Never before has there been such a demand upon the local market for produce. The retailers did not seem to anticipate their Christmas rush, consequently the wholesale dealers were not fully prepared for the rush of the past few days. At an early hour yesterday afternoon the whole sale market was cleared and the re- tail markets were very short Of

Christmas Properly Observed

Christmas was properly observed last night in the Tempe churches, when the several Sunday schools of the town and their Christmas entertainments. There was a large attendance at all of the churches and the young people enjoyed it immensely. Several of the churches omitted the treats this year. taking occasion to educate the children to the spirit of Christmas by observing the White Gifts" idea.
 Large crowds visited the Methodist church, where a most unusually in teresting service was held, the music being under the direction of Miss Del zelle. Here the White Gifts Christ mas was observed, but there was some treats provided for the children. At the Christian church there was a splendid entertainment in which many of the young people participated, at the close of which there was an offer ing by classes for the work of Armen-
 ian relief. Bags of candy were pro- vided for the children here, by Santa Claus, who proved very interesting. The White Gifts plan was carried
 out in detail at the Congregational church and proved to be especially in- l teresting, the children enjoying the
 privilege of giving and not missing
 the treat.
 | A very interesting program was also given to a good crowd at the Baptist
 church and the little folks enjoyed il immensely.

FORD MOTOR COMPANY GIVE ONE
MILLION TO RED CROSS

Washington, d. c., September /
The gift of $5,0OO,OOO from the Ford
Motor Company, of Detroit, Mich, to
the American Red Cross was an
nounced today by the Red Cross War
Council. The gift is in the form of
a credit one the Ford factories for
half million dollars worth of auto
mobiles, ambulances, parts, etc, as
the Red Cross may designate
With the responsibilities assumed
by the Red Cross for the support of
the American Ambulance in France,
the Ford gift is particularly valuable.
Despite the large number of ambul-
ances in service on the Western front,
many more are needed. Reports that
no more machines were being accept
ed for this theater of war are without
foundation. In addition, ambulances
may be sent as part Of Red Cross
aid to be extended to Russia and Ser
bia.
Experiments on new type of am
bulance body are now being made I'M
der the direction of the lew York
County Chapter of the American Red
Cross. The New York Transportation
Company, operating the notorious
lines on Fifth Avenue and other
streets, has contributed the services
of its chief engineer to supervise this
work.
A kitchen trailer designed by en-
gineers Of the New York Chapter is
now being furnished in large numbers
to ambulance companies in training
at the camp at Allentown, Pa. Ex-
perts of the War Department are also
trying out the trailer with a view to
its adoption by the army.
Contributions for the Ambulance
service Of the Red Cross or for kitch-
en- trailers should be made through
the local chapters or direct to the As
sistant Treasurer, American Red
Cross, Washington, D. C. 1t is prefer
red that such gifts be undesignated
and in cash as far as possible. The
Red Cross is then able to place orders
to take advantage of quantity prices,
and distribute them where needs are
most urgent

to the war. He emphasizes the fact
that as measure of present defence
and for the future welfare of the
country, as well as for the individual
benefit of the children, it is of the
greatest Importance that the schools
be maintained in the highest STAN
dards of efficiency.
Especially important, in the view of
the Commissioner, is prompt and reg
ular attendance at school and proper
employment during out-of-school
hours. These, the Commissioner be-
lieves, will be the children's surest
protection against temptations to
juvenile delinquencies.
Labor unions are especially appeal
ed to to urge the children now in
high school to complete their work.

The average American who has a
job assigned to him wants to do it
we'll He doesn't care to dawdle over
the job and make mess of it. Nor
does he care to make it halfway
success. He is determined to make it
full and complete success in the
shortest possible time.
1t is assumed that you are starting
your Army training in this American
spirit. Since you are undertaking the
job of becoming a citizen soldier you
intend to me a good one. You don't
want to waste any time in the process.
More than that if you are ambitious
and possess fair ability there is no
reason why you should always remain
a private soldier. 1t is right that you
should want to advance, just as you
want to advance in civil life. The
Army is anxious to have you advance
just as soon as you are ready.
You will not, of course, become a
corporal or sergeant or win higher
promotion until after you have thor
oughly mastered the duties of pri-
vate. Nor will all the men who would
like to win advancement easily obtain
it. There is only one wayl to get
ahead In the Army, and that is to fol-
low conscientiously to the end the re-
gular system of training laid out for
everybody.
Your training will be practically
the same as that through which your
officers have advanced in the early
stages of military training. Every
man in the Army must 60 through it.
Drill Formations
First, you will be instructed in the
infantry drill, as set forth in the In
fantry Drill Regulations. This is the
foundation Of all your training. 1t is
divided into close-order drill and ex-
tended-order drill.
"Close order" is defined in the Reg
ulations as "the formation in which
the units, in double rank, are ar
ranged in line or in column with nor
NAL intervals and distances" Ex-
tended order, on the other hand, is
"the formation in which the units are
separated by intervals greater than in
close order" These technical defini-
tons are clear enough to those who
are already familiar with military

Slance WHAT is meant F1Sure L rep
resents a small body of men in dou-
BILE rank arranged in close order
Figure 1.
The space between men standing
side by side in rank is called the Gin
terval" In the American Army the
standard interval is inches, mea-
sured from the elbow of one man to
the elbow of the man next to him.
This gives room enough for free
movement and the proper handling of
arms and equipment during drill, The
space between a man in the front
rank and a man directly behind him
in the rear rank is called distance"
The standard distance is 40 inches,
measured from the back of the man
in front to the breast of the man in
the rear. In practice intervals and
distances are, of course, not measur-
ed exactly. A well-trained soldier,
however, soon learns to gauge them
with sufficient accuracy and almost
unconsciously keeps himself properly
placed in relation to the men about
him. 1t is essential that every man
should learn to do this in order to
maintain reasonable regree of uni
formity.
Fighting Formations
Figure 2 represents body of men
in double rank arranged in column.
The same intervals and distances are
| observed as in the line formation.
An extended-order formation is rep
resented below.
Figure 3.
However, this is only one of an in
finite number Of extended-order for
nations. Intervals and distances may
be irregular. This is the formation
used for skirmishing and at other
times when it may be desirable to
have each man control his own move
ments without attempting to conform
exactly to the movements of the 9TH
er men.
During drill in close order you will
retain "the position of a soldier" In
extended-order drill you will usually,
though not necessarily, be allowed to
take the positions that are most COM
Portable.
You should get in mind at the very
beginning these distances between
close order and extended order. BY
understanding them you will see more
clearly what is reqlired of you and
how you can get most benefit out of
your training.
