 Signal Corps Offers Education Perhaps no other branch of the serv- ice affords such splendid opportuni- ties for character development and vo- cational training, especially along cleo trical lines. The exceptional feature about an education obtained in the sig nal corps is that it not only furnishes the necessary theoretical knowledge, but also supplies the practical eXperi- ence without which theory is to a great extent useless.
 How to Enlist
 Thost interested in the signal corps should communicate at once with F. F. Ceilings, Box 1911, Tucson, AriZ, giv- ing record of their experience, and stating their qualifications. Two let ters from former employers stating ap- plicants knowledge and ability, and two letters from prominent citizens certifying to his good moral character and sobriety, also required.

will be permitted to continue in their present occupations in civil life from the date of their enlistment until they are called into active service at train ing camp or other place, but those en- listing in the regular army will be- gin active service on the date of their enlistment. No date has been set as yet for the reserve corps to be called to the colors.
 Enlistments for Duration of War
 All enlistments now made in either the regular army or in the reserve corps are for only the duration of the war, and discharges will be given when that emergency ceases.
 What Signal Corps Is and Does
 Few people know the character of the signal corps, fewer still the serv- ice it performs, the scope of it's duties or the reasons for its existance, al though it is one of the finest branches of the service, and second in import ance to no other. It is the nerve sys- tenn of the army by which information is transmitted to the brain. It's main duty is the speedy dissemination of military intelligence or information. It directs the fire of the guns, permits the commander, in his headquarters, to listen over the terephone to, the noise of battle anywhere along his

These cars were bought long ago, and we are just getting them off the freight depot now Our prob Iem IS not how to sell the cars, but how to supply our patrons with the cars we sell
 In this connection humorous in cldent occurred one day last week. There is a certain individual who has been in the habit of stopping in at the office here to chat about business. One day he saw one of our salesmen explaining to man who had just bought a big Cadillac, that it would be some time before we could make d delivery. After listening to the sales mans talk, our visitor sat down in the office and wrote the following bit of verse:
 Old Timer Buys a Car Look here, my friend, l want to ax Bout motor cars, the real facts An these here bloomin Cadilacs. "All right, old friend; glad you're here Just go and see Joe McAleer.

to the loyal cooperation of the en- w. & Buchanan, and to his enthusi- astic and yet sane and business-like leadership That Dr. Buchanan is no novice in the great work of church building is attested by the following excerpts:
 From the official board of the Church of Christ of Union City, Indiana, where Dr. Buchanan was pastor for a num- Der of years, comes this statement:
 This board desires to testify to the ability and effectiveness of Brother w. $. Buchanan as a speaker. and his re- sourcefulness as a money raiser and church dedicator Tn either or both of these capacities he is without a su
 perior. He has twice rededicated the | church building of this congregation, once when it was remodeled. and again when it was rebuilt after being parti- ally destroyed by fire. In each case the necessary money was raised with ease and alacrity. His methods are sane and feasible and always success ful. His appeals for money are per suasive and he has the happy faculty of keeping his audience in good hum or, while impressing them with the fact that it is pleasure and privilege as well as duty to give to the up- building of the Kingdom. This board unhesitatingly and unqualifiedly rec ommends Brother Buchanan as speaker, a money raiser and church dedicator
 And from the membership of the church at Marion, Indiana. in which field Dr. Buchanan also served sue cessful passionate, comes the following:
 We the undersigned members of the First Christian Church of Marion. 1n diana were active members of this church during the pastorate of Rev. W. s. Buchanan, for a period of about three years, and we take D easure Tn expressing our appreciation of his eX- cellent work while here. He has shown exceptional ability in starting our church an sound, financial footing, and which pans we are still following.
 When Rev. Buch1lan began his work here, our congregation was small, and with his excellent leadership it gained rapidly in strength. both spir- itually and financially, until our po- sition changed from one of the small est to the second largest church in the city, having present enrolled membership of over eleven hundred.
 We do, most heartily, commend him to any congregation needing an or ganizer of ability
 One could go on indefinite V with these statements of appreciation from congregations which pr. Buchanan has served, but these will suffice to in troduce him to the people of Phoenix, to many of whom he is already known. as leader of rare ability, whose meth
 ods are sane and businesslike.

SWEET CORN'S USE

0WGG4 VVHN OOG
Sweet corn may appear in every course
from soup to dessert It's general compo-
sition suggests that Of the potato, but it
has the advantage Of rather more fat and
protein, and thus comes closer to meat. By
successive paintings the season may be ex-
tended from July to October in most Of our
country, and it should be used freely while
it lasts.
Experience is nedeed to select the ears,
and it is always safe to open the husk
slightly and notice the size of the kernels
In some localities worms attack the corn
and elsewhere the birds make free with it,
Such ears must be carefully trimmed be-
fore cooking. Roasted corn is especially
connected with out-of-door feasts, but it
may be served in the house as well. All
cooked corn left from one meal should find
place at another in SOUP fritters or pud-
ding.
Corn is best when the passage from gar
den to kettle is direct, when the corn is
gathered husked and put directly into
steamer or into boiling water, cooked for
short time and eaten Immediately. Some
times it is advisable to leave the inner
h1sks on and, after removing the silk, draw
the husks around the ear and steam
Succotash, that excellent combination of
beans and corn taught the white men by
the Indians and still retaining it's Indian
name, is not used as much as it deserves to
be- It is never better than when straight
out Of the garden. The two vegetables are
usually cooked separately and then COM
bined, or after the beans are nearly done
the corn cut from the cob may be added,
and the whole cooked half an hour longer.
chowder made from corn is good sub
stitute for a fish chowder and is made in
practically the same way. Fry scraps of
pork and onion, which have been run thru
the meat chopper, then add about equal
amounts Of cut corn and cubes of potato,
cover with water and cook gently until the
potato is tender, then add milk, let it boil
a few minutes, season and serve. Pork
scraps and the liquid fat extracted from
them are an excellent accompaniment for
corn which has been cut from the cob, and
supplies the fat needed in rather less ex-
pensive form than butter Grated or chop
ped corn seasoned and held together with
egg makes an omelet not to be despised,
and with a little milk and flour may be
fried in much or little fat, as fritters
Before corn canneries were as common as
they are now, each household dried any
surplus of sweet corn for winter use Tho
the corn may be dried without first cooking
it, it is better to cook it enough to harden
the milky juice. Cook few extra ears
with the dinner supply each day and after
that meal cut all that is left from the cobs,
spread it on plates or shallow pans and dry
it in the oven with the door open. Thus all
the corn will be Of about the same age, and
the work will be done more easily than if
you tried to dry large quantity at once
TO use the dried corn in winter, soak it
over night, and cook it very little Or if it
is needed in hurry grind it through a
coffee mill or pound it, cover with cold
water and heat slowly, add milk to make

came winding over the brow of a
nearby hill led by man carrying a
yellow flag on pole.
The whole excited population was
assembled when the visitors arrived
with the mysterious yellow flag, and
set it up on the tribunal. The new
comers, from the neighboring village
of Colina, all wore a look of porten-
tous solemnity.
''It is an, evil spirit" said the leader
of the visitors, land must be appeased
with offerings of chickens and rice
wine. Otherwise it will kill all your
village"
The visitors explained that they had
received the spirit from the people
of Ambok, who got it from Sacalan,
who in turn had received it from
Bateng. The spirit had been travel
ing from town to town for long
time, and must go to every town. In
cidentally each town must give the
people who took the spirit to them a
pig for their trouble.
The men of Tanug decided to take
the flag anywhere except to the viii
lage of Gambang. They are our
enemies" they said, land some evil
will befall them If they are not al
lowed to give presents to the spirit 80
But some one warned the people
of Gambang of their danger. They
were distressed and decided to con-
suit the American governor. A mot
ley crew filed into the governors of
fce' most of them in heavy blue coats

with brass buttons. Only the leader
wore trousers, but all of them had
bright red breech-cloths and red
headbands.
By much questioning the governor
finally understood the trouble and he
did not laugh.
He explained the nature of contag-
ION and quarantine and told them
that when disease appeared in a house
the doctors put a yellow flag in front
OF it to warn people to keep away.
This flag was not spirit, but a harm
less rag, and they could go back to
their homes unafraid; nothing would
happen to them.
The Gambang delegation laughed
at the joke on themselves, and left
the governor much satisfied with him

This would be a good place to stop.
but the rest must be told.
A month later smallpox broke out
In the village of Gambang, carried
there by workers from the Benguet
road, and half the people died. In no
other village of the district did a
single case appear. -
-, When the governor heard of IL he
threw up his hands and asked to be
transferred. His usefulness in the
lgorot country had ended.

Half Ton of Fish For Poor,
but Donor Doesn't Know

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 12.-Tony Dew
lakovic, a Puget Sound fisherman, ac-
cording to LII. Darwin, State Fish
Commissioner is contributor of
1000 pounds of choice small salmon
to charity. although az yet Tony does
not know 1t. When representatives
of the State Fish Commission find
him, however, he will be better in
formed. The half ton of fish was
seized yesterday by Darwin as they
were being sunloaded at Pier 1, the
shipment being contraband through
the provision of the State law which
makes 1t Illegal to sell salmon of a
length under fifteen inches. All of
the fish were smaller than the law
permits, SO Devlakovic will be ques-
toned when he Is found.
Under the law such seizures may
not be offered for sale and the Fish
Commissioner thus has 1000 pounds
of fine salmon to give away. Charit-
able institutions and hospitals will he
accommodated with liberal portions OF
the half ton If they will call or tele-
phone the State Fisheries Building
