. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 14, 1917 ASSICNMENTS OF [BoE-ce THOSE IN DRAFT Army Officers fo Make Best Possible Use of Men. T0 ORGANIZE SPEGIAL UNITS — Will Be Based on Civilian Training of 8oldiers — Presumably First Incre- ments to Reach Camps Will Be Or- ganized as Infantry Companies—De- scriptive Lists of All Drafted Men te Be Made Out. Army officers who will organize the mational army divisions face the task «of making the best possible use of the men selected for military duty by the local boards. They will come from all walks and conditions of life. Among them will be highly trained individuals, specialists in particular lines and effi- cient mechanics. It is the intention of the war department to get the max- imum advantage for the nation out of <ach man’s special qualifications, and ‘hig previous occupation will be careful- ly considered in assigning him to duty. To accomplish this, it was painted out, descriptive lists of all drafted men will be made out as soon as they reach the tralning cantonments. They will «contain an abstract of the life history .of the soldier, showing what occupa- tions he has been engaged in. From these a preliminary classification can be made, subject always ‘to ‘the 'pri- ary necessity of organizing a great body of infantry for duty in the trenches. Qualification For Assignments. During the months of training at the <cantonments it will be possible for com- pany commanders to form estimates of the character and special qualifications ©of their men. A process of shifting and transfer undoubtedly will ensue as in- dividuals are sorted out, One man will be assigned to transport trains because of his special knowledge of horses or motor trucks, another to hospital work because of his previous training in that Mne of work, another to aviation be- cause he has worked with gas engines, still another to the artillery because he shows special ability in that line or his civil occupation has trained bis sight and hands. There is hardly a civil trade or occupation that has not its counterpart in the army, from clerk to <clergyman, and no effort will be spared %o get the right man in the right place in the new forces. Already officials are being besieged with requests from men already held for miflitary duty for assignment to particular arms of the service. Little <an be done in that regard in advance of actual mobilization of the forces, but it is hoped that the wishes of many of the men can be met at the camps. Presumably the first increments to reach camp will be organized as in- fantry companies. That was the prac- tice followed in the officers’ training camps which have just completed one <ourse. The basis of all military evo- lutions is the school of the soldier, and that must be taught first. In addition, 1t makes possible a hardening process which will make the men physically able to meet the strain of the strenuous <days to come. To Organize Special Units. After some weeks of elementary drill the organization of signal, engi- neer, artillery and other special units will commence. The process of selec- tion by special qualifications will be ap- plied to the greatest possible extent. At the same time the officers will be- .gin to get a line on rnen who are likely <candidates for future commissions, and they. will be observed carefully with a wview to promotion later. Around the war department evi- dences of the great army that is in the making are beginning to show. Nu- merous officers of the regular army al- ready have been given war time com- missions in the national army. Some have gone up one grade in the process. some two. They are to be the staff offi- cers of the new divisions, the inner cir- cle of the training machinery. At the same time, officers just graduated from the training camps are being assigned to regiments of the new army The whole process of building up the com- missioned personnel will be well under way by the time the first 30 per cent of the drafted forces starts for camp. HARVARD STUDIES VOICE. All Cambridge Learns Value of Cul- tured Speech. Nearly everf®one in Cambridge, from President Lowell of Haryard to the street venders, is contemplating taking lessons in voice culture. That's be- canse the word has gone forth that “a wvell trained voice is the most powerful and subtle attribute in man or wo- man.” This is the opinion of Miss Dag- mer Perki who is stirring the Har- vard University Summer school with fer lectures on the “development of the personality through the voice.” Miss Perkins is declated to be the first woman to speak on such a sub- ject. and she is, in fact, regarded as a pioneer in the field “The voice.” she sars, “is one of the most potent factors in the development of personality. There is a refinement of speech more indicative of character than either dress or gesture. A clear, quiet. cultured veice instantly com- mands attention and respect whether heard in the club, in the ofiice or in the iecture ball.” ‘———' v ve Pamae Photo b‘y American Press Assoclation.

Coleman in the Farm and Fireside. In fact, all other conditions may be perfect, and yet if this point is neglected failare may result. The pigs will soon learn to eat. The amount of feed can be increased as they advance in age, but they shouldn’t be fed more than they will clean up nicely. An occasional scalding and sunning of the trough will keep it rlean, ‘The first four months of a pig’s life determine largely what his after suc- cess 1s. Never let him lose bis pig fat during this time. Prepare for ample grazing as soon as the soil is warm enough by sowing rape or rape and grain mixed. .This can e grazed by It's Time To Get Y our New Fall Hat A great many of the new Stet- son hats have the new “sleek” stylish, very different, You'll find them in all the new fall shades of India, saddle brown and 1sh; very slate, at--- $4.50, Other good fall hats at--- $2.,00, $2.50, $3.00 GILL BROS.

A successfon of field grazing crops maturing through the summer and fall will supplement their daily grain ra- tion and will enable them to produce their gain at a profit. Pigs fed on grain alone, with little or no grazing ergps, will return little or no profit. All Letter Perfect. “You've been to the altar three times, I believe?” “Yes.” “And I twice.

But through and through you will find that you get just exactly WHAT YOU PAY FOR; there is no one who gives you something for nothing.

Likewise, the saving that is possible through a separator of ample capacity, that is easily turned and always in order. Under present conditions a mod- ern DE LAVAL CREAM SEPARA- TOR will save its cost every few weeks. Every cow owner owes it to himself and to his fellow country- men to effect this saving. It is true, no matter what kin1 of a separator you may be using, you are making a great saving, but you will find once you use a DeLaval that the saving is so much greater that you cannot afford to be using that old machine, or one that is not getting all the cream. It is also important to remember, too, that if you cannot pay cash for the separator you are in a position to get one from us on easy monthly payments.
