SUNDAY At CAMP RAMSEY
ARMY ROUTINE GIVES WAY TO
SOCIAL PLEASURES

Friends of the Men who Are Now
in Uncle Sans Employ Came i'm
- Nearly Everybody Brought
Something Along - The Muster
s Roll of Company C.
Army routine was laid aside at Camp
Ramsey yesterday. and the day was
given up to visiting and enjoyment.
Company 1 did guard, and outside Of
guard mount there was no drill. A
general inspection of quarters took
place, in which Col. Shardrew, Lieut.
Gel. Leonhauser, Maj. Gotzian and Mai
each company was inspected it's Off
GERS were invited TO join the inspect
ing officers, and before it was COM
piered The inspectors had quite a for
midable crowd with them.
The cleanliness of the camp was sur
prsing considering the crowded con-
dition OF the camp ground and the brisk
breeze that was blowing. This, Of
course, causes more litter to be strewn
about than is usual. The boys had
their eyes open. ard every bit of loose
paper had beEn picked up and burned
The cook houses were especially look
ed into and found models of cleanli-
ness without exception. There We're
between 5000 and 1000 people on the
ground steadily all day, so that the
grounds were visited by probably
1000 during the day, coming ana go
ing. Most Of the strangers came in
on the Breckenridge division of the
Great Northern road and the Sioux
City division of the Omaha. Brown S
Valley, Graceville, Wheatland, Morris,
Willmar and Litchfield were represent
ed well in the Great Northern crowd,
and Slayton, Luverne, Worthington,
PipestOne, Adrian and LIE Sueur sent
delegations over the Omaha. Every
boy in the Fifteenth regiment had a
fill of good, substant al homemade food
yesterday. Each delegation was load
ed down with good things enough for
a whole company. No one was over
looked.
HUSTLING FOR UNIFORMS.
Some of the tallest hustling that has
been done in Camp Ramsey took place
yesterday morning. Three companies
rolled out of bed in the morning minus
uniforms, but through the almost
superhuman efforts of Quartermaster
Coe and his crowd of assistants all the
their army suits. Through the kind
ness of Lieut.. Donaldson, Company G
was mustered in al o'clock Saturday
night That completed the regiment
This morning at 9 o'clock the regiment
will be mustered into the United States
service as regiment, and then-where
will the war department send the boys?
There was a rumor about camp last
night that they would be sent to Camp
suit everybody so well that it was con-
sidered almost too good to be true. No
one could be found to verify the rumor,
and it was looked upon as somebody's
pleasant dream. The regiment is al
most certain to GO from Camp Ram
sey before many days have passed.
VERY LITTLE SICKNESS.
Only twenty-five of the boys answer
ed sick call yesterday morning. quite
a falling off from the record of the
Gay before. The boys are beginning to
learn that it is not healthy to come
in from hard drill and fill up on Ice
water or ice cream and then lie around
in the shade sans clothing. They are
exercising more care, and as a conse-
Quence are feeling fine as a rule. Yes
terddy'S feast may swell the list again
this morning, but that remains to be
seen. VI the twenty-five VINO answered
sick call yesterday, only two were ap-
plicauts for hospital care. They re
NAMED there during the day. Capt
Bond was officer of the day; Lieut.. Ed
wards, officer of the guard; Fred Clark,
sergeant of the guard, and Norwood
Brockett. junior sergeant of the guard;
Schlcss, Rockey and Frazee, corporals.
Company G was the last company
mustered in, but was not the last COM
p&ny clothed by any means. The boys
got up at a. M, had breakfast half
hour later, and without waking any Of
the other companies they slipped
quietly down and reused Quartermaster
Coe up. and at o'clock they We're fit
ting their suits on. When the other
companies showed up an hour later,
their chagrin at find ng thems elves out
witted was deep. Company G boys
had almost perfect fitting uniforms yes
terday, but some of the others looked
rather mistit like.
