Chances in the Army.

The United States Army is making
big drive for enlistments, and it adj
vertises that fifty thousand men are
wanted at once for service with the
Army Of Occupation in Europe.
The army methods are apparently to
undergo very decided changes. The at
tempt is wisely to be made to have the
service made more educational There
will be patriotic duty on the part of
each state and every locality to furnish
a fair share Of men for the service.
1T would seem, however, as if with
tho excellent opportunities offered, there
should be plenty of enhstments, with
out urging men to go at the cost of
sacrifice. Naturally the ordinary
young man, who is trained for some
calling, or finds some good opening at
home, would be reluctant to enter
the service except in the case of some
patriotic emergency.
But there is a considerable class of
young men with an adventurous or rest
less temperament, for whom army life
as now planned offers a chance to be
carefully considered. These fellows are
apt to feel vaguely dissatisfied with
home conditions. They wander away
without settled purpose, except vague
hope to find fortune. Usually they
end up much worse off than if they had
remained at home.
The young man who is not satisfied
to settle down at home, or who has no
special vocational training or hopeful
opening, does very well to enter the
army. 1t will give him taste Of
travel In a few years he will be far
more likely to settle down in to some
permanent occupation. He will receive
instruction in many trades giving him
the certainty of earning good living.
And the boys who finally decide to re-
main in the army permanently, have
the satisfaction Of giving patriotic
service of the highest value, and of
entering calling worthy of the great
est respect.

Duane Shales, IL Years Old,
Meets Death While Swim
ming In Fox River Near
Town Of Wilmot.
FIND BODY THIS MORNING
Searching Parties Drag River for Miles
In Vain Fhursday Might But Body Is
Found This Morning More Than a
Mile From Scene Of Drowning.

Kenosha county had its first drown
ing for the summer on Thursday after
noon when Duane Shales, the twelve
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Shales, of the Fox River Road, was
drowned while swimming in the Fox
River just short distance from the
Carey mill in the village of Wilmot.
After hours Of dragging the river
fptilely, the body was found about
seven O'Clock this morning by Will
liam Mattern a few rods south of
the Harley Davidson, camp along the
Fox River, more than a mile below
the scene Of the drowning.
Mystery Surrounds Drowning.
just how the shales boy met his
death is not known. Just after one
o'clock with Elmer Stencil, thirteen
year old companion, he started for the
swimming hole''. Before reaching
there the boys decided to 20 clam fish
ing and Stencil went back to the Carey
mill in the village of Wilmot to secure
seine. When be returned he found
the Shales boy 3 clothing on the river
bank but the boy had disappeared.
Young Stencil hurried to the village
where he told of the incident and with
in q half hour scores Of people were
along the river banks searching for the
body. Divers were brought from Ke-
nosha and for hours the river was
searched for miles unsuccessfully. AT
eleven thirty last night the searching
parties gave up the hunt or the body
bat it was resumed again early this
morning. William Mattern, a resident
of the town Of Wilmot, saw the body
floating in the water near the place
whepe it was found about seven clock
this morning and after several hours
diving it was brought to the surface.
1t is believed that young Shales must
have been seized by cramps shortly af-
ter he dove into the water. He had
been warned not to go into the river
until late in the afternoon, but had not
needed the warning. While he was not
an expert swimmer, he had often been
swimming at the place where he met his
death and had been able to take care
of himself. 1t is also thought possible
that he stepped into-a sinkhole and
was carried by the current down into
the deep water below the hole proper.
The swiftness of the current is shown
by the fact that the body must have
been caught in an under current
and@earried for more than mile be-
fore it came to the surface.

Senator King, Democrat, made the
statement in the Senate debate the
other day, that he understood there
are about 14l,000 more employees in the
railroad administration than there were
year or eighteen months ago. He al
so said he understood they were doing
about the same amount of work as was
formerly accomplished by the smaller
force.
Senator Kirby, Democrat said that
control of the roads by the govern
ment had resulted in increases in rates
and worse service. If that is the way
the mouth-pieces Of the Democratic
party feel, what will be the sentiment
of the plain, ordinary taxpayer, who
doesn It care rap which party is in
power provided he gets efficient
government
The majority of the people win at
tribute this condition largely to the
lack of ambition and incentive mani
Tested in all phases Of government
work. Those who believe in govern
ment ownership OF railroads, however,
will have to charge it to the incom-
potency of the present administration
at Washington. You can take your
choice.
If it is true that great army of
$4,000 more workers has been put on,
and substantially no greater results
achieved, it is an astonishing record.
1t would be hard to find anything
like it in the economic history Of this
country.
If a great industrial corporation had
put on 141, 1000 new workers and had
succeeded in getting practically no more
work done, the people who bossed the
Job would keep their positions about
fifteen minutes before they got notice
to quit. The apologists for the rail-
road administration will have to take
heed of these charges, as they have
made the people sit up and take no
lice. Unless some satisfactory excuse
san be found, which seems highly un-
likely, the day for reckoning and
Oveturning is going to come very
shortly.

pastor of one Of the Presbyterian chuech khere and lately in service abroad. He will be assisted by Rev. Dirk A. Lay, who succeeded Dr. Cook at Sacaton and for some two or three years had been his assistant.
 But greater and more enduring monument to Dr. Cook than this ar chitecture is the changed lives of hun dreds of Indians who in forty years were brought under his influence. He did more than any other man to bring them the blessings of civilization and to give to the Presbyterian church a hold upon the Indians of the south west, stronger than that of any other protestant denomination.
 When pr. Cook Came
 Dr. Cook came among the Pimas in 1870. He had served through the civil war and at it's close went to Chicago where he engaged in evangelistic work with Dwight l.. Moody. He had never heard of the Pimas. One day he read in Chicago paper, letter from Gen eral Alexander who had been stationed at Fort Mcdowell, of the Pimas. The l letter described their friendliness to the whites, their many excellent char acteristics and the lack of religious instruction to fortify them against the vices of the whites
 l MT. Cook at once set out for Arizona l travelling much of the way on foot. Arriving among the Indians, he found a most unpromising field. He learned their language and was helpful to them i in every possible way but religious progress among them was slow The l first convert was not made until he had labored necessarily among them for four years. and at the end of twenty nine years of service there har been but sixteen converts.
 Gathering the Fruits
 Thereafter the seed which had been so long and laboriously planted grew and multiplied. In the meantime pr Cook married, but his wife and son died oi the reservation where they are buried. The death Of his wife was caused by exposure, during a rainy season in which the adobe house ir which he lived gave way under con- tinued rains.
 f He lived to see a large membership of the mission and hundreds of the boys and girls of the reservation leave for the Indian school of Phoenix ant other schools throughout the country In memory of his great work there i: now facing the Phoenix Indian schoo

 An Indian Floral Tribute
 After his death an Indian was sent from the Sacaton reservation to lay . bouquet upon his grave The Indian purchased the flowers at the nearest town and presented himself at the home of the relatives of Dr. Cook. It was raining hard and the Indian was told that it was a long way to the cemetery; if he would leave the lowers they would be placed upon the grave. No said the Indian.
