Grotesque Walrus, as Navigators Will

The walruses or "sea horses of the
old navigators are the strangest and

Their large, rugged heads, armed with
two long ivory tusks, and their huge
swollen bodies, covered with hairless.
wrinkled and worty skin, give them a
formidable appearance unlike that of
I any other mammal. They are much
larger than most seals, the old males
weighing from 1000 to 5000 pounds
and the females about two-thirds as
much.
Walruses have strongly developed
maternal instinct and show great de-

American Forces Now
Six Times as Large as

There were 1,428,650 enlisted men

States Army at the opening of 1918,
more than one and a half times as

ker.
During the war with Spain the
Army of the United States at its max

ly six times as great as the maximum
number under arms in the Spanish

PASTOR HAM ADVOCATES
FEDERAL OWNERSHIP OF
u. S. PUBLIC UTILITIES

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 22.-The Rev. ].
w. Ham, pastor of the Baptist Tab
ernacle, Monday was advocating gov
ernment ownership of railroads and
other public utilities as solution of
the traffic congestion and coal famine
that have so troubled America this
winter.
Mr.. Ham touched on the topic in
his sermon Sunday evening, and in
cidentally took occasion to fay his
critics in the recent coal probe,
branding them as the comfortable
rich whose coal bins have been full
while the less fortunate were SILVER
ing.
Mr.. Ham said in part:
Out of the present death grapple
on the part of the world for gov
ornamental democracy there is emerg-
ing on the part of the masses a de-
rnand for industrial democracy. |
believe the hour has struck for Gov
eminent ownership of railroads, coal
mines, telephones, public utilities,
packing industries and grain eleva-
tors. Through the fires of the present
. war we are becoming as one great
family. We have no place for the
profiteers and capitalists who would
withhold and hoard the necessities of
life from the masses. Government
control of these things is good as far
as it goes, but it does not get to the
root of the matter. We must own
these industries and turn the profits
into the National treasury and thus
lift the burden of taxes from those
who are least able to bear it. The
handwriting is on the wall Industrial
democracy must come. The church
can stand on no other side than that
of democracy"

Library Association Provides
Books for Fighting
Forces.

More than half million books al
ready have been furnished soldiers
and sailors in training camps and in
France by the American Library As
ISOLATION War Service and the flow is
steadily increasing, according to the
director of this work.
A campaign for funds inaugurated
by the association last autumn net
ted more than $1,500,000 and real re-
suits in the tangible shape of books
and comfortable libraries are being
felt by the soldiers and sailors. The
Carnegie Corporation gave 100000
tor the erection of camp libraries.
Nearly all camps now have libraries
and in the others the buildings are in
course of construction. The reading
rooms each accommodate $50 men.
For the men in France the asso-
cation has organized distributing sta
tons at all points of embarkation,
where books are assorted for ship
ment abroad. Soon every soldier who
steps on transport will carry a
book with him, which he and his
companions will read on the way
across, after which it will be forward
ed to the men back of the trenches.
No attempt will be made to establish
libraries in France, but the associa-
ADDISON So .evaand in the and in

supervise the work of distribution.

Camp Laurel, Maryland,
March Is, 1918.
Mr.. R. A. Cook,
Ray, Arizona.
Dear Sir
Thought I would write this letter
stating few facts regarding myself,
with the request that it be passed
along to the boys or posted at the
Club, as I have not the time to write
to each of them separately.
I was examined and passed at Phoe-
nix, January II, enlisted in the 18th
Signal Corps, Aviation Section, trans
ferred on the 18th to 23rd Engineers
Corps, was sent from Los Angeles to
Fort Mcdowell, Angels Island, Cal.
on the 18th; was there thirty days
learning the military ga. B. C's."
From there I was sent here, and am
doing my little squads right and
squads left every day.
Am feeling fine and dandy. Like
the army much better than I expected
would Of course, we have our
petty annoyances, and it certainly
goes against the grain for one who
has always had their own way, to con-
form to strict military rules; but that
is part of soldiers sacrifice and
there must be discipline in the army,
otherwise there would be no army.
We have a nice bunch of officers here
and they are certainly doing their
duty. We are kept busy from reveille
to retreat, drilling, exercising, etc.
Sometimes we are taken out to lee
lures at night. Anyhow, think we
are being transformed from rockies
into soldiers about as fast as it could
be done, everything considered.
We arrived here in a snow storm
and it was also pretty cold; but has
turned warm now. but I think there
J is another rain about due, as we have
not had any rain since yesterday.
There are several of the Ray Con en-
ployees in my company, including a
Mr.. Beattie, who is cousin of Mrs.
L. S. Gates. We are all working like
beavers, and are anxious to get across,
but don't know when that will be.
I am feeling o. K and think I am
gaining in weight. I received a pack
age containing months supply of
tobacco from the "Men of Ray" and
will say their kindness will be long
remembered.
Well, I guess I had as we'll bring
this to a close-hoping that the war
either ends or that we get across soon.
With best regards and good wishes
to all the boys, I am
Sincerely yours,
