Writes Best Essay
on Army Benefits

ROBERT FRANK ESty of the Pleasant
street school has the honor of hay-
ing written the best essay in his
school district on the subject. What
Are the Benefits of Enlistment In
the New American Army" The es-
say was written in competition for a
prize which was offered by Army Of
hcials to all the school children in
sthec ountry who cared to enter the
lists. The essays from Maine were
sent to- Camp Devens where they
were judged by high ranking officers
ana were then returned to Portland
to be returned to the writer's,
Accompanying the essay was a fine
congratulatory letter written by
Thomas Ridgway Colonel U. s. A..
Retired, offering congratulations for
the best essay in the district. which
he said he considered distinct hon.
or. and thanking the writer for his
interest on q subject so vital to all
good Americans.
Robert is but IL years of age and
is in Grade ga advanced of the
Pleasant street school. His parents
are not living and he has home
with his grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Bowker of 100 Oxford street,
His essay follows:
What Are the Benefits of an En-
listment in the New American Army.
THE benefits derived from the
Army are many and varied.
Even though the soldiers. salary
is small at the time of enlistment.
he has more chance of developing
hrs educational power and getting
from $50 month and up to more
than 500 month. Again one must
consider that from his monthly pay
roll the soldier has nothing to nay
out.
The Army has libraries and the
aires in each and every training
camp and station. None but the
best books. pictures and plays are
found here.
1.-THE soldier is taught the correct
use OF firearms which will aid him in
after life.
"A man seeking employment in
civil life, that can show an honora BILE
discharge from the Army is posses
sed with an asset that goes a long
way with his employers.
"One soldier said: 4 have q keener
sense Of duty; 1 can think quicker;
have regular habits: / am a better
Christian. What I have learned in
first aid will enable me to help a
friend in time Of emergency. When
| came. into the service, had quite
a stomach. but now l am thin around
the waist but have a great chest"

THE QUESTION.

I. write you from sheer despera- tlon. cannot pry my husband loose from his work long enough to have an examination made, because he knows the verdict would be an operation, and he feels he cannot spare money and time both, there fore, he is letting it go until too late, unless 1 can give him some home treatment, and beg of you to advise me in this.
 He has an idea that there may be cancer on his throat. l was going to have him rub fish oil on his throat, and also have him take cod liver oil, as builder, as I un- derstand cancer cannot exist where there is fish. Is there any truth in this saying?
 The Answer.
 l am very sorry to learn that your husband is in such bad health. It is impossible for me to make diag- nosis or suggest treatment in this case without thorough physical ex- animation.

NEW DISH FOR COWS.

Experiments made by chemists have resulted in new food being discovered that it is claimed is very nutritious for cows. This food is saw dust.
 The experiments and investigations have been conducted at the Forest Products company laboratories in Wisconsin and the officers of the Southern Pine association pass the word along.
 According to the information a process has been worked out for the treatment of this by-product with dilute acid, which converts the cellu- lose in the material into sugar and renders the rest of it digestible. As feed for cattle it has been found very nutritious, causing them to gain weight, it has been declared by the expcrimcnters. It sounds good. And should such process be actually put into operation throughout the lumber sections to the extent that the feed is in demand on the markets for cattle, then this section of Ar kansas, with it's forests, should be on the look out for development in this respect. Like other innovations, this will be taken lightly for time and then all. of sudden some Pine Bluff lumber company will announce suddenly that saw dust for cattle feed may be purchased at their mills
 Also there are possibilities that after the cattle are shown to fatten on saw dust that the bills of fare in restaurants will include saw dust hash. Such a food might stimulate retrogression to human block head edness, but,

 It seems useless that the candidate of the G. 0. F. should preach such doctrine, that the neclues of the Paris league and the league tribunal be made into another body to re- place that sponsored by President Wilson.
 If Harding's plan becomes sue cess it appears that the scientists will have to establish traffic contact with Mars or some other habitable planet wherein the league opponents can find sufficient nations not all ready allied in world peace plan to make up this espoused association. And at that an element of competi- tion between planets will confront the body in addition to world internal affairs.

Itch Mite,


 0. How can I get rid of itch mite?
 A. Sulphur in various forms has so far been proved to be the pest substance for the treatment of the itch, although other remedies nave been employed with satisfactory re- suits.
 One method of treatment IS as follows: The patient should nave d hot bath and the body thoroughly scrubbed with soap. After the path sulphur ointment (vaseline with powdered sulphur added) should pc well rubbed into the body, except the face and scalp. The clothes should be thoroughly dislnfected with sulphur, immersed in boiling water, or subjected in stove or furnace to a dry heat sufficient to kill the parasites and eggs. For a few nights it is a good plan to aust a teaspoonful of flowers of sulphur over the sleeping clothes. If the above treatment is objected to, hot baths for few nights, followed py free use of sulphur soap, are e11l- cient.

IMPOSSIBLE.

Harding's proposal that the United States enter any kind of an associa- ti1n of nations is position devoid oE any meaning. Such procedure isHmore than that, an utter impossi- bility.
 Secretary Colby pointed out that any nation, member of the league of nations is prohibited by article twenty of the covenant from allying itself wssh other associations. Text oi article etwenty follows:
 The Members of the League

 sistent with the terms of this
 Covenant, it shall be the duty of such Member to take immediate
 steps to procure its release from
 such obligations.
