A FEW REMARKS

The NewS-DiSpatch says Cnat
everybody seems to have q pet.
scheme concerning one thing or
another. The other day we saw
DR.. B. A. Wilcox looking over a.
pile of watermelons. He would tap
his shoes with his knuckels and
them tap melon. When the
sound from tapping your shoes is
exactly like that wher you tan the
melon, you have a melon that is
just right. he explained.
A man can make or lose a fort

goodbye to each other.

Here is the most sensible edl-
torial that has appeared IN the
Ripley Sentinel in ten years:
There are some people who are
lust naturally so lazy and trlfilng
that they won't work or try TO
make a living to pay their deDts
and vet they think they ought, to
have as much as anybody else.
And strange as it may seem that
class of people are always SIAN
dering and criticising the man who
has worked hard and made come
thing. They look upon the pros
porous man as an enemy to s0cle-
ty. Of all men who should have
The supreme contempt of his coun-
try ii is the lazy sluggard who
won't provide for himself and
family. He is worse than an IN
fidel.
An exchange says that short
skirts have saved the lives Of many
women. Just so, no doubt, but
think of the many men who nave
been run over while looking back
over their shoulders.

that eating too much is just as Dad
as drinking too much. He ought TO

There is a vast difference be-
tween Henry Ford and the other
railroad magnates of the country.
Henry has taught them how to re-
duce freight rates with out re-
ducing their net incomes, but they
pefsistentiy refuse to be taught.

Congress is considering the cutting
down of the standing Army to $4,000
mon. This means that surplus OF
about $4,000 men would nave TO 20
honorably discharged when their en-
nstments expire. While nominaiiy
the fluctuation in the size of the United
States Army is not a matter of general
concern. there are indications Of wide
spread disappointment among tne
Young men who had been rushing into
the Army to get the benefits OF the
new educational system.
From practically every Army corps
area i'm the United States has come
word of the success of the. educational
and vocational training system which
has been in operation for about year
enlisted graduates Of commercial
courses are serving as instructors ana
clerks in many posts, graduates OF
printing schools are earning, SINCE
wages in the trades, and enlisted men
who have studied agriculture ana trac-
tor work are finding many opportunl-
ties to make good use of their train
ing.
It is a safe bet that the educational
system started in the Army has. come
to stay. The big question 10 how far
the United States government should
provide educational opportunities for the
many boys who want the military lie
as we'll Either the cutting down OF
the Army to 175.e0o men will mean some
plan whereby enlistments are accepted
for q year and no longer, or else regu-
lars who have been in the service for
years will have to be encouraged to seek
honorable discharge SO as to make way
for the youngsters desiring vocational
and general education.
Commenting on the educational sys-
tenn. Mai. Gen. Liggett OF the Sth Corps
area. at San Francisco, writes:
''Education is necessity: vocational
training is a necessity; recreation is a
necessity. The present scheme of opera
ton has proven, by obtaining definite
results. that the program Of educational
and vocational training and recreation
can be successfully carried out in the
Army"
