JULESBURG BOY
WRITES HOME
Lloyd Stevenson Writes About
Uncle Sans Army. Now
Located at Fort Sam HOus-
ton, Texas

We are glad to publish the follow
ing letter, recently received by Roy
E. Stevenson of this city, from his
brother, Lloyd, former Julesburg
boy, who is now in the United States
army, and located at Fort Sam Hous-
ton, Texas, doing his "bit" for his
country:
Fort Sam Houston. Texas.
Dear Brother Roy:
Well here goes this morning for a
letter to you while the time and op-
portunity is at hand. This being Sun
day and holiday for US, we are al
lowed to use the greater portion of
the day as we see fit.
Well, every part of Uncle Sans
great war machine is running along
smoothly at Fort Sam Houston. Sol
diers are pouring in here from all
parts of the United States at present
from as far east as Ohio, and from
as far north as the state of Washing
ton. This is getting to be quite a
mobilization center now Soldiers ar

six pair drawers and six undershirts,
also one hat cord. AS you know there
are several branches of the service.
The way of telling to what branch a
man belongs is by the color of his
hat cord. For instance, the color of
the Infantry hat cord is blue; of the
Cavalry, yellow, and of my own, the
quartermaster, orange. All commits
stoned officers wear hat bands. the
color, black and gold. That is the
best way of discerning an officer and
as to whether he is man you must
salute. We are always required to
salute an officer and through cour-
tesy, he returns the salute.
While the non-commlssloned Off
GERS Of the Quartermaster's Corps
work in the offices, yet that does not
restrict or retain US from our regular
morning drill exercises. We drill
every morning from seven until eight
O'Clock. half of the time being devoted
to exercises and the other half to
the regulation army marching drills.
We do not have arms of any Kind
however. The reason for drilling the
office men is to keep them in good
health and should the occasion arise
when they were in dire need of fight
ing men, we would not be absolutely
green. Our first morning out at the
drill, we were showered completely
with the reprimands of our Captain

officers and personally I have been

Our food or "Chew," as it is term

of heavy foods. Beans, as you all

We also have shower baths which
are the best part of the whole army.
After good drill when one is wet
with perspiration, a good cold shower
bath is some fine doings. I take one
every day and don't think I could do
without it now. Uncle Sam tries to
guard his boys from disease of all
kinds, yet in spite of all they can do,
disease creeps in and claims some for
its victims.

the army, yet YOU would not begin

it very well, but let me impress up
on you that person looking for a

pointed upon entering the service. We
all try and are more or less cheerful
in camp, yet there are those days in
which person meets with obstacles
that tender to make him discouraged.

ROOSEVELT MAY 60
Believes President Will Sign AM
ended Army Bill

The war army bill will become
a law and before the end of the
week the comprehensive plans of
the War Department for raising a
force to fight Germany will be in
motion. ConfereeS Of the senate
and house agreed upon the bill
Tuesday, deciding to retain the
senate amendment under which
Col. Roosevelt may, be authorized
to raise not more than four divis-
ions of infantry for service in
France.
It was thought for a while that
President Wilson would not agree
to the bill with the Roosevelt en-
dorsement in it. The administra-
ton opposed attaching any vol
unteer provision to the selective
draft plans, but it is now gener-
ally believed the president will
sign the measure when it reaches
him. The bill as it stands NEARLY
would authorize, not require, the
recruiting of volunteer force for
service in France.

the Rule

1t will soon be q general govern

authorities have finished gathering
figures showing that in Tennessee
and Arkansas there are about
5000 idle men. black and white,
who are eligible for farm work,
especially in the western and moth
ern harvest fields.
These men can obtain positions
if they will apply to j. I. Ware,
room 80, Federal building Mem
phis, who has been authorized to
secure several thousand from that
section to aid farmers in harvest
ing the wheat crop.
THE men," said Mr.. Ware.
will be paid SO per day and up,

harvest June s. Five thousand
men. it is officially stated, will be
required to handle that harvest.
Five times that number is wanted.
Persons who will communicate
with Mr.. Ware between June
and 10 will be directed to employ

STRAWBERRY CROP
Yield Short, But Prices Are fold
ing Reasonably High

The strawberry crop in Carroll
county is cut short on account Of
the unfavorable weather conditions.
But since the weather has warmed
up some the berry has ripened bet.
terand more satisfactory shipments
are being made. The quality OF
tho fruit is fine and good prices
are being paid.
This is the first year the straw
berry has been grown in the Hunt
ingdon community in quantities
large enough to ship. Several
parties put out plants last year
and those who gave proper atten-
ton to their plants are realizing
handsomely out of the yield, al
though the crop was cut short by
the bad weather.
While our growers have been
handicapped on account of bad
shipping facilities, yet they are
realizing good money out of the
crop, and the strawberry senti-
ment is stronger here than ever
before. Many of our people are
to put out larger acre
age, and very likely within a year
or so we will grow enough berries
to ship by car load lots.
