WILL SEND MEN TO
AVIATION SCHOOL


San Francisco, Cal.-The aviation
corps has begun to make inroads in
the ranks of the men at the Preside
military reservation, who are taking
three months course of intensive
training which will fit them to hold
commissions in the army. An order
has been received, which provides
for the sending of men to the avla-
ton school, which shortly is to be
opened at the University Of Califor-
mia in Berkeley. II stipulates, how
ever, that candidates for this serv-
ice must not be over % years (
age. No man is obliged to go. Il
is purely voluntary.
There has been no lack of volun-
teers. The air service apparently
appeals to the imagination OF the
younger men, for there has been
general rush among them to be
among the first chosen. The test the
men are obliged to undergo Is par
tieularly severe. The physical re-
quirements are more exacting than
In any other branch OF the army.
The men will not lose their status
as members Of the reserve officers
training camp. Their salaries will
run on just the same. and they viii
be subject to orders of local au-
thorities. 1t Ia presumed that men
who qualify for the air corps will re-
main at Berkeley to complete the
course.

REGISTERED MEN ARE
WARNED 10 BB READY


washington, July 8---Another step
In building up the selecttve CON
scrsption army was taken today with
the distribution OF circular by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder not
flying the registered men to hold
themselves in readiness for appear
ance before the boards which will
conduct examinations and consider
exemptions.
How or when the government viii
select the men to be examined is not
detailed in the circular, but 1t il re-
vealed that registration cards In
each county or city jurisdiction are
to be numbered with red ink and
that as soon as the drawing Is com
plete lists showing the order in which
these red ink numbers are drawn
will be published in the press and
will be posted at the office Of each
local board" It already has been
announced that the selection will
take place in Washington, and the
general presumption has been that
some device similar to a jury wheel
will be employed.
Exemptions are to be determined
by the local boards, the circular
shows, only for the previously an
nounced specified causes, such as re-
sponsibility for the support OF rela-
AExvar a~d vsr% g1v un.rao,,1%n,wa1 rvs FDa
dustrial reasons. Seven days after
designations are posted will be al
lowed for filing claims. Then there
will be an additional allowance OF
ten days for filing proofs. and the
board must decide within three days
after the proof is filed.
When the case of any registrant
has been disposed OF, so far as the
local board is concerned. the names
of those not exempted or discharged
will be posted. Claims for exemp-
tion for agricultural or industrial
work must be made within five days
after such posting and must go d.
rect to the higher board sitting for
the judicial district. Appeals from
the rulings OF local boards must be
made to the higher board within ten
days.
The circular does not cover the
summoning of the men for actual
service, pointing out that selection
and acceptance does not mean an Inn
mediate summons. Even the time of
the drawing is not specified, but is
suance Of the circular is taken to
mean that the work of selection may
be in progress within a few days.
September has been tentatively
considered as the date for assemb-
ling the first half million men in
environments for training.

FOR KILLING
GROUND SQUIRRELS

The experiment station OF tha
North Dakota agricultural college has
issued the following formula for
poisoning ground squirrSls:
i. nix thoroughly one ounce OF
strychnine alkaIoid (pOwdered) and
one ounce Of baking soda Zone heap
ing tablespoonfnll
2. Silt this into ga pint OF thin,
hot starch paste and stir to creamy
mass. The starch paste Ia made by
dissolving one heaping tablespoonful
Of dry gloss starch IN little cold
water, which ID then added to ga
pint Of boiling water. Boil and stir
constantly until q clear, thin paste
is formed.
8. Add Ia pint Is tablespoonfuls)
heavy corn syrup and tablespoon
full Of glycerine and stir thoroughly.
4. Add 1-S ounce Zone teaspoon
full saccharine and stir thoroughly.
8. Pour this poison solution over
30 quarts OF clean oats and mix
thoroughly so that each grain of
pats is coated. Prepare It "a to 4S
hours before uring.
For mixing small quantities an.
ordinary galvanized wash tub is con-
venient. For large quantities a
tight, smooth box may be used, and
mixing may be done with a shovel.
6. A teaspoonful OF the poisoned
oats should be placed near each
ground squirrel hole or clean hard
ground, letting it scatter slightly as
II falls. (Placed in this way 1t will
not endanger stock.) Do not put the
poisoned grain ON the loose dirt of
the mound or into the holes. Each
quart OF the poisoned grain is suf-
ficient to treat about so holes.

RAIDER OPERATES
IN SOUTH ATLANTIC;
RIVALS THE M0EWE

LONDON, Jan. 17-Most of these
beats reported sunk by German raid
er when last reported were In the
South Atlantic, indicating that the
German raider has been at work Oft
the South American coast. At Norfolk
last night there was picked up wire
less warning that German raider was
off the Brazilian coast near Pernam-
buco last Friday. The message, ad-
dressed ito all ships placed the raid
er in Latitude degrees south and Lon.
rs degrees west. The German vessel
was described as ship OF about 1000
tons. .well.armed and with torpedo
tubes. She had one black funnel and
two masts.
The achievements Of the German
raider Rival the exploits of the raider
Moewe which, after cruising in the At
lantic for several weeks, returned
safely to German port early in March
Of 1916. According to an official an
nouncement at the time, she had on
board 1919 prisoners and 100000
marks in gold bars, and had sunk fiji
teen steamships in addition to laying
mines which destroyed, among other
vessels, the British battleship King
Edward VII.
Successful raids also were made by
the German cruisers Emden and Karls-
ruhe, the converted merchantmen
Prinz Eitel Friedrich and the sub
marine U-53, which last October sank
six merchantmen off Nantucket.

insure reasonably that Wayne county

Twenty boys wanted to join the

the work. I have someone this year,
if I can get the boys" said Mr.. Helms.
Quality Is Considered.
The idea of the club is to raise the
greatest amount of the best grade of
corn at the lowest cost per acre.
Quality is scored higher than quaint

GERMANY FACES
FOOD SHORTAGE;
POTATOES SCARCE

STOCKHOLM, Via London, Jan. II.
The food situation in Germany has
grown much worse during the last six
months. according to the experience OF
an Associated Press correspondent
who has returned from trip to Berlin.
Potatoes are so scarce that this weeks
per capita ration In Berlin was less
than four and half pounds. This is
attributed In part to the farmers with
holding shipments until Feb. 10, when
higher prices will be permitted but 1t
is not denied that the potato crop Is
insufficient to meet normal.
No Cheese on Market.
No cheese has been on the market
since August and eggs are unobtair-
able. except surreptitiously at sixteen
to twenty cents piece. Berlin's daily
milk supply Is about 100000 Ntres
against a normal 100000 and 1t Is
impossible to buy clothing, shoes,
stockings or blankets except by per-
mission of the police. This latter, how
ever, may be merely a precautionary
measure as the shops appear well
stocked with clothing.
Chief Burgomaster Wermuth, as
well as the heads Of other cities. com.
plains that the larger towns are COM
PEELED to suffer unnecessary hardships
because the system Of distribution OF
food stuffs has failed IN many respects.
In some cities the situation seems to
be better than the others and Ber-
lin husiness man told the cOrreSDOnd-
ent that he had spent Christmas week
in a Rhine City where he got plenty
OF meat and bread without being re-
quired to show bread card or meat
