Dear Mother
Navy life with me has gone up 100
per cent since / arrived at Dunwoody.
We left Great Lakes Thursday morn
ing at SOL and completed our jour
ney at 1890 the same day. Wiscon-
sin is far more beautiful than I had
imagined. I passed through Devils
Lake and that surely is quite a re-
sort. One can see the real efforts of
the old glacier, piles and piles of rocks
which seem almost like mountains.
1t was dark when we crossed the Miss
issippi so did not see much on that
particular incident. While coming UP
we ate on the diner and at Madison re-
ceived a box lunch; both were fine
and dandy! [ saw Roger and Fred
at Madison; | happened to stick my
head out the window only to meet
that great surprise to see them. Shook
hands with them and had a short talk.

that I wouldn't care to come home,
but there will be lots of opportunities

we would rate SO hours at the end Of

reason, hence maybe some time III

And now about the boat (where I

1t is wonderful mansion on the
shore Of small lake named Calhoun.
It is private club and given over to
the "Jackies" through sheer gener-
Osity. On the outside a stucco affair
with vines creeping over the entire
building. In front is large shield
bearing the inscription "Dunwoody
Naval Club" while on the inside it is
equal to any private home-hardwoo
floors, great massive chandeliers,
fire-places, piano and all kinds Of
musical instruments, therefore plenty
of music; books and magazines in
limitless quantities. Oh yes we have
cast our hammocks away and sleep
on cots now. I was really getting to
like the old hammocks but a cot feels
good too. We are in one large room,
sleeping and eating down at school.
Eats here are far superior to those
down at the Great Lakes station.
All in all it is one grand place. The
officers said as long as we behaved
ourselves we would receive royal
good time and an education from one

AN INDUSTRIAL ARMY
EXPERT MECHANICS OF EVERY
DESCRIPTION ASKED TO ENROLL
AT ONCE.-THE PARTICULARS.
U. s. PUBLIC SERVICE RESERVE.
AND U. S. SHIPYARD VOLUNTEERS

AS the name implies, the United
States Public Service Reserve is not
an agency to secure immediate en-
ployment for it's members. 1t aims to
have on hand a reserve of available
men who, while staying at their posts
in the industrial life of their country,
stand ready to go, when the govern
ment notifies them that they can be of
greater service elsewhere.
The best place for most men is
where they are. Their duty is fully
performed if they enroll for service,
and keep on working at their tasks
until the government wants them for
something else, and then respond to
the call.
In asking men to change employ
ment, the government will do so only
after consideration of their present
employers and the kind of industry
IL which they are now engaged.
Any man who can devote his work
to his country for adequate compen-
sation, is wanted as a member.
The greatest immediate need is for
skilled mechanics who have some
special training in their trade
Every skilled mechanic in Grant
county should enroll at the first OPP
portunity It is his duty to his gov
eminent as we'll as himself.
Any man who enrolls as a member
of the U. S. Public Service Reserve
may also join the U. S. Shipyard vol
unteers by signing the postal card
addressed to Mr.. Hurley and mailing
same to him.
Whenever a member is notified of an
opportunity to work in a shipyard or
other industry, he will be informed as
to all details concerning location,
wages, terms and conditions of trans
portatiOn.
1t will then be entirely voluntary
with him whether or not to accept
the position.
The only obligation is that he will
leek at it in a patriotic way and with
a view as to the needs of the nation
To join the u S. Public Service Re
serve is an easy, loyal way for the
industrial workers of Grant county
to get in line and help in the Big
Push.
Get card and fill it NOW. See
your nearest enrolment agent.
The following men are appointed
as local enrolment agents:

A BIG HOME TRADE DRIVE.

The Herald has contracted for
twenty-six weeks cooperation with
the Debs Advertising Agency Of Chi
cago, by which an interesting article
will appear each week.
These articles are written by men of
nationwide mercantile reputation, and
are very rare. This service, however,
was made possible by a coterie of
business men of Lancaster whose ads
appear in connection with the article
each week. Read the little ads over
and see who are the live wires in our
town today. Read them over and see
who are the men that are trying to
make veritable bee hive of our town
that YOUR property valuation there
by will be materially enhanced
Last but not least do not fail to read
these enlightening articles each week.
They are interesting and educational
and should make up a part and parcel
of everybody's knowledge

MANY ARE DEFECTIVE
OF SCHOOL NURSES
Observation-Disclosures
HAVE SOLEMN DUTY.

Miss Martha Erdman, the nurse sent
out by the Anti-Tuberculosis Associ-
alton, has completed her examination
OF the children of the public schools
OF Lancaster. Her service for the
city were secured from the associa-
ton because of the large number of
Christmas Seals which were sold
through the direction and work of Mrs.
j. c. DOOlittle and Mrs. Ed. Morse.
Miss Erdman completed her work for
our schools in about a week and a
half, examining every child who was
in school at the time she was here.
On account of the prevalence of
mumps and minor ailments there was
considerable absence during that
time, so there are some children who
were not examined.
Following is a summary Oh what
was found in the physical condition Of
our pupils:
Compilation of Report Of School Nurse
In the grades:
Anaema-10 cases.
Defective hearing-1.
Defective nasal breathing-40.
Defective teeth-105
Defective speech.
Defective visiOn-33.
Enlarged glands-3; 2 of these
gOitre.
Enlarged tonsils-77
Malnutrition-3
OrthOpedic defects-1.
Symptoms of cardiac disease.
Symptoms Of nervous diseases.
Symptoms of skin disease.
No. of grade pupils showing no de-
fects-78.
In high school:
Defective visiOn-43.s
Enlarged tonsils-22
Adenoids-2.
Goitre-5.
No. of high school pupils having
these defects-62.
No. of high school pupils showing
none Of these defects 88.
AS far as numbers of these defect
i've cases is concerned, there is of
course some overlapping. For exam
pie, one child in the grades has de-
fective hearing, defective nasal breath
ing, defective teeth, defective vision
and enlarged tonsils; another child
has anaemia, defective vision and
symptoms Of cardiac disease; another
has defective nasal breathing, defect
i've vision, enlarged tonsils and symp-
toms Of cardiac disease, etc. 1t is.
true in the majority Of cases that pup
lis having defective teeth have en-
larged tonsils,. also.
Notices have been sent to all par
ents Of pupils who were found de-
fectiYe in any Of the respects as de-
termined by the examination of the
nurse. 1t is hoped thai tNore may be
large number Of parents who will
see that those physical defects are
corrected; it is of course entirely OPP
tional with the parents as to whether
or not this is done. However, it does
seem incredible that any parent in
this age OF enlightenment would neg
lect the welfare Of child in respect
to bad teeth enlarged tonsils or ade-
noids, or any other physical ailment.
One lesson we are learning from this
war is that vastly more attention
must be paid to the physical condition
of our young people. Let's begin to
do it now of our own initiative, and
not wait until the government forces
us to do so. ***

different from the expense of fore

from fifty dollars and ten per cent up.
Also, Mr.. Higgins, in his criticism
of the amendment, states that under
this amendment the property owner
will not have even the poor privileg,
of having the circuit Judge review the
sale and see that the property has
brought fair price. On the con-
trary under the amendment the pro-
cedure will be practically identical

one side and closing on the other,
making street of uniform length. I'M
dor the present Charter it is doubtful
whether the City has that right. I
understand certain right-of-ways
around lakes cannot be obtained un-
less this amendment goes through be-
cause property owners do not care to
give a forty-foot street when they
have already given a street immedt-
ately joining, but will gladly give 40
feet or sixty feet in the right loca-
ton if they are given back that which
they have given before, and they can't
be blamed I feel that this amend
nent will go through.
The last is the matter of tax col
lections. Lakeland's tax collections in
the past have been slow and bad and
this entailed hardship upon the
town generally and the taxpayers who
really paid. Because It takes Ger,
/ tain amount to run the town. If this
lis not collected and the amount is
charged off for uncollected taxes, then
the mileage is raised and those who

no hardship is worked upon those
who pay and the tax dodgers are
spurred UP by the knowledge that
they must pay. And YOU will note the
limitation as to expenses. This amend
ment will insure to the town q safer
quicker, better, and, IN the long long
a cheaper method of tax collection.
This method or such similar methods
are in effect in most Of the towns Of
the State, including Barlow Fort

many other local towns.
