J u n c 1 9 2 R o u ii d u p A n n n a I Third Prize in Army Essay Contest By RICHARD B. HART A tall raw-boned westerner strolled into the recruiting office. He slowly scrutinized every article in the room and then turned to the trim, neat figure of the recruiting officer. Want to enlist, do you ? inquired the man in khaki. Wa-al, I don ' t know. Maybe yes and maybe no. What do I do? Fill out an application blank and pass a physical examination, then you are ready to enter the biggest profession Uncle Sam has to offer. Wa-al, what ' ll I get? was the second question. Thirty dollars a month to begin with, and — Nothin ' doin ' , I can get fifty a month out to Buck O ' Neil ' s ranch with grub and bunk throwed in. So long. Good Looker. Here, wai t a minute. The pay is the smallest of its advantages — and besides before you get out you ought to be making three times that amount. You ' ll get good, clean wholesome food three times a day, a nice, clean healthful place to sleep in and the companionship of the cleanest true-blue boys in the world. You will be regularly inspected by the medical department, they see that every man is in perfect health at all times. Besides if you become sick or are injured you will receive the finest medical attention that can be had. Uncle Sam also has a branch of the army devoted to denti.stry whose busi- ness it is to see that your teeth are kept in perfect condition. Your clothing and all the camp equipment necessary to make camp life comfortable will be furnished by the government. You will have the priv- ilege of enjoying the recreation rooms of the camp, the library and gym- nasium. Uncle Sam also sees that the bodies of his boys are well developed. There are the gymnastic e.xercises under the most competent directors our country has produced. They will see that you participate in your favorite game of footbaM, soccer, baseball or basketball. And in addition to all of this Uncle Sam sees that your mind is well developed. He has established schools in camps where reading, writing, mathematics, languages, English composition, etc., are taught. In addi- tion to this the president is authorized to appoint 180 young men as cadets from the army to the United States military academy at West Point. Whoa, boss, with ail of them good things iookin ' a feller in the face, I say here ' s your man ter the in-1 ' an-try.

R II II ( ( i A II II II a I June 1920 Prize Winners in Essay Contest In the army essay contest held in Great Falls in February, the first prize was awarded to Miss Doi ' othy Tootell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Tootell, 618 Fourth avenue south. Miss Tootell was awarded an Ameri- can flag and an enlarged picture, the work of F. E. Rogers, and the Com- mercial club cup. The latter, suitably engraved with the name of the win- ner, is to be the property of the Central high school. We regret that we are unable to publish Miss Tootell ' s essay, but it was necessary to send it to Spokane and it was not returned to us. DOROTHY TOOTELL
