Your real training for your duties
as a soldier will begin after you ana
your comrades are assembled at the
training camps. However, there are
few simple things you can do dur
ing the next few weeks which will
be decided value in getting you star
ted along the right lines.
The simplest thing, and perhaps
the most useful of all, is 20 begin a.
once to practice correct habits o.
standing and walking. Even in civi-
han life a mans reputation in his
communities, and for that matter
his own self-respect-is determined
to a surprising extent by his bearing.
The man who slouches feels like a
SLOUGH. The man who holds his head
up faces the world with confidence
and courage.
Ii this is true in, civilian life, 1t is
ten times more true in military life.
For soldier must always be strong
ly marked by his snap, his precision,
and his vigor He can not have these
traits unless he carries himself like
soldier.
The Bearipe ose-ts SaIdias,
Few people without military train
ing have correct idea of what is
meant by the position and the bear
ing of soldier. They are apt to
imagine that it means a strut or an
extremely strained attitude. Or
more frequently, they think that the
term can properly be applied to any
erect position. The truth of the
case, however. is that there is a
definite procedure to follow in order
to place yourself in what is known
in the army as the position of a SOL
der" it is the position which the
dismounted soldier always assumes
at the command Attention." eXcep.
as 1t may be slightly modified to en-
able him to carry properly any arms
he may have in his hands
:. 1t will be well for you to memorize
paragraph 81 of the Infantry Drill
Regulations, which gives the com
plete and accurate description of tne
position of the soldier. This para
graph is slightly parapnrased ana
simplified in the description follow
ing: Keep in mind that there are
ten elements which must be properly
adjusted to each other, and check
yourself up to see that each one of
them is properly placed:

SHORT PASTURE HITS TWO Ways

College Park, Aug. 23.-Cows that
come fresh in the spring give good
fow of milk during that season when
pasture is abundant. When pastures
become short, the flow Of milk Will de-
crease unless the pasture is supple

grain mixture. If the milk flow is per-
mitted to decrease during the season

Of the first few months cannot be re-
covered when pasture becomes abund-
ant in the fall.
This means that the yearly produc-
ton of milk is several hundred pounds
less than it should be owing to the
fact that the cows were short of feed
for a few weeks during the hot, dry
season.
Where silage or soiltng crops are
not available the following grain mix
