Like to Be Back
in Good Old US. A.

Mrs. Mary Gentry of 213 East Doug
las avenue. South Canon, has handed
The Daily Record for publication a
letter from her son, Private Lowell w.
Gentry OF Company A. One Hundred
and Sixty-fifth Infantry, who is at
present stationed at Remagen, Ger
many. with the army of occupation In
his letter, which is dated January IL,
ne says:
II will drop you a few lines tonight
to let YOU know that am all o. K and
in good health. l sincerely hope that
you and all other members of the fam
lily are the same. There is nothing
new for me to write about, and fear
that you will find this rather dull read
ing. The weather here is still pretty
nice, with no snow thus far worth men
tioling IA
This is Saturday night and the reg
iment was paid off today. That is
the older enlisted men of the regiment
were paid. but US fellows that have
not been in the regiment very long
were not paid, and don't know when
we will be. probably not until we leave
here and the Lord only knows when
that will be. l am sure sick of this
country and would surely like to be
back in the good old United States of
America. There is nothing to see
here and nowhere to go. All we do is
eat, s,eep. drill and do guard duty, and
believe me. 1t gets to be very monet
onous business.
II went on guard last night and to-
day and am pretty tired and sleepy
tonight, so don't think / will write
very much. The old men of the COM
pany are having big banquet tonight,
but us new fellows were left out of IT,
/ guess they will have a fine time.
Friday afternoon there was a big ath-
letic event between the boys OF this
regiment and those of the One Hun
dred and Sixty Sixth. which is sta
toned about two miles from here. and
the whole company went OYER to see
the sport. 1t was good and enjoyed
it very much.
Il am still looking for mail, but nave
not received any yet. Would sure
like to hear from you and the other
folks. as it seems like an age since !

not take up more time in writing al

a readable letter tonight Besides.
do not know anything worth writing
about. Hoping that this will find you
all in good health. Will close b., ex-

subject, which was one OF wide scope
and of much importance to those con
cerned in the tenents ard doctrines OF
his theology.
Mr.. Lathrop proved himself to be a
most pleasing talker and attempted in
his argument to make clear to his aud
itors as the result OF familiarity at
tained by study. observation and ex-
perience the beneficence of Christian
.sc.eIce as a religious belief, of the
efficiency OF its spiritual and physical
healing and of its blessing to mankind.
Few lecturers on Christian Science.
OF kindred topics is Canon City have
ever been accorded as careful. intelli-
sent and dispassiona;e a hearing as
that given to Mr.. Lathrop ON Sunday.
His personality is attractive. his rea-
soning good and his deductions such
as TO enlist the utmost respect and at
tention.
Mr.. Lathrop had an intimate. per
sonal acquaintance with Mrs. Mary
Baker Eddy, author of Science and
Health With Key to the Scriptures .
and he spoke of her reverenty y and low
ingiy as a woman of deep religious
convictions and OF devoted .consecra-
tion to God and to the extension of

GREAT LAKES
 SHIP YARDS MAKE RECORD

WASHINGTON, May IA (by Asso- ciated Press) First honors in the building of ships during the war was awarded today by the shipping board to the ninth or Great Lakes district. Held by canal restrictions to a lighter type of vessel than was built on the seaboard, the district did not produce so many net tons as other sections, but outstripped all other districts in the number of ships. In one year it put into service 125 more vessel than were delivered from all American yards in the year before the United States entered the war.
 At the outbreak of war, Great Lakes yards, which had developed a highly efficient type of cargo carrier, were at work on 100 bottoms for for eign account. All were requisitoned by the shipping board and the first ship turned over to the board under it's war program was the Limoges, a 2,39O ton freighter, built at Toledo. Twenty-seven ships were finished and put to sea before the canals froze in 1917.
 While winter gripped the lakes new work was continued and the existing fleet, even old boats which had been laid up were overhauled. Summer saw every available craft worked and overworked as never before, keeping the stream of grain, iron ore, coal and manufactures moving toward the east, for shipment to the men in Europe. At the opening of naviga- ton, 20 ships slipped from the ways and work was carried forward at in- creased speed. Ill November total of 28 ships-nearly one a day-was put into service by Great Lakes yards.
 The total for 1918 was 163 new freight carriers, all of them steel ex- cept one. The smallest yard on the Lakes, having only three ways, deliv- cred 13 ships and finished four teenth only little late for delivery before the ice closed navigation. Be- tween the end of November and the end of March, six more were launched. All were 4,200 ton boats.
 One yard built $500 ton ship in S4 days. Another launched 3,400 ton hull in 2S days, record which was slipped to "A days by another plant ] soon after. That record stood but a little while, for still another yard

EDUCATION IS EASIEST WAY
 MAKE MONEY

WASHINGTON, May IA (by Asso- ciated Press) The value of staying at school is stated in dollars and cents in figures compiled by the bureau of education and now being distributed to boys and girls throughout the country by the children's bureau.
 From study of a large number of actual cases it has been found that at 25 years of age the boy who re- mained in school until he was IS had received $2,000 more salary than the boy who left school at IA, and that the better educated youth was then receiving more than $9OO year more in pay
 "This is equivalent to an invest ment of $18,000, at per cent" the statemnt said Gan boy increase his capital as fast in any other way?
 Prom this time on the salary of the better educated boy will rise still more rapidly, while the earnings of the boy who left school at IA will fn- crease but little.'
 While wages have increased witt; the war, the proportions shown in a

table of weekly earning still hold true,
 the statement said. The boy who left
 school at IA at the time the investiga- tion was made received an average of $4 a week, his wages increasing each year to $7 week at IS. The boy who
 remained in school until he was IS began work at $10 a week. At 20 the salaries were $95O a week for the boy who left school early and $15 for his better trained competitor. At 25 they were earning $12.75 and s31 re- spectively, and total wages up to that time had been $5,11250 and $7,337 50, so that the boy who remained in school had earned nearly 50 per cent more in eight years than the other lad in 12 years.
 Children should stay in school as long as possible because education means better jobs," the children's bureau urges. Boys and girls who go to work at the end of grammar school rarely get good jobs. The work they find to do is usually unskilled; it of-

launched $500 ton ship in 17 days after the laying of the keel and deliv- cred it complete IA days later.
 Expansion of the yards to meet the wars demands gave the Lakes total Of 112 berths, 79 for cargo ships and 33 for tugs. While the average total number of rivet gangs in the Great Lakes district is only ten per cent of the nations total, they point proudly to record of delivering 30 per cent of the country's total ship tonnage.
 Additional contracts for 346 ships of 4,200 tons each have been placed in the district since the last requisi- toned ship was finished in October, the program to be completed by the close of navigation this year. Since the signing of the armistice 100000 tons of shipping have been delivered. Orders also have been placed in the district for 25 steel sea-going tugs, 13 wood sea-going tugs, two steel harbor tugs and 39 wood harbor tugs.
 Completion of the building program, according to officials will give the Lakes district record of 447 cargo ships and 79 tugs delivered to the government, the largest number of ships and the largest tonnage built in any district,

fers little training or chance for ad- vancement When they are older they find they are still untrained for the skilled work which offers future. Education means higher wages.
 Many boys and girls when they leave school find work that offers a high wage for a beginner. But these wages seldom grow because the work requires no training.
 "A position with a future and steadily increasing wages requires school training.
 Does it pay to continue your studies? Education means a success full life and useful life; it pays the individual. Education means efficient workers; it pays the nation. Show this to your parents and ask them what they think about it. Stay in school"
