SIGNAL RESERVE CORPS
TO BE MADE UP OF
TELEPHONE EMPLOYEES

d Local telephone men are keenly in
terested, in the announcement Friday
of the applications for enlistment in
the Signal Reserve Corps to be made
up of telephone employees, in which
practically all in this vicinity express
ed a willingness to join. In the COM
pany's territory President Spaulding
received about seven times as many
volunteers as could be enlisted. Only
COG men were needed and 1850 employees
volunteered. Chief EngineeI George X.
Manson of the company is to be the
major of the battalion. The other Of
flcers, while tentatively selected, will
be definitely known until all examina-
tions have been completed.
Some of these not selected for the
initial company will be asked later to
fill vacancies as they occur, said
President Spaulding in an official an
nouncement of the results of this vol
untary enlistment plan. 1T must be
remembered however. by those who
are not selected for the Signal Reserve
Corps. now or in the future. that there
rests with them the duty of maintain
ing the commercial telephone service
under conditions that will perhaps be
far more difficult than in normal times.
which is just as essential to success
in times of war as the telephone SER
vice to be maintained by the Signal
Corps with armies in the field"
The telephone company has agreed
to pay to men enlisted in the Signal
Corps the difference between their
army rate of pay and the rate paid
by the company at the time of enlist
ing, thus practically guaranteeing each
man his full wages. No time has yet
been set for mastering in this new
battalion, but the call is expected be-
fore long in order that active training
may begin as early as possible.

peopve Kept In Ignorance.

The western districts of the vflayet
of Monastir and a large part OF that
of Kossovo are inhabited by a race
wilder and more primitive than any
to be found in Europe-the Albanians.
Very little is known Of this strange
and interesting people, save that they
speak an do-European tongue. but 90
not belong to any Of the recognized
groups of the Aryan family. It Id
probable that they are descended from
the ancient nlyrians, who were driven
westward BY the advancing waves Of
slavs. Their language, like the people
themselves, is wild and lawless, and
has practically no literature. Even
the popular songs are very few. The
Turkish government has deliberately
kept them in a state of barbarism and
ignorance, and makes use OF them to
overawe the ~neighborfng peoples.

Apples may come and apples may
70, but this one goes on forever. This
may be said of an apple belonging to
George N. Reade. OF st. Paul, Minn-
which he picked from q tree In New
York In 1888.
Mr.. Rende lived on q farm In Cort-
land county, N. z, when a boy. One
day, just for amusement, he climbed
one Of his fathers apple trees, picked
the largest apple he could md and
stuck cloves in 1t, says an exchange.
II was merely an experiment, ne
said. He had heard Of preserving ap-
pies by putting cloves In them. but
thought 1t only a joke.
He gave the apple to his mother, n
when she died and some goods were
shipped to him In Minnesota. the apple
was found among them, sound and still
fragrant from the spice.
"This apple" Mr.. Reade said, has
been from New York to Dakota. and
from Tennessee to Minnesota. 1t
always been exposed to the air. 1t VIII
is as shiny and wholesome looking as
when I pulled 1t from the tree. Fifty
years old, 1t still Is at for SALE"
