THE BOYS HAVE BEEN GOOD

Notwithstanding the fact that yesterday was the hottest day reported this year, a large crowd went to Camp Rhodes at the Fair Grounds to see the soldier boys. The dress parade and review was held at 6 o'clock and the boys drilled eXcellently. Colonel Higdon was well pleased with the showing made by the men yesterday af- ternoon.
 The conduct of the boys in camp is ex- cellent. Only three arrests have been made, and these for minor offenses. The soldiers seem to realize that they are fin camp for instruction and not for fun and frolic. efN6s H:*.'f
