WASHINGTON. D. C.. June 1.-l Those on both sides of the present heated debate as to whether the United States should have a large armament, or a small one. will pre- sumabiy agree that the war depart ment is doing a good thing in offer ing to American citizens this sum- mer military training at government expense without any obligation to serve in the army.
 Those who believe that America should be prepared must surely re- joice at this project to train 10000 young men in arms. At the same time, 1t has been said many times that if a nation has citizenry trained in arms. there is little need for a standing army. If there were half a million men fin this country who were trained as soldiers. the argument of those who favor large standing army would be considerably weakened. And since the taking Of this training is purely voluntary matter, and since it carries no obliga- ton to serve. there is nothing auto cratic or militaristic about it. its ad- vocates point out. Besides this, IL means a physical examination and excellent physical training for the men who take it.
 AltnOuEn the HufnUt& UT dPfA%Na tons already on file exceeds the number of men that can be accom- modated this summer. the war de- partment wants more applications This is for two reasons. In the first place. the men sent to the camps are to be chosen in fixed quotas from various vocational classes. so that Il may not be possible to use all Of the present applicants. Besides this the war department hopes to increase the size of the camps and wants ions list of applicants from which to draw in future years. and probably as evi- dence to show congress the popular demand for this training. So if you are interested, send in your applica' tion.
 Eligibility
 This offer applies to all boys anS young men between the ages or l' and 35 years. at the Civilian Train ing Camps which are to be opened in army corps areas all over tn, country. There is no string attached requiring entrants to serve any perio' of time in the United States army All those who take this training an' prove capable at it. will gain degre of eligibility for commissions in tn army if they ever do desire to ente the military service at later date The plans now being formulate for such camps. contemplate mont of training for 10.soO young America citizens. It Is hoped that these camp may prove satisfactory enough To arrangements to be made on large scale in the future. Lt- Col. Tottei

 In order to be eligible, the appli- cant must. in addition to being with in the required age limit. be an Amer ican citizen. or at least have taken out first naturalization papers. be physically fit. though no rigid speci- ncations will be necessary: must take the regular anti-typhoid prophy- laxis and be vaccinated against smallpox before arrival at camp. such treatment being given free of charge by army surgeons to all who have not doctors certificates dated within three years. and must submit a cer- tificate to the effect that he is of good moral character and average general intelligence, signed by a school master. clergyman. priest. or rabbi. Those under IS years of age must have parental consent.
 Each student will bring to camp only one piece of hand luggage. con- taining night clothes, underwear. socks. towels and toilet articles.

Ammunition will be pro- vided in accordance with the small arms firing regulations, Good food in sufficient quantities is emphasized and will be provided "as prescribed by the secretary of war from time to time" No one who has seen that | genial parsonage would doubt his this momentous phase of the equip ment.
 Government Pays Expenses
 The one expense the student will have is the preliminary paying oi whatever railroad fare Is necessary to take him to camp. He will be re- imbursed after arrival there, at the rate of five cent a mile. If this ar ! engagement is not convenient. tho government will furnish railroad
 tickets and pay back the cost ol meals consumed during the period o
 travel.

As Others See 1t
MR.. BRYAN AND FLORIDA
(Washington Times)

With mixed emotion leaders of the Democratic
party have been specializing as to whether Will
liam Jennings Bryan, Tio has daser ed Nebraska
and taken up his permanent residence in Florida
is seriously contemplating offering himself as a
candidate for the United States senate from his
adopted state. Senator Trammes term expires
on March 4, 1928, so there will be election
for senator next year. When asked as to his
attitude toward this situation, Mr. Bryan merely
remarks that he has no plans which may mean
much or little. He expects to vote in Florida at
the next election, having by that time qualified
elector.
There is rather general belief that the voters
of Florida would be inclined to look upon Mr.
Bryan as a carpetbagger if he aspred to the SEN
atorship after only years legal residence in the
state, notwithstanding his eminence in the party
councils and the prestige he might add to Flor
ida. The people down there appear to have
notion that senator ought to win his spurs be-
fore taking seat in the upper branch of con
gress, Senator Fletcher for instance, previous
to his election to the senate was member Of
the Florida legislature, mayor of Jacksonville.
chairman of the Board of Public instruction of
Duval county and chairman of the State Demo-
cratic executive committee Senator Trammell,
before coming to Washington. was mayor of
Lakeland, served in both the house of represen-
tatiVes and the senate of Florida and was attor-
ney general and governor of the state
This would indicate that the Democrats of
Florida are committed to the policy of promoting
their public officials demanding that they work
their way up from the bottom If they intend to
apply this policy to Mr.. Bryan, it might be well
for the young orator to look the situation over
with a view to running for mayor of Miami for
start and stepping from that into the governor
ship These two offices attained, the senatorship
might properly be considered within his reach.
FLORIDA doubtless appreciates the honor of Mr.
Bryans advent to its citizenship and properly so,
but it is not yet clear that she is pleased to the
point where she is ready to hand over to him one
of her most important public Offices

RICHES

II mad loads OF money existence would be
sunny, the poor fish sadly means; I'm certainly
disguised with being always busted when other
men nave bones. The rich man has no sorrow ;
If he should try to borrow grief 'twould be in
vain; for money is the basis of all the joy that
chases around this mundane plain" But when
man has riches his walls, in dismal pitches,
assail the gates of morn of all men who have
anguish, of all who wilt and languish he seems
the most forlorn. All kinds of grafters fret him,
the tax collectors get him, and leave him sick
and sore; his pet investments fzze, his tears
fall in a drzze, and life becomes bore The
people tire and ink him. because they try to work
him, and rend him from his kale; he has no
friends to cherish, all his affections perish and
all his longings fail. OF all the idle dreamers
and all the ruthless schemers he is the proper
prey; the robbers make him tremble and gold
brick mon assemble around him on his way
The hates of men revolt him, the eyes of envy
jolt him, and everywhere he wends he meets
the whining needy. the covetous and greedy but
seldom meets with friends. And when we envy
riches, while digging useful bitches or saving
helpful wood, our taste must be lamented so let
US be contented, and labor and be good

MOTOR CAR OWNERSHIP
(Palatka Daily News.)

tFalatka Daily NeWS)
Under new law which has recently gone into
effect in Ohio, it will be necessary for automo
Die drivers to carry with them the bill of sale for
their cars. While this will be nuisance some
times to the honest man. it will be still more of
protection. 1t will make it easier to check
up on stolen machines to detect persons susDect-
ed of theft and to put an end to the traffic in
stolen cars.
Just like all other laws, this one will be the
OBJECT OF much evasion. Doubtless there will be
more or less traffic in spurious sales bills. But
a little investigation should soon determine
whether bill of sale is genuine or not. and the
document offers more tangible evidence than al
most anything else. In spite of a new coat of
paint and new number on the car, the bill Of
sale will prove to be the sleuth hound which
sooner or later will track the deceiver to his
lair.
1t would be a good thing if this law we're uni
versal. As it stands it will help somewhat in
interstate thievery cases. but until all the states
adopt common code there can be no general
security.

Daily Poem
DIC0NTENT
(By Berton Braiey)

tBy Berton Braiey)
Don't be contented; never mind the
folk
Who preach contentment as the
highest yiItue.
VINO bid you plod along until you al
most croak
AS though ambition were "a thing to
hurt you.
Never be satisfied with what YOU are,
Contentmeht is q phrase by fools
invented;
Go Oil and hitch your wagon to a star,
DOM be contented.
Il man had been content since time
began
We'd still be monkeys from the
branches swinging,
Without the will to change, to dream
and plan;
And all brave tales OF wonder that
are ringing
Down centuries of time would be as
nought;
Progress was ever by unrest
fomented,
It's discomfort that sirs the word to
thought;
Don't be contented!
Keep wanting more-more money and
more fun,
More education and broader vision;
Don't be complacent over what you We
done,
Keep on-keep on, in spite OF all
derision;
Seek, with hope that will not lie de-
MED,
Each chance for growth that for
tune has presented;
And always keep your mind unsatis-
fed,
Don't be contentedl
