graham crackers, eggs, fruit and

what we hear at the infrmary,
the doctors if given the author
itv. would cut out, from sale at
the canteens, all soft drinks lex
cept lemonade) candies, cakes,
pies and cookies. Happily we
are issued jams and jellies in

did sanitary precautions taken
and the cleanliness insisted up
on, and with the men more care
ful in what they eat, the amount
Of sickness will be continually
reduced. This is not a conser-
vatiye statement CLOSING over
facts lust to relieve the anxiety
of folks at home; it is a stralgnt
fact.
That is not saying, however,
we are always content with the
rations issued OR the inconveni-
ences with which we are afflicted.
It is doubtful if there is one
man out of 100 throughout the
camp, but who would expert
ence the widest sort of joy to
hear orders to break camp and
go home. But we're in the army
now and it doesn't pay nor does
it help to make constant fuss
over what may be hardships.
Men have been grumpy, and con-
sidering the poor water which
we have unnecessarily been OBJ
liged to gulp down, they are not
to be blamed. Most of the time
! we get sufficient food supplies,
the commissary increasing in eff
fciency. From now on we will
have shower baths. Routine is
becoming more settled. Athle-
tics are being organized. Off
GERS higher up have issued or
ders for a big field day on Au-
gust 16 and August 80. Count
on it, if we are not at all times
contented, and if we do want to
get home most eagerly, we know
under what rules we are held
here and the only relief we have
so far found is to reduce the
complaints and make the best
out of the situation.

wins a 2 to l victory over the
3rd Battalion. A heavy rain
stops the game. Arrival Of Ca

and stirs up some pleasant

Monday: The usual drill sched-

the morning on roadway ~
mile from home, works in the
rain. Fortunately for the re-
peated drenchings we have been
receiving lately, we have enough
intense heat Immediately follow
ing to dry us quickly. The roads
here are hard to march on or
practically blocked to traffic by
any downpour larger than a fall
of dew, as the surface quickly
becomes greasy. AS a result of
this mornings showers we are
forced to "slide home" at least
most Of the way.
Tuesday: Excitement of the
day centers in the arrival of a
football for Company LIS per-

turned into a gridiron. A few
kicks, and the fellows line up
for scrimmage-Company l.

memorable by the construction
of floors for every tent of the

was purchased. Only two other
companies in the regiment have
thus provided for the comfort
of the men. No wiser expendi-
ture could have been made for
the men are now high and dry,
off the ground, free from things
that crawl in the night. Most

General
Amid numerous rumOrs which
have no doubt reached Redwood,
another statement will not be
amiss regarding sickness and the
general spirit of contentment in
the company.
Several of the boys have been
sick. So far Rogers, Ackman,
Biggers, Morgan and Stensvad
have done ''bit" in the regi-
mental infrmary. Several 9TH
ers have been confined to quar-
tiers from one to four days. The
sickness is not serious. however.
It is not strange that so many
of the boys have been sick after
drinking this water before our
filter was put in operation. The
whole camp has been affected in
varying degrees. At present,
with the water trouble elimi-
mated, the boys who have been
sick are recovering strength
quickly and are again assigned
to full duty. The doctors about
camp are now worried by the
way the men raid the various
canteens and load up on sweet
stuff. While government ra-
tions lack the trimmings to
which we have been accustomed,
they are substantial and whole
some. AS the various company
funds are used to provide ex-
tras, the officers are careful to
select only staple stuff which
will not put men on the sick list.
Company L Fund has already
provided us with a chicken din
ner, honey, sweet corn and wa
termelons, beside bouillon cubes,

Sharp County record., 1916-08-04

YES.
The government helps those who
help themselves, and is willing to
enter into partnership with those
who are wide awake to their own
best interests.
The creation of this federal fund
for the construction of good roads
is an additional reason why Sharp
county should begin some system
attic road making now. II we are
to have a portion of this govern
ment fund we are going to have to
show our colors and show the
highway department that we mean
business and intend to do some
thing really worth while on the
pubic highways. Delay is dang
erous. If this county puts off its
start in road making another year
or two years the county must be-
gin at the bottom with the first
years appropriation.
The fact that the government is
turning its attention to road max
ing for the benefit Of the rural pop
ulation and is in the future to turn
some of its enormous expenditures
to the public roads is matter that
should cause the people to congrat-
ulate themselves that they are COM
ing to the notice of the government
in a matter that concerns them
most vitality.

A few years ago the editor of the

quit the newspaper business and
plant fig orchard to supply the
obviously approaching demand for

maybe he is figuring on an apple

We are not figuring on anything
in that line. The time seems to
have arrived when fashions die
