Tries to Enlist Because Of
: Popularity With the Girls
Father Made Him Present of $4,000; Would
Join Cavalry to Keep From Being "'Vamped."

a week ago. he said, when he re-
ceived the fortune from his father.
Now he was fairly surrounded with
girls, he said, who practiced all their
charms in an endeavor to win his
heart.
The fear of being vamped was an
other reason for his enlisting, he
told recruiting officers, and as he
possessed nice brown eyes, wavy
hair, and even teeth and $55,000, the
officers were inclined to believe he
might be telling the truth.
He had once been a breeder of
racing horses. he loved horses, and
if he could get into the cavalry, get
his money safely invested and be
free from women, all would be we'll,
he declared.
A slight physical defect made it
necessary for him to return to Col
umbus for treatment by the family
physician, before he could enlist, but
he promised to be back shortly and
join the oolors.
Diligent recruiting officers are
praying that the charms of the fair
Columbus naidens will not prove
too alluring.

New York. July 5.-ReceiviRg sud

prSed to find that they had been as
signed to troops quarters instead OF
first-class accommodations, as pre-

COL Robert S. Knox of the regu-

at the port of embarkation in France
stating that the war department had
decided to use the Leviathan on the
trip to transport first-class person
mel to relieve congestion of first
class passengers in France awaiting
their return home.
Million Dollars Saved.
Stating that it had taken this step
because of the desire of the officers
for an carly return, the department
announced that the sudden release
from duty of so many officers had
resulted in a surplus of approx
mately 2f,W0 frst-class passengers
over the space available up to July
20. A saving of 100000 would
also be made by the change, accord

Men who are enlisting at the local
army recruiting station in response
to the call to the colors for the new
peace time army are actuated by a
wide variety of motives, not only
in their decision to enlist, but, also
in the selection of that particular
part of the world and the service iii
which they desire to serve.
Fred. Milford of Columbus, Neb.,
for instance, chose to go to the
Mexican border that he might serve
in the cavalry, because he is lover
of horses.
Milford drove up to the local re-
cruiting station yesterday afternoon
in a new and respondent high
powered touring car He announc-
ed his intention of enlisting, and
during his physical examination ex-
planned his reason.
A week ago his father had given
him $55,000, he said. The burden
of so much money, which he did not
know what to do with, was one
reason for his enlisting.
He was single, 81 years old, but
had never been so very popular with
the women in his home town until

Our High School Team Defeats

What was perhaps the most thrilling
debate ever staged in Northern Mich
igan took place at the high school last
Friday evening when the team from
Traverse City was defeated by our local
three.
The Minimum Wage question was
thoroughly argued from every angle.
The question was well supported by the
Traverse team, but our team was well
prepared for anything the affirmative
might say in defence of the Minimum
Wage, and a unanimous decision in
favor of East Jordan was the joyous
result.
The Representatives from Traverse
were Morton Steinburg, Monroe Brown
and Donald Roxburgh. The East Jor-
dan team was the same as before, Con-
ard Hughes, Gertrude Hockstad and
REQ Bockes.
The judges were MIR. Meggison of
Central Lake, Judge Bailey of Bellaire
and Superintendent Bolster OF Central

Her Work Substantially En-

The primary election of Wednesday

Schools and in these precints remark
ably light vote was cast.
In East Jordan, out OF total OF about
S75 reglstrants, only 168 availed them
selves of the franchise.
The County totals are incomplete but
show that Miss Stewart was renominat-
ed by nearly two to one vote. The
returns are substantially as follows
May l.. Stewart 1414
Amelia Kaden 594.
This election, however, shows some
of the Inconsistencies of our present
state primary laws. The minimum cost
of an election in Cbarlevoix County is
about 1920. About 1000 votes were
cast.
At this rate it has cost the tax payers
of Charlevoix County about sixty cents
per vote to nominate one candidate for
office. Who is to blame?

2. Developing permanent interest in
the same.
3. Accumulating knowledge in the
matter.

In what way will the teacher present
these four steps?
In what way may parents cooperate?
How can you know that all is going
well?

shall do about my eighth grader?
There hasn't been much school this
winter and she really hasn't a fair
chance at the examination. She was
discouraged when she failed last year
and doesn't want to write. If she does
not write this will be her last year for
she will soon be sixteen. If urge her
and she takes the examination and fails
she will be all broken up oyer it and
her folks will blame me. What shall
do?"
Are there others of last years class in
just this situation? Is education based
on grades only? Is there strength in
defeat? Parents, we appeal to you?
