As vice prin etpal of the New York Training Schoo! for Officers and later as Principal of the Chicago Training School he has for years been the head of the Army’s educational work, during which time hundreds of Salvation Army officers received at his hands thetr equipment and inspiration for their life's work.

See Stalmann, Wyaming Oldsmobile Co, Ever since the Yankees from Connecticut and other New England states braved the dangers of navi- gation across the Allegheny moun- tains with bull teams and home- made carts to found the United States of Ohio it has been the cus- tom and the practice for one Ohioan to boost every other Ohioan as a Sreat man. In public life the Ohio clan has made its display advertis- ing so strong that it kept the office of president pretty well filled with noble sons of Buckeye birth; and when it was thought that things were running a little too atrong at home, it was no great trouble to step over into some neighboring state and fill the great office with a native son who in a thoughtless moment had migrated. It is not alone in potential prest- ential timber that Ohio takes the lead but she does this thing in many other ways, Just find out which one of the eighty-eight counties tho fellow was born in, scratch him under the hide and nine chances out of every ten you find a pretty good fellow and above all else you find a pretty good horn blower for Ohio and her greatness. Why it should be or how !t hap- Pens we don't know; but the Ohioan seems to have it fixed in his mind that he is the peer if not the su- perior of every other member of the human race. Some think it is be cause fond Buckeye mothers, as soon as sons discard the nursing bottle, place them in training for the presidency and they grow up with an exaggerated notion of their own importance. Others suggest that {t is an inheritance from Con- necticut ancestors who were ac- counted very smart and successful in trade and barter with the Indians in commodities such as nutmegs. Be that as it may, Ohio was always all right unless it went Democratic. and then it was something else. And native sons had something to blow about when telling the world.” Ohioans were always consistent blowers for Ohio wherever else on earth they wandered; but when they came to Wyoming they ceased to blow about Ohio and began to blow about Wyoming. Marion Porter Wheeler is no ex- ception to the Ohioans we have been talking about. He is a good and regular one. And just listen how his life’s story runs. It is true to Ohio form. As the professional biographer would say “he first saw the light of day on a farm in Ashtabula county” in the second year of the ctyil war. All around ‘about ‘re- sided relatives of both sides of the family. He worked on the farm and in the timber. He knew all the Uttle red school houses in the dis- trict. He ‘went away to school” at Grand River Institute which tn that day would be the equal of any state college of this day minus the football and other similar higher branches of learning. At seventeen you finding him teaching school. At nineteen a book agent as far away from home as Vermont and other “furrin parts.” You then greet him as a clerk in a country store. And then like lots of Ohioans he “went west.” Six months was all he could stand of South Dakota Someone had painted the town be- fore he got there and he didn’t like the color—Vermillion.
