ways are to be macadamized; already this work is in operation
 As to the buildings and barracks, of which there are 1,600, they are built economically and we'll planned. The barracks can accommodate >250 men each having its kitchens and mess halls. Here I might state that ma" does not wash our dishes, but we have to wash and dry our own "mess kits" The "dirty work or kitchen police duty, is done in turns-one squad for each day. This squad is also called the Fatigue Squad" and this means that at 5:30 a. m. they adorn them selves in their "blues," which are over- alls and jumper. The work to be done is to sweep the barracks, clean la treens, scrub kitchen utensils, dining room floors and tables, etc. This teaches us to appreciate the everlast- ing work that our mothers have al- ways done. Not only this, but our own clothes are not thrown into the family wash -basket-but we have to roll up our sleeves and go to it. h. deed, it would be a treat to our mothers to see us tossing soapsuds, and l do admit that our first washings could be criticised. But i've are in the army now' and we have to learn
 As to cleanliness in camp, this is really the password aside from the numerous weekly examinations. There are 2,200 shower-boths, which even-

tually will be both warm and cold, but at present we have to chatter our teeth while the cold water flows down upon us. These are to be taken two and three times a week and each man is timed to three minutes under the shower.
 10000 in Bed at 10 O'Clock.
 We have electric lights and I am informed that there is 400 miles of electric wiring. To this I might add, our lights do not burn into the wee hours of the morning for all lights are out promptly at 10 o'clock. This is the greatest yet, for can you imagine 10000 young men in bed before 10 o'clock at night? This in itself is a good thing.
 Our barracks are to be heated with steam; the radiators are placed, but not yet connected, so we look for ward to a couple of months of "cold arising." There are 60 miles of heat ing pipes. Just think, there has been 34,0O0,00O sq. feet of lumber used and they are still building 50 that eventu- ally the 10000 acres will almost be covered with buildings.
 When we consider these facts we must acknowledge it is a wonderful engineering feat. The planning has been the responsibility of Captain Ed ward l.. Canfleld, Jr., the quartermas- ter of constructions; the construction

 Lovers of good music will undoubt- edly make the Reed Jewelry company their headquarters. In introducing the newest records to the public the proprietors have inaugurated an en- tirely new system of any yet seen in this vicinity.
 Four handsomely furnished ante rooms, each and every one a separate chamber, have been added to store at considerable expense. In these rooms which are especially equipped with acoustic powers the rich voice of Caruso and the pathetic notes of Mischa Elman and other renowned artists, can be enjoyed without the molestations of other purchasers. It is the keen desire of the proprietors to have every one in New Britain inspect the especially equipped cab inets and listen to the various rec ords. The Reed Jewelry company Is the sole agents for the Aeolian Vo- calian photographs, which need no introductions to the public.

Although established in this city but seven months. the Reed Jewelrv company at 164 Main street has be- come recognized as one of the reliable firms of New Britain. Beginning on a small capacity through the ener- getic ability of it's proprietors H. H. Freed and J. Hirschfeld the store has rapidly expanded until today its floor space and interior decorations are second to none.
 Expense was not taken into consid eration by the members of the firm when the fixtures of the store were installed. The interior is finished in deep-hued mahogany at total ex- penditure of over $5,20O. It was the purpose of the proprietors to make their store one of the most attra ctive in this locality and they have without a doubt succeeded.
 When speaking of their success here, MT. Freed enthusiastically said, We have endeavored to give the public the best that can be purchased in the jewelry and photograph mar

ket, and the people have responded generously It was our purpose to establish a modern store in New Brit ain. A store that would attract the best trade. It is our sole purpose to cater to the desire of this community and keep the public from going to Hartford for articles which they can secure here at a more reasona ble price and of better quality. Our buy ing capacity is such that we can get our merchandise at an excessive low rate. It has been and always will be our purpose to place the highest grade articles on the market at the lowest prices. Small profits and large sales is our slogan"
 The Reed Jewelry company has employed a most unique method of displaying it's wares. Every article in the store is within the sight of the purchaser. Everything is displayed in beautiful show cases or in mahog- any cases and it is only for the pros pective buyer to look around to dis cover what he wants. The highest grade jewelry, sterling silver, dia- monds, watches, etc., of every make

LIFE IN CAMP AS
 PETERSON SEES IT
New Britain Soldier Writes Long
 Letter From Cant0nment

Edward w. Peterson of this city, member of Company B, 3O1st Ma chine Gun Battalion at Camp Devens, Aver, Mass, writes an interesting let ter regarding the camp and the life of New Britain's selectives. Peterson tells of the long schedule through which the soldiers go and other feat ures of the life in khaki.
 The letter follows:
 Camp Devens, Aver, Mass.
 We are in the Army now," is the favorite expression of our boys in this camp. Every day it becomes a real fact more so than the day before. Without doubt this training-that is, pertaining to the physical-is do- ing us world of good, and it is a matter of fact that the open air life is what we all were presumably creat- ed for. Up here on the hills and in
 the woods we seem to be cut off from
 city life and left in isolation; but look ing beyond this, we enjoy the same sunshine and moonshine, can enjoy spiritual joy to our hearts content, | which more than ever moves our hearts to higher realms, to our Fa- ther above who knows our trials and privations and is powerful enough to lead us through it all to a successful end. This is my greatest hope, and why should l worry when God is my refuge.", Now, more so than ever before, I pray for guidance from AL mighty God to lead me on, and I feel as though l am safe; for I imagine | God extends His powerful right hand | down to me into which I can place | mine, so that hand in hand I march l on in safety to meet whatever lies in l wait. I have seen many of the boys | reading their Testaments as they lie 1 on their cots cuddled up in their
 blankets and without doubt they ] close their eyes in sleep often whis- 1 pering a prayer to God for their own 1 safe-keeping and for the health of 1 dear friends at home.
 The old saying is, There is noth- l ing bad but what it has something l good with it, and this is proven to be
 so right here in our camp-life. Pertaining to Camp Devens, it's de- | velopment has been a remarkable &C., 1 complishment in engineering. What 1 three or four months ago was a thick 1 ly wooded stretch of country has been
 transformed almost over night into a l modern city with population of over 10000.
 Devens Hero of Civil War. Camp Devens is fittingly named | after General Devens, one of the l heroes of the Civil War. The camp is
 two miles long and one and one-half 1 miles wide. Some sections are still | thick woods having nothing but path l ways winding through them. As it is | now fall, Jack Frost has nipped the l leaves so that they have their beauti- l full autumna1 colors. Indeed this is
 beautiful and we are given opportuni- ties to admire this natural beauty
 when we halt on our marches Our
 marches are lengthy and they are to be longer, for the camp already has twenty miles of laid road The road
