from the major-general down to the
horned toads. Then when the hard
part is over and the mess is better
than usual we wouldn't swap places
with the richest or happiest civilian
living. ...
The first few days it was all dust,
travelling, rations and work. The sand
filled our throats and our hair and
made us generally miserable. We dug
cutters and made roads and cut up
grass roots until it seemed that we
had been elected to level the whole
blamed county.
But in spite of it all the irrepressi-
bic spirit of youth welled up and
we joked at our awkwardness and
laughed at the blisters and did our
bit" There are some of those spirits
in every organization that simply
won't stay down and they keep the
whole camp in good ,humor.
Each day brings a new idea or name
for something or some duty. One of
the boys in a detail, resting while
awaiting orders, saw a bugler 60 by.
"No, boys" he said, its not so.
That's no horned toad; its a bugler."
IT you knew what horned toad
was you'd get the idea in a hurry.
It's against the rules OF good de-
pertinent to wear ones hat into the
dining hall. You get X. P. (kitchen
police If you do. A lot of the boys
have had their hair clipped short until
they look like nice big cue balls with
short whiskers. AS result the K. P.
is UP to war strength all the time.
The fellows are ashamed to take their
hats off. You can't blame 'em either.

fused to enlist US if they could have

mine clipped. They'd run me out o.

get me to clip it would be with ma.

Real Hair Raising.
One of the fellows said that he be.
lieved he'd raise moustache-one
of those cute little tooth brush, French
ones that some Of our lady friends
admire.

EXPECT SEVENTH TO
Be IN SERVICE SOON
Two New Nebraska Regiments
Probably Will Be Fused With
Old Organizations Under
Reorganization Plans.

What is to be done with the Ne
braska troops in the new organization
of the rmy is a question many are
asking. According to the new rules,
there must be but two regiments to
a brigade, while Nebraska now has
three, all at Deming, and the National
Guard reserve being filled at home.
One guess is that the Sixth and
Seventh regiments will be used to fill
in the vacancies in the Fourth and
Fifth at Deming. There would be
just about enough men, as all stand
now, to fill up the two Older regi-
ments to the new quota required. OF
ESQ men to each company. Being Or
ganized under the old ruling there are
but $50 men 10 company now in
all the regiments.
Some members OF the Seventh be.
lieve they will be kept here for a short
while and then sent to the cantonment
at Deming as soon as some regiment
goes to the front and leaves room.
Many oelitve Nebraska will have two
brigades instead of one.

GOVERNOR GOES
TO WASHINGTON
Chief Executive Hastens to
Capital in Effort to Preserve
Entity of Nebraska
Brigade.
tFrom a Staff Correspondent,

Lincoln, Sept. Ex-Governor Ne
vile left for Washington this after
noon where he will confer with the
department officials regarding the
status of the Nebraska Guard. The
rumor that the Nebraska brigade was
going to be cut up and divided among
other units of the army is not at all
pleasing to the Nebraska executive
and he will endeavor to use his in
fluence against such move. He will
also talk over other matters, prefer
ring to get matters first handed in
stead OF waiting for things to come in
the usual slow manner.
Whether Lieutenant Governor
Howard will come to Lincoln and
take command of the ship OF state
during the absence OF the governor
is not know. Should such a thing
happen it is likely that the state house
may the scene of great tumult or.
something worse.
Lieutenant Governor Howard has
been demanding that the State Coun-
Gil OF Defense remove Herbert E.
Gooch from its dictatorship, but up
to date the council has taken no
stand. The lieutenant governor has
made some charges against Mr..
Gooch which he thinks, taking his
view of it, are real serious. On the
other hand Mr.. Gooch says that the
lieutenant governor is crazy and,
should 60 to the asylum, although he
prefers sending him to a more unpop-
ular resort not under the jurisdiction
of the board of control.
So when Howard comes to town
there may be clash. He will, be
commander-in-chie of the new Ma
tionai Guard. Mr.. Gooch is captain
OF the Lincoln company OF the guard.
