Civil Service Notice

Washington, D. c., April 191S.-
The United States Civil Service Com
mission announces that on March 27,
1918, the President approved joint
resolution Of Congress suspending,
during the period of the present war,
the operation of the provision of law
which required applicants for civil
service examinations to be examined
in the State or Territory in which
they reside. During the period of the
war, therefore, applicants for any
examination held by the Commission
may be examined at any place at
which the examination is held, re-
gardless of their place of residence.
An act of July 2, 1909, required
examinations to be taken in the State
of residence. While this provision
is suspended for the period of the
war, it is still required that only
those who have been actually domi-
ciled in the State or Territory in
which they reside for at least one
year previous to the examination
may become eligible for permanent
appointment to the apportioned de-
partmental service in Washington
d. C..

Farmers Quit League

81 don't believe the Non-partisan
league is going to cut the figures in
the coming election that it's promot-
ers expect" is a statement made by
James A. Larson, assistant secretary
of state.
II have just returned from a trip
through Grant and Traverse coun-
ties, where the league is supposed
to be as strong as anywhere in the
state, and according to the informa-
tion l gathered the farmers are not
any too we'll pleased with the organi-
zation.
"Many of them are deserting, and
others are inclined to assert their
independence of the organic alton, and
to look over the candidates for the
legislature and other Offices with a
view to voting as suits them indi-
vidually. 1t looks to me as though
the league will not be able to de-
liver the votes of the memhers as
the leaders plan"

Mr.. and Mrs. S. S. Castle and Mrs.

What's the matter with our farm
ers that they don't get together and
start the wheel rolling for the Sorg-
hum industry? Seed is cheap, soil
adapted and equipment for manufac-
turing plant would cost less than a
touring car; besides it is a necessity
and profitable crop to raise. Every
household and local grocer should be
supplied with the home grown prod
uct.
1t is not our purpose to out-do our
progressive neighbors in adjoining
villages; however to show that our
village is in line for early purchase
of the Third Liberty Bond we are
pleased to state that George Everett,
who went to Minneapolis hospital
for a serious opreation, not KNOWN G
when he would be able to return, on
January "a deposited $100 in the 10,
cal bank to be invested in Liberty
Bonds. We are also pleased to note
the fact that Mr.. Everett returned
home in time to see his money ex-
changed for his much coveted Lib
erty Bonds.

A thrifty housewife says here
isn't much venison in market, but
there is plenty of dear meat.
Matches can be waterproofed by
dipping them in melted paraffin.
Don't worry over mistake that
can be corrected, but go to work and
correct it.
1t is easier to make mountain out
of a molehill than it is to convince
some people that they are wrong.
1t is useless to question why could
we not have kept out of the war. We
are in it. There is only one question:
Are you for America or against her?
Your answer is found in your deeds,
not your words. What can | do?
Some ca fnarm, work in factories,
buy Liberty Bonds, work for and give
to the Red Cross, but the Food Ser
vice is the one service in which all,
young and old, can help win the war.
No service excels in important food
service. Upon it's success hinges the
fate of America and the freedom of
all the world.

A Dream.
The story is now going the rounds
of dream of certain private. Some
time ago an order was issued that
the bottoms of all fatigue breeches
blue denim overalls-should no
longer be rolled up, if too long, but
should be cut off to the proper
length. The private dreamed the di-
vision was in France, and in a big
battle. His company was hard-pressed
and nearly out of ammunition. The
captain had his signal man operat-
ing buzzer call division headquar-
ters far to the rear for reinforce
ments-both men and cartridges.
There was a long delay in getting
the message thru. A painful delay
followed. The captain was in des-
pair. He tried to get division head
quarters again but the wire was cut
somewhere. Finally a runner ap-
peared and flashed a written message
from headquarters before the cap
tain. His hopes surged high for the
moment. And then he read therein:
"You will explain by written indorse-
ment at once why three OF your men
went "over the top" with their fati-
que breeches rolled at the bottom =
The dream ended.
Camp Gossip.
l. Company was released from
quarantine last Saturday just in time
for about 80 of the men to catch a
tour of division guard.
The 136th regiment this week re-
ceived gas masks and will have sew
eral days special training in their
use. Officers and men during this
period will carry the masks at all
times.
A party of L Company non-coms
made an overland trip Saturday af-
ternoon and Sunday to Elephant But
te dam, round trip of about 200
miles. The party consisted of Sgts.
Frank Welch, Gray and Beck, Cor
porals Fawlen, Schlick and Baldwin.
1t. Peavey has been detached from
the company as Battalion Intelligence
and Shipping Officer. Corporal Harold
Johnson and Morrow have been as

The Redwood gazette., 1918-04-10

Men selected for guard duty must
appear smoothly shaven, shoes pol
ished, rifle and side arms cleaned to
blouse collar hooked. Anything less
is not tolerated.
Details Cared For.
Men who go up town must be
dressed properly, likewise shaved and
polished. Once a week man stands
a formal inspection, at which thor
ough attention is paid to details of
equipment. His quarters must be
kept clean, his bunk neatly made up,
no rubbish or dirty clothing under
his bed. Twice a week he is ex-
pected to take bath, and our splen-
did showers here make it easy for
most men to comply with that sani-
tary regulation. Once in awhile a
man shows up who in civil life was
not among the regular Saturday
"nighters" and he still tries to get
by here with his monthly or semi
monthly bath. He doesn't get by
often until his tent or squad mates
impressively assist him in thor
ough soaking and scrubbing under
the showers, after which lesson he
develops very easily a frequent and
regular habit.
Dress Regulated.
Regulations as to what shall be
worn and how it shall be worn are
very strictly enforced, even to the
smallest details. the wisdom of which
is obvious. Division headquarters
be worn, or the cotton uniform, when
blouses be worn, when overcoats be
included These spring days the
wearing of the latter is optional with
the men during visits out of camp.
Nowadays we appear in all forma-
tions with uniforms complete, blouses
being worn. At other times and off
working hours, men outside the COM
pany street unless going to Deming,
may not wear blouses, but must wear
black neckties, on their flannel shirts.
Only the canvas leggins are per-
mitted, at least to infantrymen. The
man with the blue hat cord shall not
appear in the wrapped spiral puttees
or leather leggins which the caval-
ryman wears. Only the issue hat is
allowed, an O. D. soft brimmed hat
Some men there are who have pur-
chased commercial hats, stiff brimmed
and of darker color than the issue
for dress up occasions. Such a man
is lucky if he ever. is allowed to
wear it outside the company street
Leather hat straps are banned. only
the shoe string straps which comes
with the hat being permitted. Vari-
Gus sorts of jewelry are tabooed
watch fobs, chains, pins and badges
except they be official.
Now, how are these various regu-
lations enforced? At the entrance
to camp is a guard, one of !. whose
duties is to know regulations as to
uniforms and to turn back any men
not properly garbed. In Deming the
military police are on the job, and
any man not caught at the gate is
picked up by the M. P.'s. Then there
are numerous inspectors and higher
officers on the job during the day
who enforce uniform regulations.
And not so often is the man himself
"called" for improper dress, but his
company officers are given the chance
to explain, either in person or in
writing. Annoyances all clothing
regulations might be, but the gen.
eral effect has been to improve the
general camp spirit and discipline.

Bond Bombs

If you bought Liberty Bonds last
time, respond to an encore.
Give your dollars and the billions
will take care Of themselves.
In this Third Liberty Loan YOU
come across or the kaiser will.
Don't stand around and grunt while
the other fellow lifts-buy a bond.
Your money can't be neutral. It's
for or against America. Buy Bonds.
If this were Germany, which thank
God it isn't, liberty bond buying would
be demand and not a request. Please
buy lot of them.
Dent get cold feet. Our soldiers
in France don't.
Heavy bondage will lead to Liber-
ty. Make it heavy.
I don't think much of man who
is not wiser today than he was yes
terday-Abraham Lincoln. Be thou
sand dollars wiser this time than you
were last.

had jinxed us. And still we remain
GnUeneverS.
There were men jubilant over this
report, because they felt the bottom
oau cropped out Of the war and
home was not much longer away.
There were others as highly elated
for in such calamity to the Ger
n'ans in such ~ opportunity 20 get
the enemy on the run and keep him
there until he had Topped over the
Rhine, all possible reserves of allied
troops would be needed at once; thus
would our departure to the field of
battle "over there" be fastened.
: Plot Failed.
Now that it is all over we are
exceedingly curious to know the
source of the report There is a
widespread belief here that it was
the work of German propa gandists,
attempting to upset the interest OF
the soldiers in camp in further train
ing, as matter of fact, upset the
entire country at the moment of
great success to the German drive.
It were possible some Hun phychol-
ogist might mistakenly reason that
our soldiers could be easily halted
in their stride, and that for a week
or so seriously let up their train
ing. If such be the case the story
AS matter of fact, l believe the
recoil effect of that story has jolted
soldiers into greater interest in the
big war, in the present big drive.
Men are seeking information as
have not heard before, of the gen.
eral situation, asking for maps to
study the swaying battle lines, in
terested in the details of the terms
of place imposed on Russia and Rou-
mania by the Teutonic barbarians
questioning more closely the results
of big German victories to date, show
ing increased interest in and un-
standing of the difference in Ger
man and American political ideals
These men are more than ever "rar-
in to CO." If this be German prop
aganda let us have some more Of
the same kind.
Army Discipline.
Civilians hear much of discipline
lneSe war Gays anu IH0SC ol us III
pre-war and recruit days heard OF
army discipline with certain misgiv-
ings. Discipline in the army means
nothing more than. the habit of in.
stant and willing obedience. That is
enough of definition and thereby
is the vital necessity of discipline in
the army expressed. At present ]
will elaborate only by stating some
of the things which contribute to
the growth of the "habit," relating
to personal appearance of the sol
dier, to sanitary and hygienic rules,
to uniform regulations. 1t is at
once obvious that a dirty, slouchy,
unkempt soldier is - well, he's not
a soldier. That is impossible. On
the other hand the soldier in neat
olive drab, shaved and brushed and
polished, is marked as a man with
gride in himself, which pride means
alertness, wide-awakeness, snappi-
ness soldier characteristics. So Gus
tom and organization spirit and ar
my rules are constantly and rigidly
teaching men, encouraging some,
forcing others into the ways of good
appearance and cleanliness.
