The Plattsburg Idea to be
Expanded. Better and
Bigger Camp Next Year

According to an officer of the Cen
eral Staff of the United States Army.
the Plattsburg training camp for
civilians will be enlarged next year
to accommodate three times this
years quota. Such enlargement will
mean opportunity for 2,4OO citizens.
In addition to the enlarging of the
Plattsburg camp there is chance that
larger number of camps covering
more sections Of the country will be
opened. The Military Training Camps
Association is working for the ex-
tension of the Plattsburg type of
camp to other parts of the country
and is preparing legislation for the
Improvement of the training camp
system.

not to be member of the association.
Practically every farmer in the coun-
ty is a member and at their annual
banquet last year held at Washington
Court House, the county seat, a city
OF about 1000 inhabitants, more than
1000 hunters and fishermen were
present.
This is typica of many other Ohio
counties. These organizations create
the proper sentiment relating to fish
and game protection and conservation
in their respective communities. They
take it entirely out Of the hands of
the lawless element. Some of the
larger associations in Ohio have as
many as 5000 members, each member
pledged to do his share in reporting
violations or in molding sentiment
favorable toward wild life propaga-
ton and conservation"

IN MEMORIAM

He has gone to mansion of rest,
From a region of sorrow and pain;
To the glorious land o. the blest,
Where he never can suffer again.
Gone but not forgotten.
By Mother, Father and Brother
John A. and Mary A. Joyce and
Brother Harry C. R. Joyce.
The loss was bitter, the pain severe,
10 part with one we loved so dear;
We often think of him in silence.
No eyes may see US weep,
But deep within our hearts
His memory we will keep.
Sadly missed by his Aunt and Un-
cle-John L. and Catharine E.

Heaven retaineth now our treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps,
And the sunbeams love to linger
Where our dear Ellis sleeps.
Gone but not forgotten by friend,

ITO give an example Of what can
be done in any county when the

task of making better hunting and
fishing conditions and to support the

mention Fayette County, Ohio. In
this county the sportsmens organiza-

out of the room, called for his car,
and went home.
The next day Collins received a
memo from his employer that caused
