IOWA BOY WINS
ESSAY CONTEST
Writes the Best Article on "Ben-
etits of Enlistment in United
States Army"
BEATS TEN MILLION RIVALS
Gets Free Trip to Washington and a
Gold Medal From Secretary Baker
The Prize-Winning
Essay.

.~-~- washington, u. C.--Donald L. Camp.
bell, fifteen-year-old Clinton Ua.)
high school pupil, has been awarded
first prize in the army national school
essay contest for the best essay on the
Benefits Of Enlistment in the United
States Army Ten million school
children participated in the contest,
inaugurated to stimulate enlistment
in the army.
YOU. Campbell will receive from
the war department a free trip to
Washington, where Secretary Of War
Baker will pin q gold medal on his
chest.
Here's the Essay
Campbell's winning essay follows:
"As Horace Greeley once said
Young man, go West we now say,
Young man, join the army Why? It
is the big opportunity Of the age.
Are you physically weak?
"Health Is the first wealth. and
the army is. a health builder. It pro-
vdes wholesome food; clean, comfor-
table surroundings, proper clothing
and medical attention when necessary.
Physical exercise is compulsory, and
every encouragement IS given athlet-
les. These, with outdoor life, make
men straight, strong and healthy:
80. "Do you seek an education?
.*"You can attend school at.any army
post and study grammar and high
school subjects.
= would you learn a trade?
'"The government has recently ap-
propriated $2,OOO,OOO for the establish
ment> and. maintenance of vocational
SCHOOLS, where you can learn to- be
mechanic, auto repair man, electrician,
telegraph operator, chemist or almost
anything else you wish. These courses
prepare you for return to- civil life
or continued service In the army.
do you long for travel and adven-
ture!
"Joln the army. You can be an en-
gineer at the Panama canal, wire
less operator in the Philippines, a line
man in Alaska, or an aviator flying in
the clouds. Whenever possible, the
government gives you a choice of sta
ton.
''ln the army you can travel, learn,
and earn at the same time.
Uncle Worries for You.
"You may think army pay is low.
In addition to the $50 a month, Uncle
Sam pays for your food, clothing, rent,
light and fuel. With the present high
cost of living, why not leave all the
worries to Uncle Sam? After thirty
years service, you can retire on three
fourths pay plus $15.75 a month. The
army is not all work and drilling.
There are movies, libraries, games, mu-
sic and dances; furloughs whenever
conditions permit.
"Do you admire courage, honest,
square dealing, resolution and tenac-
ity of purpose? You will find these
qualities in men like Washington,
Grant, Sherman, Roosevelt and Per-
shing-men developed in our army.
This training Of body, mind and
soul, and these opportunities for edu-
cation, travel and adventure are more
than sufficient reasons for joining the
army; but there is another and great
er motive for DOMINIC the olive drab.'
Do you love your country, and would
you be worthy of her? You must be
willing to serve her both in war and
peace.
"Have you, like Nathan Hale, one
life to give for your country? If so,
join the army"

Minister Quits Pulpit;
More Money in Factory

Peekskill, N. Y.-Rev. Ellis
Slippery, pastor in three sub
urban Methodist Episcopal
churches, has discarded his frock
coat for a pair of overalls and
began work as an apprentice
pearl cutter in a factory here.
He announced he had resigned
his Passionate because he "could
not make both ends meet" and
would confine his preaching to
"relief work which would not in
terfere with factory duties.'
His salary as a pearl cutter
would be several hundred dol
lars a year more than his salary
as minister, he said.

Evidence Is Stewed,

Vanceburg, Ky.-A pot containing a
half-cooked chicken and a bucket of
feathers was brought into court by
Ivan Saunders, who accused w. Ian
ters and 81. Bloomfield of taking his
chickens. The only thing that could

had chicken for dinner, and the charge
was dismissed.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1920-05-15

Falmouth, Ky.-The successful rat
killing party staged on the J. J. Eek
Ter farm has suggested that rat par
t1es' would be good thing for the
farmers of that section. The rodents
are particularly bad at present, but
there are fewer on the Ecker farm
than In many day. While moving
tobacco sticks three members of the
party killed SO rats and at the same
time permitted six to get away.

ear are souvenirs Of the occasion.

Bathing and Health.

The Hebrews, Hindus and Moham-
medans, as a part of their religion,
are required TO keep the body clean
by frequent ablutions and baths and
this has had far-reaching effect up
on the healthfulness of those people.
When the Roman empire fell, the mag
nficent system of baths, which its
people had and used for cleanliness
Of body, soon lapsed into decay. Only
in Spain, under the Moors, was the
system of bathing kept up. There, to
conform to the religious rites of Is
lam, luxurious baths were maintained,
but when the Moors were expelled the
misguided pious people razed TO the
ground these remnants of heathenism.

MOTION PICTURES IN ITALY
Development of Industry in That
Country Makes it Second only
to the United States.

The production of motion pictures,
SAYS the United States commerce re-
pert, is an industry for which phNsi-
cal conditions in Italy and the Italian
temperament are peculiarly favorable,
and consequently this branch of activi-
ty early attained a high degree OF ce-
velopment. Italy now claims TO rank
second TO the United States among
the nations of the world in the manu-
featuring of motion pictures. An idea
of the importance of this industry Ill
the economic life of the country can
be derived from the fact that the work
ing capital employed is now estimated
at 800 100000 lire and the actual capt.
tal invested at 100,000,000 lire. There
are eighty-two companies engaged IN
the production of films, of which The
greater number are located at Rome
which naturally presents unusual ad-
vantages from the scenic standpoint
The annual production of new films
in Italy has reached 100000 meters,
and If it is estimated that forty copies
are made from each negative the total
of printed films is 64,O00,000 meters.
