Canadian Call TO COIOrs.

OTTAWA, Ont-The call to the
colors Of 19-year old men has met with
most gratifying result and up to the
present some $1,000 men of this age
have registered for military service, a
very large proportion of whom will
rank for active service overseas. While
it was at first believed they would be
called up on July 1, it is now consid-
cred that September or October will
be early enough to requisition them.
1t appears there is some difficulty over
the limitations of the Military Service
Act. This act only empowers Parlia-
ment to call up 100000 men. Any
amendment to this, by way OF increas-
ing the number, would have to be
made by Parliament and not by an
order-in-council. The military authori-
ties believe that after certain deduc-
tions in the way Of duplicates" and
so forth have been made, that 1000
recruits have been obtained under the
Military Service Act, leaving $4,000
still to be secured under that measure.

SOLDIERS WELFARE

A thousand dollar soldiers enter
tainment fund has been raised in Co.
-lumbia You may have given dollar
but that doesn't release you from
further giving.
One of the best methods of soldiers
welfare work is to have two or more
of the men in training at your home
for Sunday dinner. Don't make these
329 Missouri boys eat their mess Sun
day moons at the Commons, but phone
Captain Yant and say Captain Yant,
this is Mrs. Thoughtfulness, would
like to have two Of your boys at my
home to dinner each Sunday while
they are here, not the same two, mind
you, but different ones each time. VIII
you pick out two to send me Sunday?
And by the way, Mrs. Follow-after
next door would also like two each
Sunday"
A Columbia boy wrote sometime ago
Mother, haven't had a Sunday din
ner in camp since I've been here but
have been invited out in town every
single time. 1 tell you l. treats
a fellow right and l am sorry to leave
here"

In this country in times of peace a
man counts if he cares to. These are
war times and men who are not in
terested in doing their part are being
looked after. We are having our
chance to volunteer with our money
If we are slackers it will be taken.
If the government is justified in COM
Wandering men for the army it GER
tainly is justified in Communicating
the necessary money to see that their

THE MINEOLA HILLS

The Mineola Hills are no longer a
liability to the Old Trails Road, but a
decided asset.
Once bugaboo, they are now pleas
ing to tourist travellers. They provide
a break in the monotony of prairie
journeys, and afford glimpses of most
charming landscapes. No more at
tractive scenery may be found between
st. Louis and Kansas City, on any
state road, than can be found at Mine
ola. The hills on the west of Loutre
Creek have been graded so as to re-
move any difficulties; while the road
on the east has been changed so as
to shorten and lessen the grade ap-
preciably.
He who objects to the Mineola Hills
hereafter merely shows his ignorance
of conditions at this famous and his
toric spot.

THE COMMENCEMENTS OF 1918
Colleges Show Themselves Closely In
Touch With Outside World.

The significant thing about the dom
nation of the commencements of 1918
by the war is the form that domina-
ton took. 1t was to be expected that
the outstanding fact of the hour would
be the outstanding topic among men
of books and test-tubes as among all
other kinds of men. The notion of
college halls as out of sight and hear
ing of the great world is pretty thor
oughly exploded. Sometimes one is
tempted to think that they would be
none the worse for being just little
further off the main road. This close
ness to the sphere of action is re-
sponsible for the character of this
years commencement addresses. They
do not enable one to say that we can
look to the colleges Unfortunately
for light and leading. Rather, they
force the conclusion that we can look
to- the colleges for almost anything.
Wild and whirling words are to be
found among those spoken to college
men and women, as well as words of
truth and soberness. This is part of
our democracy, and it would be idle
if not unpatriotic to quarrel with it.

FOOTBALL PLAYER FATALLY IN.
JTIRED

Michael Jankowsky, a sailor, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Jankowsky,
1417 West Main street, died at 10
o'clock Sunday night at the home of
his parents from injuries sustained
Sunday afternoon while playing foot
ball. He was knocked down and rem
dered unconscious and died without re-
gaining consciousness. 1t is believed
that his skull was fractured at the
base of the brain.
The accident occurred in the game
OF the Owosso Independents against
the Lansing Maroons at Athletic park.
Only minutes remained to play when
it occurred Lansing had the ball and
Owosso was on the defensive. Jank-
owsky was playing tackle, and accord
ing to John Gazella, the referee, when
the ball was snapped, Jankowsky, see
ing the Lansing runner trying to skirt
left end, raced across to tackle him.
A Lansing player blocked Jankowsky
off and the latter fell backward, strik-
ing his head on the ground.
Jankowsky was "a years of age and
previous to enlisting in the 32nd regi-
ment infrmary was employed at the
Malleables and at the stove factories
in this city. Later he enlisted in the
navy and has been at Great Lakes
training station. He was very popular
in the shops, in the infrmary and navy
and his death is most sincerely mourn
ed. He was an athlete of ability.
The funeral was held at st. Pauls

PROCLAMATION

One of the greatest problems con-
fronting the American people today
is the great destruction of property by
fire and these losses have increased
to an alarming extent. During the
year 1917, the losses by fire in Michi-
gan exceeded the sum of $10,000,O 900
and in the United States the losses
were approximately $275,000,0O0,
which is nearly $500 per capita for
each man, woman and child in the
country.
These great financial losses thus
impair American financial resources
at timeAwhen war conditions call for
the utmost retrenchment and thrift
and in keeping with the spirit of con-
servation earnestly request that all
efforts of prevention Of fire shall be
aided and ! do, Therefore, Proclaim
Saturday, the Second Day of Novem-
Der, Fire Prevention Day
and urge all citizens of the state to
<properly observe the day by thorough
" inspecting their premises and re-
moving causes which would permit
needless confIagration.

D CLOSED AFTER 6 PM.

an order this morning closing
at six o'clock every evening all
business pla"es in the city
except drug stores-all lodge
rooms, all church services, pub
lie gatherings of every descrip-
ton and kind, including places
of amusement, until further
notice on account of the prev
alent influenza. The matter
of closing the schools is still
under consideration and at
noon today had not been def
nitely decided but action will
be taken before school opens on
Monday next. 1t is taken for
granted that the people of the
city will cheerfully comply with
the order and thus help to
stamp out this plague which is
sweeping over the entire coun-
try with many resultant deaths.
Do your Saturday trading in
