This war is getting terribly close
home to some people now that the

sundaes, creams, and almost all of the
popular soft drinks. Announcement
of the advance was made last week b.
the retailers and soon thereafter the
manufacturers Of ice cream followed
suit In the case Of drinks in which
ice cream is used, it was putting the
OK before the cart for the retailers to
advance their prices first, but the re-
suit is the same and the consumer
will pay the bill. Increased cost Of
material is given by the dispensers
and the manufacturers as the reason
for the advance

GOOD REPORT FROM
MAURYC OREDMiN
KING TURNER, EMPLoYE OF HER
AID, RETURNS FROM CAMP
MEAD, MARYLAND.

Full OF interesting lore about the
Goings at the big soldiers camp in
which he has been stationed for the
past month or more, King Turner,
co,ored employe of The Herald who
left with the increment of soldiers on
October 5. has returned home after
being turned down on final physical
examination at the camp.
King brought back a fine report Of
the other Maury county colored boys
who left with him. He said that
they made a reputation among the
thousands of soldiers in the camp for
their orderly conduct and efficient
drilling. The duties in the camp were
not found to be hard. AL they had
to do was drill seven hours a day
and then they could play. There was
little drinking among the men, be-
cause every drunk meant a five dol
lar fine and 80 minute cold shower
bath.
The Maury increment of colored
men was divided into two sectors,
each OF which remained together un-
til about a week ago when che COM
panies were reorganized and they be-
came scattered.
