ADDRESSING NAIL FOR
MILITARY PERSONNEL

Considerable amount of mail is
received at army camps bearing in
complete addresses, the senders in
many instances failing to include
in the address the full description
of the military unit to which the
addressee belongs.
Incompletely addressed matter
has to be turned over to the army
for the completion of the address
before such mail can be delivered.
This results in delay and in some
cases even failure to make delivery
which causes disappointment to the
addressee who of course is looking
forward with anticipation to receiv-
ing mail from friends and loved
ones.
In some instances the several
companies of regiment may be
stationed at from two to four diff
ferent locations and, therefore, it is
of great Importance that the ad-
dress show the particular unit with
which the addressee is connected.
Correctly addressed mail Of this
type will include the name and
rank of the addressee and the par
ticular unit to which he is assign
ed. All mail should bear in the up
per left corner of the address side
the return address of the writer.
Examples of correctly addressed
mail for military personnel at army |
camps, are as follows:
Captain Edward Smith, Signal |
Corps, 22nd Signal Company, Camp
Louisiana.
Sergeant Henry Green, Infantry,
Military Police Company, 1st Army,
Fort Benning, Georgia.
Private Robert Jones, Company
C, 199th Infantry, 9th Division,
Camp Shelby, Mississippi.
If you have friend in the army
drop him few lines, he will be
glad to hear from you. The air
mail rate anywhere in the United
States, including Alaska, New
'oundland and Canada, is 6 cents
IN ounce However, the air mail

PRUNING is AN AID IN
INSECT CONTROL

Many growers do not fully real
ize the possibilities of regular horti-
cultural pruning as an aid in the
general control of orchard pests, de-
clares C. r. Outright of the En-
tomology Department at the Ohio
Agricultural Experiment Station. A
dense, unpruned tree is difficult to
cover thoroughly with spray, and
since efficient control of many in
sects depends on thorough spraying,
the Importance of pruning is appar-
ent.
EntOmOlogists recommend that
standard methods of pruning an
proved by horticulturists be used in"
preparing the trees for spraying.
1t is not necessary to overprune to
secure tree that is open and can
be sprayed easily. In the early
years of growth, regular pruning
practices are recommended in shap-
ing the tree to assure a strong
framework with no more scaffold
branches than necessary. AS the
trees attain maturity, more atten-
tion is paid to detail pruning. This
operation is of great benefit, for it
makes it possible for spray to reach
and cover all parts of the tree
bark, foliage, and fruit.
No matter what the age of the
tree, it should never be pruned to
the extent of forcing watersprouts,
as these make the best feeding and
breeding places for many insect
nests

ONE TRUSTEE CANNOT HIRE
LABOR TO REPAIR ROAD

Dividing a township into three
road districts, each district to be
under the supervision Of one trus-
tee does not give each trustee au-
thority to hire labor to repair high
ways in his district
Such employment and purchase
of road materials may be made only
at properly called meeting of the
board of trustees by a majority
vote, Attorney General Thomas J.
Herbert said this week in an opin-
ion to J. Donald Kincaid, Mus
kingum county prosecutor
General funds of the township
cannot be used for road repair, but
the township can use gas tax for
this purpose. Roads can not be
widened or otherwise improved
with gas funds unless plans for it
have been approved by the county
engineer. Repairs can be made
with gas tax without the engineers
approval.
The fact trustee opposed road
repair in his district would not pre-
vent the other two trustees from
having the work done.

the mountains of difficulty will be
brought low.
v. 6. "And all flesh shall see the
salvation of God" The fact of
Christ and his mission is the best
known in all history.
v. Is. "And as the people were
in expectation, and all men unused
in their hearts of John, whether he
was the Christ or not; Johns plain,
pungent, practical preaching was
clear evidence that here was a man
of character Character determines
ones greatness.
V. 16. "John answered saying, I
indeed baptize you with water but
one mightier than l cometh, the
latchet Of whose shoes I am not
worthy to unloose; he shall bap-
tize you with the Holy Ghost and
fire." Jesus was mightier than John
in his power to achieve spiritual re-
suits in the hearts of men and in
his power to execute judgment. The
work of Christ offers spiritual
cleansing such as outward baptism
could merely typify. Fire is the
symbol of the Spirits operation "to
purify, illumine, transfer and in
fame with holy fervor and zeal"
V. II. "Whose fan is in his hand,
and he will thoroughly purge his
floor, and will gather his wheat in
his garner; but the chaff he will
burn with fire unquenchable." Here
is indicated Gods plan of judg-
ment; it will be fair but severe.
Men must not take lightly their re-
lations to God and man and live in
accordance with his will.
". 21. "Now when all the people
were baptized, it came to pass that
Jesus also being baptized, and
praying, the Heaven opened" BY
taking his place with other men and
submitting to this ordinance, Jesus
showed his approval of John and
his preaching Also his baptism
served as an impressive and solemn
induction into his ministry.
v. %. "And the Holy Ghost
descended in bodily shape like
dove upon him, and a voice came
from heaven, which said, Thou art
my beloved Son; in thee I am we'll
pleased" Here is Gods recogni-
ton of Jesus made SO clear that all
would understand it.

Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of

tetrach of Ituraea and of the reign
oof Prachonitis, and Lysanius the
tetrarch Of Abilene" The scrip
lures are trustworthy because facts
of history known to all men are
woven into the gospel.
v. 2. 'Annas and Caiaphas being
high priests, and word of God came
unto John the son of Zacharias as

division among the people so that
two high priests were recognized.

SPORTS SHOULD GO ON

Those members of congress Win,
have gone to bat in favor of con
! tinuing professional baseball durins
the war have the right idea. The
! United States does not need to elm
mate its favorite sports, nor any
| other major factor which helps tt
| build and maintain morale.
There is nothing which SO diverts
attention from the days troubles
and fears as good game in some
field of sport where interest is high
! and the action fast. Moreover, with
fewer automobiles available and
weekend migrations to nearby OF
far off haunts soon to be things of
the past, it is well that we shall
still be able to visit the local base
ball park, the football field or a
rousing boxing match. People must
have diversion if their nerves are
to Withstand the impact of wars
alarms and worries.
Mercer University, in Macon, Ca,
has announced suspension Of all its
leges while the war lasts. This
means that Mercer is going to be
rather gloomy place for it's 450 stu
dents who, with no sports diver
sions, will concentrate too serious
ly, perhaps, on the depressing
events of the day.
The professional baseball clubs
did the right thing, we believe, in
deciding to continue that sport,
even though the loss of star play
ers may reduce somewhat the cali
ber of the game. The big colleges
and universities so far have shown
no intention Of banning competitive
sports, and probably they will keep
those going.
They should, in all categories
The war will make some changes
necessary, of course, as was noted
over the year-end, when the tradi-
tional Rose Bowl football game of
west coast was transferred to Dur
ham, N. C. But that transfer was
better than calling the contest off.

are available athletes to furnish
