This is sure some country. We

enjoyed the apple butter all the way.
We came by way of Joplin, thru Tul-

There were jack rabbits and
prairie dog towns dotting the coun-

The camp is 23 miles long and laid
out in the shape of horse shoe with
foothills al laround it. They are
called foothills but l would call them
mountains. l walked over to one
which seemed close to camp and l
thought 1 never would get to the top.
From it's peak you could look over
the entire camp. l saw rattlesnakes,
Lizards, coyotes and some grand
views of the country. You can hear
the coyotes howl all night.
We haven't started drilling yet,
but have been working things up in
camp. We have to dig bitches
around our tents three feet wide and
two feet deep. OF course 1 oversee
the job.
We are going to have board floors
in our tents, also electric lights and
real mess halls to eat in. This is
sure some busy place. Carpenters
electricians and road makers, like
they had at tn eWorld's Fair, all al
work. Each company has it's owl

Aeroplanes fly over the camp al

Seek Fabric to Replace Cotton.

Since the cotton supply of Austria
Hungary has been practically shut off
by the blockade, scientists and manu-
facturers have co-operated in devising
a paper fabric to replace it. number
of varieties of paper fabric are now in
actual service, Some of them have
warp of paper yarn and include mix
ture of cotton and paper in the filling.
Others are composed of paper alone.
Turkish cotton, which has ordinarily
been considered too poor to weave into
cloth, is utilized in this paper fabric,
as is also nettle fiber, which has been
found to possess great possibilities as
a cotton substitute. Old rags are being
converted into paper fabric used for
many of the purposes for which cotton
cloth is now used. Chemical processes
have toughened and strengthened the
paper fabric so as to Increase its de-
STABILITY.
