GOOD RESULT OF
MILITARY TRAINING

Washington, Feb 22-The military
training camp is the greatest single educat-
ing and character building forcre in the
country today.
This is the substance of statement
that Secretary of War Baker makes in the
introduction he has written for the new
book BY Joseph II. OdelI The New
Spirit of the New Army The book has
just been issued and is the first to he pub
lished on the moral phases Of the soldiers
training in the National Army and Guard
camps.
In his book, DR.. Odcll writes: al would
rather intrust the moral character of nv
boy to camp like Camp Hancock than
TO any college or university ] know. This
does not cast any unusual dark shadow
upon the educational institutions of the
country. but they have never possessed
the absolute power that is now held by the
War Department
Secretary Bakers Endorsement of this
statement is contained in the first SEN
tence of his preface which reads: When
the war Is over and the men and women
of America have had an opportunity 70
obtain a perspective on its conduct and
results, there will be an adequate sppre-

It is likely to be a very
long time before women,
however wide the in
creasing circle of their
interest in other impor-
tant matters, cease to
talk of new clothes at
the opening of each new
season.
The discussion is re-
freshingly concrete and
direct. They are not like
the Scotch suitor who
discussed '1ove in the
abstract" They talk
clothes because they
want clothes.
And they come to the
Down Stairs Store to
buy clothes, whenever
there's a question Of
economy. Women buy
here who literally would
not dare to enter any
other store given over
to the sale of lower
priced articles. They
know that we are as in
terested in maintaining
our standards as they
are in maintaining
their appearance.
A frumpy or shOddy
garment is a far lC0rse
advertisement for the
store that sells it than

lrears it. For she isn't
compelled to lredr it,
lchiLe the store cannot
shake off the stigma on
its service.
CLOTHES are a very
~ important matter,

When some one accused
the French of "wear-

We all wear our
clothes on the outside,
and, as it were, an
nOunce ourselves with
them.
Take the top-coat, the
most outside garment of
all. By the swing and
the hang and the set and
the style and even the
stuff of the top-coat you
wear, strangers will
judge you - and one
does care what they
think.

NORTHWEST POWER
CO. IS HARD UP

1t seems 40 though Bowbells 10
doomed to be without dependable
electric light plant, and those busd-
ness men who made the mistake Of
disposing of their vapor light sys-
TENS are now realizing that it 10 up
to them to provide themselves with
some sort Of light systems other
than electricity. During the past
year or more, or since the North,
west, Power Co. took charge of the
local plant we have been given some
real rotten service, and all kinds Of
excuses were given US, and various
reasons were advanced to show that
fault because the town was in dark
ness. Now q new reason and un-
pardonable one Is given. Last
Thursday night the plant did not
turn a wheel for the reason that the
local manager was not provided with
any kerosene with which to run the
engines. LOCAL business men had
advanced money with which to bay
kerosene on several occasions, but
did not feel like continuing to do
SO, and the Northwest Power Co.
was not doing anything about 1t. A
hundred gallons were obtained
somewhere Friday. and for three
nights the plant did business again.
Last Tuesday night the local man
ager again announced that he was
out OF kerosene, and would not be
able to run the plant that night, ana
at about six O'Clock In the evening
Mayor ]. w. Moore bought another
hundred gallons so the city would
not be in darkness that night. All
this time the promoters who own
the plant have been >doing nothing
toward furnishing the local plant
with kerosene, but have instead
been spending their time In. getting
out financial statements showing
how many millions Of dollars they
were worth, and have no doubt been
endeavoring to sell more stock In
their corporation so they would be
able to pay themselves big salaries.
There cannot be any other excuse
for. lack of kerosene at the plant
except the fact that the million dol
lar corporation hasn't got the small
sum of money which is necessary
in buying this fuel The local
Standard Oil station always has
thousands OF gallons or kerosene ON
hand, and is always ready to deliv-
er same. but will not do 80 unless
such fuel is paid for when it is de-
livered. The patrons Of the local
plant wish that IL the corporation is
so hard up that 1t Is unable to fur
nish the plant with kerosene. It
would let eus know SO we could efth-
er make 1t small loan, or else 20
back to the ole. vapor systems. Tho
people here are sick and tired of the
new management. We are not
blaming the. local manager in any
way, as he is doing the best he can.
The big guns. the promoters OF this
million dollar corporation, are to
blame, but we no doubt will get
some more kerosene after they arc
able to sell more stock In their con-
cern. -@ss
