best investment any young man could
make.
"Billie, if you will go up to my room
and bring my small handbag, l will
let you see two photographs of the
same young man, showing what only
five months Of intensive training on
the Mexican border did for him."
The bag was brought. Uncle Dan,
showing the pictures, said: swell,
here they are. They tell their own
story and it is a mighty interesting
one. The young man, before training,
has a discouraged look; he has seen
but little of the world. There was
very little in his surroundings to bring
him out. When he Joined the colors
and Uncle Sam took him In charge.
life for him took on a new meaning.
He saw chance to do something and
be something. He woke up. His cap.

when he Joined the army This may
be one Of the extreme cases." said
Uncle Dan. II can tell you, though,
that war or no war, no one thing will
do the young men Of this nation so
much good in so short a time as few
months Of intensive military training.

ties in the business world as well as
to defend his country and its flag.
"Nearly every civilized country gives
its boys military training. 1t is COM
pulsory. 1t is based upon the fact that
it is the duty of everyone to help de-
fend his country; and as war is now
carried on, no one can do much unless
he is trained. Also, the records show
that the killed and wounded among
unframed troops is nearly three times
as great as 1t Is with well-trained men
who know how to fight and how to
protect themselves. By this plan a
nation has trained men to defend her
and the individual is a stronger and
better man for the training.
'If the Chamberlain Bill for Mill. !
tary Training is passed by congress-
as it ought to be, the same thing would
be done for millions of other young
men throughout the land. Everybody
ought to demand of his congressman
and senator's the passage of this
BILL"
"All right, Sir. exclaimed Jimmie, we
will see Judge Brownell, Mr.. Haskell,
and Professor Slocum, and get them
busy"

WELL said Jimmie, II was down to
Galesburg few months ago when the
boys came home from the Mexican
border: They looked fine. Everybody
was surprised to see how straight they
stood and how manly they were. The
boys seemed proud TO wear the uni

hard as nails. heard Banker Haskell
say that the training and discipline
the boys had had was exactly what
every boy in the country ought to
have, and that now these boys could
get a better job at higher gay than
they could have had before. Do you

Uncle Dan replied: 81 have
friend who employs hundreds of young
men. He always gives boys having
had military training the preference;
he says it pays to do so. He finds
they are more alert, more prompt,
more courteous; they know how to
carry out orders; they are quicker to
think and to act than those without
training. He said from his experience
he believed that six or eight months
of intensive military training would
add at least 20 per cent to a mans

How War Methods Have Changed
Everybody Must Help.

@Hello. Uncle Dan. Jimmie and I
have been waiting for you"
Sorry If have kept you long," said
Uncle Dan. "Your mother has been
telling me how bashful l used to be.
She saidif a girl spoke to me ! would
blush to my hair roots. Well, re-
minded her of the time your father
first came to see her and the joke we
played on them, so guess that win
hold her for a while"
Continuing, Uncle Dan said: You
want to talk more about the war, do
you? Well. war methods have under
gone many changes and they are still
changing. No two wars are fought
alike. In early times, the weapons were
stones, clubs, spears, bows and arrows,
swords, etc. In this kind of warfare,
victory was with the strong right arm.
Men of enormous size and strength
were the great warriors. The inven-
ton of gunpowder, however, has
changed all this. 1t has enabled men
TO kill one another at a considerable
distance, and do ii wholesale. The
war, as we know it now, is combina-
tion of chemicals, machinery, mathe-
NAUTICAL calculations and highly trained
men. Just think Of it! AirplaneS,
submarines, armOred tanks, or cater
pillars, poison gases, and curtains OF
fire are all used for the first time in
this war; and they are destructive be-
yond anything heretofore known.
"The methods followed by the kali
ser and his allies are simply dexilish.
He must answer in history to the kill
ing of thousands of innocent women
and children. He has broken every
international law and every rule of
warfare; he has bombarded hospitals
and undefended cities, sunk Red Cross
ships on errands of mercy; he has de.
strOyed cathedrals and priceless treas
lures of art that can never be replaced;
ne mas made slaves or MS prisoners,
he has tried to get us into war with
Japan; his emmissaries have blown up
our ships, burned our factories and
fred our forests. He knows no mercy
or honor The most charitable view
to take Of this blood-thirsty tyrant
is that he is crazy.

lutte overthrow Of the kaiser and

Acting under instructions from the Commercial club, Secretary Joseph, in the name of the Arbor Day committee has forwarded the following letter to Superintendent Snodgrass, of the Fairbanks experi- ment farm, with view to obtaining information which will be of value to the residents of Nenana when tree planting time arrives:
 "At a recent meeting of the Ne mana Commercial club, it was de- cided that the planting of trees in the streets of the town, for decora- tive purposes and otherwise, should be encouraged to the utmost; and accordingly, the townsite manager, Mir. F. s. Ryus, has agreed to nomin- ate a certain day in May as Arbor Day.
 "The planting of birch and poplar trees is chiefly contemplated and, so that we may achieve the best possible results, the club is asking you, if you will be so kind, to in struct us in the approved manner of planting trees. It has ben sug- gested that an educative article be published shortly prior to Arbor Day, and we think that the instruc- tions received from you would be of greatest value for embodiment in this article"
