Washington, D. C.-The Federal
Board for Vocational Education has
more than 5000 disab men now in
training. Many of these men are TAX
ink two courses, one to improve their
cultural education and the other to
equip them for paying occupations and
professions. About fifteen per cent of
these men are taking courses in agri-
culture, 1t was necessary for many of
the wounded men to learn new trades
or professions. Another fifteen per
cent are taking professional courses
and about twenty-five per cent are
taking commercial courses. About
thirty per cent of the men are learning
some trade or industry.
These men. who are either par

receiving first consideration by the
Government. The agents of the vo-

There has been much apparent UNI
certainty among the people at large as
to what is to be done by the govern
ment for soldiers discharged from serv-
ice. To clear up any misunderstand-
ing, the following definite statements
from the Council of National Defense
at Washington are authentic.
l. Each discharged soldier will be
given one months pay.
g. Each will be given an allowance
of three and one-half cents mile from
the point of disqualification to his home
town.
g. Each will be enabled to buy a
railroad ticket from point of demobil-
ization to his home town by the most
direct route at cost of two cents q
mile.
4. The rehabilitation of each unit
will occur at the army camp nearest
the home section of majority of the
men of the unit.

A few years ago Henry Harvey,
Chan Robinson, John Marks and Pal
mer & Perrigo purchased ten acre
tracts of land from the Hahn farm just
south of town, which they converted
into tobacco plats. The land has prov
en- suitable for the purpose and each of
them has done we'll every season as
the boys were experienced growers and
most of the work, except during the
harvest, done with their own labor.
The 1918 crop, however, has paid the
best yet grown. In all IS acres were
produced on these tracts which has
been sold and delivered, bringing them
very close to S18,O in the aggregats.
Harvey's 81 acres brought him $500;
John Marks from 9 acres, S4628.2 70.
Each of these tobacco growers have
pulled down a greater revenue than
the average professional men of the
country with less than six months
work in growing the crop.

Memorial Building Proposed.

There is growing sentiment in this
community that some permanet public
recognition of the service and sacrifice
our soldier boys have rendered our
country in the late struggle for democ-
racy. This sentiment has been some
what crystalized by several meetings
of citizens when the project was under
discussion and suggestion put forth
that the erection of public building in
their honor would be suitable thing
to do.
1t is long years since citizens who
have the best interests of the city at
heart began to discuss the proposition
of erecting a city hall. Year after
year it has been talked and as time
passed by the need Of a suitable mu-
nicipal building became more apparent
to many. The old city hall was merely
a makeshift at the time it was built,
but it's usefulness is certainly far be-
hind this day and date. 1t is not prop
ery located and wholly insufficient for
a city hall from every standpoint and a
number of citizens have concluded that
in the next year or two is the time to
erect a building that all may point to
with pride. AS we understand it, the
proposition is to put up building that
will provide ample rooms for the safe
keeping of all city records, to provide
offices for all city officials, room ade-
quate in size and properly equipped to
care for the needs of the fire depart
ment, and an audience room in honor
Of the soldier boys, for their use and
use of the public. In order to secure
such building site will have to be
selected, plans and specifications made
and way to meet the payment, which
of course is to bond the city for suf-
ficient amount. In all probability the
bond proposition will be laid before the
common council for their determination
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of submitting it
to vote of the taxpayers at the COM
ing municipal election. Just. what will
be done or is best to do is merely spec
ulation as far as The Reporter is con-
cerned, but the question is an open one
for the public to thoroughly analyze at
this time.

son Herbie who reached the hospital at
Fort Sheridan Christmas day. Young
Iverson was wounded September 7th in
the knee while in action on the French
battle front. Afte- receiving treat
ment at several hospitals he was in
valided home among the first of the
wounded. They found him in good
spirits and his injuries will probably
not be permanent. Several hundred
disabled boys have already arrived at

The American Library Association
is asking for gifts of good recent works
of fiction to supply the reading needs
of our men in hospitals and demobiliza-
ton camps. Every public library in
the United States has been designated
as a receiving station for such gifts.
The classes of books most in demand
by the soldiers are fiction Of the adj
venturous-romantic school, Recent re-
quests from hospital and camp libra
rians emphasize the call for books of
this sort. The Edgerton public library
will receive and forward any contribu-
tons from our citizens who desire to
help meet the pressing need Of good
literature at the hospitals.

Snails Operated PIane.

The celebrated French airman, Georges Dombrival. has utilized the well-known instinct which scientists have long observed Is possessed by snails. For some unknown reason, . snail when placed on an inclined plane crawls toward the highest part.
 When NJ. Dombriyal was informed of this he placed on the upper plane of his Maurice-Farman machine 88 pounds of snails. two-thirds of which were the large. slow snails of BOur- gogne. beloved by epicures, the remain der of smaker and more agile variety After rising to about 1900 feet he was able to take his hands off the controls for the rest of his two hours flight The snails moved in a mass toward the upper part and re-established the equilibrium whenever the machine dipped, either lalerslly or longitudinal ly, thus keeping the sirplane in per feet line of flight
