ENCAMPMENTS
Army Authorities Anticipate Great
est Camp in History For the
Season of 1925.
With war department plans drawn
for the greatest Citizens' Military
Training camps ever attempted in
this country during peace time, the
.Military Training Camps association
today announced a nationwide edu
cational campaign to bring the bene
fits of the 1925 summer camps to the
attention of eligible young men and
their parents in every state in the
union.
Secretary Weeks accepted the offer
of the M. T. C. A. to co-operate with
the war department in promoting the
popularity of the movement.
Char'.es B. Pike, president, who
made the plan public, said the asso
ciation already has representatives in
more than ninety per cent of the
3,000 counties of the United States.
Enrollment of 50,000 youths by
-June 1 has been set as the goal.to
be reached. Under the arrangements
announced, civilian aides to the sec
retary of war, appointed from each
tate and from each of the nine army
corps areas, will direct the progress
of the drive within their own terri
tories, working in . conjunction with
army officials.
Following the approval of Presi
dent Coolidge of the house and sen
ate's increase of $487,471 over the
budget estimate for the camps,
ouotas have been allotted for 50,000
students on the basis of one vacancy
to every 2,000 residents in all states.
The original budget estimate permit
ted enrolling 40,000.
A young man between 17 and 31
who can pass the physical and men
tal examination of the war depart
ment may go to the camps. All ex
penses are paid by the government,
including food, uniforms and rail
road fare to camp and return.
Speciaily selected army officers
and specialists from civil life con
duct the camps. It will be the en
deavor of the best instructors in the
army to teach respect for propery au
thority; add stamina and virility to
young manhood; develop seif reli
ance; teach observation and deci
sion: remove misconception and
make for true democracy.

Too many people suffer lame, ach
ing backs, distressing kidney disor
ders and dreumatic aches and pains.
Often .this is due to faulty kidney ac
tion and there's danger of hardened
Arteries, dropsy, gravel or Bright's
disease. Don't let weak kidneys wear
you out. Use Doan's Pihs before it
is too late! Doan's are a stimulant
diuretic to the kidneys. Doan's have
helped thousands. They should help
you. Here is one of many Plattsmouth
cases:
Leland O. Bennett, 319 Marble
street, says: "Heavy lifting, together
with exposure weakened my kidneys.
My kidneys acted so freely I had to
get up several times at night and
the secretions scalded in passage. My
back became so lame and sore I could
hardly work, and a dull, gnawing
ache made me lose my sleep at night.
After using one box of Doan's Pills
from the Mauzy Drug Co., I was re
lieved and I am not subject to these
attacks any mpre."
Mr. Bennett is only one of many
Plattsmouth people who have grate
fully endorsed Doan's Pills. If your
back aches if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy ask distinctly for DOAN'S
PILLS, the same that Mr. Bennett
had the remedy backed by home
testimony. 60 cents at all dealers.

KEARNS TO CONFER
WITH TQM GIBBONS
Manager for Jack Dempsey to Suggest
a Match With Challenger in
New York or Los Angeles.
Chicago. March 13. Jack Kearns,
whose business is collecting a fortune
for the ring appearance of Jack
Dempsey. will meet Eddie Kane, man
ager of Tommy Gibbons, here tomor
row, in regard to the .prospects of a
match between the champion and the
St. Paul challenger in Los Angeles or
New York this summer.
Kearns is en route east as a re
sult of several invitations, includ
ing one from the government to
appear as a witness in connection
with the transportation of Demp-sey-Carpentier
fight films in viola
tion of federal laws. Rival New
York promoters have invited Kearns
to consider a select assortment of
bids for matches between Dempsey
and Gibbons, and Dempsey and Harry
Wills, the negro challenger. Kane
said tonight that Gibbons is anxious
to box Dempsey any place, providing
the championship would be involved
in a contest to a decision.
"Gibbons has been assured of more
money to box Wills than we expect
to get in meeting Dempsey, but we
are willing to take less in order to
get another chance at the champion
ship," Kane said. "We are ready to
box any place, New York or Californ
ia, but it must be to a decision.
"If Dempsey chooses to box Gib
bons before meeting Wills, Gibbons
is willing to give Wills a bout to
determine which shall get the first
crack at the champion."
Los Angeles, Cal., March 13. The
Los Angeles Times tomorrow will
quote Jack Dempsey, motion picture
actor and pugilist, as saying that he
positively will not defend hi3 heavy
weight title before next fall.
"There is not a chance in the
world of my fighting Rfcnault or
any 'one else here in June," were
Dempsey's words, according to the
Times. "I won't be ready to defend
my title then and I don't intend to
try. I am fat about the stomach and
will have to take off a lot of wheight
before I can begin to build up. I
want to condition myself by tackling
a couple of second raters before I step
into a championship bout.
Tom Kennedy, prize fight match
maker, today telegraphed Jack
Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey,
asking terms for a Dempsey- Jack
Renault bout, ten rounds, for the
heavyweight title, to be staged in
Los Angeles during the Shrine con
clave here next June. Hearns is en
route east. Kennedy, who is a match
maker for the American Legion stad
ium at Hollywood, said however, that
the legion did not figure in the ne
gotiations.

LEGION AUXILIARY
MEETING FRIDAY
Washington, March 13. Senator
Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin
is speeding northward tonight, ex
pecting to reach Washington before
a vote is taken on the Warren nomi
nation, at the "earnest solicitation"
of Senators Norris and Howell of Ne
braska, and Reed of Missouri.
The Wisconsin senator is said to
have entrained at Fort Lauderdale,
Fla., tonight after having received
several telegrams from Norris and
Howell detailing efforts by President
Coolidge and administration forces
to make gaps in the lineup against j
confirmation of the president s nom
inee for attorney general.
While claiming that a count of
noses has disclosed sufficient strength
to defeat the president's program, the
Nebraska senators are reported to
have wired La Follette that they
feared defections, and late today
stressed the urgency of having every
available vote in opposition recorded.
If the senate reaches a vote to
morrow, La Follette, like Vice Presi
dent Dawes on Monday, will arrive
too late to be of any service to his
side.
Howell and Norris declared to
night that if a poll to be made to
morrow discloses any weakening of
their lines, they will fight to hold
the vote off until Monday, when La
Follette's presence will be assured.
