Up At Six in Winter
Each morning in the winter time
we get up at six o'clock; in the sum-
mer time at five o'clock and stand
"Reveille' before breakfast to see that
all soldiers are present. Immediately
after breakfast we sweep out our
quarters, make our hunks and pick up
all dirt around the camp. Each man
makes his own bunk but the privates
do the policing up as the cleaning up
camp is called and one 'nQn-com' from
each building is in charge of them.
ION Monday, providing we drill, we
line up with rifles and belts at seven
O'Clock and march out to the parade
grounds where we have two hours Of
physical exercises. Then follows bay
onet exercise, bomb throwing and
drills in companies and battalions. All
these take up the morning till eleven

thirty when we march in for dinner
fall out again for two more hours Of
whatever kind of drill the lieutenant
sees fit to give us and that is usually
field work and skirmish drill. At three
O'Clock all non-commissioned officers
attend school for an hour and at four
thirty we usually have parade. It
lasts till supper-time and after that

THE xyEEK,s RECORD.

Despite the fact that the city was
vigorously canvassed by the Liberty
Loan Committee for subscriptions to
the Liberty bonds. real estate during
the week assumed more activity than
during the past month. several large
transactions charactcrizing the weeks
business. There has been n tendency
for the past few weeks for the real es-
tate market to be stagnant. probably
due to tbs unsettled condition of the
country, but whatever the cause the
fact still remains that the real estat"
market is slow this year in getting
down to real business and for many
months there has been no transaction
involving more than $4,000 or $4,000
Yesterday was probably the best day
the real estate market had in many
weeks. the transfers during the day
amounting to more than SSS,0e6, while
the release deeds amounted TO over

PRICE OF SILVER
 SCARS TO Y CENTS
Metal Back to Highest Price of War; Disturbed Mexico
 Responsible.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-Bar silver rose to v cents an ounce in this mar ket today, within one quarter of cent of It's highest quotation since the war. The record was made last May on a heavy demand from Europe as well as Oriental sources. after which the price fell back to nearly 70 cents.
 This renewed strength of silver is in keeping with general conditions in the metal trade. Copper and other base metals are holding close to the best prices of last year. these in ef- feet establishing records for 20 years or more.
 Another reason for the renewed strength of silver is the embargo some time ago declared upon the metal by Germany and England's prohibition Of its use in the arts.
 The long suspension of mining op- erations in Mexico for many years is an important source of silver supply also has helped to deplete supplies in this market.
