TT IS the purpose OF the war
i Department to develop IN the
American soldier those qualities
which are the essentials to success
in any trade or business and are the
prime requisites in an American
citizen.
Congress has appropriated
$2,0OO,OOO.0O to be used in Educa-
tional work in the Army Schools. In
many camps and posts men are be-
ing trained in the skilled trades and
at practically all Army stations,
schools are in operation in which the
soldier can improve his education.
Through enlistment the United
States Army offers opportunities to
travel. It provides good food, good
clothes and good care. It gives a
training which brings health-phy-
steal development = mental quick
ness and self-confdence. 1t sends
YOU back to civil life better equipped
for American citizenship than when
you enlisted.

THE United States Army is open
i for enlistments today. 1t wants
no inferior applicants; it seeks young
men of character and purpose; and
it promises those young men that
the term of their enlistment will be
fruitful years.
They will come back to civil life
in in perfect health - theirS muscles,
their eyes, their bearing all evidence

GOVERNMENT CONTROL.

From time to time we are reminded
that we have much to learn from
Great Britain in matters of govern
mental efficiency, says The Nations
Business. To illustrate it's prints the
following story:
Urged to raise pigs to meet the food
shortage, loyal Briton bought two
for about $40 and built them a sty in
his garden. Then he learned that he
was farmer and must register as
breeder of swine. His next lesson in
the beauty of government control
came in the shape of a notice that food
or-pigs had been rationed and that he
could not buy it without a form. By
the time the form came both pigs were
i'll. Result a veterinary bill of $40 but
only one pig died. Then came three
policemen who decided that swine fe-
yer might have been the cause and
told him he couldn't bury the pig
without an autopsy. A week later
came-an official pig doctor who said
the cause of death was lack of food.
One more week and the board of
agriculture officially freed the farm
Of all faint of swine fever. Then the
loyal Briton killed the other pig and
reckoned that his pork had cost little
more than 81 a pound.
That was the end of the pigs but
not the end of government control.
The patriotic pig raiser is told that he
is a farmer and will be taxed about
S35 on his farm"
A considerable percentage of our
high cost of living in this country is
due to similar causes. We maintain a
large army of inspectors of almost ev-
cry line of business-local, state and
national inspectors-who usually are
paid from fees collected from the con-
Germs inspected. The extra expenses
of doing business of course are
charged up to the consumer.
We have inspectors of our supplies
of meat and milk and inspectors of the
places that sell these articles. We even
have inspectors of the beds in the ho-
tells. The list of government spies on
our actions truly is a long one. And
we must pay them either thru in
creased cost of necessaries or in taxes.

It is estimated that If YOU drive a
truck 5000 miles in a year you Will
save $125 by driving on paved roads;
that you will save at least $50 on
passenger automobile. This is for gas
oline only. You have never broken a
spring on a paved road but hundreds
are broken each year on dirt roads
The cheapest front spring is 81 and
rear spring s12. Authorities on tires
claim that you get at least so per cent
more mileage on paved roads. Tires
range in price from s25 up. In order
to hurry up the construction of better
highways it is necessary that the good
roads amendment to the constitution
be adopted by the voters at next Tues
days election.
