'liams, the chief of the machine gun
platoon, was seen to purchase large
quantity of lemons. The Post Ex-
change is under the management Of
Lieut. Oscar Westover, 14th Infantry
with Corpl. Arnold of Compa ny"A"
as Post Exchange Steward, and that
the establishment will be managed
in most businesslike fashion and bids
we'll to meet with the most gratifying
results, goes without saying. In con-
nection with the many other features
such as the lunch counter and ice
cream parlor, post tailor shop will
also be instituted in the Post Ex-
change, so that there will be no ex-
|cuse for any one to 60 forth in un-
tidy uniform of blue or olive drab.
The entire p. N. G. staff made an
excursion to Bismarck, enmasse, the
other afternoon and P. C. Sergt.
Phillips combined this pleasure trip
with business, principally with the
M R. Produce Co. but as the said Co.
has moved its Office to some unknown
region, Sergt. Phillips errand was
almost fruitless, save for some
butter-milk, to which he treated his
companions, a1d that there may be
no loss Of time in the future in flnd-
ing the desired party or parties,
Sergt. Phillips, was seen exploring
the whole city of Bismarck last Sun
day evening, SO when he again made
a special trip to town Oh Monday,
there is no doubt but that the bus
mess was attended to promptly.
Sergt. Geo. H. Paul Of the hospital
corps, was seen in town the other
day and among other things, he did
not forget to secure a bunch of new
blanks for pass list, so now it will
be simple matter for the hospital
corps men to live up to the rules
and regulations of the post, and Prof.
Simminger is already talking of re-
peating his visit to Dickinson where
he enjoyed such good time on his
last trip.
Scarcely was the accumulation of
lumber by Mr.. F. Heine, the electr<
clan, reported in the Tribune, whe1
10, and behold, bunch Of carpenters
was summoned and in less time than
it would take to tell, the improvised
store-room and quarters are up and
ready for occupancy. Mr.. Ostrander
the post carpenter, was not so
prompt with his livery stable, but he
too, is almost ready to hang out his
sign. "Caballos Alquillas," etc.
Mr.. Young, the post plumber, was
troubled with tosili last week, so he
availed himself Of three days sick
leave. which he spent in Bismarck.
DR.. Roam has helped him out some,
and Mr.. Young reported for duty,
bright and early on Monday morn
ing, like new man. While in town
Mr.. Young made some wonderful dis
coveries about bed-sheets, towels,
handkerchiefs, etc., but he is not yet
decided as to what course he will
follow in the premises and he is not
yet ready to hang out his sign. Mr..
Marquis, the post electrician, is ALSO
spending much time in town, and
there is some talk of organizing
some sort of a trust, but it is doubt
full as to whether the post plumber
| and post electrician will be able to
agree on some decided course, they
! are somewhat suspicious of Mr.. Clay
the post blacksmith, who ds often
crossing their path in town.
Mrs. Hayes, wife of First Sergt
Hayes of Company 3D." arrived with
the rest Of the family from Van
