3000 Aviator Recruits Are Arriving Daily San Antonio. Tex., March 1.?(Correspondence of The Associated Press) ?Aviation recruits have been arriving at the Camp Kelly aviation field lately at the rate 1.000 a day to fill the places of men who already have qualified for the flying and mechanical needs of the aviation service and heen advanced further toward the front. As fast as the men arrive they are organized into squadrons nnd their preparation for overseas service is rushed rapidly. The recruits come from vyidely separated places, hut most of them are from Columbus barracus, Ohio; Jefferson barracks, St. Mo.; Fort Slocum. New York; Jac pon barracks. New Orleans and Fort Logan. near Denver, Colorado. Men of all trades are received at this camp and fitting the right man in the right place is one of the g problems officials have to face, this section of the signal corps, men of manv trades are used in training activities and in keeping the flying machines in tip-top condition. Among them are the following. Automobile repairers, armorers, barbers, blacksmiths, bricklayers, buglers, boat builders, cabinet makers, canvas workers, carpenters, chauffeurs, clerks, cooks, coppersmiths, cordage workers, draftsmen, drill sergeants, electricians, engine apprentices .engine testers, engine repairmen. first sergeants, instrument repair men, lithographers, mechanicians for airplanes, mess sergeants, metal workers, magneto repair men, motorcycle riders, motor truck repair men moulders, packers, stockmen, painters, pattern makers, photographers. plumbers, propeller makers, propeller testers, Tadio operators, tent riggers, saddlers, sail-makers, sergeant majors, stenographers, supply sergeants, tool-makers, truckmasters, vulcanizers, acetylene weldclrilln/j or?rl linclrill 1 o era. One man who arrived here recently pave his trade as a 'butter cutter" and said he was one of the best butter cutters that ever cut butter. \ Another pavo his trade as a "hamboner." He said he was not much on a trombone, but he "could make 'em sit up and take notice with a hambone." A "hamboner" it proved was a praduate at palkinp houses who was expert in the use of a clever. Another recruit said his business was that of a cocanut cracker. His business had been to drive a sharp instrument into the eye of a cocanut and pour out the milk,, after which he would crack the nut and remove the meat. Still another pave his occupation as a "whistle blower." He came from the lumber district of the northwest where he pave the siprials for releasinp lops in the stream. Camp Kelly is facinp a shortape of tent materials and as a result many men are not beinp sent direct to the camp upon their arrival but are housed here until room is made for them. To take care of all recruits, it would he necessary to house nine men in a tent. The surpeon peneral, would not permit more than five men to be assipned to one tent. Aviation instruction is probably the most important instruction piven to recruits in any branch of service training in Texas. Now mechanics ar rive at the various camps almost weekly. It is said a good supply of Liberty motors is being sent to Texas. Start Gardening Now Garden time is here. Now is the time to begin doing your bit with your garden.

The 1917 crop is estimated at nearly 35,000,000 bushels. From the beginning of 1914 to August 1, 1917, there was a total advance of 82 per cent in the retail 1 prices of bread, according to the Department of Labor. In the last fewmonths there has been a decrease, and prices are now 66 per cent higher ' than at the beginning of 1914. j From June 5 to December 1, 1917, only 5,870 arrests were made or reported to the Department of Justice for failure to register under the selective-service act. Of these, 2,663 were realeased after having registered j and prosecutions were begun against 2,059, of which about 1,500 cases are still pending.

The come mission has no power to fix prices, e but it is expected that its figure will . serve as the basis for voluntary price t agreements between growers and purchasers of suirar beets.
