FAST FILLING UP

Enlistments in the United States
marine corps, which took a boom the
first part Of October, are still on the
increase and II the present increase
keeps up, it will not be long before
the corps has its quota.
While a large number of the men
accepted are re-enlistments, about
sixty per cent of the men are re-
cruits. which shows that this branch
Of the service is attracting men who
want q chance to see active service
and travel and see the world. The
sun never sets on the United States
marines and their activities are the
means of maintaining peace in more
than one of our troubled nations.
Opportunities for advancement in
the marine corps are numerous and
the policy of obtaining the commits
stoned officers from the ranks is still
in force in this branch of the service.
Many of the most efficient officers in
the marine corps are men who have
risen from the rank of private ma
rine.
The opportunity to attend school
and receive an education as we'll as
Il military training is also bringing
n large number OF young men in to
the marines.

wanted for the aviation section and
special Inducements are offered in this
line. Men with a knowledge of trades

and men assigned To duty as carpen-
ters. plumbers, electricians etc; re-

MANY SAID TO
FAVOR CLOSING
Several Merchants and
Number Of Workingmen
i Like Idea, it is Said.

NV 81 -#a . 4 . ,
In discussing today the proposition
that the celebration Of the Fourth of
July as soldiers and sailors home
coming day be made the occasion for
d general closing OF business for three
days. T. A.. Bydal today said.
1.-THE idea may not be agreeable to
all. but I find that a great: many
workingmen. and not a few merchants
are in favor of it. Three days of
recreation are not too much in con-
nection. with the commemoration Of
our greatest national holiday, and this
is particularly true this year right
after our glorious victory. (
s"Let me. ask some fair questions:
Did you ever hear of anyone who
wanted to work on the fifth of July?
Did you ever see a man or woman do
a full days work on the day follow
ing the Fourth? And to business men.
generally I would say: You know
you don't intend to work on the 5th.
and that II you did, you would hardly
be doing Justice to your position; you
also know that you are just as human
rs the rest Of Vi and that a little ex-
ira play on such an occasion will help
10 make you ever more human. And
then-July 6 is Sunday, so it's plen-
lty time to open your store again Nom

I'm spite Of all those resolutions,
those Never Agains' that you used to

SOME COMFORT FOR KENTUCKY,

Present indications point to a large
blackberry crop in Kentucky. Peace
negotiations profress slowly. The
seven-year locusts are upon us. The
Republicans control congress. Span
ish influenza may return. Sugar is
high. Nobody has suggested a near
old-fashioned toddy hat will be a
tol'able imitation of the real thing
when the United States becomes dry.
The birth rate isn't all it should be,
the infant mortality rate is too high,
and divorce is depressingly common.
But with broad acres of blackberry
pie and tons of blackberry cobbler
in prospect. the grand old common
wealth is not utterly dis~consolate.-
