vantage was taken by the public re
gardless of their connection with the

their guests. The ladies IF the city

eges has brought the organization into

Guardsman in the Thirty-third regi-
ment. He weighs 257 pounds.
Lieut.. Col. Charles Wilcox, U. S.
A. who has charge of the medical ex-
aminations here accepted Mccall,
despite his weight, when he learned
that the sergeant had been walking
many miles daily at Owosso, where
he carried mail.
Ralph Davidson and Ray Depotty
were on guard Friday night. There
was not q single person on the sick
list Friday morning.
While the band was playing "Auld
Lang Syne," the 219 members of the
Thirty-third regiment, who were dis
qualified because of physical disabi-
lily, Friday, marched from the camp.
The boys who had to return home,
we're given hearty send off by their
friends III camp, who did much to
tighten the hearts of the rejected.
All were paid off.

of drills daily, to which now despite
the heat, the Guardsmen are accus-
toned, the stay here is a vacation.
