war department has decided and an
nOunced that the appointment to vol
unteer commissions will be, made
from those classes of our citizens who
have had such experience, and that
from those classes the selections will
be made in the following order:
(A)-PersOns who have had expert
ence as commissioned officers in the
regular army of the United States and
ex-officers of volunteers of proved ex-
perience and efficiency.
(B)-Non-commissioned officers OF
experience in the regular army.
(C)-Persons who have had expert
ence as officers in the militia.
O)-Persons who have qualified
according to law under prescribed ex-
aminatiOns to test their fitness to
command and control men in the field.
(E)-Graduates of educational in
situations of military standing to
which regular army officers are de-
tailed as professors of military science
under the law.
(F)-ShOuld the necessary number
Of volunteer officers required not be
furnished from the above classes, the
war department will give civilians
lacking in actual military experience
an opportunity to appear for examina-
ton to test their fitness for commits
sions, before boards which the war de-
partment proposes to create in the
several states.
Begin Training at Once.
Under the caption Training of Vol
unteers" the war college pamphlet
reads:
"The training of volunteer troops
must begin without delay after their
induction into the service. No time
must be lost. It should begin at the
company rendezvous, without waiting
for complete mobilization. Under our
traditional policy Of relying princi-
pally for defense upon citizen SOL
diers, the larger part Of our land
forces will not be fully trained on the
outbreak of war. 1t is more than
probable that we shall have to employ
some of them with little or no train
ing as soon as they can be assembled
in suitable units.
"The amount and character of the
training will at first be directly pro-
portional to the time consumed, pro-
vided a rational scheme be followed.
How much time will be available it
is impossible to predict. 1t is reason
able to assume, however, that in the
event of a war with an oversee enemy
it will be the time required for our
enemy to establish at least partial
control of the sea sufficient to open
the way for landing Of expeditionary
forces.
''Any system Of training, however,
good in itself, will fail to bring the de-
sired results unless there are avail
able q sufficient number of trained in
structors, officers and noncommis-
stoned officers. The blind cannot lead
the blind"
Referring to the mobilization Of the
volunteer armies, the war college
points out that all points of mobiliza-
ton have been selected, one in each
state of the Union, and that these pre-
liminary arrangements have been ap-
proved by both the federal and state
authorities. These plans provide for
the necessary buildings, for water sup
ply, and all other essential needs
which will arise.

Makes Bryan Tired.

At recent Missouri Chautauqua q
man came to William J. Bryan and
told him: II have always voted fer
you ev'ry time you've run, Mr..
Brine, an I'll be glad to vote fer you
agin' as often as possible" Mr.. Bryan
thanked him, and fellow lyceum
worker said:
Don't you get awfully tired of
having men come up and declare
they've always voted for you and al.

Closing of the big department stores
for two days a week is under consid-
Grafton as a measure to economic

such step on the ground that great
hardships would be inflicted on EN-.

two days employment. They insist
that if the daylight saving measure is
put into effect by March 1, at the lat.

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or calIus so it lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain
A small bottle Of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as it
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

Educators Opinion.

believe that organized emotion can
never take the place of brains; that
fale's first duty in preparing American
citizens, whether for peace or war, is
to adhere to rigid standards of disci-
pline and scholarship and well-devel-
oped sense Of proportiOnate values.
If our students have these things as
basis, the more they prepare them
selves for the possible requirement of
military service the better. Without
