UNCLE SAM AIDS SOLDIERS TOWARD
 LIFE AMBITION

Washington, July 2-Some men choose their vacations when they are about the age of three years. You've seen O kid, who, when he was almost too small to reach the table would try to amputate the cats leg or per form an appendix operation on sis ter's doll. All the family would stand around admiring and choose the med acal college he was going to.
 We'll, here's one who wasn't much more than snnggle toothed when he was wiring the house and putting batteries on all the doors. When he had finished the sixth grade (without honor) father said one night that the only thing for Joe to do was to get in an electric shop, and earn his own living. I don't know that there ever was a much more perfect mo- mont in that boys life than when he started down on Monday morning with a tin pail and a pair of over ais.
 From twelve years to twcnty-eigilt years means a passage of time but Joe was stin with the company as a cable splicer. Advancement was there, and he used to look pretty 1ongingly at jobs higher up, but e. sixth grade graduation is not much of a foundation for promotion, is 1t?
 That was just before the United States Army packed up and went abroad for year or so. Joe went with them. and left a star in the company's flag.
 One day over there a German ma chine gun carried away the bottom part of a ledge he was standing on, and with it his right hand and the fingers on his left. Visions of the presidency of the electric company vanished into thin air. Of course the War Risk Insurance Bureau gave him some compensation, but nothing compromises for changing your stand in the world for a seat on the shelf. About that time he got the big news.
 The Federal Board for Vocational Education sent one or their men to tell Joe that he wasn't ready to quit and the United States wasn't ready for him to. and offered him a year or so on from work in which he could place q few more stones in that sixth grade foundation. Did he take the opportunity? We'll. yes. Just listen to this. Joo entered a technical school and is learning to write a readable hand with that left stump, Is taking English, mathematics, ac- counting and salesnanship, and the reports of him are A 1.
 When he gets through he is going to be a salesman in that electric company he grew up with, and is go- ing to make more money than he ever did before with a good chance of going on up
 Say. Wish you could have seen his face when he got that letter from the boas at home telling him his new job was ready when he wasl Looked like n tn pan fin q. New England kitchen

RAYMER MERCHANT GOES
TO EASTERN MARKETS

l.. B. Kotouc has gone to the
Chicago and other eastern market
places to buy goods for his large
store at this point.
Such a journey is always an i'm
portant one for store which carries
a stock Of clothing like their store at
this point, but 1t is doubly so at this
time when there is so much uncer-
tainty about what prices will be in
the near future. Heavy buying now
followed by big decline in price,
would be a serious thing, but failure
to have the goods demanded By good
customers is also to be considered.
However, Mr.. Kotuc has the ben
eft Of varied and large experience.
and we may be sure that he will
make his purchases with such care
and caution as will enable him to
sustain the reputation he has built

ling and at better prices than can be

was served by the hostesses. ending
the evening splendidly. We are sure
everyone present enjoyed themselves

Oh, have often wondered who 1t
was that won the fray. Was II the
British Navy, or the English Tommy
gay? Was 1t the forts of Belgium,
or the bearded hosts of France. or
was 1t the Yankee doughboy with
pockets in his pants? Was II the
daring fliers or the ships that saileo
the sea, was 1t the field artillery or
just the q. M. c.? Was 1t the gall

so brave, or was II Herbert Hoover

COMMERCIAL CLUB
VOICES PROTEST

AT special meeting of the Ray
mer Commercial Club last evening,
called for the purpose of consider.
ing what action II any should be ta-
ken about the proposal to limil the
time in which the time in which the
1919 crop of wheat could be market
ed at the guaranteed price, il was
decided that the Club should take
immediate action to do all in its
power to bring the injustice of the
proposal to the attention of those
In authority.
IN conformity with that idea the
following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted.
WHEREAS the law fixing the
price of wheat caused great loss to
the farmers n this nation in 1917
and 1918, and said law provided thai
the guaranteed. price should continue
and be in force until June 1920. In
suring a stable price for the crop of
1919. and
WHEREAS there is pending leg
islation In the Congress of the United
Statess limiting the time of such
guaranteed price to December 81.
1913, and there Is proposed an
amendment to said proposed legis-
lation to still further limit the time
OF the guaranteed price until octo-
ber 3lst 1919, therefore be Il
RESOLVED, that any reduction
of the time limit on the guaranteed
price OF wheat would be a gross yio-
lation OF the faith of this govern
ment with the food producers OF the
nation;
That such time limit as proposed
In pending legislation wonld nulify
all of the benefits of the price fixing
law for the crop of 1918, for the
reason that crops in the northern
part OF the country with later sea
sons could not be threshed and mark
eted in time to comply with the law
for the reason that transportation
and terminal facilities would be so |
congested by the rush of the early
wheat to market, thar a
very small portion of the crop ma
turing late in the season could be
within the proposed limit:
That the sole effect of the law up
to the present time has been to cause
loss to the wheat raising farmer and |
his sole hope OF any compensation
lies In the promise of aguaranteed
price for wheat already growing, a
large part OF the cost of production
having been expended at the highest
cost ever known;
That any impairment of the pres
ent time limit for the price of wheat
would cause incalcnable loss to the
loyal farmers of this nation;
And be ii further
RESOLVED that copy of these
resolutions be sent to our represen-
-atives in both branches of Congress.
10 the President, to the Department
u Agriculture at Washington, and
hat our State legislature and state
government be urged to unite with
as In protesting against the proposed /
legislation.
Several copies of the above reso-
ntions have been printed and mailed
by our business men to wholesale
houses and to newspapers urging
action along /the same or similar
ines.
1t means millions to our state.
