THE LITTLE
TIIK little "i-ecii ieiits where the soldiers sleep, and the sun
beams play and t lie women weep, urn covered with flowers
today; and between the tentK walk the weary few, who were
young nnd stalwart in 'sixty-two, when they wnt to the war
away. The little (jrrcn tents are luilt of sod, nnd they are not
long and they are not broad, but the soldiers have lots of room;
and the sod is part of the land they saved, when the flag of the
enemy darkly waved, the symbol of dole and doom. The little
preen tent is :i thing divine; the little green tent is n country's
shrine, where patriots kneel ami pray; and the brave men left, so
old, so few, were young and stalwart in 'sixty-two, when they
went to the war away! WALT MASON.
CITIZEN'S TRAINING CAMPS.
AMEIUCA'S problem is to keep fit. There are millions of well
trained ex-service men in the country today, there are thous
ands of experienced officers, but the science of war is something that
continually changes. It is imperative, therefore, that this fighting re
serve should be kept in condition, that new men, particularly officers,
should be trained.
Sooner or later, the world's financial condition will render a re
duction of armaments imperative The same condition will render n
large standing army impossible. Hut there is no reason why the train
ing of army officers should not continue, for this can be done at the
minimum expense and the maximum benefit.
This summer the war department will conduct citizens training
camps throughout the country. For Oregon, the training camp will
be at the Presidio in San Francisco. Jlen physically sound, up to .1."
years of age will be given free military training iit these camps, even
travelling expenses being paid by the government. There will he
ro educational requirements, 1 lit? only requirement being that the ap
plicant, have sufficient intelligence to enable him to understand and
obey ordinary military commands.
Here is a splendid opportunity for young men to enjoy a summer
wication without expense, which whatever t lie; future develops, will
result in benefit to himself and to his country. The fact can not he
too often emphasized that America's success in the recent world war
was only made possible by the' conditions that, allowed, months ami
months for preparation after war was declared.
That condition will probably never occur again. If there is another
hvar, it will ;be a quick trigger war,
There will be no allies already engaged. Any system of preparedness
which can be carried on, without material sacrifice in time nnd money
is not only desirable, but until the clouds of strife and discord clear
awny, necessary. The citizen's training camps comprise such a
system.

THE BURIED PAST.
I'VE MADE nil kinds of dizzy breaks, my past wiis bndly
checkered ; but I don't brood o'er old mistakes, or J'ret about
my record. Not by remorse a fellow mounts to heights serene, en
chanted; what he is now is all that counts Ihc past is dead and
planted. I tlo not haunt the mourner's bench, rrnrettiii,' and de
ploring but take u saw or monkey wrench and do some useful
choriiiR. All virtuous I no my way, a moralist, a winner; nnd
sometimes evil gossips say, "Of old he was a sinner; he held high
wassail in the dens where Barleycorn was retailing; he carried
off a willow's hens, and laughed at her complaining." And I
am asked about, such talcs, "Were, once, your nets so rotten?"
Ami I say, "Yes; but what avails the ghost of days forgotten?
You see me walk the narrow way, and not in byways mazy; and
when at. night I hit the hay my conscience is a daisy. I do my
work, I pay my debts, I have a hundred uses; I am among the
safest, bets this age of ours produces. Today's the only day on
earth; its sun will soon be selling; today I show my sterling
worth, all other days forgetting." How vain to mourn the by
gone years, with soul iby anguish smitten; as Omar says, not lill
your tears can wash out what, is written.

Tills fellow goes by the niimo of

name J. Court Hall, but being at all
times one and tho sumo porson, to
wit: Court Hall.
Iteally it Is no credit to prevail
over an Incompetent speller like
Court Hull; but since he has un am
bition to get before the public and
particularly before tho Elks' lodge,
I persumo (hut it becomes my duty
to accept tho challenge which he has
Issued ftV another spelling match,

tion for prominence.
I do this, feeling that my reputa

I am matched against such an incom

man or an acknowledged reputation
as-n speller, but do so for the pur

It seems as though this man Hall
never will get over talking about the
tact that Ml years ago, at a teachers'
examination on n basis of 100 per
cent as being perfect, he got a grade
of r.o per cent In spelling, and he
tuiiiKs that, qualifies him to consider
