'1n this country" testified Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood, before the House com
mittee on military affairs. I'VE have In
round numbers a million men coming
of age every year. That means possi-
bly, 100000 f1t for military service. To
begin military service Chat is, training
and liability to service in time of war;
at eighteen years of age, and terminate
it at twenty-five years of age you
would have three and a half million
men on whom you could depend. and
that would be a force up to the limit
of need in any ordinary war.
'Out Of that force you could have
organized certain military units-in-
fantry. cavalry, artillery. field and coast
engineers, reserves. etc Every man
ought to be used in that arrangement
in the line of work for which he is best
fitted.
FIJI Quotas by Lot.
"The men in these organizations
would be taken from the men within
the period of obligatory service, let us
say from eighteen to twenty-five. The
procedure would probably be to permit
such men as wanted to enter the or
ganized unit of the reserve to do SO,
and in case any district failed to pre-
sent its proper quota the men would
then be drawn by lot. All men liable
to service would have to take the
chance of being drawn to I'LL up any
units which were not filled otherwise.
This liability would last only during

ing March 81. 1916. our receipts of
casein from abroad reached the enor-
nous total of 7,1S5,794 pounds. valued
at $5s8.9I9, much of which of course
was used in other arts as well as in
paper manufacture. Casein is the prin-
clpal ingredient in cheese, and in its
pure form is a white crumbIing acid

Most of our imported kaoIin or china

Ter for re election to Congress.
Mr.. Gambler is so we'll known
and has SO many friends here that
anything we may say of him is
almost superhuous. He came t.
Iuka with his parents when small
child and his childhood and youth
tul days were spent in this town
and county. He remained here
until the year 1887, when he went
10 Corinth and engaged in the
practice of law.
He is regarded as a conscien
tious, heightened Christian gentle
man and enjoys the esteem an,
confidence of the people of this
entire community-a man in whom
all can safely put their trust. On
all moral questions he is always
ound on the right side.
As a lawyer he is recognized
AS able, efficient and honest and al
the time of his election to Congress
he enjoyed large practice in this
and adjoining states. After his
election to Congress he retired
from the practice of law and has
given his whole time and atten
ton to his duties as Representa-
tive of the people of the First Dis
trict. Since he has held this off ice
he has studied their every interest
and has proven himself worthy of
their trust and confidence. We
tave never heard an adverse crit
icism of his official record, some
thing that can rarely be said Of
snyone in public life. He is on
the great committee on Agricnl-
ture and is thus in position to
help write and pass all'legislation
for the benefit of the agricultural
interests in the United States and
is enabled to be especially useful
to the farmers of his own district

Bates with collecting and taking $225
and 40 gerry.

department to remove the snow from
the sidewalks around the parks but
il was impossible for them to remove
il all within ten hours after the snow
had stopped falling because there are

that time the question was raised as

ment being a city department.

AEROPLANE VISIT NO
LONGER MYTH With

Wilmingtonians became star gazers
between 8 and O'Clock last night
when il became known that two
mysterious lights" were visible in
the heavens between that time and
midnight, telephones in newspaper
Offices and the police station were
kept busy, thousands Of inquiries be-
ing made about the lights. The first
report was that the light was really
an aeroplane, coming from the Penn
sylvania State line. In a short time
another citizen reported that the ma
chine was lowering over Rockford
Park.
Those who braved the elements and
went gazing were rewarded by see
ing one large white star with a small
one OF yellowish tint in the heavens.
Several citizens reported that they
heard the whirring OF the engine Of
the aerOplane This noise appeared to
be more noticeable about Richardson
Park. Calvin Merritt. William Win
thrup and W. Howard Taylor, resi-
dents OF that place, declared they saw
the machine and heard the engine.
Some idea OF what was taking place
in the sky last night may be obtained
! from an article by Garrett p. Serviss
1 in a recent issue of the New York
Evening Journal. He tells us that as
you look at them. Venus appears to be
much larger and brighter than Jupiter
This deception is produced by dis
tance. Jupiter is hundreds of mil
lions of miles more distant. If thel
were equally far Jupiter would out
shine Venus about l2J times. That Il
the proportion between the areas o
their respc stive surfaces.
Many persons doubted. of course. tha'
an aeroplane really circled over the
city. These persons say it would have
been impossible for an amateur e
have controlled his craft in such
weather conditions as prevailed lasl
