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- chiet of the Continental army in the Revolutionary war, and the first president of the Unit- 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 x * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * x * * e * * * country.” * * Fod deok Kk ok k ok ko ok ok ok k ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok kR KRR KRR KRR KK KKK 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 citizens—18 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 boys—even city boys— even New York boys—are often bet- ter developed physicaly than the an- cient Greeks. Amnd every record of the ancient Greeks but one—the broad jump with weights, which isn’t practised to any extent—has 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-deor stadium of the College of the City of' New York. It was no long and discouraging task to find those boys. On 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. Civilization, which .has freed us from the superstitions of exposure and torture in developing ‘strength and courage, has, of course, brought with it possibilities of ease and softness 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 comsist 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 self-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- tricts right in our own midst, but they are quietly pursuing their daily reutine, hoping and praying that the government may steer the ship of state through the troublous waters without loss of henor or dignity. Today they are simply loyal cit- izens of the republic. Témorrow they may be heroes who have fought and died for their country. Who knows?

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. HOW OUR SOLDIERS SHAVE EACH OTHER ON PERSHING'S LINE IMPROVISED WELL BUIET BY AMERICAN TROOPS BELOW BORDER Improvised well near U, S. field headquarters in Mexico, * q The American soldier is versatile. There is no obstacle too big for, him to overcome. Because of his ability to get himself out of almost any, predicament he is having a fairly good time in Mexico. He refuses to drink water from holes and streams, and has dug wells in the desert which uupp]y a superior quality of water. EPISCOPAL CHURCH TO HAVE SERVICES JULY 16 Services will be held at St. Bartho- lomew’s Episcopal church Sunday, July 16, when' Rev. H. G. Stacey of Brainerd will be in the ecity. Two services will be held, a com- munion service at eleven o’clock and a sermon service at 7:30 o’clock in the evening. No services have been held at the church during the past several months, The uselessness of major troubles is in that they teach the folly of worry- ing much over minor ones. N. E, GIVEN STOPS RUNAWAY TEAM OF HORSES N. E. Given probably averted a serious accident yesterday afternoon at 5:30 o’clock when+he stopped the runaway team of horses belonging to Tom Smart. The team began to run on Minnesota avenue. 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 hour—or thereabouts— the officers pull him off the road and if he runs less than 20 miles an hour, other autos knock him off.
