Branches and Offers Range
Of Choice

There are now eight branches of
army service that have been recently
opened for voluntary induction of men
of draft age according to notice that
emption board for this county. All
branches of service were closed some
time ago and it was impossible for
men subject to draft to voluntarily
enlist until this order was issued.
Under these new regulations men
who are registered in the draft can
apply to the local registration board
in the county where they are register
ed. for induction into the service that
they desire to enter. For those who
are not of draft age there are recruit
ing stations at many points in the
state where they can enlist in these
branches, or if they so desire. they can
find other branches that are now re-
c%eiving recruits.
The eight branches into which men
may be indicted are as follows, and
the location of the training camp 70
which they will be sent is also given:
Land division, signal corps, Fort Lea
venworth. Kans.: Mechanical depart
ment, medical officers training camp,
Fort Riley, Kas. Infantry, Camp Green

nal corps, (bricklayers only) Kelly
Field, Texas; Spruce production divi-
sion. aviation signal corps, Nancou-
Yer Barracks, Vancouver, Wash; En-
gineer corps, Vancouver Barracks,
Vancouver. Wash.
The length of time that these volun-
tary inductions will be open will be
limited and it would be well for those
desiring to get into a special branch
of the service to take advantage Of the
opportunity at once.

HOME BOY

The following letter from Jimmy
Shepard to r.. f.. Phelps, is of such in
terest TO all, We have been permitted
to publish this account of what he is
doing TO help win the war.
Dear Bob
In response to a call from the War
Department asking for chemists with
experience with N~itro-cellulose, |
Joined the inspection section of the
Ordinance Department.
| was sent to the f. |. DUPONT Pow
der Company's plant at Carney Point,
n. j., which by the way is the largest
powder plant in the world for the max
ing of smokeless powder. 1t struck me
then that there was something that
the people back in South Dakota could
work and industry represented in the
making of powder for our boys in the
trenches. Thousands of people are
employed there in hat huge plant,
laboring day and night III an attempt
to keep up with the demand for am
munition. 1t never occurred to me be
fore just how helpless our boys would
be without an organization of this
kind working under hardships and con-
of the concentration camps. The men
work under a shadow, as it were. never
knowing when some portion of the
plant may be blown to bits, carrying
with it all the human lives within.
Yet they work with a ong and buckle
into the task with a will, that the boys
may have the means of protecting
their country and their lives.
Now, when all thoughts are conferred
on the soldiers, little attention is paid
TO the men behind, who are really
making it possible for the boys TO
fight. Perhaps more attention is paid
to it here where the powder factories
and munition works are the life of the
community but back there in South
Dakota and the states where the di-
rect upkeep of the army is not be-
fore the people all the time, l think the
vast importance of this men behind
the army point, is crowded into the
back ground.
AS inspectors it is our duty to see
that the powder manufactured for the
U. S. A. is the best powder obtainable.
We see to it that the conditions of
manufacture are right; that the fin
ished product comes up to the proper
chemical requirements: that its physi-
cal condition is such that the best re-
suits will be obtained when it is shot
in the guns.
This requires much pains and hard
work, but We can't afford to see any
"bum" powder go out when it might
mean the destruction of a whole regi-
ment.

OUR STEAM LAUNDRY

A visit to the BrOokings Steam Laun-
dry since they have discarded the use
of coal and a boiler to produce steam
and hot water, is a revelation TO those
surroundings. The old coal smoke and
dust are gone and the place looks as
clean and e. as a pin. And Of course
the clothes around there look as II they
were getting a real washing.
The one drawback to a laundry here
has been the soft water question, and
now that the city is supplying hot
water and steam both for washing and
ironing, all the former troubles seem
to have gone. Where caustic soda had
been used to soften the water. clean
condensed steam takes the places.
Where the old boiler was fired up with
soft Goa to make steam for the iron
ing machines. the clean steam from
the city plant takes the place and does
the work. And when you eliminate
the d~iscouraging conditions around any
plant you are bound to get better re-
suits and better work.
1t is quite interesting to watch 4
shirt 90 through five different pro-
cesses in getting ironed, and il is not
the old fashioned push ironing, but the
new press ironing that makes wear
and tear almost impossible. Then while
the collar goes through eleven hand
lings to get stood up straight and
stiff you realize that there is less
chance for the edges to be frayed and
the button holes to be torn out. The
new manager, j. n. King, has had
twenty-five years experience in this
work and takes hold of it right. There
is nothing about the place he cannot
do. and do right. Such kind of man
agement tells in the work right from
the start. Just at present they are
making no bid for family work, but
expect to later. Mr.. Ellis is to be con-
graduated on the condition things are
now in, and on the competent man he
has finally been able to secure. The
work as seen by a reporter could not
be beaten at any city laundry. Now
that the water question has been
solved and the laundry is able to do
the right kind of work, it is hoped
that the people Of the city will give
Mr.. Ellis and Mr.. King their support.
We should be loyal to home industries
especially when they are delivering
the goods" in every way.

CHURCH FLAG RAISING

At the Presbyterian church last Sun
day evening a big service flag with
fifty-four stars was hung in the church
to indicate the number of persons in
some way connected with the church
who are now doing duty for Uncle
Sam. A splendid program was pre-
scented and patriotic and appropriate
music was rendered Miss A. Wilson
read an appropriate poem. Prof. f. f.
Brown made the address of the even
ing and c~aptivated the congregation
with his vivid portrayal of the duties
that now confront every true Ameri-
can. Rev. w. NJ. Mair made an adj
dress along lines connected with food
growing and conservation and the pas
tor Rev. w. A. Mast, made a few re-
marks. Prof, Hedge SANG a solo in his
usual pleasing manner The church
was filled to the doors and the congre-
cation seemed impressed with the
truth and seriousness of the situation
as presented by the speakers. There is
no doubt but what the services attend
ed upon the hanging Of that service
flag have made a deep impression on
the minds of the many who were there
and for some it will mean a newer and
better realization of their duty as true
citizens of our great republic.

STAT OF A

The state Of trade all over the coun
try reported by Bradstreet's this week
is quieter. Industry feels effects of
deranged transport, fuel scarcity and
weekly suspensions. Wholesale and
jobbing trade good, but crippled by
scarcity of goods, high prices and de-
layed shipments. Higher money ex-
pected as war loans impend. Specu-
lation slow due to the quieting Of
peace talk and growth Of price regu-
lation. January measures of move
ment show large clearings and few
failures despite storms, fuel shut
downs, and crippled railways. Build
ing smallest in ten years.

SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARkENS GRAY HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
Restore Color, Gloss
and AttraCtiveness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or
gray. Years ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make it at home, which
is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by
asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will
get a large bottle of this famous old
recipe. improved by the addition of other
ingredients, for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No ono
can possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at q
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire dark hair and youthful aP-
pearance. 1t is not intended for the cure,
mitigation OF prevention Of disease.
