GOVERNOR SMITH MAKES REPLY TO BRYAN SPEECH MAKES IT HARD FOR NOT OBSERVING LAW Realizing that "an army fights on its belly," the United States govern ment is making every preparation to properly feed the 4,000 students who will attend the third series of the citizens' military training camps, which will be held in the Seventh Corps area during August. These camps will be held at Fort Snelling, Minn., Fort Leavenworth, Kansas and Fort Des Moines, Iowa. There will be 360,000 meals pre pared at these three camps and they will be such as to properly nourish students who are required to work hard and play hard. The fact that these students flour ish under the government's supervis ion is proven by final physical exam ination of the men who attended last year's camp. Their weight, according to the government's examination, was increased five pounds for each student. According to the government's compilation, it will require within the Seventh Corps area 65 tons of beef, 65 tons of bread, 75 tons of potatoes or other fresh vegetables, to say nothing of the numerous other articles required to feed 4,000 hungry boys. Young men between 17 and 24 are eligible to attend these camps. Four courses will be offered, the Basic Red, Advanced Red, White and Blue. All training is for the purpose of preparing the candidates to be offi cers in the Officers' Reserve corps. The War department has supplied a representative of the Military Training ('amps association in each town, a3 well as the railroad station agent and postmaster with full de tails of the camps. MaJ. Gen. George B. Duncan, com mander of the Seventh Corps area. Army building, Omaha, will give fur ther details on application. m iowa FARMS FOR SALE 123 acres seven miles from Modale, Iowa.

With a view of prosecution and dismissal from government service! where the offender is a federal em ploye, investigation is being made by! the Bureau of Internal Revenue of reports that persons authorized to I uviiiiiuioLc i uaino ai c uuit 111 an .asto, performing such duty properly and in accordance with the law.

Albany, N. Y., June 10. Declar ing that "he will have to travel some to get any sound minded person to believe that we are attempting to in terfere with the constitution of the United States when we ask congress to amend the Volstead act," Gover nor Smith answered William Jen nings Bryan's strictures on the re peal of the Mullen-Gage state prohi bition enforcement act. The governor closed his statement with the following rather sarcastic comment on Mr. Bryan's candidacy for public office: "Mr Bryan speaks about my can didacy for public office. Unlike him self, I am not a candidate. When I have been, in the past, I have usu ally been selected by the people, but in Mr. Bryan's case, a wise and dis criminating electorate usually takes care to see that Mr. Bryan stays at home."
