:" JOE' GARCIA GETS LETTER OF THANKS
 FROM ZEN. PERSR|NC

The Republican feels that it has been brought into intimate relations with the world war assuming that the war is still in progress so long as the peace treaty has not been signed and the American armies remain in France, m the occupation of Germany or in Russia fighting the bolsheviki. The Republican owes it's partnership in the great world struggle to Jose Garcia, the devil and factotum of the job print ing department of this. office, who has figured before in these columns
 Jose, as has been mentioned, is his Sabbath and feast day name. On other days he is called Joe, a youth Of IS or thereabouts. He is pretty busily em- ployed, but there could be no job for Joe so exacting as to keep him from thinking of other things to do, more or less dissociated from the business at hand.
 Some weeks. ago Joe having read of the censorship which interrupted free communications between France and this country with the result that while we did not know exactly what was go- ing on in France, neither did the people over there quite understand what was happening here. If it would be possible to get file of The Republican over there, covering a period of, say, a week. Joe figured that it would result in great enlightenment.
 Accordingly he made up a bundle of Republicans and directed it to General Pershing, Somewhere in France" For the first time, the general was about to De put into the way of finding out how the American public felt about it.
 There is a good deal of complaint about the character of the overseas ulail service. In the opinion of Joe this criticism is not we'll founded His own experience is that the service is very prompt and reliable, for yesterday ne received from General Pershing a letter of acknowledgment of the re- celpt Of the bundle of Republicans. The letter was not written by the general himself, but at his direction, presum ably because of a sore arm caused by delivering short arm jabs at the Boches The following is a copy of the mili- .ary correspondence between General Fershlng and Jose Garcia, civilian:
 "Personal
 American Expedtionary Forces Office of the Commander-i Chief France, March 5, 1919.
 MT. Joe Garcia,
 Arizona Republican,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Dear Sir:
 General Pershing has received the copies of the newspaper which you so kindly sent him, and directs me to express to you his apprecia- ton of your courtesy.
 Believe me,
 Sincerely yours,
 "J. c. HUGHES"
 Captain, Inf, A. D. C." Civilian Joe Garcia being unfamiliar Wlth the procedure in military corre spondence. is uncertain as to his next step whether to acknowledge the re- celpt or the generals letter or to as suhe that the correspondence has closed lie is thinking though of a compromise to be effected by sending another bundle of papers.

30 PER CENT OF HUMANITY
 llLlTERATE

(From The Call of a World Task"
 by J. Lowell Murray, Student Vol
 unteer Movement)
 The non Christian world is ignorant and illiterate. It makes up the great bulk of the 80 per cent of humanity that can neither read nor white. Ac- cording to the latest census reports, 94 per cent in India are illiterate. In China an even larger percentage are illiterate. In Latin America the illit- eracy ranges from 40 per cent to over 30 per cent In Moslem lands Doctor Zwemer estimates that with the ex- ception of Turkey, from 75 to 90 per cent are not literate while in pagan Africa, apart from the influence of the mission schools, the people do not even know that writing has ever been in- vented

EELS GROWING MORE POPULAR
(From New Yorw Times


 : Eels as a palatable food, according to fish dealers, are more popular, much of the prejudice against them having disappeared. There is now a wide demand for them.
 "Eels, which are true fishes. pene- trate to almost every little muddy pond or stream in the interior of the cosn- try, but breed nevertheless only in the deep sea- says John Treadweil Mich ols, assistant curator of the depart ment of ichthyology of the American Museum of Natural History. The presence of eels in land locked ponds far removed from the sea makes it difficult to believe that they have not originated in fresh water It is how ever, quite impossible that they should do so, for at least one obvious reason the peculiar young or larve, adapted to life near the surface of the open ocean, could not survive elsewhere. Eels commonly work their way up into the very smallest streams and travel as easily, it seems, through mud as they would through water. They are even said at times to be met journeying overland through wet grass; and the probabilities are that they do this not infrequently at night as they are generally very active at that time.
 Before being cooked the eeIs have to be skinned. The skin is exceeding ly tough, and eel skins are often used for purposes where rope wears out too quickly. The classic way to cook eels IS to cut them in lengths and fry in butter. Many persons find them ex- ceedingly delicious. But the meat is very rich, and cooked in this way too rich for some people.
 Comparatively few persons are fa- miliar with eel stew. For this the eel should be cut into short lengths, as for frying, boiled until soft, parsley. pepper, salt and butter to taste added. and the gravy thickened with either milk or flour"

Weekdays bond was placed at s100, which he did not furnish.
 The girl stated that she was seated at the table with Welday, and when she returned after a dance she missed a $10 bill from her purse, which she had left on the table near Welday.
 Welday, she said, when charged by her over the telephone of the theft, offered to return the amount to her and set a place of meeting. Marie took an officer with her, but when Harry saw the policeman approaching he fled. The next day he was arrested

GROWN UP NOW, DEER URNEDOVER TOsTATE

Joe Prochaska, state game warden, has another deer on his hands. It came down from Flagstaff while he was absent on business last week and was duly domiciled at the state fair grounds.
 The deer is of the blacktail variety, a three prong buck, and was shipped down by F. E. Brooks of Flagstaff, Tn whose family it has long been a pet, while it has always, of course, been state property. Brooks reason for sending it down was that the buck was becoming vicious.
 Prochaska is not sure what he will ultimately do with the animal, but it is understood he is thinking of pre- senting it to W. A. Moeur, state land commissioner, who has a blacktail doe at his place in Tempe.
