TO SELECT MEN FOR THE TRAINING CAMPS

The University of Arizona has the opportunity of. srpplying 24 men to tise third series of Officers Training Camps wh.ch are to be held at Fort Bliss, Fort. Sam Houston and Chick amauga, Ga, from January to April 5, 1918. It is the object of these camps to train men for appointments as officers to fill vacancies that may occur in the regular army, the Ma tional Guard and the National Army, and graduates of these camps will be commissioned as End Lieutenants.
 The qualifications for admission in the 3rd camp are somewhat more stringent than have been the rule in the last two, the admissions to the training camp being divided up among the universities of the country and only those recommended by the mill tary department of these universities will be admitted. The quota from the University of Arizona is 24 men.
 Candidates for admission to this last training camp must be between the ages of 21 and 31 years on Jan uary 9th, 1918. Although married men will be admitted, the preference in case a greater number apply than there is room for, will be given to unmarried men, All graduates or ex- students of the University of Arizona if they desire to enter this 3rd Off cers' Training Camp should make ap- plication for the necessary blanks from Capt. Cyrus R. Street, Profes- sor of Science and Military Tactics at the University of Arizona. Stu dents at this camp will receive the pay and allowances of a private, about 30 dollars per month, with food, clothing, quarters and medical attention.

READY FOR THE BIG DRIVE.

Secretary Smalley of the Food Conservation headquarters has mail- ed out all the supplies needed by the county and city representatives in the big food card drive that starts October 28, together with attractive posters. Provision also has been made for slides for moving picture houses, to be shown each evening during the entire week. Pledge cards and explanatory matter have been printed in Spanish and are expected to be of large benefit in explaining the cause to the Mexican residents of the state. Warren McArthur, who is managing the weeks campaign, now is touring in northern Arizona, ac- companied by c. W. Crist, who is rep resenting the National Department of Agriculture, and who has been doing very effective work in Arizona, com polling his auditors to understand what the world war means to each in- dividual.
 r An especially effective organiza- tion for Pledge Card week has been formed in Tucson, where Chairman L. H. Hormeister of the local organ ization has added attorney S. NJ Franklin to his staff, as county man. ager. The whole county has been thoroughly blocked out for the weeks drive. Preparation has been made for a number of public meetings and for special talks in Spanish. The women are very prominent in the organiza- tion and especially good work is not ed on the part of Miss Phyllis Mans field, daughter of one of the city's pioneers.
 The Spanish-speaking population of southern Arizona is showing the keen est appreciation and best of good will toward both the Food Card Drive and the Liberty Loan. A number of cat tlemen of Mexican birth or ancestry have bought bonds in amounts vary ing from $1 ,000 to $5,000 each.

 Renewed Interest In Red Cross.
 The Red Cross is truly doing it's "bit". An unusual number of splen- did workers were on hand the past week to make things hum. With all the shipping of the recent week there yet remained the knitted articles to be sent off. The box contained hel- mets, sweaters, scarfs, wristlets, and socks-and certainly bespoke warmth for the boys in the trenches. The new lot of yarn has arrived and knitters are urged to come to the work rooms and provide themselves with some of it that our quota of knitted articles may be speedily sent. The ones fin ished were expressed direct to New York and from there they will be con- signed at the earliest possible mo- ment to France. The young ladies of the Normal are helping magnificent ly with the Red Cross work. Each evening between the hours of 2 and 8 the classes in surgical gauge work un- remittingly and knitting machine is soon to be installed at the Normal to facilitate the work in that line. The young ladies in town are to be seen on Tuesdays and Fridays at the Red Cross work rooms also. The filling of the one hundred and forty comfort bags goes steadily forward. The children of Emerson school worked like Trojans to do their "bit" with the result that about twenty-five dollars was handed in by them. Miss Francis of the seventh, enthused her class by bringing them all to the work rooms last Friday and explaining the va rious lines of work. The comfort bags were so attractive to them that these scouts turned over six dollars for their share in the good cause. The soldier boys who will get this con- signment of bags are now in Linda Vista. Mrs. Porter was in receipt of a letter this week from Tom Smith, formerly of Flagstaff, but now in Company E, 162nd Infantry, station ed at Charlotte, North Carolina. He had read in the Sun that the ladies were supplying the soldiers with many needful things and his attachment to Flagstaff prompted him to ask for some memento from these Red Cross workers. No time will be lost in send ing a we'll equipped comfort bag to this boy whom many here will remem- Der.
