CITIZENS TRAIN
At CAMP GRANT
SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY STILL
OPEN TO THOSE WHO DE-
SIRE THE TRAINING.

Realizing the benefits accruing to
the country and the individual who is
fortunate enough to be able to attend
the summer camps TO be held under
War Department supervision, the
Peoples Gas Company, Of Chicago,
has signified its willingness to allow
such of its employees who desire to
attend the Citizens Military Training
Camp at Camp Grant July 81 70
August 20, leave of absence for the
full time. Other big business houses
inform these applicants Of like
privilege. Il seems that the impress
sion has gone around that this camp
is for the unemployed. Such is not
the case. All applicants will have to
show certificate Of character and
good health and will be selected from
all walks Of life A real cross section
of the youth of the country is desired
that an adequate idea may be OBJ
tanned as to the need and desrability
of continuing these camps in the flu
ture. Great stress will be laid on
character building and supervised
athletics, with enough of the military
features to make the course entirely
interesting and of value to the stu
dent.
No thinking person can forget the
difference in the appearance of the
young men Of this country after they
had been in the training camps few
weeks during the preparatory days of
1917 and 1913. Color and stature was
the evidence of healthy body, and
the result Of this training will last for
years. Why not give the same OPP
portunity for development to the
young man Of today who was de-
barred from the late war on account
of age? The camp this year is for
the boy who has had no previous mil
itary training, and it is hoped in
the next camp to give him an adj
vanced course in military science that
eventually he will be equipped and
fit to become a reserve officer in the
army Of the United States.
Applications may be obtained at
1924 Ford bldg, Detroit, Michigan.

Child Is Not
Naturally Thin

There is no sucn animal as a ma
turally thin child"
That is the flat opinion expressed
by DR.. John w. Plant of the Michi-
gan State Department Of Health in an
article in the July issue of michigan
Out-of-DoOrs." DR.. Plants dictum goes
against the grain Of the prejudices Of
millions Of mothers who excuse the
skinniness of their children by the
vague statement that Johnnie or Sally
or Mary or BERTHE is naturally thin"
Mothers who use this phrase, ac-
cording to DR.. Plant, are confusing
effect with cause. They seem to inn
ply in the statement that their child
rem are thin because nature meant
them to be thin, whereas the fact
is that they are thin because there is
something wrong with them.
When Il child is underweight, there
is always something wrong, without
exception, according to the article. 1t
may be that he does not get enough
to eat, due either to lack of food or
more often to mistakes in diet. Or it
may be that he has some physical de-
feet, like adenods, diseased tonsils,
rotten teeth, and so on. 1t may be
that he has some hidden disease, like
hidden tuberculosis for instance. But
in all cases, without exception, it can
be taken for granted that when a
child is underweight, there is some
thing the matter with him. Calling
him naturally thin" is begging the
question to the child's permanent
harm.
The thing to do with the so-called
naturally thin" child, according to
DR.. Plant, is TO find out exactly what
is the matter and then proceed to
correct it. That is the scientific as
well as the commonsense way of
handling such case, and that is the
sure way to prevent tuberculosis,
which preys upon the weak, from
making further inroads upon the
children Of the state.

PUBLIC RESPONDS TO
NEW AUTOMOBILE PRICES

The response to the announcement
of new prices for Chevrolet cars
proves that the company has done the
right thing.
Reports from more than four thou
sand Chevrolet dealers throughout the
United States and Canada show a ire
mendous increase in the number of
orders everywhere. The eight great
factories and assembly plants of the
company are all working to greater
capacity than at any time for the
past year.
The public has learned to appreci-
ate value in automobiles as in every
thing else. In offering a completely
equipped quality car at the lowest
price on the market the company has
met the public on the latter's own
terms. And the public is taking quick
advantage Of the opportunity.
IL is proving the company justified
in its action. It is proving that there
is greater desire and greater actual
need for automobiles today than ever
before.
The motor car has proved itself a
necessary utility. Motor transpor-
tation is essential, in all business and
individual progress. It has taken its
place with food, clothing, shelter and
fuel.
Because Of this the automobile bus.
mess has survived the greatest crisis
in its history. The soundness Of the
business through which each company
has grown in the past is proved by its
ability to take its losses at this time
Having done this it faces an ever
greater demand and greater business
in the future advertisement.

General Summary

Under the influence of continued
high temperatures, excessive sunshine
and copious rains all crops have con-
tinued the remarkable development
noted in last weeks bulletin. In iso-
lated localities the rain was accom-
panied by high wind and hail which
lodged and beat down corn and stand
ing grain. Over the southern coun-
ties corn is in tassel, wheat and rye
harvest nearly finished, threshing be-
gun and harvesting these crops is
general over the northern counties
Oats are ripening rapidly and har-
vesting has begun in the southern tier
of counties; because of the dry wealth
er the straw is so short that many
fields will have to be cut with now
ing machines. Early potatoes are be
ing dug in the southwestern counties.
Moderate to heavy rains fell over
the northern counties greatly reliev-
ing the drought but it came too late
TO save some of the crops. Many late
potatoes did not come up and early
planted potatoes are at standstill.
The growth of oats was retarded so
that they are being pastured. Buck
wheat is being sown. The berry crop
will be very light. Over the southern
portion Of the Upper Peninsula the
grasshopper invasion is serious, The
second cutting Of clover and alfalfa is
general over the Lower Peninsula.

NEW YORK MINING MAN
 IS FROZEN TO DEATH

Tom Ward, president and general manager of the Ward Copper Com. pany of New York, was found frozen to death a few miles from Teller, Alaska, Januarwy 12, according to word reaching here from Nome.
 According to the report, Ward left the company's mining camp in the interior of Seward peninsula with an Eskimo man and woman and two dog teams, en route to Teller, reindeer station on Grantley harbor. After reaching the top of the divide above Teller, the three became lost in the darkness. The Eskimos said they de- cided to go back to a cabin they had passed, but Ward proceeded on alone.
 For the next two days, the Eski- mos said, they were storm bound in the cabin and on the third day bat tied their way into the station, only to learn that Ward had not arrived A searching party started out the following day and found Wards sled and dog team on Dewer creek. There were evidences that Ward had spent the night there. The temperature during the night had been 20 degrees below zero and Ward was known to have only robe to protect him from the cold.
 Members of the searching party said Ward had evidently left his team on the morning of the 18th and started for Teller 10 miles dis tant. He probably became confused, they said, and headed in the wrong direction. The body was found on the Teller side of Grantly harbor, about 20 miles from Teller.

FALLING OFF IN VALUE CATTLE
 FROM CANADA

CALGARY, Alta, Feb 15 (by As sociated ress).-Albertas exports to the United States during the year 1920 were approximately $3,00O,000 less than in 1919, due wholly to the decrease in the export of cattle, &C., cording to the annual export returns of the province compiled by S. c. Reed, United States consul in Cal gary. The decrease in the value of cattle shipped across the line by Albertans during 1920, as compared with the year 1919, was $6,979,861.
 However, large increases are noted in the export of wheat, oats, rye and barley, as well as meat and meat products.

BUSBYS FIRST
 TRIP OUTSIDE
 IN MANY YEARS

"The sTanana valley harvested 5000 bushels of two varieties of wheat this season. We have a 25-barrel flour mill in course of erection and will soon be supplying the interior with home-milled flour" said Harry Busby who accompanied by Mrs. Busby and two children, was an incoming pas senger from Fairbanks, en route to California, where Mrs. Busby is journeying for her health, says the Anchorage Times. This is the first trip outside for Mrs. Busby in six teen years and for MT Busby in twenty-one years.
 In addition to being one of those who proved that agriculture was success in the interior of Alaska, MT. Busby is president of the Tan ana Valley Agricultural Association, and has just disposed of a big farm for 8 good sum. He will remain out side few months and will return to resume his agricultural and busi- ness energies.
 Mir. and Mrs. Busby and the kiddies came over Broad Pass in one of the Cooney 14-dog outfits and they have nothing but the highest praise for the transportation facilities, stopping places and the Alaskan engineering commission.
 The sight of energetic activity along the line, the perfect system of transportation and the fast-develop- ing country en route filled MT. Busby with enthusiasm.
 "We have waited and labored," he said, land are now beginning to re- ceive our reward for faith in the ter ritory. I look for one of the great est booms in the history of the coun- try as soon as the outside world learns of what we have in the south west and the interior.
 Already mining is taking on activi- ty in preparation for the coming of the railroad when machinery can be taken in and we intend to supply the bulk of the foodstuffs needed in de- veloping the country"

KETCHIKAN, Feb. 15.-Discovery of a human skeleton lying partly under a log on Etlin Island, near Lincoln rocks, was reported to Unit ed States Commissioner J. F. Warden by Ben Larson, employed at the Sawyer & Mckay logging camp. The skeleton, which was found about thirty feet from the beach, apparent ly had been there a great number of years. No marks on the skull were found to indicate that death had come by other than natural causes. The skeleton is believed to be that of some trapper who was possibly taken i'll, and crawled be- meath the shelter of the log to die.
 Commissioner Warden ordered the skeleton buried where it was found.
