BENEFIT OF MILITARY DRILL
 FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

NAAO OA AAA 6 AA1S
 average citizen the value of
 military drill properly ap-
 piled to the youth of the
 country. At the time Amer
 ica entered the war the aver
 age big boy at the threshold
 of military age possessed
 many virtues, many excel
 lencies of character, but
 along with these certain
 grave faults. He was truth ful, fair in his dealings and good natured but with this he was likely to be slovenly in mind and careless in per sonal habits. A certain lack of discipline in our national makeup has resulted from the "soft pedagogy" the permitting of children to do altogether too much as they please, which has been in vogue in American schools for a generation past. Gen. a few months in train ing camp worked wonders in offsetting these defects of young men.
 Similarity, at the present time in most high schools without military drill you will find the average boy of from fourteen to seventeen amiable, with likeable traits, but almost invariably care less and Ego as you please. " Give this average boy a com mission to perform and the chances are he will fail to carry it out properly. He will stop to do something else first or, having started, will be diverted from his ob- ject by some trivial consider ation. To replace this un- reliability by dependability, this carelessness by "snappi- ness, '" is the province of mil itary drill.
 The first thing that is nec- essary in installing military drill is to inculcate a serious attitude toward the work in hand. This includes, first, ] proper respect to superiors; second, absolute attention to the work; third and most inn Oortant of all, the idea that work assigned must be ac- ,omplished, that no excuse whatever is acceptable for 1on-performance of duty.
 I have found in practice in drilling boys of high school age that it is best not to keep them at attention" too long. Five or ten min ltes is a long time to the fourteen-year-old boy. The system of having drill at att tention "snappy'' while it lasts, with frequent rest in- tervals, gives the most satis- factory results. An mex perienced or over-zealous in- structor often ruins other wise good work by overdo- ing. Qn this connection I may remark that I have seen 3 regiment of grown men, not perfectly trained, who were kept marching at at- tention too long on a hot day, completely Jagged out in a few hours, with scores of men dropping from ex- haustion).
 Another essential in mak- ing drill of value to high school students is for the student officers and 'non- coms' to be serious in their work, but with this serious

THE GREATEST QUESTION"
 AT PASTIME NEXT THURSDAY

production which will be one of the best pictures ever shown in Holbrook:
 It remained for Griffith, the worlds foremost motion picture producer, to take the question in hand, build a story of intense human in- terest, logically explain the attitudes of his characters and take a certain stand on the most awesome question the world has produced.
 The story has it's setting on afarm among home folks. The family is poor, happy and honest until the call of war takes the eldest son and the support of the family. The boy meets death when rather than risk the lives of the submarine crew by open ing the coming tower, he permits himself to be swept overheard when the vessel is compelled to submerge be- fore an enemy destroyer.
 The faith of the entire family is shaken and the earnest, fervent prayers of a motherfor six long months seem to have been mocked. Then "the greatest ques- ton" forges it's way into the minds of this family. Is there a Hereafter? Do those who are good become merely the same mass of putrid de- cay that those who do evil become? Or, is there some great Father above who pro- vides the destiny for the good and that for the bad?
 The story in brief follows:
 The Hilton family, al- though very poor, adopts Nellie. The head of the household, who hadn't work ed in years, because of para lysis, is rather inclined to think Nellie an unnecessary handicap; but John and Jim mic Hilton and Mrs. Hilton find room for her.
 Passing years bring the war cloud. John, the eldest son, is drafted, while Mrs. Hilton, Nellie and Jimmie bravely undertake to make the farm produce enough food to keep body and soul together. But the farmland is apparently unsuited to ag- ricultural work. A sticky substance resists cultivation.
 Determined to be of some assistance to the family, Nellie hires herself out as a servant girl to the Scrubbles, a neighboring couple with fiendish instincts. There Nellie suffers the advances of a brute old enough to be her grandfather and the lashes of Old Lady Scrubbles' cato '-nine-tails.
 However, Nellie sticks to her job and when she sees what her few dollars mean to the family, she grits her teeth and gives up all hope of leaving the place.
 Mrs. Hilton prays like every other mother-that her oldest boy shall be re- turned safe to her. Then, like a torrential storm, she is notified that her son met his death by drowning swept from the coming tower of a submarine when the underwater craft was forced

DEATH SUMMONS
 EMMIT WALLACE

The community was sad dened by news of the sudden death, at g o'clock this morning, of Emmit Wallace, following a siege of influenza and pnumonia. MT. Wallace, whose home is in Adamana, died at the home of his par ents, MT. and Mrs. Frank Wallace.
 While it had been known that MT. Wallace was seri- ously i'll, it was hoped by his legion of friends that today would bring a turn for the better and his sudden death was a shock to all.
 During all of his active life MT. Wallace has lived in this vicinity and all who knew him will remember his sterling qualities; his stead fast and unswerving friend ship and the individuality that now brings to each a sense of personal loss. While but 30 years of age, he was already prominent in the business life of this section and was a citizen the com munity could i'll afford to lose.
 Mrs. Wallace, who has been in California, was yes terday notified of the seri- ous nature of her husbands illness and left at once for Holbrook, but will not ar rive until this afternoon.
 The sympathy of the en- tire community goes out to the bereaved family.
 Mir. Wallace was a mem- Der of the Masonic and Elk Lodges, and the funeral will take place tomorrow under the auspices of the Masons.
 DickHollingsworth Loren Rofnot and MT. Baxter visit ed St. Johns last Saturday when a dance was given in the evening for their honor by some of the young ladies of that town.
 Mrs. w. E. Lewis of Blue Water, New Mexico, who spent ten days visiting with her parents, MT. and Mrs. J. T. Wolfe, returned home Sunday accompanied by her husband who arrived here Saturday for a short visit.
 Mrs. David Dalton of Pine top visited friends for se- veral days this week.
