R. G. Leeds, Editor. . E. H. Harris, Mgr. Entered at the Post Office at Richmond. Indiana, as Second Clasa Mail Matter. "Keeping up with the world's progress," is the optimist's main idea. The pessimist is usually a back number. Henry N. Hansen. "i " ' ' - " 'L 1 " U. S. Troops in Russia Charles E." Russell,' who was in "Russia with the Root mission, believes that American troops ought to be placed in the Russian line. He Relieves that the Russian republic has come to stay and that the Muscovite army, strengthened by American troops and inspired by their presence, will not prove traitors and expose our soldiers to destruction from German guns. He has an abiding faith in the Russian people and their ability to demonstrate to the world that in essence they are a brave people who can make 'heroic sacrifices to attain victory. His attitude is best expressed in his own statement : "Do you think it would be safe to put an American army into a battle line with Russian troops that may at any moment retreat and abandon our men to their destruction?" he was asked. "Safe ? Why, of. course, it would absolutely be

safe. It would be one of those things that insure themselves. The presence of American troops on

that battle line would make it impossible for any

Russian troops to retreat even if they wished to, which they positively would not. But when you come to that, there is far more danger from the United States today, as the case stands, than there is from Russia. I say to you deliberately that the cause of the Allies stands in greater peril of defeat from the United States than it does from the people of Russia."

This course of thirty daily lessons l offered to the men selected for service in the National Army as a practical help in getting started in the right way. It is informal in tone and does not attempt to give binding' rules and direcions. These are contained in the various manuals and regulations of the United States Army, to. which this Course is merely introductory.

LESSON NO. 4 GETTING READY FOR CAMP

(Preceding Lessons: 1. Your Post of Honor. 2. Making Good as a Soldier. 3. Nine Soldierly Qualities.) Your real training for your duties as i soldier will begin after you and your comrades are assembled at the training camps. However, there are a few simple things you can do during the next few weeks which will be of decided value in getUng you started along the right lines. The simplest thing, and perhaps the most useful of all, is to begin at once to practice correct habits of standing and walking. Even in civilian life a man's reputation in his community yes, and for that matter bis own selfrespect is determined to a surprising extent by his bearing. The man who slouches feels like a slouch. The man who holds his head up faces the world with confidence and courage. If this is true in civilian life, it is ten times more true in military life. For a soldier must always be strongly marked by his snap his precision, and his vigor. He can not have these traits unless he carries himself like a soldier. The Bearing of a Soldier. .Few people without military training have a correct idea of what . is meant by the position and the bearing ,' of a soldier. They are apt to imagine that it mesns a strut or an extremely strained attitude. Or, more frequently, they think that the term can properly be applied to any erect position. The truth of the case, however, Is that there is a definite procedure to follow in order to place yourself in what is known in the army as "the position of a soldier," It is the position which the dismounted soldier always assumes at the command "Attention," except as it may be slightly modified to enable him to carry properly any arms he may have in his hands. It will be well for you to memorize paragraph 51 of the Infantry Drill Regulations, which gives the complete and accurate description of the position of the soldier. This paragraph is slightly paraphrased and simplified in the description following: Keep in mind that there, are ten elements which must be properly adjusted to each other, anad check yourself up to see that each one of them is properly placed. 1. Heela on the same line and as near each other as possible; most men fhould be able to stand with heels touching each other. 2. Feet turned out equally and forming an angle of about 45 degrees. 3. Knees straight without stiffness. - . 4. Hips level and drawn back slightly; body erect and resting equally on hips. 6. Chest lifted and arched. 6. Shoulderssquare and falling equally. . 7. Arms hanging naturally. 8. Hands hanging naturally, thumb along the seam of the trousers. 9. Head erect and squarely to the front; chin drawn in so that axis of head and neck is vertical (means that a straight line drawn through the center of head and neck should be vertical) eyes straight to the front.

the Liberty Bond Work to do their bit the country. In nr IrtsA all f "That's what for Citizen-Soldiers. all rights to reprint reserved.) 10. Entire body weight of body resting equally upon the heels and balls of the feet. Note especially that you are not required to stand in a strained attitude. You are to be alert but not tense. One of the very best things you can do today is to spend fifteen minutes practicing this position, getting it right. Keep this up every day until you report at camp. In the army, as in every day life, first impressions are important. The first impression you make on your officers and fellows will depend, more than you ' probably realeize, on the manner in which, you stand and walk. Making Yourself "Fit." . If you can devote part of your time between now and the opening of camp to physical exercise you are fortunate and should by all means take advantage of every opportunity. Climbing, jumping, gymnastic exercises, all kinds of competitive games, swimming, rowing, boxing, wrestling, and running, are all recommended as excellent methods of developing the skill, strength, endurance, grace, courage, and self-reliance that every soldier needs. There are some simple rules of eating and living which all of us should follow regularly. They will be especially helpfu to you if you put them into practice in preparing for camp life. Perhaps the most important of these rules is to use no alcohol of any kind. If you have been in the habit of smoking immoderately, cut down; get your wind, your nerves and your digestion Into the best possible condition. Eat and drink moderately. Chew your food well. It is advisable, however, to drink a great deal of cool (not cold) water between meals. Don't eat between meals. Keep away from soda fountains and soft drink stands. Learn to enjoy simple, nourishing food. Accustom yourself to regular hours for sleeping, eating and the morning functions. Don't "take a last fling." It may land you in the hospital. At the best, ,it wiu probably bring you into camp in an unfit condition to take up your new duties with profit and enjoyment There are strenuous days ahead of you and It will be good 6ense on your part to make reasonable preparation for them. Look Forward With-Confidence. You will find nothing required of you in the army that is beyond the powers of the every day American. You will see clearly ahead of you, after you have read this course, the path which you are to follow. Look forward with confidence. Enter the service with the firm determination or doing your best at all times, of playing square with your superiors, your associates, and yourself, and of taking care always of your assigned duties whatever may happen. You will find that everyone else will treat you with courtesy and fairness for that is the inflexible rule of the army. Out of that rule grows the comradeship and the attractiveness, even in the face of all dangers and hardships, that are characteristic of American army life.

this community, the women are pushing through the Hoover plan without trouble. In other places the Boy Scouts are helping them. . The Boy Scouts of America Magazine encourages them and all boys to help in the conservation of food.

Says the magazine: A true boy scout will help his nether, especially when she has an unusually hard and unpleasant task to perform. The women of the United Statesthe scouts' mothers and all the other mothers now have the biggest Job In the whole war thrust upon them and they will need the help of every scout and every other son. The reason that President Wilson, through Mr. Herbert Hoover, the Food Administrator, has asked the women of the country to assume the responsibility for saving food is that they control ninety per cent of the consumption of food. They do the buying and they prepare the food for the table. - Even while food was plenty, waste was unfortunate. Now, when it is a serious question whether there will be enough food to feed our armies and those of our allies

home, waste should be criminal. There

fore, the women should have the cordial support and help of all the other members of the household: The task of calling at every home in every community to ask the housewife to become a member of the Food Administration is a gigantic one. It is even greater than

campaign in which the Boy Scouts ofj

America played so important a part. It is doubtful if the women of the country, through their present organizations will be able to accomplish this as promptly as it should be done. The help of the Boy Scouts of America is needed. - - - , - -

The Right Spirit J. Ogden Armour, head . of the big Chicago packing plant, after attending a war supply conference early in the week, returned home yesterday. Asked what he thought about' the draft and the general war situation, Armour expressed a sentiment which every American ought to take to heart. 'Til tell you what I think of it," said Mr.

Armour. "The government of the United States can have Armour & Co. "The government of the United States can have J. Ogden Armour. "The government of the United States can have any one man or any group of men of Armour & Co. "There will be no. requests for exemptions. Where a man is irreplaceable the government will be so notified and it can take its choice of where it wishes him to serve. "Whether it is patriotism or selfishness that moves each of us counts little in the outcome. Many of us may not realize it, but as a nation and :as free men we have staked all and we shall win

I think about the 'situation.' " CAMBRIDGE BOARD CERTIFIES 44 MEN i ,, ,. . I CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind., Aug. 16.

PALLADIUM WANT AOS PAY Careless Use of Soap Spoils the Hair Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes , the hair brittle, and ruins it. - The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulslfled cocoanut oil iwnicn is pure and greaseiess) and Is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will clean the scalp and hair thoroughly. Simply moisten tne nair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich. Creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. v . You can get mulslfled cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, It's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. adv. ,

komo, South Bend and Fort Wayne advertise their names. Richmond lacks this distinctive punch for progress and advancement. Unable to Find City's Name. If the section from North Sixth tJ Sixteenth by way of North E street is taken as an endorsement of this, charge, notwithstanding the immense industrial resources here bearing the name and fame of Richmond to all parts of the world, the charge holds good. Notwithstanding centralization of the Richmond division of the Pennsylvania; the fact that Richmond is the home of a great motor Industry; that Richmond is the center for an immense piano manufactory; that Its agricultural factories cover many acres of ground, and that industries reflecting the character of Richmond impress the visitor who enters the city by way of this approach, there Is nothing on these buildings to Indicate that these are Richmond industries. Along this section signs to impress the visitor that Richmond has something to 6ell are wanting. Other Cities on the Job. Kokomo, South Bend and Fort Wayne beat Richmond in character advertising. Along the route of North D and Sixth streets the freight extensions end yards of the C. & O. and Pennsy show a centralization for handling business. Rolling mills, produce companies and and factories are located here but somehow you do not find the name of Richmond prominently displayed. Kokomo's' welcome is read when r.earing the city. Its resources can be read on numerous boards both out

side and within the city. South Bend is also a constructive city of this kind. Fort Wayne is Jumping by leaps and bounds. . What Richmond wants is a constructive policy of this kind, approaches that count, advertising signs that count, apporacbes brightened and beautified by constructive co-operation, approaches that will be beacons of good will and welcome, approaches that will tell the visitor the resources of Richmond and what she-has to offer. Co-operation between the merchant and customer has long been a watchword in business circles; co-operation between the farmer and the banker has been signalized in progressive Wayne; co-operation between the railroads, the industrial men, and the residents should now be Instituted for a constructive policy for character advertising at the apporaches to the city.
