farms, the oil fields, the cities alike
were, canvassed for volunteers for this
service. Rich mems sons were edu-

then sent across to drive trucks hun
dreds of miles with big cargoes of
supplies, to convoy troops under fire
along the front of the fighting armies,
and these are the men who are coming
back to make highway transport the
biggest thing in the American trans
portation world. When America en-
tered the war. the entire army was on
ly about 100000 men. When the war
ended there were nearly twice that
number in the motor transport corps
alone.
At first the men for this corps were
taken from garages, from taxi COM
panies, taken wherever there were men
to be found who knew motor vehicles.
The supply Of trained chauffeurs who
could enter the army was soon short
of the needs. Then the American uni
wersities came into the field. Among
the first was the Purdue university at
La Fayette, Ind. A motor school was
opened there. Various technical motor
schools as at Kansas City and Pitts
burg, threw their resources into train
ing men for the service, and when the
armistice came there were nine great
centers for preliminary training of
men for this corps ready for establish

Meanwhile, the training progressing
In some 80 environments and army
camps, was being standardized by the
motor transport corps headquarters at
Washington where Brig. Gen. Charles
3. Drake, had been named as chief of
the corps. On the other side, Col.
Pope, one of the early advocates of
extensive motor military transporta-
ton, like Gen. Drake. was operating
the motor fleet on the lines OF the
French transport system. In America
General Drake called together educa-
tors, and specialists in motor trans
portation, and prepared for the estab-
lishment of training schools for officers
and men. On the other side, such
schools were being conducted for men

EDUCATION SPREADING.
A wonderful schedule of education
was worked out, with vehicle school
at Camp Jos. Il. Johnston, Fla, and
an administrative school at Camp
Meigs, Washington, D. c., half dozen
sectional schools. and a Chautauqua
circuit to spread the gospel of stand
ardized motor transportation into the
environments.
The Standardization of the American
methods with those of the A. E. f. and
French transport was worked out with
a fleet of about 800 vehicles at. Camp
Johnston, where men were trained in
convoy work on the lines of the French
transport, which proved it's value first

THE CONVENIENCE
OF WATERWORKS,

This will not be of particular
interest to the men in Marion
unless some of them are bach
ing" or are good enough to their
women folks to bring in all the
water for them and empty the
waste water.
Although almest every one
large enough to carry a bucket
of water has been in places
where there was city water and
undoubtedly knows as much
about the conveniences of run
ming water in the house as the
writer still the fact remains that
Marion is without water, un-
doubtedly the largest and wealth
lest town in all the country with
out it.
1t may be a pleasant pastime
for some of the stalwarts to get
out on an icy porch of a winter
morning when the thermometer
is flirting with the little circle
near the bottom of the tube but
to most human beings the very
thoughts of it will send a shiver
down their spine. Sometimes
the well or cistern is farther
away than the porch too. And
just call to your mind what a
nice job it is to draw or even
pump enough to do the weeks
washing in doesn't that bring
pleasant memories fitting thru
your mind? Or do you let the
women do it? If you do there
is not another word to be said,
but the writer was never able to
get away with anything like
that.
Seriously speaking city water
in Marion would save many
hours of genuine drudgery every
week, even if you have a pump
of the most modern type and
you all know it and have known
it for years - so why be content
to just drift along satisfied with
things as they are. Why not
get busy and get something
done.

OUR COUNTRY SCHOOLS

Quite a number of the country
schools in Crittenden and other
counties in Kentucky have been
in session for a month now the
major portion of them with a
mere handful of students in at
tendance. This seems to be a
deplorable waste of teaching
energy, especially when this
energy is so hard to get, there
by making it an almost precious
commodity.
There is nothing in Kentucky
as important as the education of
her youth. There is no one sim
gle thing that has as much to do
with their education as the pub
lie schools, commonly called the
Country Schools and it is ut
terly impossible for them to
produce" at their highest ef-
ficiency as long as the school
terms begin in the middle of the
summer, when every one large
enough to work is needed on the
farm. This is especially true
now when farm labor is so hard
to get,
The Press would suggest that
more attention be paid to the
pupils and the efficiency of the
schools for a while now and let
agitation on some of the other
matters rest for a time.
It would be also a mighty fine
thing for the future citizens to
start the schools a little later in
the summer to give the larger
children an opportunity to attend
school the entire term, which is
entirely to short as it is.
