Billie, if you will go up to my room
and bring my small handbag, 1 will
let you see two photographs Of the
same young man, showing what only
five months of intensive training on
the Mexican border did for him."
The bag was brought. Uncle Dan,
showing the pictures, said: "Well,
here they are. They tell their own
story and it is a mighty interesting
one. The young man, before training,
has q 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 a chance to do something and
be something. He woke up. His cap
tain says he is twice the man he was
when he joined the army. This may
be one Of the extreme cases." said
Uncle Dan. 81 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 time as few
months Of intensive military training.
It fits man to fight his own life bat
ties in the business world as well as
to defend his country and its flag.
NEARLY every civilized country gives
it's boys military training. 1t is COM
pulsory. It is based upon the fact that
it is the duty of everyone to help de-
fend his country; and as 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 it is with well-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 training.
eff the Chamberlain Bill for Mill
tary Training is passed by congress
as it 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
BILL"

Uncle Dan replied: II have a

he says it pays to do so. He finds
they are more alert, more prompt,

A MIGHTY ACHIEVEMENTS
Removes Mountain Barriers Con-
serves the Earth's Treasures.

Mighty indeed-for not alone has the
Milwaukee Road" by its electrical
ton across the Continental Divide (now
being extended through the Cascade
RANGE leveled the mountains as a
barrier to transportation-but hasssalso
released great stores of earth's treas
VI ed energy for other much-needed
purposes.
By utilizing the hitherto wasted pow
er of mountain waterfalls to move the
heavy steel trains across the mountains
of the northwest, there is conserved
annually over quarter of a million
tons of coal, over half million barrels
of oil. and the thousands of cars nee
essary to transport this fuel are freed
to serve other pressing needs of trans
portation.
In this world cricis, when every re-
source of the nation is taxed to its ut
most, this Milwaukee" achievement
takes on extreme Importance.
When next you journey to the cities
of the Pacific Northwest travel the
smooth, smokeless, cinderless electric
way-via the Chicago, Milwaukee &

Morning Glories.

Wild morning glories, like the lilies
of the field, "toil not, neither do they
spin." But though arrayed like Solo,
mon, they are not sought after for
landscape decoration. In the plant
kingdom they are military oppressors,
ousting every other aspirant for vege-
table honors from every acre where
they obtain a footing. Hence has
sprung a strange lawsuit between two
wealthy ranchers in Santa Barbara
county, the one accusing the other of
having seeded his land to these radiant
but hostile flowers.-Los Angeles

TRAIN OVER SLEEPING BABY
Infant Near Ocean City, Del, Was Unhurt and Began to Cry When
 Picked Up.

Whaleyville, Del.-Asleep in the middle of the railroad track, 2-year- old girl escaped injury when a fast train bound to Ocean City passed over 1t.
 The train, running about 60 miles an hour, was in charge of Engineer L. H. Wallace. He did not notice the child until only a few feet away. Brakes were applied, and the trainmen ran back and picked up little Annie Kosh, fully dressed and sound asleep, lying face downward.
 The child had to be awakened and immediately began to cry. Not Il scratch was found on her, notwith- standing the fact that a locomotive and five coaches had passed over her. The child was a member of one of rhe families working Tn a canning fac sorry near Mardela.

 Washington, D. G., Dec. ', 1917 Governor Thomas E. Campbell,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Information has come to this office that large quantities of alcoholic liquors are, by virtue of local law be ing confiscated and destroyed by the state authorities in several of the states. It now appears that this liquor can be re-t tsilled and the pure alco- hol in it thus made available for mili- tary use. The advantages of conserv- ing such use by the federal govern ment, if it can be feasibly done, are of course obvious.
 I wish to inquire, therefore, whether any such liquors are in the possession of the authorities of your state, or whether any such come in due course of law to the possession of such au- thorities for confiscation and, if so, to inquire further whether you and

MINE FIELDS MENACE NORWAY
Ownership of Drifting Agents of De- struction Is Matter of
 Doubt.

Christiana.-Drifting mine fields are reported along the whole Norwegian coast from Listerland eastward. Off HallO, 20 mines were seen drifting north to Christiana fjord, and from Halvo many explosions have been heard.
 The drifting mine fields are sur rounded by a mass of drifting wreck age. Norwegian motor boats have salved many casks of wine, margarine and whale oil.
 The ownership of the drifting mine fields Is a matter of doubt. Certainly nobody is anxious to claim them, for they do not conform to the rules of The Hague convention, which pre- scribes that mines shall be so con- structed that they become harmless when adrift.

Paris.-One place which many Amer fcan soldiers visit in Paris is the Brit ish "Blighty Corner" officially known as the Foyer du Soldat Anglais." It is conducted by group of English and American women as place where Ca nadian, Australian and New Zealand soldiers who cannot go home for their ten days leave may find a welcome. It has all the facilities of an up-to-date club, with perhaps little more of the air of "home" than an ordinary club. Tea Is served every afternoon to all corners by the wives of British officers and there Is every afternoon and eve ming a program of music and enter tainment.

 On the occasion of the duke of Con- naught's visit the cheers of the Cana dian soldiers were so lusty as to of fend the ears of some of the residents of a fashionable hotel in the Place Vendome nearby. They filed a com plaint with the police, but the police replied: "They are authorized to make as much noise as they please. The British soldiers were not told to make less noise when they blew up the mines at Messines."

 It was last April that Governor Campbell decided that much of the liquor thus destroyed might be saved for the Red Cross, and he wrote to the war department in regard to this mat ter and also of the narcotics seized in raids.
 As nothing was heard from his con- munication the governor was of the opinion that 1t had not been given any attention.
 But 1t seems that it had been going the rounds of the various bureaus in Washington. In the governors letter to Washington he said that he was not certain whether this liquor or these use of the Red Cross and the army.
