company, consequently there is
absolutely no danger for us.
We think Co. "a" is as good
as any company in the regiment,
and they are drilling every day
to keep up the pace. The disci-
pline is fine and the spirit of the
boys could not be better. We are
somewhat handicapped in get
ting our supplies and commissa-
ries, owing to the fact that we
are the only company in the reg
intent without a Ford truck.
The food is fine in every re-
spect and in addition to the reg
ular ratiOns we are issued fresh
meat, fresh bread and ice every
day. We have two of the best
cooks in the regiment.
The boys again wish to extend
their thanks to the people of
Lexington and Lafayette county
for their hearty cooperation.
We will try at all times to main
tain a reputation that will be a
credit to them.
We have just received the
first installment of towels and
and the advice that more are tc
follow. They will be a joy to the
men and a surprise to the mess
outfits.

Caught With The Goods.

The local office of the Wells
Fargo Express Company has
been missing from time to time
considerable sums of money. All
efforts to catch the thief were
without results until Mr.. Couey
marked some coin and placed it
along with other cash. Geo. Will
son, better known as Dusty"
was a frequenter of the Office,
and, of course, wasn't let into
the secret of the marked coin.
He had been seen to have more
money than the usual loafer
carries, so Friday night Officer
Seitz pinched him and found in
his possession $2.75 of the doct-
ored coin. Dusty" 'fessed up
and was turned over to the ten
der mrcies if the criminal court.

Home Guards Made a Start.


A start was made Tuesday
night at a meeting of the Civic
& Protective League to recruit a
company of home guards. Quite
a number volunteered. A COM
mittee was appointed to secure
recruits, and it is earnestly hop
ed that all of the young men
who have not been called into
the army, will join the company.
Guards are being formed in all
the counties. Lexington with
her varied industries, should not
be a laggard in this resepct or
forget that we are war with a
nation whose spies are every
where capable of doing an un-
told amount of harm unless we
are prepared to take care Of cur
selves. And the better we are
organized and prepared, the
more apt they are to give us a
wide berth.
There are but two classes of
people in the United States at
present-Americans and enemi-
es. To which class do you be-
long?

ATHLETICS TAKE FIRST
GAME FROM ODESSA
By a Score of 5 to 3. Murphy's
Home Run Featured.

nome nun Featured.
The first game of a series of
three between the Athletics and
Odessa, for the championship of
Lafayette County, was played
Sunday at the Athletic park
and resulted in a victory for the
home boys by the score of 5 to 3.
This was Odessa's first defeat of
the season. The second game
will be played in Odessa, and the
third on the home grounds.
In the first half of the initial
inning the home boys made
four errors and Odessa made
two runs. That was going some
for starter, but then it was on
ly a starter, and as a bad begin
ging sometimes ends well, we
are consoled. The domestic half
Of the first made the Lexington
rooters forget the first half.
Roger, first man up was passed,
and a little later rode home tan
dunn with Murphy who pasted
the pill over the fence for a
home run. Well done Mr.. Muir
ply, MAY your shadow never
grow less.
In the third each team scored
another run. "Ug" Sermon, play
ing second for Odessa, made a
two bagger, stole third and scor-
ed on a sacrifice fly by Thieman.
Hale, for the Athletics made
the circuit thusly: free trans
portation to first, sacrificed to
second by Roger, and scored on
Mason's single. Everything was
goose eggs for Odessa thereaf-
ter.
The tie was broken in the
sixth. Murphy sent a hot grass
cutter right through Sermon,
stole second and scored on Ma
sons single. Mason took second
on the throw home, went tc
third on a sacrifice by Shoemak-
er, and scored on another sacri-
flee fly, this time by Harding.
The largest crowd of the sea-
son was out and thoroughly en-.
joyed the contest. Hale was the
same old reliable. While Sermon
said that it was a pity to bat
against the boy, we noticed that
Mr.. Sermon had to be content
with one lick. Tim Caldwell who
was expected to immortalize
himself was made to look very
foolish. He made first once on q
= felders choice, and famed three
S.imes. No immortality in that
Timmie.
Carson, who pitches from the
wrong side, was also in gooC
form and made the home boys
hustle for every count.

A Letter From Capt. Campbell.

summary of the first week spent
in camp by the boys of Co. GA"
After an uneventful journey,
we arrived at Camp Clark, Sun
day afternoon, August 13, 1917,
at $3.50 p. m. Being one Of the
first companies in camp we had
the unpleasant task Of pitching
our own tents without very
many instructions, and to appre-
ciate the joke one should at
tempt to pitch an army tent.
However, after two long hours,
our company street began to as
sumo the proper appearance.
The next thing on the program
was a charge on the bountiful
boxes prepared by the ladies of
Lexington and vicinity, and to
say the least, the remembrance
of that charge will dwell in their
minds as long as they live.
Col. Linxweiler, commander of
the 9th Mo. Infantry, was invit-
ed to partake of the Spread"
He commended the ladies very
highly on their ability to pre-
pare boxes for the soldier boys.
Sleep was not thought Of un-
til dark when they were issued
several bales of straw and sever
al bed ticks and told to prepare
their beds, each man for him
self. After the "stuffing" pro-
cess was finished each man was
issued a blanket and told that he
might turn in for the night.
E Here ! might add that not one
of them had to be told a second
] time, for every man was tired
and in a very short time, each
man was rolled in his blanket to
spend his first, of no one knows
how many nights of army life.
: They arose next morning at
. 5:10 and took their morning ex-
r ercise and spent the remainder
, of the day ditching around their
tents and becoming acquainted
with the duties of a soldier.
: Tuesday they lined up and
marched to the examining off
> GERS for their physical examina-
tiOn, where they performed sew
eral acrobatic stunts for the of
+ ficer's benefit, which included
toe dancing, rigid lung, eye and
, ear tests, and many other feats
not mentioned.
After the physical examina-
tion they marched to the sani-
tary tent where they were Civ
en- vaccination and first inocula-
tion for typhoid. This resulted
, in several doing what is called
| the "Fadeaway," that is, not
taking any notice of the hap
, penings around them for a few
+ minutes. They are to receive an
other shot next Tuesday and no
=, doubt there will be some more
'Fadeaways." )"

n der of the day was spent in re-
covering from the shock of the
n day previous.
Thursday they drilled -four
hours in close order, which was
easy for them as they had haC
the same drill the previous
; week in Lexington. This same
q day the boys were notified Of
n the loss of eleven comrades thru
disability. Some were taken by

TO CLEAN SILVER
GOVERNMENT EXPERTS TELL OF
BEST METHODS.
Directions for Preparing a Cleansing
Material That Has Much Virtue
Must Be Applied With Care
and Thoroughness.

For the benefit of those who have
economics at Washington has made
thorough study of the electrolyticl
method Of cleaning and has published
the results of their work in United
States Department of Agriculture Bull
letin No. 449.
After discussing several types Of
commercial cleaners and giving the re-
suits of various analyses, they suggest
the following method as being cheap
and satisfactory:
IAN enamel or agateware dish
should be partly filled with cleaning
solution of one teaspoonful of either
washing or baking soda and one tea
spoonful of common table salt to each
quart of water and placed directly
on the stove to boil. A sheet of alumni
nun or clean zinc should then be
dropped into Ae dish and furnished
silver placed in contact with the metal.
1t is best that the silver be entirely
covered with the cleaning solution and
that the solution remain ut the boiling
temperature. AS soon as the tarnish
has been removed the silver should be
removed, rinsed In clean water, and
wiped with soft cloth. Zinc may be
used in place of aluminium, but it be-
comes corroded and inactive in much
shorter time"
The electrolytic method cleans plated
or sterling silverware without loss of
metal giving, however. u satin finish
rather than FURNISHED appearance,
and has the additional advantages of
being both clean and labor-saving.-

Delmonico Cream Roll Potatoes.

Here are two Delmonico potato
recipes: Pare potatoes and cut them
into bits the size of pea. Keep them
in cold water until all are ready. For
each scant pint of potatoes make a
pint Of white sauce, seasoning with
onion juice or celery salt. Stir the po-
tatoes into the hot sauce, turn into a
well-buttered agate sauce pan and cook
in the oven until the potatoes are ten
der and the sauce Is absorbed, with
the exception Of just enough to hold
the bits of potatoes together. Fold one
part over the other as an Omelet and
turn onto Il hot dish. The potatoes
should not brown above or below. If
necessary. set them on the CRATE and
cover the pan.
