MANY COMMISSIONS FROM
RANKS WON BY INDUCTEES

Approximately so percent Of the
graduates from the Officer Candid
ate Schools up to June 80, 1912
We're men ipducted into the Army
through Selective Service, according
to information received by National
Headquarters from the War Depart
ment. On that date there had been
1871 graduates, of whom 10, 81 s
had entered the Army as selectees.
This large percentage of selectees
among the men commissioned from
the ranks is regarded by National
Headquarters as tribute to the
good judgment displayed by Select
i've Service local boards.
Candidates for Officer Candidate
Schools are selected for such
training on the basis Of ''outstanding
qualities of leadership as demon
strated by actual service in the
Army" These candidates are men
who have completed the minimum
basic training period of three months
at Replacement Training Centers
and are recommended as officer
candidates by their commanding
officers. If the examining board
finds them acceptable, they are
sent to an Officer Candidate School.
Graduates of these schools are COM
missioned as second lieutenants in
the Army of the United States.
While the selectees who had been
graduated up to June 80 did not in
clude Selective Service registrants
with dependents who volunteered to
compete for selection as officer can
didates because the order permitting
them to do so did not become effect
i've until last April, many of these
volunteers will be included in the
graduations next fall. Besides a
minimum of three months basic
training in the ranks before a
candidate is eligible for officer
training, at least three months in
training school is required for grad
uation.
Under the Volunteer Officer Can
didate program, the monthly quota
for the entire United States now is
5000 apportioned among the nine
Corps Areas in proportion to the
number of eligible Glass III-A regis
trants in the States comprising the
Corps Areas. These quotas per
month for each Corps Area are:
First: 1S0; second, 420: third, $50;
fourth, 470; fifth, $40; sixth, $50;
seventh, $50; eighth, $50; and
ninth $50

LET THEM COME

Americans should not be discour-
aged nor feel that we are being
licked. The fact that the Japs have
foothold on the Aleutian Islands
is a serious matter but were the
Japs to remain On their side of the
world-west of the 1S0th meridian
we would be at disadvantage.
Were they to remain in the Far East
it would be extremely difficult for
our forces to get at them due to the
tremendous distances across the
Pacific. Since Pearl Harbor, plane
for plane and ship for ship, Amer
leans have demonstrated they can
take care of the Japs. Our cruisers,
destroyers and aircraft have been
better handled and have proved
themselves sturdier and more eff
cient. Our gunners fire faster and
their arm is better. You will soon
read of more fighting in Alaska and
the Aleutians.-Stephen M. Young,

THE BETTER WAY

From General MacArthur's head

General Macarthur, an Episco-
palian, a native of Little Rock, Ar
kansas, received this message from
w. P. Witsell, director of Little
Rocks Christ Church: s'The Church
Of your baptism sends Easter greet
ing and an expression Of faith and
loving pride in you."
Macarthur replied. rat the altar

Jacobs vision of God, Genesis
28:10-22, for Sunday, August %.
Jacob had received hard jolt
when his brother Esau sought TO
kill him as soon as their father
died, for taking away his birth
when one night, out in the open
with no good bed, with no mother
near, with gnawing conscience, he
turned his thoughts heavenward
and had a vision in which God re-
vealed his presence.
V. 10, II. And Jacob went out
from Beersheba and went toward
Haran, and he lighted upon GER
tain place, and tarried there all
night, because the sun was set; and
he took of the stones of that place
and put them for his pillows, and
lay down in that place to sleep" A
fugitive lonely, homesick, comforts
lost, no voices from those he loved,
with disturbed conscience, MEM
ory recalling facts of God, Jacob
Obeyed the call of nature, and so lay
down to sleep with stones for a pill
low and the hard earth for his bed.
V. IL. "And he dreamed, and be-
hold ladder set up on earth, and
the top of it reached to heaven;
and behold the angels of God as
cending and descending on it,"
Likely the contour of the hillside
consisted of strata of limestone
which started the suggestion of a
way to God as if reaching him by
ladder. In the extremity of lone
linessand sorrow we are prone to
look to God.
V. .13. "And, behold, the Lord stood
above it, and said, am the Lord
of Abraham thy father, and the God
of Isaac; the land whereon thou
liest, to thee l will give it, and to
thy seed" God spoke in such a
way that Jacob knew it was he that
was speaking. God speaks in the
message the soul needs. One of
Gods opportunities is our utter
helplessness, and the need of for
giveness; it is then we welcome the
voice of one who loves us.
v. IA. "And thy seed shall be
as the dust of the earth, and thou
shalt spread abroad to the west,
and to the north, and to the south;
and in thee and in thy seed shall
all the families of the earth be
blessed Gods promise made in
the past that there should be a
race of people, great in number,
furnishing the means by which God
could reveal himself to man to the
end that men should be blessings to
one another, is now again assured.
God wants us to believe his prom
ises today and act on them; it is
then that the promised blessing

GAS COMPANY IN CAMPAIGN
TO SELL WAR BONDS

The enlistment of all employees
of the Ohio Fuel Gas company in
an all-out campaign to sell United
States war bonds, was announced
today by G. H. Campbell, district
manager of the company. The local
office and all other Offices of the
company have been authorized by
the U. S. Treasury Department to
issue series E war bonds, and ap-
plication for the purchase of these
bonds may be made through any
employee of the company.
in making the announcement Mr.
Campbell pointed out the two-fold
job of the dollars invested in war
bonds. First, they provide funds to
build planes, tanks, ships, guns,
and other war materials for the
armed forces. And, second, they
build savings for the future.
Dollars put into war bonds are
double duty dollars, Mr.. Campbell
said. 'It's of utmost Importance
that every dollar possible be invest
ed in the war program to provide
arms for our fighting forces. On
the other hand, everyone can cer-
tainly use the nest egg after the
war which investment in war bonds
now will provide. We are proud to
be selected by the United States
Treasury Department to aid in the
nationwide drive to sell war
bonds"
The war bond campaign is being
supported by newspapers and other
promotional materials. A definite
quota has been assigned to this
community. 1t was further stress
ed that all war bonds purchased
through Gas company employees or
in the Gas company office will be
credited to the Morgan county war
bond committee.

will be in evidence.
V. Is. "And, behold, I am with
thee, and will keep thee in all
places whittier thou guest, and will
bring thee again into this land; for
| will not leave thee, until l have
done that which I have spoken
thee Of The Lord made five prom
ises to Jacob; namely, divine COM
panionship, protection, sustenance,
favor, and salvation. What more
can any one want?
V. 16. "And Jacob awaked out
of his sleep and he said, Surely the
Lord is in this place; and l knew it
not" Jacob found God. When
we find God we find life in it's best
and highest aspect. God reveals
himself in most unlikely places !;
this revelation was made because
the mind and heart of Jacob was
right. To be right with God is
our supreme duty.
V. Z. And he was afraid and
said, How dreadful is this place!
This is none other than the house
of God, and this is the gate to
heaven" To be conscious of God s
presence is awe-inspiring. We need
to take God very seriously.
V. IS. "And Jacob rose early in
the morning, and took the stone
that he had put for his pillows, and
set it up for pillar, and poured
oil on the top of it, To make and
keep places sacred where God had
revealed himself is an aid to spirit
ual life.
V. 20. ''And Jacob vowed a vow,
saying, If God will be with me, and
will keep me in this way that l go,
and will give me bread to eat, and
raiment to put on, so that 1 come
again to my fathers house in peace;
then shall the Lord be my God"
Since Jacob was an immature child
of God, he raised a question think
ing first of material things. But
he had the qualities of a great and
good man; therefore, God was pa
tient with him.
V. %. "And this stone which /
have set for pillar, shall be Gods
house; and of all that thou shalt
give me l will surely give the tenth
unto thee" Jacob would prove his
faith by his works.

GROWING MEDICINES

Some so countries from which we
imported drugs are now cut OF
from us, and so is 55 percent of our
drug needs. Out of $50 kinds of
roots, barks, leaves, berries, seeds,

South America is depended on to
replace the Orient in furnishing GER
tain drugs, particularly cinchona
bark for quinine. (There is also a
synthetic substitute for quinine
made in America, but it is covered
by q German patent and requires
medical supervision in administra-
tom. From Latin America may
also come enough camomile flowers
for our hair tonic and rinsing
needs; also rotenone and pyre-
thrum for insecticides. Because in
secticides are scarce, while we war

The botanical drug trade feels
that with careful study and hard
work this country and South Amer
lea will be able to supply most OF
the materials formerly brought
across the oceans. Greatest diff
Guilty, it seems, lies in producing es-
sential oils and certain gums, like
the tragacanth from Persia, arabic
from the Sudan, karaya from In
dia, and benzoin from the Dutch
East Indies.
The problem is largely one of la
Dor, which prevented America from
competing with European and
Asiatic countries in pre-war years,
not only in drug plants, but in As
other plants used in industry, such
as in favoring distilling, paints and
cosmetics. With home production
they will come at higher price.
G. L. Wittock, of the New York
Botanical Garden, pointed out that
the North American Indians used
1900 kinds of medicinal herbs, OF
which Is are in common use today.
He suggests that we give Indian
herbs real trial.-Pathfinder
