The grand Thanksgiving week at

rious, uproarious and unusual fea-
lures dominating both vaudeville anc
phStoplay sections.
Bsvond question the most popular
picrpre ever shown to the American
public Is that masterpiece of patri-
otto feeling from the pen of the late
Edward Everett Hale which by mod
ern photography and versatile actors
has been personifed into five acts
filled with thrill, loyalty and attrac-
tive appeal. "a Man Without Coun-
try stands alone today as the gov
ernment's vehicle, for patriotfsm-m max
ing, having been endorsed by officers
of the army and the navy who
viewed 1t on its showing before the
censrs. H. E. Herbert takes the lead
ing role throughout, assisted by other
well known artists of the silent stage.
Whirlwind comedy, song and dance,
amidst scenic splendar, will he led to-
day by Kitty Francis and her beauty
company, who appear in Miss Muir

offering of beauty.

Orleans, Birmingham, Chattanooga
and several other, places of less i'm

It only took US five days to make
the trip, leaving Brownsville on
Monday and arriving here on Satur-
day.
Our route brought US through the
Chattanooga, Tenn. Also through
Shenandoah Valley.
We reached here late Saturday and
that night we pitched" our "dog
tents" (You can imagine the sight
Ct about one thousand tents on one
field-two men to each "dog tent.")
We have up our regular tents now
and our new kitchens or "mess hal"
will seat two hundred men.
We are kept real busy at drilling
and hiking. We make hikes all over
the historic battlefield. in fact, we
make our skirmish lines across the
cold wheat field" and all around
Little Round Top.
At the unwilling of the Virginia
State Monument. a while back, our
battalion of the 9Th Infantry escorted
the Confederate soldiers and the
Governor of Virginia to the unveil-
ing. This was a grand thing, with
about four bands playing and thous-
ands of soldiers marching, including
the Confederate soldiers, who seem
to take the day.
After arriving here the 4th InfAh-
try was ordered to divide its regi-
ments, the 58th and 59th. In this
division Of the fourth, was assigned
to Company I'D" of the 58th. New
recruits are coming in every day

Gut Your Corn, Says Mr.. Burt,
To the Farmers of Bossier Parish,

10 the FARMERS OF 6OsSieT r1TiSA.
On account of the extreme long
drouth, q large FER cent of cid corn
has been ruined as far as grain is
concerned, and urge you to cut and
shock it for feed this winter. This
is excellent for all stock. It can be
shocked in small shocks until prop
erly cured, and if you have not suf-
ficient barn roem 1t can be put IN
large stacks like hay or fodder, eacf,
stack being topped off with hay or
fodder. It will keep perfectly this
way,
If you have no peas in this corn.
you can plant either peas or corn.
Any variety has plenty of time to
make good crop If we get rain. The
hay crop, owing to the drouth, has
been cut short to a great extent and
SO it Is doubly important to save this
fodder.
We also still have plenty of time in
which to make fine sweet potato
crop. The best crop of sweet pota-
toes ever raised was planted from
the vine July 26th, and yielded more
than 500 bushels per acre. This
crop will furnisk more feed for nlan
and beast thar any other one ercr
we grow. Yours respectfully,

only in the barracks but one week

Brownsville, Texas, ''away down on
the border"
After l reached Brownsville was
assigned to Company D of the 4th
Infantry, which was then stationed in
Brownsville.
Nothing much to say Of the
"border," only it is horrible
country, with its cactus, mesquite and
horned toads. The sand was con-
tinually blowing in clouds, SO it was
with pleasure when we heard that our
regiment had been ordered to Gettys-
burg, Pa.
Our trip from Texas to Pennsyl-
yania was rare treat indeed. We
came through the most beautiful
country of America. It took five
trains to bring our regiment; twenty
cars to the section; trains running
thirty. minutes apart. Every station
we passed was covered with addresses
of the "boys." and, believe me, quite
number of letters and cards were
received from the girls along the
route in answer to those scattered
addresses. Crowds at every station
met US with cheers and "a!l Of tbs
flacs I never saw"
We made several large stops on The
