FOR THE PARENTS
Commander At Receiving
Station Just Like a Faith
er, Says Recruit

Ralph A. Beard Of Fargo. formerly
Of the agricultural college faculty
son of DIR. and Mrs. r. A. Beard, Far
20, writes most interestingly to his
mother of Jefferson Barracks, No.,
of which so much has been heard re-
Gently, but of which so little is
known.
Jefferson Barracks is the post to
which many of the recruits are sent
from the northwest.
"Let me explain a little about the
nature of the post here" writes Mr..
Beard, a recent recruit. JEFFERSON
Barracks is a receiving station for
all branches of the service, infantry,
cavalry, artillery, aviation, engineers,
etc. Recruits for the different
branches come here from various
states, are examined, and if accept
ed, are stationed here until the
branch of the service they are. going
into. is ready to receive them.
Comforts of Home.
II wish you could come and visit
here and see for yourself, just how
we are situated. 1t would open your
eyes. We have almost all the COM
forts of home. Let me enumerate
some of the things which go toward
making the life of the soldier at this
barracks more than comfortable.
First, clothes-one coat, overcoat,
two pairs of trousers, two shirts,
three suits of heavy underwear, six
pairs of socks, two pairs of shoes,
leggings, hat, brush. comb. tooth
brush, soap, two towels.
''All your laundry work is done for
YOU at 80 cents a week. Our cots are
comfortable. Our bedding consists
of a good mattress and canvas COW
er, together with three blankets. Our
sleeping quarters are heated by
stoves and lighted by electric lights.
Each company has. three BARRIERS,

and in each company quarters, there
are shower baths.
The grub is excellent. Sunday we
get a little extra. This morning for
breakfast we had scrambled eggs,
and ham, fried spuds, corn flakes and
milk. bread and butter, an orange
and coffee. We get all we want OF
most things. We all eat together In
an immense mess hall. At mess CALL
which sounds at 11:45 q. m. for din
ner; 4:45 D. m. for supper, and 6:45
a. m. for breakfast, we all line up in
front Of our respective quarters and
march in columns of four to the
mess hall, where we march in from
all sides Of the buildings. It must
be an immense task to feed so many,
but the system is so perfect there
is very little confusion.

Father to His Boys.
THE talk Of the post commander
was like a father talking to his boys.
He emphasized the fact that an eff
flcient army could be built up only
on basis of courtesy and clean liv-
ing in every sense of the word. His
talk was listened to very attentive
ly and what he said went home to
every one of us. He was truly in
spring.
"As we left the lecture room after
this talk, scarcely a word was spok-
en-, but you can be certain that every
one of US, as we filed out, was think
ing deeply, a determination to uphold
the honor Of our uniform, our flag,
and country, and If necessary, to make
the supreme sacrifice in order that
the ideals that this nation has so
long cherished may still dominate
the world. Colonel Murray, the COM
mander, had a special word that
would be of interest to mothers. He
said:
Boys, write your mothers often.
You owe it to them and yourselves.
Write cheerful letters. Don't write
