THE OLDER FIGHTERS.
INFORMATION CARAWAY
BROUGHT.
Congressman Caraway of Arkan-
sas has returned from the western
battle front bringing good news and
important information.
Reporting on American casdalties,
he says they have been high, but the
Raising the draft age to 45 years
has raised the question how far men
of ages 35 to 45 are fit for the best
efficiency in the field. One element
often overlooked is the matter of im
provement in the physical condition of
these men, as the result of training in
ontdoor camps.
A principal reason why men of this
age degenerate is that they live ab-
normal livqf. They are confined in
stores and shops, under conditions of
poor ventilation and often lack of
good sanitation. A good many of
them have poorly cooked food lacking
in nutrition.
Many of these men are already
partly broken under these conditions.
Such, of course, could not be accepted
for army service. But others have
suffered no serious injury, but merely
show functional disturbance. Such
men would show an enormous im-
provement in a year of the soldier’s
outdoor life and hearty food.
farmers of the ages named, fel-
lorns who live healthful lives out doors
with nutritious and well cooked food,
are usually excellent physical speci-
mens. They can handle the plough
with the energy and elasticity of
youth. A man is at the prime of life
at the period named. There is no
good reason why he should be broken
dbwn. Unless organic troubles have
to show themselves, he is in
RED RIVER COUNTY FAIR.
The Red River County Fair at
Clarksville, Texas, begins October 17
21. The Gazette editor acknowledges
a season ticket. The manager* are
making big preparations and the Fair
promises to be the best for years.
*We are a strong believer in all the
advice given the people by our presi-
dent His proclamation against mob
violence we do especially approve, but
when a man going over the country
persistently raising a general dissat-
isfaction among the people, something
should be done with that class of a
man. You may talk about the I. W.
W. element, but a would-be-Gospel
Saint is to be dreaded as bad as the
I. W. W. Class.
The old Hindenburg line, considered
sufficient to hold the Americans has
broken. The British have captured
more than 26,000 prisoners. So it
marches on to Berlin._
The town is first out of water then
lights. Then comes along the ice man
with his troubles and the cold drinks
advancing all the time. Well, we are
all full of trouble any way.
The American soldiers certainly
could not give the Germans any matt
brutality than they themselves have
administered to the poor Belgium*.
September 12th is the day set for
registration of all men between the
ages of 18 and 45 years.
