the shores of these beautiful lakes

resorts, both public and private, and
thousands of people flock here from
all over the country for their summer

tween twelve fast motorbOats, the
speediest of which, though not the
winner of the race, was "P. j." capa-
bic of cutting through the water at
nearly 30 miles an hour. The race
was five times around course of five
miles, and while the speed Of the
boats entered varied greatly, the han
dicap was so carefully figured out
ish line within half minute after the
winner. Some of the boats were on
their last lap when the fastest boats
started on the race. After lunch the
party was taken in the boats to Camp
Winnepe, a large summer camp for
boys. where the editors cars were
waiting for them having been driven
over from Eagle River
Early in the afternoon drive, the
party passed through Sunset farm, the
farm of thousand acres, which last

After brief trip to w. D. Connor's
summer home on the shores of Birch

water nesting in virgin forest, the
party was escorted to the gymnasium
of one of the finest and most modern
school buildings in the state. No

The visitors to Laona were i'm
pressed with the fact that the village
had been built by men who had a
vision of better things than merely a
means to grind out all the money
possible with the least possible return.
Besides the excellent school, Laona
has a fine hospital a strictly modern
hotel the Gordon, a public library,
newspaper, bank and one of the most
up-to-date department stores to be
found anywhere.
From Laona an evening drive was
made to Amigo, where the night was
spent. Tuesday forenoon, the con-
Guiding business session was held at
che city hall, Amigo. The officers for
the past year were reelected: John

Amigo business men furnished the
ears that took the party on trip
through the farming section of Lang
Jade county Tuesday. At noon, the
party was feted at the Muskie Inn at
Eicho, as the guest of Chas. W. Fish,
said to be the largest individual lum-
Der operator in the country. A concert
by the Elcho band preceded the ele-
CANT luncheon, served in the spacious
banquet hall of the hotel. Mr.. Fish

These letters. point out that to take
away the discipline that the Military
Training Commission has been giving TO
working boys in big industrial plants
will be serious loss to tha State. In
answer to Gov Miller's comment that
the work could be carried on by volun-

does not reach boys over Ia. The State

been bringing under discipline the tough

crime wave has proved. ore among the
potential gunmen and hlghwaymen.
A New York brokers' office, according
to a letter received by the commission,
engaged a dozen or more boys as mes
sengers and runners. Some were of the
most obstreperous kind. husky men
being required to keep them in order.
A few months ago the boys were all
forced into military training unit.
They enjoyed the drills. and the
brokers' office one morning was sur
prised to see them all march in in mill
tary formation and take their seats.
Whenever one was called he stood up,

Then ended the disturbances the boys
had caused, and the brokers' office soon
found that their overseer was not
needed. The boys had just as much fun
carrying out the military discipline as
they had enjoyed in raising the devil"
said the letter.
The Military Training Commission is
arranging a State wide athletic pro-
gramme that will interest every work
ing boy in the, state in athletic games.
1t is also planning TO conduct next sum

The appropriation asked for this year
is $607.4S0, compared with sS23.1S5 last

TOTTEN PASSED ALL
TESTS WITH HONOR
Fears Of West Point Cadet
Who Committed Suicide
Prove Unjustified.

The death of Cadet Corporal Dennis
d. Totten of Milford, Conn, at the
United States Military Academy early
Friday morning might have been
averted had he awaited the announce
ment of the result OF the nlidterm eX-
aminations on Friday next Members
of the cadets family were notified Off
cially yesterday that Cadet Totten died
from a self inflicted bullet wound in the
head.
With this information il was stated
officially that Cadet Totten had passed
his examinations with high marks and
his commission as lieutenant was not
endangered. He was 10 be graduated in
June.
The act of the cadet was attributed by
members OF the family to overwork in
eparatiop for the tests. Cadet Totten
comes of long line OF military men
and his father. uncle, brotherin-law
half brother and stepfather all are in
military service. While he was homo
for the holidays he put in long hours al
study and said he wanted to Justify the
hopes of the family in making his COM
mission sure. He appeared to be brood
ing over the matter and to have beer
under mental strain.
When word was received that tht
cadets worries over the outcome Of the
examinations had been unnecessary TIC
view taken by the family was that tht
young man had been in more serious
condition than they realized while he
was home and that he actually suffered
a breakdown. The cadets body wa:
found on the West Point reserva tior
some distance from the barracks.
His body will be taken to Milford
to-day by his uncle. Col James Tottcr
of Washir ton, and Major Perry c.
uoyt. army paymaster at Camp Devens
Mass. The funeral win be held privately
from the home of sister, Mrs. Franz
