THE PLATTsBUlR RG CAMP AGAIN

! Perhaps the greatest testimonial tt
the success of the Citizens Militar!
Training Camps since the war lies il
the number of men who are anxious
: to return to camp each year. Also
many of the big business concerns are
planning once more to make special
arrangements so as to allow those of
their employees who wish to go to
Plattsburg to do so. Not only have
the men enjoyed their experience and
been keen to repeat it, but employers
have found a distinct improvement in
the health and moral Of those who
have gone to the camps. This is no
surprise to any one familiar with the
work of the Plattsburg camps, either
today or in the days before the war.
The movement which was made ma
tion-wide following the Summer
camps in 1915 has taken a hold which
appears to be permanent. Even the
natural let-down after the war failed
to dampen the ardOr of those who
know of the opportunities and ad-
vantages of Plattsbury, and since they
have been able to pass along the good
word to their friends the interest has
been steadily growing.
No one supposes that a thorough
military training can be had by going
for one month a year to Plattsburg for
three years. But it is easy in that |
period of time to become grounded in
the fundamentals of the duties jof the |
soldier. Only those who saw the splen- |
did work done by the graduates of the |
Plattsburg camps of 1915 and, 1916 .
when it came to organizing the Ma
tional Army can appreciate to the full
the value of such a short training. It
is safe to say that had it not been for
the camps before the war the entire
training of the National Army would
have been materially delayed. To the
of the Plattsbury idea is
due much credit for the successful
outcome of the war
1t is not alone for the rudiments of
training that the Plattsburg
camp is valuable. 1t affords those who
attend it an opportunity to acquire a
new conception of service and gives
hem clearer idea than they former
y had that there are responsibilities
is well as rights of citizenship.
Furthermore it yields them an ad-
nirable training in practical demo-
racy. 1t is impossible to live in
ent with seven men from all walks
f life, to share with them the hard
hips of grilling drills under a boil
lg sun and of narrowing hikes car
wing packs that with every step grow
eavier, without developing a new
ense of comradeship and a new re-
Dect for individual character as op-
Osed to position or occupation. And
1ally one cannot go through the rig
'ous physical training of a Platts-
lrg camp without coming away
ronger and healthier, and with new :
nse of discipline and heightened II
orale. Inasmuch as all of these ad-
ntages may be had for the asking, H
those between the ages of II and
who are physically sound and of
od moral character, and inasmuch
the numbers who may go are re-
'icted by inadequate appropriations
Congress, all who are able to get
the Plattsburg camp on August 1
Ould consider themselves lucky.

However, it doesn't make much

that we are sporting" pure gold.
The value of gold is largely mag
mary. Isn't it true Of all other
values, barring actual necessities?
About 45 out OF every 100 pounds
of gold boarded for money pur-
poses in the whole world now is in
the United States. American gold
hoardings, by early spring, prob
ably will exceed four billion dol
lars.
A considerable part of this huge
amount is with US only temporari-
ly. As the years slip by, a lot Of
it will flow back where it was be-
fore the war and where it belongs
in any well-balanced system Of in

ed economists caution that it
would be unwise to use any part
of our gold stock which may not
be here permanently, as basis
for expansion Of credits to foreign
countries. The bankers will attend
to that while the rest of US look

TRADING AT HOME
is WHAT is NEEDED.

1t would be surprising to know
just how many folks in Americas
and environs are patrons Of The
mail order houses, especially when
we have so many good stores
where folks can get things with so
little trouble. Folks in patroniz-
ng these foreign mail order hous-
es do not seem to take into consid-
GRAFTON that these houses do not
contribute one cent to the upbuild-
ing OF Americas. After paying
freightage and exchange on the
money sent these folks, our peo-
pie get very little bargains after
all.
A campaign is now on in sew
eral cities for more attention to
be given home products. A trade
at home spirit should always be
in order the year around and not
go at it spasmodically as we are
wont to do it. Civic pride and
community spirit is in evidence on
all sides, but it cannot be denied.
folks do continue to patronize the
mail order houses. All things be-
ing equal loyalty to the home mer-
chant, will at least keen our money
at home.
On this subject the Birmingham,
(Ala.) News has this to say:
\ The Livingston Southern Home
remarks that the rise in the price
of cotton has been worth ninety
million dollars to Alabama, and
then inquiries how much of this
money will remain in the state, or
be spent for things manufactured
or produced in the state? 1t will
largely go outside for automobiles,
canned goods, packing-house prod
ucts, cloth and clothing, and
great many things which are pro-
duced here in Alabama which
ought to be consumed in Alabama.
ut is a point we'll taken, and
one which a great many communi
ties are thinking about, not espe-
cially with reference to this nine
ty millions Of dollars, but as
matter of settled policy. People
are not called upon to patroniza
home industry and home products
when they are inferior to those
which may be obtained elsewhere.
but all things being equal, it is
duty and obligation upon the
good citizen in case of equality of
product, to held build his COM
munity and his state. The results
OF a course of the sort persisted
IN even by minority of the popu-
lation can be readily seen in
greater prosperity for all concern
ed. Patriotism, community and
state pride, and personal interest,
all impel such course, and yet,
in spite of these arguments, how
few persons really take the trou-
bic to demand the homemade
goods er display any interest in
the matter one way or the other "

WORTH HIS WEIGHT
IN GOLD.

In grandpa's day, about the best
possible compliment was He's
worth his weight in gold" We
still repeat it occasionally.
Check this up and learn some
thing concerning your real value.
About $4,000 worth of gold
weighs as much as the average
American. Four per cent inter
est on $4,000 is $500 a year.
So anyone earning $500 a
year is worth his weight in gold
The man with an income of 3d.
coo year is worth twice his
weight in gold. And so on upward
or downward.
Your earning power represents
the interest on that intangible val
ue, yourself.
Of course, it's rather futile to
Try to put an individuals value on
a money basis, though most people
do. The scientist who isolates a
disease germ and learns how to
check its slaughter of human lives
is worth, to humanity, more than
all the gold in existence. So with
inventors, far-sighted organizers
and people who by their daily eX-
ample epread the contagion of
common honesty and the brother
hood Of man.
Another old-time expression is
pure as gold" It doesn't mean
as much as most of us believe.
Gold 100 per cent pure can be
seen in the chemists laboratory.
But it is rarely used in such pure
form commercially.
Ia most Amcrican-made jewelry,
The gold is only SO per cent of the
metal, and the rest Is alloy.

A delightful affair of the past week
among the younger set was the party
on Wednesday evening at which Mrs.
Edmund Oliver entertained in honor
of her daughter Autry. The living
room was decorated with Jonquils
and other yellow flowers placed in
vases and baskets. Rock was en-
joyed. A pleasant feature of the
evening was the opening of the Val
entine box, which contained a mes
sage for each guest. Mrs. Oliver as
sisted by Autry Oliver and Louise
McGarrah served refreshments. Thy
guests were Gladys Logan, Catherine
Logan, Elizabeth Jennings, Mildred
Andrews, Laura Kennedy, Gladys

A HOUSE OF SORROW
By Ruth Agnes Abeling

Can you see anything?" Latham
asked, following the direction Of
Rates gaze.
Kate was looking toward the back
of the shop. From the room, off the
dim passageway, which she recog-
nized as Sing Logs gorgeous bed
room, rays of light slanted. 1t seemed
to her that Sing Logs wailing came
from there.
Dared she venture back she asked
herself.
"WiH you wait here while I go
back l know him a little-perhaps
he wouldn't object to my coming, :"
she whispered and then left Latham
standing alone in the shadoWy front
room, while she made her way eau
tiously toward the back Of the shop.
A low, fiat pile Of freshly washed
and dried clothes lay, ghost-ike on
a long table. She halted, frightened
for the minute,
But like a magnet the sound from
the back attracted her. She moved
on. AS she entered the passageway
back of the ironing room she stopped
again. The place was narrow. Its
intense blackness was broken only
bv the thin rays of light which slant
ed from the room ahead.
Kate stood waiting fearing to
go on.
She sensed presence back of her.
