pie-eating contests conflicted. The
winners of the first and second bouts
decided to split the So between them
and take no chances on spelling their
figures. Pvts. Jenko Of Co. G, I'd Inf,
and O'Neill of Co. E, were the winners.
In addition to the contest several
reels of good pictures were shown.

can have fresh mullet twice a week
