A FINANCIAL STRONGHOLD THE NEW STONE FftONT Indiana Greenfield, WHEN DO YOU WANT THEM ClOGHT? Your heating plants when do you NEED them just right, more than at a quick, unexpected weather change? The sudden frost in the air sends you home chilled through, and if your heating system is good all over you feel a keen joy in swinging your coal shovel again, long after the main winter is over; and your piide expands as the plant responds and your house becomes once more a home, warm everywhere. In winter time you take your heating system for granted; but at times like this vou think of it as a comrade, almost human. THAT IS, iF IT IS A GOOD ONE! We nlake them good when we install them; and, if you have a "poor one, put in incorrectly or carelessly, we make it good. May we figure YOUH work? Standard Heating and Plumbing Co.

An Interesting Encampment. On May 21 one of the most interesting encampments that was ever held in this State came to an end.

It was made up of 2Mt high school loys, chosen by competition from the different counties of the State and was held at Lake Maxinkuckn. under the auspices of the Culver Military Academy. The boys received free military instruction for a period of two weeks. The idea of the camp was to show that more can be accomplished by a short period of intensive drilling than is possible to accomplish in a longer period of scattered drills as is practiced by many of our colleges. The camp was also an attempt to try out President Wilson's policy of a "citizenry trained and accustomed to the use of arms' and was therefore designated as Camp Wood row Wilson.

Hancock county was represented by (luce boys; Charles D. Morton, step-son of C. lieggs; Paul Coble, son of dames X. Coble, and Hobei L. Mason, son of Kx-dudgo of ('rcenfield, Jnd.

S. Covern ment at the point of nervous breakdown ju an effort to supply the voracious appetites of the young recruits. The boys made phenomenal progress in the variety of drills which were given, the Culver plan being used of assigning individual instructors to each recruit. In this manner it was possible for the lo-ginners to master the manual of arms and the elements of s.piad drill by the end of the first day, a feat that usually requires a month of wearisome effort. Hr the end of the second day company and battalion drills were performed with the assurance of troops in long training.

Since that time the high school Iwns learned extended order, skirmish drills, care of cavalry horses, trench digging, camp rooking, field work, first aid and hospital drills and later engaged in a sham battle with the Culver Cadets, in which they acquitted themselves with distinct ga'llantrv in defending a line of intronchmctits against overwhelming odds, "The movement is a patriotic one and the Culver authorities hope by this example to encourage the establishment of similar ramps of instruction in other states. Several officers prominent in military circles have signified their approval of the plan. The adjutant general of the State, with his assistant, paid a visit to Culver and inspected the camp. They were greatly impressed by the progress achieved by the loys.
