These expressions of friendliness and good will toward the paper and its person nel encourages us to believe that our efforts to Iut out a good paper, are ap preciated. We hope by renewed ef forts to merit the felicitations which have already been offered and which we may gain in the future. RO11I;RTi I0 GONZAblC:S. The Christmins season cannot be happy for us all. Each day and every hour finds someone somewhere sad dened. 'T'his Christmas season has been no exception. There have been many made sad by the final departure of friends or loved ones. The news paper fraternity of the state, we might say of the nation, has not been without its sorrows. One of its bright est lights passed out to the Great He yond just before the Christmas season and his body was gently laid to rest Tuesday. Robert E. Gonzales, para graph writer on the staff of The State and known the country over, died on the Texas border while performing Ilis duty in the sevice of his country. In his death the readers of The State feel that they have sustained a personal loss, for by his gentle humor and sparkling wit, he hound them all to him as friends. In the wider Ifid of literature, there is doubtless a gap that will never he tilled, for by his early writings in verse he had already shown that his was an uncomion talent. The Advertiser jolis with the host of others who deplore his tint ime ly death and who symplathize with these near to him in their sorrow. Dance at. Armory.

The board declined an offer from the Seaboard Air Line railway to ac cept a site near McBee for the estab lishment of the Sand 11111 Experiment Station. One reason was for lack of suilicient funds to develop this pro perty, and another was that bids from all sources must be sought by adver tising.

Washington, Dec. 21.-A definite plan for universal military training will be laid before congress next month In the shape of a bill formiu lated by the general staff of the army 'accompanied by C(mplete 'estimates of cost as compared to the present volunteer system. Major General Scott, chief of staff, told the house military committee today that the work was in progress and would re quire about a month to complete. Chairman Dent said the committee would be glad to see the bill. In response to a laughing question as to who wolud introduce it in the hottse, llepresentative Karn of Call fornia said: "I would be glad to have the honor to introduce it." General Scott was subjected to shari) cross examination today on his reiterated reiteration for a universal service leasure, based in part on re suits of the Volunteer system as shown in the mobilization of the national guard for border service. Five of the twenty-two members of the com mittee took occasion to assert their belief in the theory of universal ser vice while two emphatically declared against sech a system. Representative Tilson, himself a col onel in the national guard, followed General Scott's repeated assertion that the federalization of the nation al guard would not meet the country's military needs, said: "I agree with you that voluntary military service is not an adequate kysteml and probably would break down ill time of war as it has done before. The national guard system n partileInr is economically unwise because of the dual control over the forces by the federal government and the state. Taking up the report on the mobili zation of the guard, Representative i'llson asked: "Don't you think that. in view of the enormously greater task of tie regular service as the agent. which conducted the Mobilization, the regi - Iar army fell down harder in propor tion than the national guard?" "We make many 'ritic ismis of ou r, selves," General 14(eo t said, adiiiv that a rep!ort on the arny's :1hare in tie mbilizaton aly had bmeen, a.'ked for and( woliuh e presen ted. "ThlatI is what I want toi alppar in I 'hois ecord." saidi lhepresenitative 'il 'on, ''hecause I want tom show that noc 'uet of umllears, no ma1 tte r how wi iellI tra lined(l, coulId miakhe this nationalI guard sysStem work." Th'le priobablc nature of the bill now being drafted by a commliittee of the genleral staff was not diselosed by General Scott, whmo also refcsed to estimate the cost of such a system, except to say3 that proportlonately it would be imuich less thman tre expmense of the volunteer mlethodi of rasing troops. It is known, however, that thme possibility of welding lito the newv project the various sections of the defense act dlealinmg withl idustirial or'ganization for war purpboses, time rIght to take over' andl oper'ate manui factumring plants5, irailways and~ otheri .

When General Scott said that many members of the national guard believ ed in universal service, Representa tive McKellar, of Tennessee, inter rupted: "That may be because you are keep ing them on the border at police duty. I get letters every day indicating that many of them believe they are not fairly treated. The great body of the guard want to do their duty." "I think that is so," said General Scott. "Then why not give this new sys tei a fair trial before you condemn it?" "We are giving it a fair trial and working in good faith to get the best results from it." "Do you think we will ever get the kind of an army we should have as long as high officers of the regular army refuse to bow to the mandates. of congress?" insisted Representative Kellar. "Do you think it is a good thing for generals of the army to be coming out with reports and news paper and magazine articles knocking the system?" "I was sent here by the President and the secretary of war to present my views!" replied Gen. Scott. "How close will this system you have proposed, bring us to militari ism?" asked Represehtative Little page. "Absolutely away from it," answer ed the oflicer. "I do not see that there is anything like militarism in it. It is a democratic system. REAL HAIR GROWER Foundi at. Last. Parisian Sage Shows 'Results in Three Days.
