DELUGED WITH APPLICANTS
FOR AVIATION CADET
TRAINING

A landslide of applications for
army aviation cadet training under
simplified requirements has forced
temporary modification of the i'm
mediate enlistment plan and renew
al of waiting list" Although
training facilities already have been
greatly expanded, they have been
temporarily overloaded by the
tremendous" nationwide re-
@onse, officials say.
They pointed out that the new
plan would not prevent any quail
fed youth from taking cadet train
ing but would result only in mo-
mentary delay. Applications will
continue to be received at all army
recruiting stations and will be pro-
cessed just as rapidly as possible.
Successful candidates will be plae-
ed on a waiting list Then they
will be called for enlistment and
sent to air training stations as va
cancies occur.
Candidates must be at least Is
years old and not yet 27 and may
be either single or married. A SIM
pie aptitude or intelligence test has
been substituted for former high
school and college requirements.

FINE LETTER FROM
SOLDIER BOY

Dear Editor:-Again there will
be new group of men in the
training center. The 5000 have
graduated and new group of Sc
ectees, even greater in number,
will soon inhabit these barracks.
Men who made good showing in
their training period are kept as in
structors for the next training pc
riod of Is weeks. At first they are
given ''acting corporal" ratings
with no increase in pay. Their
rating as corporal comes through
when an opening appears and the
men have shown their ability.
Men leaving this time are the
first ones I have helped train. Their
destination, naturally. is of much
interest to me. Texas and Missouri
are the places where they will. be
stationed l would choose Okla
homa for mine if 1 had the choice
of the three states.
1 will not be an instructor in this
battery again. I am to attend the
Field Artillery School in the near
future. At the present I am rest
ing with very little to do. School
is always very strenuous SO I await
it anxiously. AS you know, time
flies when one is busy.
I spent a week end in the great
Oklahoma City, where oil wells are
located in back yards, all over the
city. It Is a new, clean, city, and
changes all other impressions OF
Oklahoma as a state. Soldiers are
treated very well there. Reduc
tions are made at all theatres for
enlisted men. A beautiful U. S. o
club building is being built in the
city where all soldiers can go tor
recreation and entertainment. NY
pass started on Friday afternoor
and was good until Monday morn
ing. While we were gone, orders
came down from headquarters MAX
ing the army week six day week
instead of five and a half. It's 3
good thing we went last week end!

NEW LICENSE-NEW LAWS

Many fishermen have been con-
fused as to the 1912 licenses and
laws and have thought that no new
license was necessary until March
]. However, license to fish this
year has been necessary since Jan.
l. This years licenses, however,
will be good until March 1, 1913.
The conservation commission
changed the license expiration dates
to coincide with new hunting and
fishing law digests and announced
that the 1941 hunting licenses
would be good until Sept. /, 1912,
and that the license year thereafter
would begin on that date. That
same thing was done for the fishing
license in principle except the
changeover begins in 1943.
So, if you want to go ice fishing
this winter, you must have a 1912
license. License dealers have these
now and new 1912 fishing law
digests will be mailed to dealers
next week.
other points to remember:
License badges must be display
ed on outer garments while fishing
Taking of bait at night is prohibit
ed between the hours CT 9 p. ~
and 4 a. m., except that crawfiSh
may be picked by hand at night. If
a nonresident takes minnows or
crawfish in Ohio he needs a nom
resident license. Only carp, Sleeps
head. carpsuckers and suckers
caught by angling may be sold in
Ohio
The League of Ohio Sportsmen
will hold it's annual convention
Feb 7 and at the Deshler-Wa
lick hotel, Columbus. Governor
will be one of the speakers.

Lesson .ArMs!..0 ~. b

A Busy Sabbath In Capernaum,
Mark 1:21-34, for Sunday, Feb. 8:
Our lesson tells of busy Sab
bath which Christ spent in Caper-
naum. What he did on that par
ticular day was doubtless a sample
of his activities on many Sabbath
days.
". 81. "And they went into Ca
pernaum; and straightway on the
Sabbath day he entered into the
synagogue. and taught" 1t was
Jesus custom to attend the Sab
bath services of worship; this is
also the custom of his true follow
ers. Jesus placed much emphasis
on teaching. The teaching service
and the preaching service together
constitutes the Christian church.
". %. ''And they were astonish-
ed at his doctrine; for he taught
them as one having authority, and
not as the scribes.' The astonisn-
ment resulted from the content of
the message and the manner in
which it was delivered. He was so
positive in what he said that his
message carried the stamp of au-
thority on it.
VS.. %, "a. ''.And there was in
their synagogue a man with an un-
clean spirit, and he cried out, say
ing, Let US alone; what have we to
do with thee, thou. Jesus of Nazar-
eth? Art thou come to destroy us?
/ know thee, who thou art, the Holy
One of God" There is no fellow
ship between Christ and those hav-
ing unclean spirits; however. C:rist
and his work is quickly seen by the
wicked; there is in every man a
sense of right and wrong, but it
takes a touch of the Christ to bring
out the right and good.
v. Is. "And Jesus rebuked him,
saving, Hold thy peace, and come
out of him." Jesus longs for wit
nesses, but he does not welcome
the witnessing of evil ones; there
must be first clean life and then
the witnessing has value.
v. 26. "And when the unclean
spirit had torn him, and cried with
a loud voice, he came out of him"
Evil forces stubbornly resist all ef-
forts to be put out of the lives OF
men. Sometimes the objection to
the work of God is expressed in vo-
ciferous demonstrations.
v. 27. "And they were all amaz-
ed. inasmuch that they questioned
among themselves saying, What
thing is this What new doctrine
il this For with authority COM
manded he even the unclean spirits
and they do obey him." The uni
versal question is, what is this?

Horace Greeley Distilled
Being Disillusioned

Horace Greeley, famous editor
of the old New York Tribune, was
VIGOROUSLY absent-minded. While
he was at work at his desk, a wa
ter pipe might spring leak over
his head and drip down on him
for hours without his being in the
least aware of it.
One cold Sunday morning, Mr..
Greeley stepped into the Tribune
office after church. Taking off his
boots, he sat down before one of
the hot-air registers to warm his
feet and read the papers.
After a while the janitor hap
pened by and, seeing the boss
there, exclaimed: "There's no
heat coming up from downstairs,
Mr.. Greeley. The boiler is being
fixed"
The editor glowered at the man.
'sYou FOOL" he yelled. "What did
you want to tell me that for? I
was just getting nice and warm!"

in trouble had stood inseparably side
by side. Clay Morgan said: "Noth-

Hillhouse shrugged his shoulders:
''They been arguing about it since
noon. I don't see nothin' to argue
about. We caught Ollie dead in his
tracks, bendin' over Three Pines

couple townsmen on the jury.

Hack Breathitt grinned: "Ben
Herendeen's sore enough to shoot
the jury" He gave Charley Hill
house slanting, skeptic glance.
"Your boss is gettin' pretty large
for his pants, Charley. But then he
always was that way"
Ben Herendeen owned Three
Pines, and Charley Hillhouse was
Herendeen's foreman, loyal to the
core. Hillhouse said in a mild voice:
eff they don't throw Ollie Jacks
in the cooler there amt no use
for any juries in this country.
cater all, Hack, it was Ben's
beef"
They moved toward the Long
Grade saloon, three abreast. Direct
ly opposite, under the locust trees,
Clay noticed the crowd grouped
around Ben Herendeen-Gurd Grant
and Lige White, both big cattlemen,
and Sheriff Ed Nickum, and a few
smaller ranchers like Hamp Brig
ham and Vance Ketchell. Heren-
deems riders, with few townsmen,
made up the rest of the crowd.
Hack Breathitt got bottle, two
glasses, and bunch of cigars. They
went to corner table and sat down.
Hack Breathitt passed the cigars
to Morgan, poured drink for Hill
house and for himself and settled
deep in the chair. For that little
interval he was as relaxed as he
could ever be, still smiling little,
still with the sparkle of secret
amusement in his eyes. He said,
''To law and ORDER" and downed
the drink.
"You," said Hillhouse tolerantly,

murmured Hack. ''There's one hell

sheep and the goats. Accordin' to
Ben Herendeen I'm one of the goats.
Ben's about ready to work on the
goats"
Charley Hillhouse, who was a
quiet workhorse of man, slowly
nodded.
Breathitt started to speak but was
stopped by quick-rising talk on the
street. A man struck the swinging
doors of the saloon with both fists
and rushed in. He said, in half
shout, "They let Ollie Jacks free,"
and ran out. The conversation in
the saloon rose at once to noisy
pitch.
Hack Breathitt grinned. "I'd like
to see Ben Herendeen's face right
now"
Charley Hillhouse answered irrita-
bly,. IF it was your beef, Hack, you

He poured himself second drink.
