AT CAMP GOOD.
Boy Soldiers Making Arrangements
to Hold Camp Fire.

The First Pennsylvania Regiment Of
the United Boys Brigade OF America is
having an excellent time at Camp Good
at Brandiywine Springs and entertaining
many visitors.
a new feature has been introduced in
the supply and serving of the mess. Last
year much complaint was heard because
OF the bad food and its scarcity. This
year the regiment commissary corps bad
made the supply sufficient, and the cook
ing is done by the cooks of the regiment.
The mess is served by the officers of the
company. This latter plan is found to
work admirably, becaus it exacts disci-
pllne whlle at the mess, there is no quar-
reling. with walters, and the officers
take it personally upon themselves to
gee that each boy gets his share of food
and that it is properly prepared.
A camp fire will be held either tonight
or Friday evening, which will be in
charge of Colonel Fred Gerhard, assistant
adlutant of the Pennsylvania Division,
U. B. B. A., who makes an inspection
visit to camp.
