Jimmie Collins Tells V/hat He Saw—
What Military Training Coes
for Boys.
“Well, here we tire!” exclaimed Bil
lie, presenting his chum, Jimmie Col
lins.
"Very glad to see you, Mr. Collins,”
said Uncle Dan with a smile.
“Aw,” said Billie, “Just cull him
Jimmie. That’s the only name he
knows, lie’s the pitcher of our base
ball nine, and lie's some pitcher, too.
Just feel of his arm.”
“Well,” said Uncle Dan, feeling,
“That’s a mighty good arm!”
“Now, boys,” said Uncle Dan, “what
do you want to talk about?"
"Well,” said Jimmie, “I was down to
Galesburg a few months ago when the
boys came home from the Mexican
border. They looked fine. Everybody
was surprised to see how straight they
stood and how manly they were. The
boys seemed proud to wear (he uni
form. 1 tell you their muscles were as
hard as nails. I heard Banker Haskett
say that the training and discipline
the boys had had was exactly what
every boy in the country ought to
have, and that now these boys could
get a belter job at higher pay than
they could have had before. Do you
think that’s so, Uncle Dun?”
Uncle Dan replied: “I have a
friend who employs hundreds of young
men. He always gives boys having
had military training the preference;
he says it pays to do so. He finds
they are more alert, more prompt,
more courteous; they know how to
carry out orders; they are quicker to
think and to act than those without
training. Tie said from his experience
he believed that six or eight months
of intensive military training would
add at least i!0 per cent to a man’s

AFTER FIVE MONTHS.
The two pictures are of the same
young man. The first was taken the
day he enlisted and the second after
he had had five months’ military train
ing. His home is in North Carolina.
earning capacity, and that it was the
host Investment any young man could
make.
“Billie, if you will go up to my room
and bring my small handbag, I will
let you see two photographs of the
same young man, showing what only
five months of intensive training on
the Mexican border did for him.”
The bag was brought. Uncle Dan,
showing the pictures, said: “Well,
here they ure. They tell their own
story and it is a mighty interesting
one. The young man, before training,
lias a discouraged look; lie has seen
but little of the world. There was
very little in his surroundings to bring
him out. When he joined the colors
and Uncle Sain took him in charge,
life for him took on a new meaning,
lie saw a chance to do something and
be something. He woke up. Ills cap
tain says he Is twice the man he was
when he joined the army. This may
| be one of the extreme cases,” said
Uncle Dan. “I can tell you, though,
that war or no war, no one thing will
do the young men of this nation so
__-__
much good in so short a time as a few
months of intensive military training.
It fits a man to fight his own life bat
tles in the business world as well as •
to defend his country and its flag.
“Xeafly every civilized country gives
its boys military training. It is com- j
pulsory. It is based upon the fact that
it is the duty of everyone to help de
fend his country; and as war is now
carried on, no one can do much unless
he is trained. Also, the records show
that the killed and wounded among
untrained troops is nearly three times
as great as it is with well-trained men j
who know how to fight and how to I
protect themselves. By this plan a
nation has trained men to defend her j
and the Individual is a stronger and
better man for the training.
“If the Chamberlain Bill for Mill- !
tary Training is passed by congress, j
as it ought to be, the same thing would 1
he done for millions of other young
men throughout the land. Everybody
ought to demand of his congressman
and senators the passage of this I
bill.”
“All right, sir, exclaimed Jimmie, we
will see Judge Brownell, Mr. Haskett, j
and Professor Slocum, uud get them
busy.”
GAINER BY IMPROVED ROADS
Careful Analysis Shews Greatest
Gain Over Present Conditions Is
Man on Branch Road.
The development of sentiment
for issuing bonds to build permanent
roads has brought to the surfaee many
questions which require careful con
sideration and demand clearly stated
and convincing replies. Of these, the
one recurring most frequently is:
“What advantage is there In a bond is- j
sue for the farmer who lives several
miles from one of the improved !
roads?”
At first glance It would seem tlint
the man living directly upon the im- j
proved road obtains the greatest bene- |
fits, but careful analysis proves that
the greatest gain over present condi- ]
tlons is the man on the side road, j
With the limited road and bridge !
funds usually available in any town- j
ship and the necessity of keeping the
main highways at least in passable
condition, little or nothing is left for
working upon the less traveled roads.
As repair expense practically ceases
when permanent roads are built, the
road and bridge funds formerly spent
on main roads will be released for use
upon the side roads.
In addition, money spent upon these
side roads will go five times as far,
or do five times as much work, as
Soil Road in North Carolina.
when it was spent upon the roads
where heavy travel quickly wiped out
every trace of the improvement. A
reasonable amount of road and bridge
money used in ditching and dragging
side roads will place them in condition
to carry the comparatively light traffic
that passes over them to the main
highway. The man on the side road
will have, in place of a continuous
haul through the mud from farm to
town, a much-improved surface from
farm to the main highway and n high

less expense to the township or coun

Drag After Rain.
Drag the road ns soon after every
rain as possible, but not when the mud
is in such a condition as to stick to
the drag.
