camp, we are still progressing In fine
shape inside our high board fence. -
The spirit of hilarity still runs
lose and occasionally breaks out In
FRANKS that afford us days of amuse-
ment. For instance, a few nights
ago several OF us were IN camp and
had amused ourselves in the usual
maner by playing ball until it was
dark. Hardly had the shades of
| shadowy dusk descended till that
eternal spirit of unrest assembled
through our midst, and surrender
ing to ii we began looking for some
suitable outlet for our pent UP
spirits.
Hurriedly we dragged out an old
suit of O. D. 8 from one of the tents.
Rushing in frantic haste we made
| frantic footsteps for the straw pile,
where with many and useful hands
we stuffed into the bosom, and like
places OF importance much of this
musty smelling straw stuff. At last
with much labor and more laughter
we succeeded in making a lifelike
image Of forlorn rookie.
Hosting our newly made friend,
whom we named "Henree," high
above our sweaty brows, with Joyous
leaps of pure glee, we made hasty de-
parture for the gate entrance. On
our merry way, we made time to
stop and further outfit our dearly
beloved and highly honored 'Henree
with pair of large shoes and bent |
up hat, Having at last completed
our friends toilette by pinning his
hat on, we made for the gate, where !
passing the guard, we proceeded to
ditch our man in the shadowy gloom
of nearby willow, by which the
trail to camp passes
Tying string to one of Henree's /
pedals, we lay him, mid grand and
glorious ceremonies, across the trail.
When he was all arranged in the
most lifelike manner possible, we hid
in some nearby and very
handy brush.
. Soon we preceiyedq one lonesome
soldier lad some rarin around the
corner Silence reigned supreme in
our midst and as the unsuspecting
lad approached this acme of horrid

step upon poor "Henree, one of the

LEARN THRIFT, IS ADVICE
Miss Beers Also Urges Cultivation
Of Vacant Lot Near HoneA

Cultivate the vacant lot near your
home and learn thrift, was the advice
given by Miss Anne Beers super
vising principal of the eighth divi-
sion, at a meeting OF the Weightman
section of the Grant-Toner-Weigh
man Parent-Teacher Association, at
the weightman School yesterday.
Thrift and saving were stated to
be entirely different. Actual money
in the bank does not of necessity
mean thrift. Miss Beers said. Persons
without any money in bank were
sometimes thriftier than those with
large bank accounts, she asserted.

of the Mothers Congress, said that in
