Salt Lake Citj N E E D E D A THOROUGH SO U SIN G Evil Spirit of Hackman Could Not Be Exorcised Except by Most Strin. gent Methods. Doctor Brown, s negro evangelist, was a firm believer In the ancient cus tom of river baptism, and converts whom he baptized in this manner sel dom forgot It. A few years ago he held a christening In ■ New Jersey town on the banks of the Delaware river, where a dozen or more converts were assembled, awaiting their turns to be Immersed. Among them was a hacktnan. who evinced a lively Inter est In the ceremony. "W hy does the good doctor." he ssked of t fellow convert, ‘‘duck some of them folks two times an' others more ?'' “ He ducks 'em once.” erplalned hla friend, “ for every new name they're goin’ to have.” “ Is that possible?” the haekman re plied. “ I was goln" to call myself Thomas Jefferson Lincoln Anderson, but I guess T om ' will be Trout long 'null.“ This conversation was overheard by the sharp ears of Doctor Brown, who Anally beckoned the haekman to come forward. “ To‘ name, please?" he Inquired In a deep bass voice. “ Jets baptize me T om ,’ that's ’nuff.” the candidate replied, aa the evangel ist, taking him none too gently by the neck, piloted him far out Into the etream. where he ducked him not once hut half a dozen times with such ra pidity and vigor that a few minutes later the haekman found himself on the shore, coughing, sputtering and Aghtlng for breath. The ceremony was seon ever, and when he had recovered his strength he made his way to the side of Doctor Brown. "W hat fo' you duck me that way?” he demanded In aggrieved tones. “ 1 come here to he baptized, not to be drowned.” “ My good man,” replied Doctor Brown, "you was so Ailed With the devil I had to use a powerful lot of water to wash him out of yo’ system." One Good Time. I think my most embarrassing mo ment took piece one lovely night last summer. I was engaged to be mar- pled and decided to have one good time with an old friend of mine. I can celed my Intended husband's date, complaining of a sick headache, and went out Joy riding. I erplalned the circumstances to my friend, so we de cided to go to a bathing heach some distance away to take a plunge in the lake. We were having a grand and glorious time swimming and diving when lo ! who should stand on the pier but my future husband. Ton can Imagine m.v agony when my friend called to me. “ Say. May. dive with me ones m ore; then we'll have lunch."— Exchange.

Since the Legion took up this work In Michigan, a total of 2.500 cases have been settled by the Legion and the fed eral board, working together.

Four district conferences have been | held in Ohio and arrangements have been made to have "flying squadrons" visit the posts as fast as men having I claims can be located and gotten to- j get her.

CASTORIA Assimilated Rank Won far Msmbsrt of Army Nuros Corps Aftsr Long Fight. There win be female officers la the American army hereafter. The army nurse has won her fight for recogni tion. Salted carefully‘kway In a safe cor ner o f army reorganization legislation a a passed by both branches o f congress Is a neat little section conferring the "assimilated rank” o f major, captain, and first and second lieutenant on members of the Army Nurse corps. The superintendent Is to have the rank o f major, the assistant superintendent, director and assistant directors the rank of captain, the chief nurses the rank o f first lieutenant, and other nurses are to be second lieutenants. Officially speaking, a person holding assimilated rank Is one who exercises limited authority o f that rank under certain conditions, but does not enjoy the full privileges o f the rank. It lacks several of the elements o f absolute rank. It does not call for a commis sion and It does not carry the pay. al lowances or the emoluments o f one. It makes no attempt to confer the power o f command Incident to a line officer o f similar grade. The only incident» of absolute rank conferred are: 1. The dignity Incident to the name of the rank. 2. The right to wear the Insignia thereof. 3. The eligibility to exercise author ity within the limits set forth in the law. which are as follow s: "A s re gards medical and sanitary matters and all work In the line o f their du ties. they shall have and shall be re garded as having authority In and about military hospitals next after the medical officers of the army.” The movement for rank for army nurses began with America's entry into the great war. A series o f hearings on the proposition were held before the house committee on military af fairs on April 16. April 20 and June 7. 1913. Nothing Immediately resulted, but the nurses maintained an active bureau In Washington, headed by Mrs. Helen Hoy Greeley, a New York law yer. When the war was ended and Hrmy reorganization was plainly Im minent, they stepped In and won. More than 10,000 army nurses saw overseas service during the war. All were graduate nurses recruited largely through the American Red Cross nurs ing service. Army nurses were among the first to represent America on the other side. BU SY CO UNTING NEW SHEEP RAISING IS PICTURED Film Shews Treatment of Fleck e* Culling Time In Fall and en to Selling e f Lambs. There are two reasons why It will be impossible for some time to an nounce the total, of new members ob tained in the Legion's receut member ship push. The first Is the inevitable lapse o f time necessary to get Individ uni figures from nearly ten thousand Legion posts In all parts o f the coun try—and In some parts of other coun tries. The second Is the fact that, while the push closed officially on May 22. the enthusiasm accumulated and concentrated on that week o f effort has spilled over the edges and gone right on effervescing. The full story o f the push— the meth ods used, all the way from somebody’s Ingenious Idea to everybody’s solid hard work—can perhaps never be told Governors o f more than thirty states gave whole-hearted endorsement to the push, and the resulting publicity was of immense value in directing at tention to the Legion's effort.

Bartlett of New Hanip shire, for Instance. issued,a proclama tion. exactly as on Thanksgiving. “ In one sense," rends the proclamation “ this Is an exclusive affair, as in the nation only four million, and In New Hampshire only eighteen thousand men and women are eligible for mem bership.
