Acknowledged by the church at An

man world, Barnabas and Saul began
their campaign at Salamis, the seaport
on the eastern side of the island of
Cyprus, where they first landed. At
F'aphos the Roman governor. Sergius

ing. He is spoken of as a man of
understandings and was Interested in
the various PHILOSOPHERS Of the day. In
the two Christians he saw only the
p%urveyOrs Of a new philosophy, walk

qualities winch characterize Il high
standard of citizenship in every field
of endeayor.
Major General John +. Organ. COM
manding the national guard. New York.
has defined these qualities as follows:
Love of country and the moral obi
CATION of citizenship.
Respect for sul'eriors and elders:
courtesy; restraint.
Mental and physical nlertneSs; pune
tuality; development of observation.
Courage. moral and physical.
Standards Of honor, truth telling.
square dealing.
Self control. in deed, language and
manners.
Sense of responsibility: spirit of self
sacrifice; Obligations OF duty.
Community spirit: team play; co-or
tlination Of effort: cooperation under
leadership.
Leadership; initiative; resourceful-
ness.
Personal hygiene; sanitation; first
aid.
With this outline OF the conception
OF military training. as distinguished
from military drill. it must he obvious
thai the system which will serve to
create such qualities has application to
the development OF citizenship during
the school age period. The military
system is al efficient system for the
development Of these qualities.
Such training should begin in the
elementary schools. At the age of
fourteen it should be supplemented
by a modified course in the school of
the soldier, consisting OF physical
drill. the position OF %'attcntion" or the
position required OF Il soldier in ranks.
which position each scholar should be
required to assume when q teacher
enters or leaves Il room or when in
the school building a pupil addresses
any one or is addressed; short drills
by squads of eight scholars in march
ing and turning exercises. and salut-
Ing. This work should progress by
organizing the squads into platOons
and companies.
On reaching the age of sixteen boys
should be instructed in the handling
Of the rifle. Il knowledge Of its mech
anism, it's care. At seventeen they
should begin training as marksmen.
Each college should be equipped with
n department. Of military science. and
diplomas should not be issued TO any
student who obtains less than - per
cent in military studies. Under such
conditions colleges and universities
of the country would soon produce 4
sufficient number of men to supply ed
ucated officers for any number Of or
CARNATIONS the country might require.
1t will be noted that the g at which
all boys should begin their military
drill has been placed at fourteen years.
This age has been decided upon for
the reason that many boys are com

The Rogers Co.. 2136 Pacific
av., Tacoma manufacturer and
importer of tea, coffees, spices,
extracts, ETC., has grown since its
incorporation in 1908, when a
small building on 25th and G st.
housed the establishment, to a
corporation doing a business of
$250,000 year.
The present plant occupies a
Tnree and a half story building
ana employees 40 persons. The
raw materials such as coffees,
spices, peanuts, tea and extract
products are imported from all
over the world.
Coffee Yields Curios
An interesting collection of
refuse removed from coffee ber-
ries shows coins from China,
Guatemala, Mexico, Brazil, Dutch
East Iidies, Salvador and Equa-
dor.
There were beads. from the
South seas, nails from the Ar
gentine and. innumerable other
articles from tropical countries.
This gives some idea as to the
importing scope of this Tacoma
industry.
The entire top floor of the
building is devoted to a manu-

CONAN FARCE
COMING TOO

at Pays to Advertise" the sue
cessful farcical fact which Conan
and Harris announce for produc-
ton at the Tacoma theater, Feb.
1926, is described as being just
one hearty laugh after another
for two and a half hours. Cohan
and Harris declare that 1t is the
funniest farce they have ever pro-
duced, an assertion that seems to
be borne out by the tremendous
throngs which nightly gather
throughout the country to watch
the evolution Of an idle rich
young man, who, through the in
spiration of love and the soap in
dustry, is transformed into live
wire in the commercial world.
