Adviser to Explain
Vocational Training

The following quotation is taken
from letter from Major General
William H Johnston, C. O., Camp
Lewis, regarding the opportunities
now open to young men who enter
the U. S. military service. News
bulletins will be published from tmie
to time telling of the experience Of
Camp Lewis with the new army edu-
cational system:
Authority has been received from
the war department to initiate edu-
cational and vocational training at
this camp, in addition to the mill
tary training received. Any young
man wishing to enlist is permitted to
choose the arm Of the service in
which he cares to enlist. Any SOL
der serving in whatever arm is
permitted, not required, to undertake
educational or vocational training
three hours daily during five days of
the week. 1t is believed that this
educational opportunity, furnished
young men who have not yet entered
college or learned trade, will in
duce~a large number of young men,
unmarried, to enter the army for the
purpose of either increasing their
earning capacity after discharge, or
for the purpose of entering college
in higher grade than he would
otherwise enter. This educational
advantage is in addition to the other
privileges accorded soldiers of the
army. The present pay and allow
ances, such as clothing subsistence,
quarters, medical attention, dental
treatment life insurance, etc., are
Usually estimated at 500 per month.
This improvement in the character
of citizenship of those young men
who served during the war must have
been noted by readers of your paper.
The same improvement may be
gained by other young men who have
Tot yet served in the army"

ADVICE TO FARMERS

Make arrangements to do all the

Plan to silo all the beet tops and
every 6ther green thing you can.

in condition for growing fall pasture
and ready for fall blowing and spring
seeding. Land that goes into the
winter dry, may not be In condition
to sprout seeds next spring tt.

L. Whiting Estes, whose income
from a mail order medicine business
today exceeds $500, 900 yearly, at one
time was a doctor for dogs and cats.
That was long time ago. however.
when Estes was a barefoot boy on a
North Carolina plantation. He made
colorful, and, from a boys conception
of things. effective-looking concoctions
of brick-dust. powdered rocks and
other substances. and firmly believed
in their efficacy to cure the sundry
ills of dogs and cats.
If fortune had not denied him the
opportunity to learn the profession,
Estes would have been a physician
and surgeon. All his life this work
had appealed to him.
His interest in it is largely respon-
sible for the fact that today he is
engaged in a branch of the medical
business.
Estes is known more widely here
for his Masonic connections than as
a business man. Though he became a
member of that fraternity only six
years ago he has been potentate of
Almas Temple for four years and
claims membership in as many Ma
sonic orders and clubs, probably as
any Mason in Washington.
Here is an incomplete list OF them:
Almas Temple, Temple Moves. No. 81;
Washington Council No. l; Royal Sc
lect Masters; Columbian Command
cry. No. ., X. t; Ancient and Ac-
cepted Scottish Rite OF the Southern
Jurisdiction; Esther Chapter. o. L. S.
Kallipolis Grotto. No. 10, NJ. o. V.
p f. r.: Mount Pleasant Chapter,
No. 10. r. a. NJ; Albert Pike Con-
sistory. A. A. S. r.. ed degree: Com
manders' Association. Fellowship
Club, Trowel Club, Circle Club and
the Lambskin.
He is a member of the Board OF
Trade. the Commercial Club, South
ern Society. National Press Club, Co
lumbia Country Club and a number
of other organizations.
Estes came to Washington from
North Carolina in the eighties. when
his father accepted the position OF
chief postoffice inspector during
President Harrison's administration
For a time he was a clerk in the
census office. but that work had lit
tie appeal to him. His father be-
came engaged in the mail order
business, and later Estes establish
ed a similar concern. in 1896. His
capital was $500.
His business now occupies the en-
tire Estes Building of five stories, at
40 louisiana avenue. employing 100
clerks, and with COrresponden
list of 100000.
Estes hobbies are Masonry and
superior cigars.

ty line, ''to protect them from possi-
BILE ambuscades" 1t was alleged by

tives had been engaged by Mrs. Black
burn to kidnap her child, who Is in
custody OF her grandparents, Mr.. and
Mrs. John D. Blackburn, at Fayette.
The child's father died ten days ago

BI-PRoFITS MAKE
FARMERS RICH.
Lands and Buildings In.
crease in Value Through
Bumper Crops.

A bi-pront Of 10000 10000 Is one Of
the benefits accruing 20 the American
farmer from his bumper war crops.
Based on reports to the Department
OF Agriculture. this sum is he estl-
mated increase in the value of lands
owned by American farmers.
The reports showed plow lands have
increased In value II per cent since
1910, most OF the increase having been
made during the war years.
Another bi-profit that grew up for
the farmer is an estimated increase OF
nearly 1900, 10000 in the value. OF his
buildings.
Land and buildings that earn in
creased incomes are worth moro
money. officials say explaining the
increased values.
The two bi-profits are in addition
to the s21, 900, 100000 to which tho
total value of all farm products
jumped in 1918.
They help explain why many
farmers have been riding in auto
mobiles and why more are expect
ed to buy them this year.
. The value of the American farm
er's land and buildings now is close
to $4,000, 100000 according to the
Inmates.
