PAPERTREPREGCNTTD ?CR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE MEN OF MILITARY AGE. How many able-bodied citizens of military age have we in the United States? The Bureau of the Census, while it is unable to make any estimate of the proportion who are able-bodied, estimates that the total number of male citizens and prospective citizens that is, foreign born persons who have declared their intention to be come citizens18 to 45 years of age, inclusive, is not far from 21,000,000. This estimate is based on the as sumption that there has been an in crease of approximately 10 per cent in the population of the country since the census of 1910. When that census was taken the total num ber of male citizens and prospective citizens 18 years of age and over but under 46 was 19,183,000. Of this number, 14,224,000 were native whites, 2,857,000 were foreign born whites who had become naturalized or had declared their intention of doing so, 2,052,000 were negroes, and 50,000 were Indians. The num ber of foreign-born. citizens is par tially an estimate, since the census enumerators were able to obtain in formation as to citizenship from only about seven-eights of the total number of foreign born males. Na tive whites thus represent about 74 per cent of the total, foreign born whites nearly 15 per cent, negroes nearly 11 per cent and Indians about three-tenths of one per cent. During the Civil war, when the population of the country, exclusive of the seceding states, was less than one-fourth as great as the present population of the entire United States, the total number of men serv ing in the Federal armies at one time and another was approximately 2,- 500,000 (due allowance being made for duplicate enlistments, that is, cases in which men enlisted more than once.) WE OUT-GREEK THE GREEKS. American boyseven city boys even New York boysare often bet ter developed physicaly than the an cient Greeks. And every record of the ancient Greeks but onethe broad jump with weights, which isn't practised to any extenthas been broken by New York city school boys. This was discovered recently when sixty boys equal to the best of the Greeks were needed for a Shake speare masque at the great out-door stadium of the College of the City of New York. It was no long and discouraging task to find those boys. Qn the con trary, 200 applied at the first oppor tunity. Practically all of them not only met but surpassed the best of the ancient Greek standards both in the measurements and in physical tests. The sixty who had most time for rehearsals were chosen. h'i Civilization, which has freed us trom the superstitions of exposure and torture in developing strength and courage, has, of course, brought with it possibilities of ease and softness unknown to earlier peoples.

GENERAL OFFICES K'EW YORK AND CHICAGO .SRAfirHFT IN U. ^HF PRINCIPAL C'"*"BV* STATE GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES AND THEIR HIS- TOKICAL SIGNIFICANCE (Prepared by the Minne nesota Historical Society for the United Press.) WASHINGTON COUNTY This county was one of the original nine counties into which Minnesota territory was divided immediately after its organization in 1849. It was named for George Washington, commander-in chief of the Continental army in the Revolutionary war, and the first president of the Unit- -fc ed States, 1789-97. Thirty two counties in as many states of the Union bear the name of this man whom Americans justly call "the father of his country." advantages of sanitation, better food, better knowledge of how to live seem to have more than compensated for any of the disadvantages. LOYALTY WITHOUT WIND. True loyalty does not consist of getting out in public and shouting to the winds of the glories of our coun try and how we can lick the world with our hands tied behind us. We have a few such "patriots," but they have never set the world afire and we never expect to see them fighting for thir country. When bul lets are singing and shells are shriek ing such "patriots" are usually found fishing industriously in finan cial waters far to the rear. What we need is patriotism that impels a man to love his country for what it is and for what it has done for himself and for the rest of man kind. When a man is imbued with this brand of loyalty he will give even life itself for his country when the need arises, and he will have no eelf-plaudits to hurl at his fellow men in glorification of his own acts. He will not dispense wind. We have many just such true pa- tricLi right in our own midst, but they are quietly pursuing their daily routine, hoping and praying that the government may steer the ship of state through the troublous waters without loss of lienor or dignity. Today they are simply loyal cit izeus of the republic. Tomorrow they may be heroes who have fought and died for their country. Who knows? NYMORE NEWS (By Special Correspondent) Miss Emma Ulrickson returned on Wednesday from Walker, Minn., where she has been visiting for the past few months Mr. and Mrs. A. Engen and two children, Agnes and Harold, who have been residing at Nymore for the past two years, left Thursday morning for Duluth where they expect to make their future home. Mrs. Frank Smith left Wednesday evening for Minneapolis where she will spend a few days on business matters. The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Peterson died Wednesday eve ning. The funeral was held at the parents' home Thursday afternoon. Capt. Sandgren officiated. Mrs. Titus left Thursday afternoon for Boston, Mass., where she will stay for some time visiting with'her daughter. GOMPERS WANTS SCHOOLS TO TEACH RESPECT FOR WORKING MEN (By United Press) New York, July 7.The Gary plan of school administration, the obliga- tion of educational systems to union labor and peace had their innings in the discussions of the National Educational association meeting here today. William A. Wirt, superintendent of the city schools of Gary, Ind., dis cussed the Gary plan as organized in his home city and as administered in twelve of the leading schools in the Bronx, New York City. The Gary plan, he declared, has extended in some form or other to most of the leading schools systems in the coun try. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, advo cated training in the schools for effi cient work and the teaching in the schools of the doctrine of respect for the rights of the man who carries a dinner pail.

Mr. Given leaped upon the wagon while it was going at a fast speed, secured the reins and stopped the team. If a man drives an auto more than 20 miles an houror thereabouts the officers pull him off the road and if he runs less than 20 miles an hour, other autos knock him off.
