TRACTOR ENGINEERING
 IvOW TAUGHT IN ARMY TANK CORPS SCHOOLS

The young man who is anxious to become a skilled caterpillar engineer can find no better opportunity than that offered by the tank corps of the United States army. By enlisting in this branch of the service he will be- come familiar with the construction and handling of these powerful motors, as he will be enabled to attend the tank school at Camp Meade. Maryland where the theory and practice in every detail of handling and repairing these mammoth tractors is taught. At the conclusion of this course of instruction the soldier is given certificate of qualifications which means that he is expert in every phase of motor con- struction This certificate is given a preference by many large manufac- turers in employing skilled mechanics and the Holt Manufacturing company, which made some Of the most powerful tanks used on the French front and now is producing the largest cater pillar tractors for commercial and farm use, is anxious to secure men who have passed successfully through the army schools.
 The tank corps headquarters are at Camp Meade, Maryland. where it's great schools and shops are located. but tank companies are stationed at various points in the United States such as Camp Taylor, Ky. Camp Benning, Ga. Camp Funston, Kan, and Camp Grant, III.
 The local recruiting sergeant can tell 1 all about the tank corps. Call at the recruiting office and ask him about the three year. enlistment with the raise in pay and the $90 bonus. If you want i to learn a good trade the army will give you the opportunity.

I. \. R|ORDAN NOT IN STATE SENATE
 RACE IN COCONNO

Someone without authority entered Hon. T. 4. Riordan of Flagstaff in the contest for the democratic nomination for state senator from Coconino. The announcement was printed in The Re- publican and some wonder was ex- pressed at the time that MT. Riordan had decided to go in for office He mas always resolutely set his lace against that sort of thing. The only position he has held was that of food admins trator for this state under the Hoover regime. He took that place at the ex- pense of his extensive private affalrs because he believed he could be or ser vice to the country.
 In denial of his candidacy for the legislature The Republican yesterday received the following from Mir. Rior- dan:
 Flagstaff. Ariz.. July ', 1920 Editor Arizona Republican,
 Phoenix, Arizona. Dear Sir:
 My attention has just been called to the announcement in your issue or August 6 that I amsto be a candidate for the state senate from Coconino county.
 This is the first I have heard of my candidacy for this or any other po- litical office--and I hope the last. It really is "too sudden" Your informant after trying out his latest recipe-some of them have that effect.
 The senatorial track in Coconino county is perfectly free so far as I am concerned. This is my first and final announcement.
 Yours very truly,
 T. A. RIoRDAN.

New York, Aug. S.-Dr. Tanner com pleted his 4o-day fast today at noon. He not once complained of a goneness of the stomach. At 12 o'clock he was given milk and a piece af watermelon. He remained in his room until 10:15 p. m. when he went into the lower hall. After a walk he lay down and was covered up with blankets. At 10:50 he arose and walked into the front room of the hall. where there was a fine spread of watermelons, fruit and bread. On leaving the hall the doctor walked unassisted down the stairs with a slice of watermelon in his hand. He re- ceived an ovation from the crowd in the street.

If those who have had the language in their keeping had been of the narrowness we would now speaking and writing in the outandsh tongue Chaucer We will confess that some of the reforms in the language. made by the inventors of slang radical. much that it is difficult to grasp the meanings of the new words and conlbina- tions of words We have sometimes thought that slower pace ought to be set by those reformers in order that those of who in sympathy with the progressive movement may keep up with them.
 For instance Not long ago we were entertaining a European royal couple. In the of tour of the country they were given reception befitting their high the large eastern cities and the duty of the mayor officiate In that office he assisted by his wife In the course of his remarks the king said:
 T readily imagine that the diversified duties of administrations of great modern, commercial metropolis, such yours, MT. Mayor are at once critical. and compelling involving. feel sure, a greater degree capacity and adaptabity to cir cumstances than the merely perfunctory exercise of prerogatives such my station requires"
 We do not know whether the mayor knew what the king driving at in other words, whether "got him." but he must have surmised that royalty tried compliment him. Surely the king would assault him with opprobrious words of which he did not know the meaning.
 The queen sitting next the mayoress felt that she must follow the pace by her royal husband and turning to her she said in this wise:
 And that while the official and execu tive duties of the mayor may the more onerous and responsible, in reality, the and com plexty os social duties required of the mayors wife demand a finesse and savoir faire which at tanable only by insstent utmost devotion her exalted position"
 The mayoress touched almost to tears by the quick and sympathetic appreciation of her deli cate position gazing straight the her royll highness she replied fervently:
 Queen. you said a chinful"
 Perhaps the queen did not "tumble;" she might the more readily have understood if the mayoress had followed the accepted express sion, you said a mouthfuL" But doubt the queen later learned grasp significance that appre ciative expression and she will forget she probably would if the reply had been more conventional.
