The sale of Chautauqua tickets is
not going as rapidly as it should. One,

the time with fine sewing and fancy

iety on the part of the guests, who
requested Mrs. Boeye to go and in

found huge firecracker containing
many packages red. white and
blue wer-emblematic of the ma

CLEANLINESS IS
HIGHLY COMMENDED
Mrs. F. L. Miller Writes Interesting
ly Of Her Observations at
Camp Dodge.

| Eds. Freeman l was one
of a party of six who motored to
Camp Dodge on Sunday. wish to tell
you the condition in which found
the kitchen of Company c and also
the food to be cooked and which was
cooked. l have read in your columns
about the company not having
enough to eat. found the kitchen
absolutely clean, Gas clean as any
housewives could be-. All screened
in. The food is plenty, clean and
cooked good. For Sunday dinner the
company had roast beef and gravy
mashed potatoes, dressing, baked
beans, bread and butter, coffee and
ice tea. The company get seventy
| five pounds of meat day besides
bhcon once day. One day it is
t-bone steak, one day round steak
another day a roast. In doing that
way every company gets treated
taIike. The COOKE showed me all OF
the kitchen and kitchen utensils and
the food. The ice box is just as
white and clean inside as you would
have in your own kitchen. They arc
allowed 100 pounds of ice day
When the ice came it was washed
off, not a speck of dirt left on it. The
shelves OF the ice box were taken out
and washed and the refrigerator
cleaned before the ice was put in.
The cook is allowed a helper or Sec
ond cook and every day, two of the
company boys have to peel potatoes
wash dishes and scrub and clean up
the kitchen. Now you no doubt
think it funny that the kitchen floor
| is scrubbed, but the boys take a
bucket of soap and water, a scrub
brush and get down on their knees
and they make the boards look white.
Then they take clean water and a
mop and finish up the floor. The
shelves are cleaned just as clean as
the floor. This is done every day.
asked the cook about the things sent
| to the company, such as canned
goods, etc. He said, Come with
me-" and just outside of the kitchen
he had his reserve OF canned goods
| They We're in boxes and all covered
up or nailed up and the whole cover
ed with large canvas, so no dirt or
other matter could get to them. He
said the boys have plenty and this
will keep and when they get short
| of food some day he will have this
to fall back on for them. So maybe
while some of the boys think they
don't get what is sent to them they
may get it when they need it worse.
There is guard over this reserve
food every night and the cooks sleep
in the kitchen and keep watch over
the things there. Now looked into
several kitchens and l did not find
them as nice as Company C's. With
out doubt Company c has the clean
est kitchen in camp. The cook show
ed me a dandy fireless cooker. He
uses it mostly for cereals. In the
morning the breakfast food is cook
ed well for them and not half done.

WANTS ENGLISH TO BE
 STUDIED IN READING

PORTLAND, Ore, March 4.-J.| Willis JeFries believes. formal gram mar and rhetoric textbooks should be discarded from public schools. This belief, and the fact that Jefries taught his English classes from the contents of current magazines and popular novels, constituted "evil in- fluence, incompetence and insubOrdi- nation" in the eyes of the Portland school board. Today Professor Jeff fries is out of a job, but his influence is still felt in Portland circles. In the midst of his hearing before the board which by unanimous vote had disapproved his methods, JefTries re- signed. Since resigninG Jeffries has spent most of his evenings featuring about town on the subjec; of reforms in the teaching of English high schools. Forget your textbooks on grammar and rhetoric and learn Eng fish by reading Stevenson, modern authors and current literature" says Jefries. "No great man ever con descended to write a textbook and the authors of technical texts on gram mar and rhetoric are penny-a-liners compared with authors whose work is published in popular magazines" Formally charged with "evil influence, incompetence and insubOrdinatiOn," " Jefries publicly referred to his accus- CTS as "crustaceans" and "trOglody- tes." After this the hostility of other pedagogues against him was open.
