This Summer
The boys of Tyler mu? vicinity will |

There are four courses of Instruc-
tion: Rasic, Red, WliiLe and Blue.

its equivalent, and must possess the
personality, r jieamnee, tact bearing
and general adaptability which will
fit them, after further training in the
Blue course, to take the necessary
mental and physical examination to
be officers in the Officers' Reserve
corps.
Attendance at the Basic, Red and
White courses does not constitute any
present or future contract of enlist-
ment in the army of the United States
or any other military obligation.
The object of these camps Is to
bring tóg'srflTTi—rmrtTíTrim-'H-trf-lJlí'li type
from all sections of the country on a
common basic c.f equality and under
the most favorable conditions of out-
door life to stimulate and promote
citizenship, patriotism, Americanism,
thorough expert physical direction,
athletic coaching and military train-
ing, to benefit the young men indi-
vidually, and brings them to a greater
realization of their'obligations to their
country and to their homes.
The government Is offering one of
the greatest free opportunities to
."•ung men between 17 and 31 years
el' age.that has ever been offered by
this or any other government. With
.Mini' expenses paid, from your door-
sti'p to a well organized, well ordered
I mining camp and all expenses paid
there, with recreation and sports,
r.iinual training, military training and
physical development of your body
and mind, under expert army officers
and physical directors, then through
transportation on return to your door-
step, It becomes an opportunity that
ao young man should miss and that
every parent should take advantage
of. The moral, social and religious
influences of these camps are kept
at the very highest standards; dis-
cipline is administered and taught in
such ¡i manner that it Is not repul-
sive; every officer is picked with the
greatest care and he must be a man
who can control young men without
harsh methods and can develop In the
company or these young men a spirit
of absolute trust and confidence,
Kach applicant nitist be examined
physically before he can be accepted
and lie Inoculated against typhoid
aint para-typhoid fever and vaccinated
against smallpox. Applicants who
have attended a previous camp or
who have b>en inoculated or vacci-
nated within tl ree years prior to the '

qtilred to undergo this Immunization.
Accepted candidates may either pay
their own way to camp and, upon ar-
rival. be reimbursed immediately by
the finance officer at the rate of five
cents per mile for each mile traveled
Paint Adds to Beauty '
and Value of Building
No man or woman with any self-
respect would wear the same suit or
coat year after year, frayed at the
bottoms, buttons missing, or otherwise
la a dilapidated condition.
How about the home with its ugly
discolored patches, roof with shingles
missing and doors and windows show-
ing the effects of the elements? asks a
writer In the Indianapolis Star.
One is just about as foolish as the
other and both are a source of needless
expense.
Has It ever occurred to you that It
Is less costly to keep the home painted
up spick and span than to let it wear
a discouraged, dilapidated look?
1'lenty of good paint, frequently ap-
plied, is one of the best Investments
any home owner ever made.
One of the lirst requisites In making
the home beautiful is to dress it up In
beautiful colors, outside as well as In-
side. Tills applies alike to the little
cottage, the modern bungalow and the
stately mansion.
Take the most unattractive house
you can find, study its architectural
liues, use care in the selection of the
colors and the transformation will be
so great that you would scarcely recog-
nize it as being the sume house.
Campaign to Clean Up
Approaches to Cities
The brokers' division of the Nation-
al Association of Real Estate Boards
has Instituted a national campaign to
clean up the approaches to oar cities,
according to a circular recently issued
by this group. Real estate boards
throughout the country are requested
to appoint committees to work in co-
operation with other organizations in
cleaning up and properly maintaining
attractive approaches, both by way of
railroads and automobile roads.
The circular points out that railroad
sites and industrial locations can be
made, very attractive by developing
lawns and shrubbery instead of per-
mitting the city's hack yard to become
a dumping ground for the city's refuse.
Industrial buildings located along the
rullroad truckage can be beautified
with comparatively little expense, and
it is the purpose of this realtor move-
ment to encourage this improvement.
Home Grounds important
All city improvement work should
begin at home. The first essentials
are neatness and cleanliness of the
grounds. Keep all irrelevant things
away and out of sight. A""front yard
Is no place for unused tools, broken-
down equipment, or castaway house-
hold goods. The lawn must be good
and, which is Imperative, must be
made and continually improved. A
good lawn can seldom lie found; It
must be established. A good lawn Is
the foundation of every successful
garden. It must be made In a rich
soil, with a thick, even stand of lawn
grass and a firm, even surface. It is
well if the land slopes gently away
from the house.

usually travelled route (this method
In preferable) or, if tiioy will not have
sufficient funds personally to cover
thin expense, l.hey call state In their
application that, they desire govern-
ment transportation, In which eso a
United States transportation requi st
will be sent. This transportation re-
quest presented at the local ticket of-
fice In your home town, will lie ex-
changed for a ticket, and when you
arrive at camp you will lie paid actual
cost of menls, but not exceeding $:•
per day, to cover the cost of your
meals, for which you must have re-
ceipts .
You are assured that your son will
receive the best care, physical, men-
tal anil moral, that can be given. Re-
ligious services and healthful exer-
cise an included in the program. You
are cordially invited to visit him, a:id
upon your arrival you will be ex-
tended such courtesies as available
facilities permit. Lend Uncle Sam
your son for one month and receive
him back a bigger, broader minded,
better citizen.
Applications are considered In the
order in which they are received. Ap-
plication blanks can be secured from

Let Local Pride Find
Expression at Home
Local pride Is based on affection for
the place in which you live and is al-
most as natural a.sentiment us family
pride, t hrf ^'Youth's ^'ompaninu.
Like fuiiilljv prid$''lt,iftfi1v be use ful and
stimulating, or It may be futile aud
deadening.
A proper local pride manifests Itself
in study of the history of the commun-
ity and lis founders, in a desire for a
thorough knowledge of the institutions,
Industries and people of tho commun-
ity, and ill acquiring familiarity not
only with the topography and the ex-
ternal aspects of the place but also
with Its spirit. Anyone whose local
pride Is strong enough to impel him to
such study will become Imbued with
an ninhitlon to contribute to the im-
provement of the community; he will
he In his turn one of the makers of Its
history.
Local pride that llnds Its expression
at home Is an admirable trait. There
Is, however, a kind of local pride that
Is frequently exhibited only by people
who are away from home, and that Is
not to In1 commended. It Is usually 11
mark of narrowness and prejudice. A
man need not sacrifice or abate bis
love of home in order to recognize the
superior claims to general Interest that
smne other place offers, Provincialism,
as local pride is likely to be called
when it expresses Itself uwuy from
home, Is usually bumptious, hyper-
critical and petty. It retards the men-
tal growth of Hie man who suffers
from It, for he is seldom one who at
home shows any local pride of a con-
structive character.
Belter Homer. Maha
for Delicr Living
The Better Homes exposition which
has made the public hall once more the
special «•enter of 11!trnctloti and Inter-
est In Cleveland 'might well l> • called
a "Better Living" show. The horn* Is
so much the licvil aiid .soul of life that
the sum of existence, for the average
man or woman, Is very nearly the
measure of or failure I11 home
making. If the home Is happy the world
usually looks l.r!;..ht and well worth
while. If the home Is not cheerful
and comfortable life Is heavily handi-
capped.
This Is so true and the truth Is so
vital to the state, the whole nation,
that whatever tends to build up and
guard, beautify and make more attrac-
tive, the homes of a great city or of
any large community, is of special Im-
portance to the public, near and far.
What cme city does in that Held may
well prove the source of similar gains
for contentment aud happiness in many
other places,—Cleveland News-Leader.
Heavy Fruit And
[ruck Shipments h-
ppcted This Year
P, T, Cole, agricultural commis-
sioner of the Cotton Belt, estimates
that nearly .'U)()0 cars of fruit and
truck will be shipped from lOast Tex-
as over that line during the coming
season. This estimate in based on
conditions April 21. Hundreds of cars
of fruit, and truck will be shipped over
other lines of railways. The total
fruit and truck movement from Hilt
section, it is safe to say, will be
not far from 5000 cars, the bulk of
which will be tomatoes, conil:i', from
Smith, Cherokee and adjolnln;; coun-
ties.
Mr. Colo ostinii'lis shipments of
different commodities as fellows'
Tómales, 12ÜS cars" peaches, 51!,S
cars; watermelons, SDO cars; canta-
loupe::, "0 cars: Irish potatoes, 7.ri
cars; sweet potatoes, 17•" curs.
A total of fully 2000 cars of toma-
toes are expected to bo shipped Irian
the ¡smith and Cherokee sections ovei
the Cotton Belt ami of tills amount
iniitli county will probably ship 750
to 1000 cars.
In ,1 recent statement of crop con-
ditions in the sections traversed by
the Cotton Hell, Mr. Cole says:
Woollier conditions have been un-
favorable and I lie season is about ten
days late. Tomato movement Is ex-
pected to begin the first week of Juno.
The condition of the peach crop is
fairly good. Willi a normal May

Kansas City's Example
The greatest Incentive to civic
beauty Is the thing that Inspires
worthy emulation, Kansas City's resi-
dential development has grown from
small beginnings deliberately planned
by Individuals to promote public inter-
est, to show by example what could
be done with the sinull lot or the pre-
tentious honieslte, to demonstrate that
beauty tuny be attained by little addi-
tional expense and Unit whatever the
additional cost, it Is the best part of
the Investment.
And thus It has come to pass that
Kansas City luis made 11 reputation, In
a comparatively few years, for the
beauty of its homes and their sur-
roundings. Its example has Influenced
many other cities. But the greatest
force of that example Is right here ut
home. Kansas City Star.
WI1I1 several hot days like we had
Saturday we will begin to realize that
slimmer is coming.
