LOCALITY IS NOT ALWAYS COMMUNITY

Suggestions For Necessary Improvements In Former. COMMUNITY CAN GO SOME. A community Is different from a locality in that its various members and organizations act in harmony with each other and with common purposes. In a locality it is every fellow for himself and the devil take the hindmost In a community it is every fellow for all the rest and all the rest for every fellow. In a community there cannot be any tin can alleys nor “dog town.” Things have got to come right for the more unfortunate and unhappy

folk er else the more successful And their happiness and success somewhat reduced. In a community Jones understands that if he succeeds Smith must succeed too. Jones knows that his boy Bill Is very likely to marry Mary Smith and therefore he must take an interest in Mary’s education. lie must see to it that she has flowers to ponder over and pluck in the springtime, and that aside from “doing the dishes” and “keeping the house” she finds delight

Summer Constipation Dangerous. Constipation in summer time is more dangerous than in the fall, winter or 'spring. The food you eat is often contaminated and is more likely to ferment in your stomach. Then you are apt to drink much cold water during the hot weather, thus injur-

in music and the mysterious but ultimate philosophy of Maurice Maeter llnck and in the Mexican war. Mr. Jones In a community under stands that his son Robert will give more time to and think more about the habits and features and expres sions of his playmates and their homes than he will to his own father's lite. So he is interested in Smith and Oisori and Pahoushek and whoever lives in the country roundabout He is inter ested in good roads because they make for the happiness, mental alertness and the financial success of Farmer Brown and his daughter. A community Is a group of wideawake, competent, aggressive, successful people. All these qualities begin In the mind, live in the mind, and their limitations are the limitations of the mind. When you stir the mind up and it becomes active, aggressivtrwhen it inquires and will not rest un til it lias found to its in quiry—then you have begun to build a real and everlasting community. The purpose of the Lincoln Chau tauqua program in the minds of its

builders and more particularly in the minds of the business men and lead ing citizens of this community who are backing it is to afford the inspire tion, the suggestion, the delight, which will result in mental aspiration, ambi tions and achievements. Then we would be only mentally a locality ami in every sense a community.

Life Aboard an British Man-of-War.

The British navy is divided’“into several classes of vesesls, each with a somewhat different complement of men. First comes the superdreadnoughts, then the battleships, next armored cruisers; these are again divided into several classes, as heavy armored, scouting and auxiliary. Then would come the gunboats, torpedo boats and torpedo destroyers, and last the submarine. In the battleship class are vessels ranging from the King George down to perhaps the old Barfleur, carrying a crew from 600 to 1,500 men. The guns would be from ten or twelve 1 6-inch “babies” down to the old 9.2, throwing shells weighing 2,000 lbs. for the 1 6-inch. to 360 lbs. for 9.2.. They would also be equipped with several other batteries of six inch, four inch and one-pound and machine guns. Their complement of men would consist of a captain, commander, and on the superdreadnoughts two commanders, three to five first lieutenants, five to ten second lieutenants, ensigns, paymaster and assistants, surgeon and assistants. Generally about ten warrant officers, men who have rose from the ranks and reach commissioned ranks.

Then suppose it is on a ship carrying a thousand men, they would be divided about as follows: Seamen, of the different grades, 450, Stokers, oilers, artificers, 4 00; Royal Marine Lighty Infantry 100, and the Blue Marine Artillery 50. The cruisers carry from 20 0 to 1,00 0 men; the gunboats from 50 to 200 men; the torpedo boats and torpedo destroyers generally about 100 men. The sub-marines carry from four to sometimes as high as 50 men, owing to the size and range. Life aboard is pretty much the same on all ships, varying of course as to what station they are on, and the commanding officer. Picking out one that was on the channel fleet, that is, it is assigned to the English channel on the east and south coast of England, while sometimes it is divided and a few are off the coast of Scotland.

In summer time the boatswain’s whistle would pipe reveille at 5 o'clock. Ten minutes is all that is allowed to get dressed, lash and fallin ready to stow their hammock. At 5:15 breakfast is piped, which consists of cocoa and bread and butter. At 5:45 the working gangs are piped, when thqy swab down decks, clean the ship all over. The stokers up ashes and a general clean-up of the engine rooms. This will continue ur til 7:45 when 15 minutes is allowed to clean up for colors or quarters, which is always at 8 o’clock. Then all hands are piped to the quarterdeck, the ensign raised and broke, wtijle all on board stand at attention the band plays the national air. The chaplain or captain reads prayers. At 8:15 rest is piped, when a second breakfast is had, usually consisting of tea or coffee, eggs, meat or whatever a mess wants to buy. During this time the gun crews clean-up and polish the heavy guns, and at 9 o’clock quarters is piped, when every man takes his station that is assigned as if ready for action. The captain of the ship, accompanied by the commander, makes a complete round of the vessel, and woe betide a gun crew or any other station that is not up to the mark. As soon as inspection is over some drill sign is hoisted, every day different from yesterday. Today may be clear ship tor battle, when everything is taken down from above deck and stowed below that might become splintered from a shot; hammocks are stored amidships to protect the machinery. Ammunition is brought from the inner magazines to the hoists, guns loaded and then standby.

Or perhaps, if near a shore, landing parties are piped, when each of the ship’s boats with its complement is rushed away, landing and forming in skirmish line go through field exercises. I hese exercises last generally until nopn when dinner is piped. From “2 to 1 is generally taken for the noon hour and as soon as the meal is over the men gather on the upper deck to smoke.' ' There is bne rule aboard all ships that is strictly enforced and tha- is no spitting is allowed on the decks. During the smoking hours spittoons are placed at intervals for the men’s use. Sometimes a man gets carerss and does not hit the mark, he i§ then ordered to take a spittoon in his hands and if anyone on deck sings out ’’spit" he has to carry the spittoon to him so he can expectorate. You can imagine the “fun” he has then, from one side to the other he is kept constantly on the go. At one o’clock different squads are piped off. if in harbor leave is also piped at that hour, when a watch can go ashore, taking terns about. This leave expiring as a rule at 7 o’clock next morning in a home port and general at 12 midnight if

in foreign waters. All afternoon the different squads go about their work and at 4:45 recalFTs sounded. Then at 5 o’clock quarters is again piped when another inspection takes place. Super following immediately afterwards. The men from then on until sunset loaf, smoke, wash their clothes, do tailoring or whatever they fancy. At sunset the marine guard turns out, the colors are lowered and the sunset gun is fired, while everyone aboard stands at attention. At nine o’clock hammocks are piped and at 9:30 lights out, everyone must be in his hammock unless on duty. Ihe mess deck is always laid out on the same plan, stokers and engineroom men forward, then comes the sailors, then the marines and last at the stern the officers quarters. Each mess will consist of from 10 to 30 men. The table is so arranged that it can be swung up out of the way, and along each side a long plank is arranged as a seat. This also can be swung up out of the way. Above the mess are hooks fastened so that the men can swing tl.eir hammocks Pt night. - -

1 Lie marines on board ship are tire police, being assigned different stations to guard. They vary the period somewhat different than land soldiers. It maybe on being assigned a ship and placed on guard that he will have the same for the whole cruise lasting from two to four years. Their watches are divided as follows: On today at 8 o’clock, the first or the forenoon watch and stays on until 12, when the afternoon watch begins and he is relieved. He then will rest, but always ready to turn out to pay honor to a passing ship or some i m port ant person coming on board. This rest will continue watch the second dog, or from 4 to 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and go on watch the second dog or at 6 o’clo k. He will remain on duty until 8. o clock when the one on the afternoon watch takes the first watch, which lasts until midnight or the beginning of the middle watch. The one that had the first dog does the middle watch and the one that had the last dog watch goes on ell 4 o’clock in the morning, called 1 the morning watch, and is on until 8 o’clock when be is off duty then for "4 hours.

there is another very important crew aboard ship called the “lifeboat.” When on duty they are always cn deck and near the lifeboat which is always carried swung out and ieady to ‘fall away,” so no matter at what hour of the day or night someone should happen to fall overboard, they are ready. If the lifeboat is piped away, they spring for their places and no matter who or what rank they hold must make way or be •owled over to one side out of the way. it seldom takes longer than about 4 seconds for ti:e boat to lit the water after the call is piped. I'ime is kept somewhat different thanwon land, it going by the name of ' bells.” Starting out at the beginning of the watch at the end of the first halfhour one bell is struck, tlie hour two bells, and so on until the four hours are up or eight bells when they go back to ne bell again. The 10, 12, 14 and 16 inch guns rife as rule manned by the Blue Marine Artillery, the “Reds” or light marine and sailors manning the six and four inch and three arid one pound guns.

The sailors also man the torpedo tubes, the fighting top?, and the machine guns.

In battle the whole fire of a ship is directed from the conning tower, where the captain, commander ai d lieutenants as range finders have their station during a battle. Each gun crew getting the range, deflection to allow for the speed of tne other vessel and velocity of the wind from the conning tower. ( Here also comes the order to fire the broadsides, when each gun is made ready to fire and reports to the tower, the officer there firing the whole number of guns by simply touching one key. Life on board is full of hard Wu-k with ample time when in port to see the sights and to spend one’s money. J. A. M.

NOTABLES IN THE LIMELIGHT

F. E. Doremus, Leader In Democratic Campaign.

The Ion? session of congress has been a source of much anxiety to members who hail from debatable districts. "Fixing fences” has been from time ancient in the history of American politics a necessary duty of congressmen who reside in territory which splits Its vote nearly even; therefore the longing of many to get ready for the fall elections; therefore the activity of Congressman Frank E. Doremus of Michigan, chairman of the national Democratic congressional campaign committee, who, with his colleagues, is preparing plans for the November voting. In the Sixty-third congress there are 290 Democrats. 124 Republicans and five Progressive Republicans, fifteen classed as Progressives without any definite party affiliations and one lone independent. Chairman Doremus wants no smaller majority than the Democrats have at present and is working to that end. But his opponents hope to overcome it if they can, or at least reduce it so materially as to indicate a revolt against Democratic policies. That is why Mr. Doremus is busy and why the Republican campaign leaders are also on the job. The battle for control of the Sixty-fourth congress will be hotly waged. Congressman Frank E. Doremus Is serving his second term as a rncmbpr of the national house of representatives. He is a native of Pennsylvania, forty-nine years of age and a lawyer. In the early nineties he got his first political experience as a member of the legislature and later was assistant corporation counsel of Detroit. He also served as comptroller of the city. He was elected to congress from the First Michigan district in 1910 and reelected to the Sixty-third congress.
