The average American who has
job ass. gned to him wants to do it
we'll. He doesn't care to dawdle over
the job and make a mess of. it. Nor
does he care to make it a halfway
success. He is determined to make
it a fun 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
want to waste any time in the pro-
cess.
More than that, if you are ambiti
Gus 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
corporal or sergeant or win higher
promotion until after you have thor
cughly mastered the duties of a pri-
vate. Nor will all the men who
would like to win advancement easily
obtain it. There is only one way to
get ahead in the Army, and that is to
follow conscientiously to the end the
re guIar system of training laid ont
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 go 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. II is
divided into close order drill and ex-
tCnded-order drIll.
Close order" is defined in the
Regulations as the formation in
which the units. in double rank, are
arranged in line or in column with
normal 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 de-
fInitions are clear enough to those

However. this is only one of an in

to have each man control his own
movements without attempting to
conform exactly to the movements OF
the other men.
During drill in close order you viii
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
comfortable.
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 required Of you and
how you can get more benefit out OF
your training.

Help to Save the Trees.

The plea of the city forester for the aid of citizens in protecting our street trees from insect attacks should be needed. A little individual effort on the part of householders would he of great assistance. It would cost but little in time or trouble to remove the conspicuous egg-masses of the tussock moth. one of the worst of our tree foes here which later hatch into voracious caterpillars, or to wrap the trunks with sticky fiY-paper before the middle of May. The slight labor would be amply repaid in benefit to the trees and the rlddance of fuzzy caterplllars crawling over porches and piazza furniture. Why not help little, personally, in- stead of expecting the city to do it all? Detroit Free Press.

NEARLY ALL LOVE A GARDEN
No Other Pastire, Unless It Be That of Angling, Has Stronger Grip
 Upon Its Devotees.

"There be delights" says an ancient writer "that will fetch the day about from sun to sun and rock the tedious year as in n delightful dream" Thus and very much after this manner, the charming old prosepoet, amably gar den made, continues, page atter page, to describe the 1000 delights to be found in the "flowery orchard' of his centu4y-deseribes them with an aban- don of happiness that suggests the rap tHre of St. Bernard when hymning the New Jerusalem"
 Tn fact. barring the equally ancient and aiiuring pastime of going a-tishing, no hobby has a stronger grip on its de voices than gardening, observes Fran ces Duncan in Seribner's. At four oeloek of Il summer morning Celia ThaXter could be found at work i'll her radiant little island plot, sister in spirit to old Ghaucer when on his knees in the grass at dawn to watch daisy open And these were not exceptional, not extraordinary cases of devotion: they were merely typical opponents of the true gardeners passion.
 Nor Is this tense enthusiasm fleeting. Not ii the least. It Is no more tran- sient than the biblomaniac's passion, ne more eFaneseent than the collectors zeal, which only death can queneh. IL Is no sudden, youthful feryor; indeed. it is rarely found in youth at the storm and stress period while 1t may be ob- served to be strongest in those for whom the days of wild enthusiasm are over. The bachelor clergyman or the quietest of spinsters. for whom other passion is nonexistent will yet lavish on their gardens enough devotion 10 have wnn the heart of the most ob- durate of persons, enough tenderness te have sufiieed for the mothering of dozen little ones 4 garden is the world of the reCluse, the passion of the lone man or woman, the diversion If statesmen. the recreation of poets and artists of all ages.

sessed the chemical formula. Adams, for reasons of his own, hid the docu- ment in his military belt. He thought that he alone knew where it had been secreted.
 To Major Brent the southern detail was a most welcome one, for he looked upon it as an opportunity to be re lieved of the constant persecution of Bertha Bonn who seldom let day pass without making an effort to be- guile him and finally threatened to expose their affair to Pearl Dare.
 As well may be imagined. therefore, when on leaving Washington on the long overland journey. Brent ran across the girl on his train and dscov- cred that she also was bound for the Granadian frontier, his rage knew no bounds. He became possessed of one idea-how to evade her forever.
 The circumstances were more than party had arrived and were domiciled at Fort Gordon, military post of strategic value, adjacent to the com munity of Paso del Norte. He had gone to the hotel to prevent meet ing between Pearl and Bertha, which for that night.
 Seated at q corner table in the rude basement bar, Brent bolstered his courage with a julep.
 Brent was in the act of lighting a cigarette when q faint shadow crept soft, purring voice in foreign accents whispered in his ear:
 Do not turn, senor. It would be dangerous. You desire to efface Der tha Bonn from your life; eh, senor? An! That will be easy and at no in- convenience to the major. It will hap pen tonight, if the senor officer, who desires the eolonel's daughter to for get forever about Captain Payne will follow the written directions"
 The voice ceased. The shadow faded. Brent sat as still as stone for a sec ond. When he looked about no one was within immediate talking distance. He put on his hat, paid his bill, and stepped outdoors. Here he almost ran over a little halfbreed girl, who, to his surprise, thrust into his hand a nosegay and quickly disappeared around the corner of the building. A note was fastened to the stem.
 Send Pearl Dare alone in the twilight to the pass before Bertha Bonn arrives at Fort Gordon" the note read, "she must wear the belt of Orderly Adams. She will

return unharmed and be yours forever. Meanwhile Bertha Bonn will disappear" ,"
 Brent leaped upon his horse and sent for Adams ss soon as he arrived at the fort.
 Let me have your belt, sir" he de manded when the latter appeared.
 There was nothing to do but obey the superior officer.
 When he was alone Brent scruti- nized the belt with great care. It did not seem to differ in any respect from the common article. Afterwards he sent for Pearl, with whom he had a long and serious talk.
 That evening Pearl set out alone on horseback, laughingly refusing an escort and stating that she did not in- tend to go far or be absent long. In the holster of Adams belt, which Ma jor Brent insisted upon adjusting around her waist. was a loaded re- volver. Toko was to fetch Bertha Bonn about the hour fixed for her return. Twilight deepened into darkness. She dug the spurs into the Hanks of her mare so as to reach her destina- tion quickly for she was eager to ac- complish her errand. Suddenly the mare stumbled and fell, throwing her. She rose unhurt. The mare, however, lay writhing with broken leg. Pearl drew her revolver and shot the mare.
 She realized that she was alone in an unknown country. Yet she was not alarmed, even when, after dis charging her revolver in the air. no sign of assistance appeared. Present ly there did appear light moving rap idly and draw 2 nearer every sec ond After an interval, an automobile hove in sight. Toko was at the wheel i; in the rear sat Miss Bonn.
 In that same instant Orderly Adams rode toward her like mad, and there loomed out of the shadows q body of horsemen intent upon doing harm. Pearl was lifted by two powerful arms and tossed upon saddle in front of I huge and evil-eyed foreigner. A fu- sillade of shots followed, a blanket was thrown over her head. and she could neither see nor hear more.

With Canada, our northern neighbor, we had no difficulty except that by her we were not regarded with the old-time friendliness; rather were we in disfavor because of our neutral position with all powers then at war in Europe, of which her mother country was one. On our southern ex- posture we were always in hot water {; and now added fire had been heaped under the troublesome diplomatic kettle and Granada was boiling.
 AS precautionary measure Colonel Dare and his staff were detailed south to quietly establish base patrols on the Granadian frontier and meet and con fer with the American consul, whose passports had been handed to him by the Granadian government. Miss Pearl Dare, with Toko and the big touring car, accompanied them.
 To Orderly Adams, it must be ad- mitted, the orders to go south came as though they had been long expected, and he prepared. As soldier he had developed with remarkable aptitude and was eager to see real service. As a private individual, so far as his open conduct was concerned, the confidence of the Dares seemed to have been war ranted. Unknown to anyone, however, except the foreign alliance, Adams was really not what he represented himself to be, or at least was open to serious doubts as to the patriotic side of his character. For Adams was the poSsessor of the secret canal-defense plans. This undergraduates military document was in the slim, ob- long packet brought to him by Bertha Bonn in the committee room of Sena- tor Warfield. It came from the foreign alliance, who, by their own error, thought tLey had sent him a copy, when too late realizing their mistake, for the ink in the plans had faded en- tirely, rendering them illegible until another chemical application could be made This. for the time being, it was impossible to do because no one pos

NEW METHODS BRING SAVING
Application of Business Principles by Town Manager Finds Favor in
 Massachusetts Community.

George F. Willett of Norwood, Muss., gave Il talk on the business manager form of government for towns and cities at Il meeting of the Boston Art club recently. He showed how the scientific and efficient business pfin- eiples of well-managed and conduct cd corporation can be applied to the administration of public affairs and public expenditures. This system in NorWood. he said, has resulted III Il more democratic form of government and brought about substantial saw Ing in the expenditures of the town. The average citizen gets better knowledge of affairs under that sys- tenn, he said.
 Norwood has an unpaid commission of five men. They determine the peli- cies of the town, and paid experts un- der the leadership of a professional town manager carry them out after the citizens have passed upon them. L Is not leadership under one man or il despotie form of government. but the intelligent response of American democracy to it's responsibilities.
 In the crisis this country is now fac ing the speaker said that the business men are rushing forward to offer their services to help the government carry on war as efficiently as possible. If the business men would only display the same interest in the ordinary af- fairs of state, he declared, millions of dollars would be saved yearly by the application of their business knowl- edge to the affairs of towns, cities and states.
