BOYS ENLIST IN THE RESERVE BY GEORGE ADE Enemy alien influence, working in several Indiana counties, is attempting to prevent the successful enrollment of Indiana boys in the United States Boys' Working reserve. Marion, Hamilton and Han

cock counties have been visited within the past week by representatives

of the United States Department of partment of justice for the purpose the dissemination of this vicious '.he apprehension of the guilty. Pro-Kaiser agents are telling military organization that has for

outh of the country, who once they are enrolled will be forced into .irmed service against their will. This is one of the most specious bits of treason the Indiana authorities have uncovered up to this time. The Boys' Reserve is first of all an entirely non-militaristic institution. Its sole object is to replace the older men who have been enrolled In the United States army. ServiceJn the organization is purely and entirely voluntary. The request of the parent guarantees the immediate release of the boy worker, without vexatious red tape and delay. The secret of reduced cost of living is in increased production as much as In the regulation of distribution. ' Increased production depends directly upon a sufficient force of workers in the field. What more patriotic duty could the American boy engage in, than assisting in the big task of feeding the army and Uncle Sam's allies by keeping up the supply of laborers in agriculture? Give the lie to the Kaiser's agents, boys, by enrolling at once! This is enrollment week in the United States Boys' Working Reserve. - - 1

Boys find out what is expected nd your call to duty and enroll now.

Kites of the variety shown in the accompanying photograph are now being used i nvarious parts of the United States by the various conditions for commissions in the Coast Artillery. Their humble mission (the kites', of course) is to provide targets for the anti-aircraft guns with which the applicants for Coast Guard appointments must be familiar before they can hope to pass their examinations. Kites of this same variety also carry cameras, with which photographers of enemy country are taken through telescope lenses.

MONKEY, LOOSE, IS SOME SPOONER The lovable monkey is caught. When he swung from the low branches of a tree in Denver street and threw his arms about the neck of a young woman pedestrian there was a lot of commotion. Aside from breaking the spooning laws, the monkey, shouldn't have chosen broad daylight. A scream from the young woman brought residents to their doors. They saw her running in one direction and the monkey in another. It was difficult for them to ascer-

tain which was the more frightenedthe young woman or the lovable monkey. Where the monkey came from is a question. The zoo'keeper at City park says all his monkeys are "just where they should be," and that none of them would be ungentlemanly enough to leave home and try to hug pedestrians. Residents of the Montclair dis trict joined in the hunt. A tree to tree search was made by the posse, including an examination of the nursery at Eighth avenue and Clayton street, where the affectionate Simian was last sighted and finally caught.

UNCLE JOHN'S PIPE Willie Bell's papa did not smoke, and there were no big brothers in the house to use tobacco. So Willie was six years old before he knew much about it. At that time his Uncle John came to live with them, and he was a great smoker. He had a long, beautiful pipe, and every evening he would have a smoke from it. Willie admired it greatly. He would watch the smoke as it curled from Uncle John's lips, and he would 6ay, "Just wait till I'm a man, and I'm going to smoke too." One day his mother went away and left Willie with the house girl. After playing around awhile he went upstairs, into Uncle John's room. On the mantel lay the pretty pipe. He took it in his hands and looked it over and over. Then he thought he would play that he was smokign like Uncle John. He put the pipe in his mouth and gave one puff. Oh, what a mean taste! But then Uncle John did not care for that, and Willie thought he must not. He puffed away for some time. Pretty soon he began to have a strange feeling come over him, and he went downstairs. When his mother came she wondered why Willie did not run to meet her. But she found him on the sofa, so pale and sick that she was very much frightened. She took him In her arms, and bent over to kiss the pale lips. She started back, and said, "Why, Willie, what have you been doing with tobacco?" Willie hesitated a moment, and then he told his mother all about his smoke. She told him it was the smoking that made him so sick. For several hours Willie was quite ill. But the next morning he sa:d to his mama, "I have changed my mind about smoking. I will never, never smoke when I'm a man. I don't see how Uncle John can like anything so mean as tobacco. After that when Uncle John smoked he had to listen to a little lecture from Willie on using tobacco. In turn he would always laugh at Willie's attempt at smoking. Fanny Rizio.
