DID LEARN SOMETHING

The stubborn optimist had declared that there was no one from whom he could not learn something.
 We disputed him and had plotted to heap confusion upon his head by shutting him in with the village bore, who never knew anything for use.
 After two hours with the V. B., the S. O. emerged pale, but smiling.
 Did you learn anything from him ?" we gloated.
 "Yes," replied the optimist bravely. T learned what an awful thing it is to be a person from whom no one can learn anything"

The United States army is conduct ing a recruiting campaign for the pur- pose of securing men to maintain the efficiency of the army where those needed at home are relieved.
 In this connection the U. S. army is conducting a special campaign in this part of the state, through it's de- tachment stationed at Jerome, and a party will be in Flagstaff in the near future. They will accept for enlist ment, men who desire to serve in the 18th U. s. Infantry, in the Philippine Islands, Panama, Hawaii, and the American Expeditionary Forces in Flu rope and Siberia.
 Young men who take advantage of the opportunity for enlistment now offered by the Nineteenth Infantry will have the honor of belonging to a and proudest records of any in the United States army.
 Only American citizens not less than eighteen years of age and not more than forty years are eligible and the term of enlistment is three years, save that men who have had previous army service may enlist for either one or three years.
 It is understood that there will be no delay in the examination and other necessary formalities and that re- cruits will be inducted into the serv- ice at once after passing the physical and other tests prescribed by the rules and regulations of the regular army. 
 A Proud History
 The history of the 18th Infantry reaches back to the war of 1872. On June 12 of that year, congress author ized the formation of several new regiments and it was then that the Nineteenth, a regiment destined to be- come known and remembered for its glorious deeds, was born.
 During this war the regiment form- ed part of the forces under General Winfield Scott and took part in the at- tack on the Island of Mackinac and also participated in the battles of Mi agara and Fort Erie.
 At the end of this war, the regiment became part of the sleeping forces" of the nation, being consolidated with other regiments, and it was not until the Civil War broke out that it was again organized as separate unit.
 Civil War Record
 Through the four long years of the great struggle between the North and the South, the Nineteenth served with great distinction and took part in very many of the severest battles of the war.
 At Shiloh, South Mountain, Antie- tam, Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, Keneswa Mountain, Neal Dow Station, Peach Tree Creek and many minor engagements, the Nineteenth showed their mettle and

THE REASON

Do you get plenty of sleep?" said the visitor to small Edward.
 "Yes, ma'am," he answered "Mama puts me to bed every night at eight o'clock"
 "To keep you healthy?" he was asked.
 "No, ma'am," was the reply. "It's so she can mend my clothes"

Bread Without Wheat Flour.

The New York Herald announces
that New York chef has "wonder
recipe for making bread without
wheat -four" Jean Ricroch, chef OF
the Biltncre hotel, is responsible for
the recipe and he now gives it to the
country, without money and without
price. Mr.. Ricroch told Herald re-
porter the ingredients Of the new bread
are as follows: twenty-five pounds
of rye -four. 25 pounds Of graham -four.
% pounds Of corn flour. % pounds Of
crushed oatmeal. I pound OF lard and
. pounds Of yeast This, 1t is ex-
planned. is enough to make 80 pounds
Of bread. The yeast and rye -four
should be mixed first and the others
added alternately. Smaller quantities
of bread can be made by using smaller
proportions. The receipt doubtless Is
a good one. but 1t does not provide for
bread without wheat -four. Graham
-four Is unbolted wheat -four. So,
while the bread is wheat saver, 1t
does not do away entirely with the use
Of that grain.

Favors Law for Benefit Of Working
Warehouses; Arbitration,

Washington. Jan. with Samuel
Gompers. president of the American
Federation of Labor. as the first wit
ness. hearing were begun in the in
vestigation by the senate education and
labor committee for the purpose of rec
ommending legislation TO bring abou,
better social and industrial conditions
Mr.. Gompers said any attempt by
law to prevent labor strikes would be
futile. He condemned legislation for
compulsory arbitration as an agency tc
compel workers to remain at their tasks
and asserted labor had prevented any
considerable legislation by the states
looking toward this end.
The sudden transition from a war tc
peace basis in industry fnay result
he said. in hardships to working peo.
pie this winter, adding that many
workers in munition factories and
wooden ship plants had been thrown
out OF employment.
He believed the army should be de-
modified as quickly as possible. but
not SO speedily as to put soldiers into
competition for the jobs held by mer
and women in the industries while they
were in the military service.
Labor will not take kindly to a
bread line" this winter after endur-
ing hardships and sacrifices of war,
Mr.. Gompers said. when congress could
help solve the problem.
AS substitute for compulsory ar
filtration he proposed system Of con-
Citation and mediation.

tending the provisions of the soldiers
