which ultimately furnishes officers as
well as soldiers. Our regular army Is
small. If it had to be. expanded into
an organization ten times its size, as
happened in 1917, 1t would be faced
with the same difficulty of finding
enough trained men to lead in the
formation of the smaller units in each
company. Already the time is past
when the country can depend on the
veterans of the World War. Even the
youngest of: these are beginning to
pass the age of greatest military util-
ity. They justly feel that their jun

BEFORE ELY.

The Ely Junior High swimming team
again came out victorious in their

strength of this and the overwhelm-
ing victories over such strong teams as
the Virginia Junior High with a score
of IL to 48; the Chisholm Junior High,
to So; Aurora Senior High, 90 to 40
and last Friday the Bull Senior High,
81 to 80, Coach Herseth will lay claim
to the Junior High championship al
though no such championship has ever
been held officially.
Members of the team are Rudolph
Krall, Capt, Toiyo Arvola, Urho Elf
wing, Darcy Goard, Alfred Kittila,
Waino Kosh, Wilbert Pietila, Jos. Pu-
Gel, Onni Tanttari and Arvo WALL. In
the meet on Friday, Bull captured 81
points to Ely's 38. The score shows
up as follows: Ely, four firsts, five
seconds and five thirds Bull, four
flrsts, three seconds and one third.
The last meet for the season will be
held Friday evening, May 4 at 7:30
between the Ely Senior and Junior

WHAT is FAIR WEATHER?

Front page news for a good many
people begins with the little box In the
upper corner of the paper that tells
them whether or not to leave their
umbrellas at home in the morning. A
prophecy of "fair" is often disappoint-
ing. for the term may include cloudy
or threatening sky, or even a slight
sprinkle, not enough to dampen the
front lawn, but quite enough to spot
a new spring hat. Is the weather man
wrong, or merely misunderstood?
One difficulty is that fair" as ap-
piled to weather is meteorological
term. Most dictionaries take note OF
this in defining the word, but the lay
reader of the newspaper. hoping for a
beautifully clear day. may expect too
much Official observers of weather
conditions are told to use the word
flair in rendering reports. The
Weather Bureau of the United States
Department of Agriculture on its FORE
cast work considers a day as "fair"
when not more than 001 inch of, pre-
cipitation is expected to occur within
the period covered by the forecast.
BY precipitation is meant rain, or
snow reduced to its water equivalent.
The term has in the past also been
used, although not in forecasts, to de-
note state of the sky between over
cast and clear The expressions
cloudy" or partly cloudy" are modi-
flcationS of fair weather forecast,
indicating that the weather is not ex-
pected to be clear.
Looking over various dictionary de-
finitionS and standards set for Wealth
er Bureau observers, flair" is gener-
ally found to embrace certain de-
gree of cloudiness and unsettled con-
ditions. In forecasts it signifies alb
sence of measurable precipitation.

has kept faith with dead and disabled
the last great step in keeping its pledge
to them. by securing in this session of
congress if possible, passage of the
universal draft bill.
At Duluth and ST. Paul, Commander
Spafford recently spoke over the radio
at Legion banquets, declaring that the
Capper- johnson Universal Draft bill
will be the finest piece of legislation
which the Legion has sponsored; that
1t will outlaw war profiteers and slack
ers; that it will require all men be-
tween 81 and 80 to answer. the call of
service. and will enable the president
to take any steps necessary to main
tain peace or prosecute war, without
losing valuable time waiting for Con-
gress to act.
1.-THE universal draft bill does not
provide for capital and labor conscrip-

under our constitution But it will
protect the younger generation. Leg

But they can help prepare those who
will defend Old Glory if necessity de-

draft bill they can make permanent
peace more possible. They ask all
citizens to request congressman and
senators to support the Capper-John-
son bill, H. F. 1913 or S. F. 1889. Full

CITIZENS MILITARY TRAINING
CAMPS.

That interest in the Citizens Mill
tary Training Camps to be held In
the Seventh Corps area this summer
is growing is evidenced by the fact
that over 1000 applications have al
ready been received Governors,
Chambers of Commerce, Patriotlc
Societies, and many other organiza-
tons throughout the Seventh Corps
Area are manifesting their interest
by letters, resolutions, and newspap-
er publicity.
Parents of young men between the
ages of IT and "a are applying for in
formation and applications. They
show their faith in the movement by
their willingness to entrust their sons
10 Uncle Sam for their care Tor one
month. Letters received from them
after the camps in 1927 are almost
unanimous IN expressing appreciation
of the practical advantages accruing
from training camp life to their sons.
Parents will be invited again this year
by General Smith to attend the
camps, and special provisions will
again be made on visitore day to &C
quaint the public with the activities
taking place within them.
The following extract from an edi-
torial in the New York Times" evil
dences the interest shown throughout
the East in sthe G. M. T. c.:
"Once more the Government offers
the young men of the country the OPP
portunity to devote month to con-
densed military training Those who
60 are under no obligation to enlist.
One danger of democratic form of
government is that the rudiments of
military training are too long and
too much neglected by the citizenry.

then, is how to treat it when it comes.
DR.. Caldwell always was in favor of
getting as close to nature as possible
hence his remedy for constipation
known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep,
sin. is a mild vegetable compound. It
can not harm the most delicate sys-
tenn and is not habit forming prep
tasting, and youngsters love it, It
does not grippe. Thousands of mothers
have written lis to that effect.
DR.. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they were good for human
beings TO put into their system. In a
practice of AZ years he never saw anv
reason for their use when a medicine
like Syrup PepSin will empty the
bowels just as promptly. more cleanly
and gently. without gripping and harm
to the system.
Keep free from constipation. 1t
robs your strength. hardens your
arteries and brings on premature old
age. Do not let day go by without

These rates would be fixed an
