STUDENTS TRAINING CORPS

Three men from the high school have
ing corps. They are jesse Peabody,
Wesley Curtis and J. L. Mickey, prin-
cipal of the high school. These men
left Tuesday for training in Denver
University.
The opening of the colleges and uni
versities for the fall term has brought
this branch of the service into the lime
light. The service is devised to pro-
vide training for men of college age,
and at the same time enable them to
continue their education. To this end
the war department has entered into
contracts with the various institutions
of the country whereby these institu-
tions are to provide training for reg
Grants OF lae last 3rHft. and fit them
for useful service during and after the
war.
In this state six institutions are offer
ing their services to the government.
The State University will train 800
men; Colorado College will train 400,
Denver University $50 and all other
schools of the state in proportion to
their facilities and equipment. To en-
ter this branch of the service one must
have at least 10 units of high school
work, and to enter the university of
the state he must have high school
graduation. Other schools do not insist
on this point.
Those inducted into the service
through the 8. A. T. G. will be givrn

Influence on Children.

As for moral influences In the home,
1t Is the words the child hears US
speak. the things he sees us do which
will have the greatest effect on his ma.
ture, such as respectful care and ten.
der affection toward the grandmother.
the grandfather, the aunt, the uncles.
our attitude toward those in our en-
ploy. etc. Family festivals will make
ever glorious Impressions on the
child's mind, states a student Of hu-
man nature.
The spirit of charity should per-
meate the home. The little child is
too young to know how to help the
less fortunate, but he will imbibe the
home spirit and with his growing un-
derstanding adopt the ideals by which
he Is surrounded.
Above all other influences the most
telling is that which the parents Gre
ate by means of their relationship to
each other. II peace reigns supreme
and father and mother live as one,
having a deep, true, earnest affection
for each other, facing together the
Joys and sorrows, and supplementina
each others strength at every turn.
there is no greater legacy parents can
leave their children than the inliu-
ence and memory Of such q homo.

The fire alarm was sounded early
Wednesday morning and the fire lad
dies soon found that they were again
being called to the Commercial restau-
rant which was found to be on fire
for the 'steenth time. The grease in
the tin ventilator in the kitchen had
taken fire and as the woodwork was
built right up against this ventilator
shaft it was soon ignited and the
flames were spreading rapidly when
the boys arrived. The fire, which was
confined to the restaurant building,
was soon extinguished, and it is now
up to the insurance companies to settle
the damage with the owner, the estate

French Rejoice; Americans in Line.
Americans were sent to the big front
not long after the battle began. Off

made. Publication of the fact caused
a feeling of exultation to sweep over
France. Everywhere one could hear
the French saying:
America is now in the line!"
Americans had been in the front line
long before that, but not in the front
line Of the biggest battle of the war.
The French newspapers commented
widely on the matter and later gave
great prominence to the statement of
General Pershing that anything Amer
lea has is at the disposal of France
for what use she wishes to make Of it.
This was regarded by France as the
most generous and patriotic offer ever
made by one nation to another. The
people OF France are overjoyed. They
never feared the result Of the big bat
tie now going on. Possibly they wor-
ried sometimes about the capacity Of

required to give the Germans the lick

flushed with optimism and confidence,
and they are swelled with pride and a
