COOPERATING.

One of the most valuable agencies in
cooperating with the Army Y. M. c. A.
at Camp Hancock, has been the Au-
gusta Y. M. c. A., Walter Hunter,
general secretary.
Coincident with the arrival of the
troops at Camp Hancock the Augusta
association inaugurated a campaign
for $4,000 for the purpose of improv-
ing the building and charging the
equipment, particularly the shower
bath facilities. The campaign was
very successful and as a result eight
cen new shower baths are in use.
To enjoy a hot shower bath or a
swim in the pool, a soldier needs moth
ing more than his uniform. A small
charge of five cents is made for towel
and soap That is all. The reading
room, writing materials, piano and
Victrola are at the service of the SOL
Ciers.
Thousands of men from Pennsyl-
vania have been accommodated by the
association The building is located at
Greene and Ninth streets.

18TH INFANTRY.

Arrangements are being made by
several prominent members of the 18th
Pennsylvania Infantry to put ON an
extensive entertainment in CONJUNCTION
with a band concert before the reor-
ganization separates the different COM
panies. Jim Flick of headquarters
company appears to be the leading
spirit and is being ably assisted by
Sergeant McManus, Company c., who
is llnig up his quartet for the pro-
gram. Sergeant Roy Jones will rem
der solos and will be an array of talent
such as the division had seldom seen.
Several boxing bouts and some
wrestling will be included and Private
Num- of Company c, will do some
fancy dancing and contortion work.
An unofficial census of the regiment
shows that there are seventy sets of
brothers in the organization. Company
|, of bloomsbury, holds the record with
IA sets, while Company #, S low with
but one set, Company JG has a record
of its own. 1t has four boys from
the one family, namely Leland Degroat,
Mailen, Milo and Guy Degroat. Sew
eral companies have three brothers en-
licted or commissioned.
The census also shows that the
average age of the enlisted men is
about % years and that over two thirds
of the men named their mothers as
beneficiaries and as those to be noti-
fled in case of emergency
The band certainly got away with
bunch of eats at the Eagles blowout in
Augusta. Nearly every member won
something in the door prizes and all of
them happened to get eats. They had
everything from sacks of flour to sweet
potatoes and pineapple and there was
some feed when they put the articles
together.
