Governor Stanley is endeavoring to

SPECIALISTS NEEDED IN ARMY

Twenty-Five out of every hundred
soldiers in the modern Army must be
specialist in some trade.
In old times it was customary to
make these specialists to order, ac-
cepting any intelligent man for train
ing. Under present-day conditions
however, that is impossible, and the
specialists must be found ready-made,
They must be good at their trades
and the commanders must known ex-
actly how good they are.
Therefore it has been necessary to
establish trade tests, to measure the
skill of the men at whatever their
trade, from mechanic to typist.

SAMMY FISHED WITH
A GRENADE
And Was Decorated With Fisher
mans Luck

At AK a strange story was told
of an American soldier who will prob
ably abandon fishing for the rest of
his life. 1t seems that the rookie
had heard said that one could really
catch fish with hand-grenade, the
method being to proceed to the lair
of the fish and hurl the hand-grenade
into the water. The grenade, explod-
ing, would kill all the fish in the
neighborhood, and one could gather
in plentiful harvest.
So our hero set forth one evening
and, reaching a not-far-distant cam
al, he threw in his hand-grenade. Nc
doubt it killed a fish or so, but un-
fortunately, so intent was he on his
job that he had not noticed barge
hard by. The grenade nearly blew
the barge and bargee and his family
out of France, and did such mighty
damage to boat and boatmen that,
although for the moment flight en-
abled the culprit to escape arrest, it
was quite clear that, when discovered
as he would inevitably be, he would
suffer very severe punishment. 1t
cannot be permitted to blow French
barges up with impunity. A court
martial and death were the least that
the wretch expected.
That night there was an attack
on the American sector. Our man
went over the top a desperate rookie.
He had determined to die a glorious
death rather than submit to a shame
full end. The result was, that, sing
le-handed, he killed seven Germans
and selling a machine gun, turned it
on the enemy, thereby saving a tick
lsh situation. Picking up the ma
chine gun, after it had done sufficient
damage, he carried it back toward
his own lines, but en- route, he fell
into a German trench and upon the
head Of a German postmar. This
postman was laden with Christmas
mail for the regiment or company
ousted from the trench; cigars anc
other delicacies were among his bur
dens.
AS the officer who told the story
said, the rookie murdered the post
man and, selling several bags of mai
bore them in addition to his machine
gun, back to his own people. Hi!
record for the days work was deemed
not only sufficient to condone for hi
fishing escapade, but to his aston
ishment, he received a medal for dis
| tinguished conduct in the field. H,
was decorated! Fisherman's lucl
with vengeance!- Fl. Sothern il

NATURE STUDY
CLASSES RESUMED
The People of Japan Illustrated at
the Museum

The attention of the children is
called to their table at the Fairbanks
Museum which this week shows some
thing of the life of the people of
Japan. The dress is Illustrated by lit
tie dolls. Especially interesting is
the little school girl doll A real
pair of children's shoes is shown and
the way they are held on is dem
onstrated by an adults sandal and
sock. A model of dinner service
and a real tea service form one sec
ton of the exhibit. With the Jap
anese writing paper, ink and writing
brush, is an Illustrated geography
that some of the Japanese children
study. This latter may be examined
by those who wish to see it.
The exhibits of seaside plants have
been greatly increased by collections
from Nantucket, Mass, sent by Rev.
M. A. Farren and from York Beach,
Me-, from Miss Katharine Bingham.
Many plants of the ocean fora are
distinguished by their fieshy leaves
or woody stems, thus showing their
adaptation to the saline atmosphere
of the coast.
One addition has been made to the
local flora by the discovery of sta
ton for comfrey, which hasn't pre-
viously been recorded here.
The list since Sept. is: Common
comfrew, hemp, stiff gentian, swamp
beggar-ticks, garden orpine, fruit of
Jack-in-th -the-Pulpit, fruit of carrion
flower, fruit of Virgins bower, many
leaved aster, Sept. a; fruit of hop
fruit of red raspberry, Sept. 7.
The Nature study classes for the
public schools are to be resumed this
week. The September series of les
sons are timely and interesting, the
subjects of which are as follows
Grade 1, "a Little Brown Baby;
Grade 2, "a Green House With Gold
