CAMP GRANT ROCKFORD,
ILL.

You'll like it." is a Camp
Grant by expression and the cry
which came from our white com
rades some twenty-five days ago.
1--WE like it, is the reply we
make to all inquiry made of us by
home folk and visitors to the
Camp.
Boys Comfortable.
The dark stories painted by
friend and foe as to the reception
and treatment the Negro boys
would receive on coming to Camp
Grant have served only as con-
trast to what the conditions real
ly are. Clean and comfortable
quarters. well kept mess halls,
and chefs neatly dressed are the
things which lend much to the
agreeable living conditions here.
To my thinking. all that could be
expected is being furnished.
Supplies are still coming in
and all this week the Supply Off
icer and the Company Command
ers have been busy issuing woolen
suits. undersuits, socks, and
strong shoes to protect us from
the On-cOming winter.
A newspaper last week gave
the public the impression that we
are suffering. This is not true.
Almost every man has an army
regulation olive drab over coat
which takes a good bit of the cold
out Of zero weather.
Wisconsin Men.
Had this article appeared the
first week after we left, more
might be said concerning the
Madiosn men. Suffice it to say
we are all making good. Appoint
ments of nOn-commession officers
will include men from this city,
I think. But this is not the most
important thing, we are all 60
ing to make good soldiers. Wis
consin needs to be proud of her
men.
Intensive Work For Men.
1t was announced some days
ago that intensive work con-
fronts us. There is no time for
play" said the colonel. The men
realize this fact and are busy
from reille until taps drilling.
"Y" For The Men.
A new building is well on way
and the "Y" works are inter
ested and enthusiastic. This is
one of the greatest institutions
here. 1t plays an important part
in shaping the lives of the men as
soldiers. Come and visit one of
the greatest camps in America.

When you have a few minutes

figure out this problem: A
farmer brings 70 bushels of No.

one half pound on each bushel
and receives a price of $500. An
other farmer brings in also 70
bushels No. 1 wheat and is dock
ed one and one half pound on
each bushel but receives a price
of $2.01. Who receives the most
for his load and how much is the
difference?
Ben G.. Wall made a trip to
Minot last week on business.
1t was circulated last week
that the Farmers Elevator Co..
was paying only $2.05 for the
best wheat. This is a gross false
hood as they have paid $2.07 ev-
er since the price was set and are
still paying this price.
