YOUNG MEN WANTED
FOR ARMY SIGNAL CORPS

Editor Banner:
I This letter is being addressed Il
you in an effort to secure your pa
triotic cooperation in the carrying out
Of huge educational campaign de-
signed to train men who are regist-
cred in the draft for service in the
Signel Corps branch Of the army.
The Signal Corps of the United
States army is in urgent need of some
twenty thousand telegraphers and in
asmuch as the available supply has
already been practically exhausted, il
has become necessary to institute an
intensive campaign to supply the need
as new armies are being formed.
Western Michigan's quota has been
set at 425 men. 1t will be necessary
to enroll larger number than this
in order to secure the full quota be-
cause Of the fact that a certain per-
|centage will not secure placement in
the Signal Corps because of entering
other branches Of the army or by be-
ing disqualified for some other rea-
son.
The city of Grand Rapids has been
selected as the center to which regist-
cred men likely to be included in
"Class /" of the draft will be
brought from all over Western Michi-
gan to be trained as telegraph operat-
ors for service in the Signal Corps.
Grand Rapids being the metropolis
and recruiting headquarters of West
iern Michigan is particularly situated
to carry on this all important work.
An advisory committee of which the
city commissioner is chairman has
been appointed and has arranged a
cooperative plan whereby employ
ment may be secured by men from
outside the city in order that they
may support themselves while taking
advantage of this class of work.
High class young men technically
inclined who are included in the draft
should be thoroughly interested in
this class Of work because of the fact
that it will qualify them for Prefer
red Service" in a desirable branch
of the army, which is practically free
of trench duty. The. duty of the Sig
nal Corps is the transmission of in
formation between the various operat-
ing units of the army by various sig
mailing methods, the basis one being
the telegraph. Without an efficient
Signal Corps effective movement of
troops in the field would be practical
this service should be of high type
ly impossible. Young men who enter
and technically inclined because of
the confidential and technical nature
of the work. Signel Corps work
should especially appeal to young
men interested in electical or tele-
phone and telegraph industries. 1t
will afford them a chance to capitalize
the experience they have had and will
give them line of experience in the
army that will be of material value
to them in after life. Signal Corps
service should be sought by such men
also because of the fact that the work
is largely individual and the number
of officers is larger in proportion to
privates than in most other branches
of the army.
Respectfully yours.
Verne II. Smiley,
Director u. S. Signal Corps School.

Salt Water and Fish

II a fresh-water creature, like q
crawfish, is put into sea water OF
other water that is strongly saline in
character it dies. If, on the other
hand, an essentially saltwater crea-
ture, such as a jellyfsh, is put into
fresh water it also dies. Some have
attributed such deaths to poisoning
by salt but science teaches that the
salt acts only through its "osmotic'
power; it does not really cause death
by poisoning.
Creatures adapted and accustomed
to living in fresh water "dry up" or
shrivel when plunged into sea water.
This is particularly true where the
skin is thin and the organs under it
are delicate. The shriveling of the
lungs of course results in death from
asphyxiation. Conversely, when a
marine creature, saturated with salt,
is thrust into fresh water it swells up
so that its organs cannot function
properly and death results.
If the change from fresh to salt
water or from salt to fresh water is
made gradually the organism is able
to adapt itself to the changed condi-
ton. This explains why salmon can
safely leave salt water and why cells
can go from fresh to the sea where
their eggs are deposited.
In passing from fresh to salt water
or vice versa fish adapt themselves
by degrees to the new medium by
passing through water where the de-
gree Of saltiness is intermediate. If
il is desired to make the transfer ex-
perimentally the saltiness of the wa
ter must be increased or decreased
gradually and progressively.
The progeny of many creatures re-
sist changed environemnt better
than the parents. For example, if
fresh water containing daphniidae is
sailed progressively the little crea-
lures will finally die but the young
Matched few days later from their
eggs thrive as if the water had not
been changed. This property by
which resistance is increased in the
progeny explains how species is of
ten able in time to adapt itself to con-
ditions which would have been fatal
at an earlier period of its history.

SHORT COURSES OPEN
AT N. A. C. MONDAY

NJ. A.C.'s annual mid-winter short
courses il agriculture and the kindred
industries will open at the college on
Monday, January 7,,and will continue
without pause until March 2. Usu-
ally these courses are simply means
whereby individuals who have neither
the time nor the inclination to give
four years to college work can in
eight weeks pick up the practical
points in agriculture, dairying, horti-
culture, poultry and number of 9TH
er subjects, but they will this winter
serve as well as a training school
where young Michigan, if it chooses,
can learn number of necessary les
sons about wartime farming.
This department. of the colleges
work is under the direction of Ashley
M Berrdge, to whom requests for
in formation can be addressed.

Now Use Them

Sparta has two additions to it's
community. First, new library for
which Andrew Carnegie has paid; Sec
ond, librarian, Mrs. f. X. Goodhue,
please meet her.
Both are absolutely useless to this
community unless they are apprecit-
ed and used. Mrs. Goodhue is placed
in charge to help library patronsin the
selection of books and to suggest uses
for the equipment Of the institution.
Mrs. Goodhue's clerical work is only
incidental, her real work is based on
her acquaintance with the community
and its needs. She cannot go to the
community, it is designed that the
community come to her, which it
should do freely. The matter Of US
ing library is more or less Of an
art, and intelligent advice by a Ii
brarian is invaluable i'm directing
choice and selection of books.
So use your new library, consule
your new librarian freely, get to feel
at home in the building and utilize it
to it's fullest extent.

Pewamo.-The members Of the Pc
wamo Baptist church. at a recent
meeting, decided it was useless to at
tempt to continue the church as an
active society in the community and
voted to give up the unequal struggle,
dispose Of the church property, pay
the few remaining debts and write
"Finis" on the books of one of the
oldest societies in the village, a Soc
iety that has had much to do with the
moral and spiritual welfare of the
village almost from the time when
this site was chosen by the pioneers
of those days as an abiding place for
themselves and those that were to fol-
low after in the years to come. .

last week to take four children from
Ionia county to the state school there.
One of the children was Hazel

The other three were the children of
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Peterman, who
have been living in the city for some
time past, although they are really
Montcalm charges, and whose fam
lily has formed one of the most con-
spicious trials Of both counties for a
period of years. There are two older
boys who have not yet been disposed
of. The children taken this morning
were: Laverne. four years old, Caro-

for time about two years ago in a
tent on one Of the bluffs on East Main
street, and lately have been in a shack
