A. ILL., Boys Are LiOmg On a
Real Border With Happenings

Company rs home since the second
day of the New Year, and after the
first day, it was home. indeed. Com
pany K of Albany is here with Bad
Eye, and also troop of Georgia cav
alrymen, B. of Hinesville. The only
thing related to fort is the name, al
though there is an old deserted post
near the river. There are three water
tanks in the town, and two stores, one
a general merchandise, carrying
articles for mamma, papa and other
branches of family tree; the other Is
the inevitable saloon. The owner OF
the two stores, Mr.. Mahoney. is inter
ested in the boys from Georgia, and
his Victrola is kept busy night and
/ day with strains of Georgia Moon,
Are You From Dixie" and Alabama
Jubilee" There are three sports left
for the boys, the favcrite, writing
notes, perfumed if possible, to travel
ers on the Limited; hunting rab-
bit and quail on the mesa around the
town; and having meetings in Mr..
Mahoney's store. The last is not the
least by any means, and conversation
with "spicks." or greasers, or MeXi-
cans, is also one of the greatest joys.
Went Out Hunting.
While hunting quail a few days
ago. Private Heath of Company K. and
Russ" Walter Russ-Major Wilders
personal orderly surprised a bob-cat,
and after run of three miles, they re-
turned to the spot where the cat was
seen, and mustered courage to shoot.
Luck was with the boys, and the cat
went to the bobcats hunting ground.
They brought the dead Texas House
Cat" back to camp and were admired
by hundreds of friends, who wondered
why the cat came up and begged Heath
to shoot. The cat measured six feet
from tip to tip guess that is the
way cats are measured-and weighed
eighty-three pounds. The Oldest Set
tier remarked that it was the largest
killed here since Francisco Villa was
slicing Porterhouses off meat in Chi
huahua City for his bread and butter.

If it is necessary for the potatoes to.
stand a few minutes before being
serted, cover them with a cloth, not
a lid, in order that the steam as it
condenses may be absorbed by the
cloth, and not returned to the potatoes
to make them sogey. This is the
reason for serving potatoes in an

appearance last night in the tournament
at the Lexington Theatre, and signal
lied his entry by winning a bout from
Karl pospisil. the Giant Bohemian,
after sensational struggle of IS
minutes.
Il was the Strangers famous head
lock that brought Pospisil to a condi-
ton Of exhaustion and made easy the
fall. Pospisil put UP a game fight, and
while he never had the Stranger in
danger he made it very interesting for
him. Many other interesting bouts en-
tertained the big crowd in attendance.
Posplsll made objection to the Strang-
ler's formidable deadlock, which Inc
claimed usually developed into a stran-

CITY SCHOOLS MAY
Be CLOSED While
COAL IS scarce
Continued from First page.

I is opposed to any plan to close the
schools
with the coal yards Of the city empty
and many homes and manufacturing
plants without fuel. the bins in the cell
lars Of practically all the public schools
arc filed with coal. This is due to the
foresight Of the board last summer when
they placed their contracts with several
dealers and had the coal delivered dur
lng August The idea Of closing the
school is that this large supply Of fuel
could then be taken from the schools
aud distributed elsewhere throughout
the city.
Mr.. Miller opposes the closing Of the
schools and the taking Of their coal sup
ply, saying that tho children could be
kept warm at least tho greater part OF
the day II the schools remained open.
and that n they were closed the boys
and girls might have TO remain in homes
that were without fuel. lie is not In

situation While there may be no act
nal suffering, there is a shortage Of
fuel and many dealers are without coal
or have only limited supply This
supply is being handled in such a way
as TO insure the widest distribution
possible.
