gave his current events talk admirably
illustrated by the clever cartoons OF MT
Reck of the officers training camp. In
speaking about the address by Con
gresham Tess of Ohio, member of the
Foreign Relations Committee OF the
house which followed the cartoons
soldier said to one of the secretaries;
THAT speech last night did more to in
spire the fellows to do the business at
hand than six months of training. They
ought to send more of such men to speak
to the fellows" Mr. Fess gave us ex-
intrigue which led up to the entrance of
America into the world war. 1t surely
was a fine treat for the men and they
appreciated it very much.
The general French class which has
been held upon Tuesday and Friday
nights was full of pep and enthusiasm.
After a drill upon the vowel sounds in
few simple sentences in French the new
men evinced the true spirit of Gallant
France in giving enthusiastically NlVe
la France" and Vive PAmerique."
DR.. Milford J. Lyon, one of the ''Y''
men who has been lover there" gave us
q vivid account of his experiences upon
the voyage to England and while in
France. After his account he made a
plain, straight forward appeal for true
manhood in the fight against temptations

Penn state men as well as all who
heard DR.. Sparks give his Illustrated lee

restless one, soon became interested in
DR.. Fess' remarks and stayed with the
speaker through to the end
Saturday night we had a double
header. In the fore part of the even
ing, Rev. Bunker gave a stereoptican
lecture on the subject Of pioneering
in Africa" The interest aroused in
the great continent was indicated by
the questions fired at him from time
to time. His lecture was brought to
close upon the arrival of DIR. Sparks.
the president of Penn State College.
who in his wonderfully attractive man
ner told the boys about the country
where the British under Allenby are
now fighting.
Friends of the building No. 70 from
the Bon Air Hotel have been very kind
to us this past week in donating for
the building use great number of new
and fresh magazines, and a large num-
Der of brand new books This gift by
them is highly appreciated and the
rapidity with which these magazines
and books disappeared is a mighty
token of the favor in which such dona-
tions are received.
On Monday Mr.. Hubert N Dukes,
our genial business secretary, leaves
us to join the u. S. Navy. Mr. Dukes
during his stay of nearly five months
at 70 has made friends that are num-
berless, and expressions of regret upon
his departure are heard on every hand.
We know that No. 70 will miss the
presence If H. N. Dukes, but we be-
lieve that in the active fighting force
of this country he will carry the spirit
of love and loyalty to his Master that
characterized his work with US.
The arrival of new contingents of
ordnance men for the training camp
being established here has resulted in
the setting of new marks in quantity
of mail outgoing. In one mail we sent

Brisbane spoke on the great war situa
ton, and the great struggle ahead of us,
the work of our Allies up to our entrance
into the war, and the standing of Ger
many against the rest of the world. He
very clearly pictured the ambition of the
Kaiser and his desire to become the sixth
great leader of the world, taking as his
five predecessors, Alexander The Great,
Caesar, Theodore, Frederick The Great
and Napoleon. This war, he said, like
all past wars has developed new weap-
ons. In this struggle they have been the
submarine and the aeroplane. The de-
feat of Germany and the downfall of
the kaiser and Prussianism will be
brought about by our civilization, our
gence and by our fleet of "Fords in the
air. Each aeroplane of fifty thou
sand fleet can drop a few hundred
pounds of dynamite on the German lines
each day and do more damage than the
U-boat can in a week.
Nathan Strauss, the celebrated philan-
thropist spoke a few words of good cheer

We're honored in having as our guest
the secretary of state, Robert T. Lans-

inquired into the work that we were
doing. He seemed to be quite delight
ed and was quite enthusiastic about
the work of the Y. M. c. A. for the SOL

On Friday evening we had the fine
five-reel movie, The Law of the North

of No. rs The picture made a dis
tinct hit and in addition we had two
reels of Weekly Events which had been
displayed at the Hut The movies
have been of high order and the sub
jects have been attractive. The new
screen has also been a valuable aid in
making the picture more enjoyable.
Rev. Mr.. Lyon in his talk on We'd
nesday evening gave the boys a new
idea of life in France and what they
will have to endure when over there.
His interesting address closed with a
strong appeal to his hearers to lead a
claener and Turer life. Upon the in
vitation, scores of men came forward
and gave him their hand in testimony
of their new decision in life.

That Solar Eclipse
Ready For Staging

A Former Audrain Boy Advises That
You Do Not Not Get Too Curious
ly Curious.
DR.. ]. B. McCubbin, formerly Of
Laddonia, this county, now located
at Fulton and who is a member of
the State Committee for the Preven-
tion of Blindness, gives some good
hints of how you should take care
of your eyes when the sun "goes
out" next Saturday. Hear him, for
his committee, in the following,
which he has asked The Message to
publish:
On June 9Th there will be a total
eclipse of the sun, visible in this Sec
tion.
Naturally such an event is going
to attract the curious attention of
practically every man, woman and
child.
We take this opportunity to warn
people against looking at the Sun
excepting thru smoked glass or a
developed photograph film, and this
applies when only small rim of the
Sun is visible.
In Europe, in 1912, when there
was an eclipse of the Sun, $500
cases of blindness were reported.
They resulted mostly from viewing
the sun as it emerged from eclipse.
People who used smoked glass dur
ing the progress of the eclipse did
not realize the danger of looking at
the Sun as it emerged. The danger,
however, was as great as looking at
the whole sun.
1t is requested that all exercise
precaution to view any stage only
thru smoked glass or developed pho
to film.

lean in his squadron, having Joined
in February of last year. He has
bagged five German planes. While
carrying bombs for low attack in the
recent offensive he received bullet
thru his left arm, but managed to re-
turn to his own lines. Magoun tells
of companion in his squadron who
had one of the luckiest escapes dur
ing the war. He was put out of ac-
tion at 1, 900 feet in the air when a
bullet perforated his gasoline tank.
He was rendered unconscious by the
fumes and his machine took a nose
dive to earth, but he escaped with

The church societies, the Kings

showing a loyalty that has enabled
the cause to be met, but best of all
is the expression of patriotism in the
daily routine of duty of the teacher
in the school room, the practice of
food conservation by the housekeep-
er, the stimulation of increased pro-
duction in the thrift garden and in
creased acreage, the elimination of
unnecessary expenditures. The in
creasing of efficiency of service by
constant effort has enabled the wom-
en- of Audrain county to buy Bonds
to help oversubscribe quotas and put
Audrain over the top in all patriotic
endeavor.
