Watch Your Son,
Pleads Soldier
BY sERaT. JOE MAHER.
tof local RecruItIna eureau.l


Many parents in this country are
making a very serious mistake concern
ing their sons future, so far as the
army is concerned. A recent case was
brought. to the attention of the local
recruiting station when a young man
applied for enlistment. The boy con-
fessed that he had not worked in sew
eral months and had been idling his
time away at places where the unem-
ployed congregate.
He was given a physical examination
and passed. The lad, VINO was 10 years
of age was sent home to have his par
ents sign his age certificate, but his
mother refused, and he returned to the
office discouraged.
This is a case where the parents are
doing their son more harm than good.
Many sons are sent hayward through
their parents refusal to sign age GER
tificates and in many instances disgrace
and ruin follow.
If your son wants to enlist in the
army and If he is of legal age. do not
try to discourage him, because the army
will return him to you bigger and
better man physically mentally and
morally. Do not be the mother or
father of a wandering boy. II your
son wants to go into the army let him
enlist willingly, or he may go astray
Always remember that some young
men are very easily led and often get
into very serious trouble through bad
companionship,

ADMIRAL PEARY WHO
FOUND NORTH POLE
Continued from page ID

on this journey that he and his party,
travelling on the Roosevelt. encoun-
tered so many obstacles and suf-
fered such privations.
Peary reached 'farthest north" on
April 21, 1906, just three years to a
day before the day DR.. Cook ascribed
as his date Of alleged discovery of
the pole. Peary's readings showed
he was then at latitude of 81 de-
grees and II minutes. Forced to
leave most Of his supplies behind to
tighten the load on the dog sleds,
Peary realized that If he attained his
ambition and dashed for the pole,
he and every man and dog In the
party would die OF starvation and
exposure on the way back.
The final dash for the pole that at
last proved successful was started
on July 6, 1908. His date OF discov-
cry was given as April 6, 1909.
In recent years Commander Peary
has lived in Washington. He was
married in 1888 to Miss Josephine
Diebitsch, of Fryburg. Maine. She
accompanied him on several earlier
Arctic expeditions. and it was in
Greenland in 1898 that Marie, their
eldest child, was born. There also
was a son, Robert E., Jr., now TWEEN
ty years old.
