Do Your Bit
This plant can play a large part in
this war, according to Superintend-
ent Irons and he has placed bulletins
through the plant asking each en-
ploye to DO His Bit" The bulletin
follows:
The President in his procla-
nation calls attention to the
fact that while the navy is being
placed on an effective war foot
made to train and equip a great
army, there is still a greater
task to be performed, namely,
our farms, shipyards, mines,
factories, mills and other in
duStrieS must be made as eff
ficient as possible, with increas-
ed production, to enable us to
furnish supplies and munitions
not only for ourselves but for
our allies.
ITO accomplish this the Coun-
Gil for National Defense is pre-
pairing plans to keep at home
skilled mechanics in the muni-
ton and other industries doing
government work rather than
waste their valuable skill and
training in sending them as SOL
diers to the front.
"At different times we have
furnished plates for battleships,
submarines and destroyers. We
are expected to play a certain
part in this war and it is only a
question of time when we will
be engaged in government work.
We, therefore, appeal to all our
employees to show their patriot
ism by being sober, industrious,
efficient. Enter into your work
with the spirit that achieves,
and in so doing you will serve
your country as effectively as
men on the battlefield or in the
trenches.

who serves it well.

A GREAT BANQUET
The s54th Has a Most Enjoyable
Time.

The first of series of banquets to
be given in the regiment was honored
by the presence of General VIM, who
gave us the keen pleasure of hearing
his Interpretation of the great prob
lem ahead of us The general, having
been a schoolmaster of General Per
shine, was able to tell many incidents
in his life bearing on his extreme ca
pability for the task before him. As
the general Spoke we began to know
General Pershing; he seemed more
vivid and capable to US and we finally
fully realized the force in his express
sion, 1.-THE German can be beaten, the
German must be beaten, the German
will be beaten"
Since we conceive General Pershing
as the acme of efficiency, speaking of
one leads to the other. General Winn
thought the officers needed to get
completely away from their work and
all thought of it during the few mo-
mehts of rest they have each day.
Regimental banquets, battalion messes
or better, regimental mess, would
go far toward increasing the efficiency
of the personnel by giving the officers
the proper relaxation. He said he
would like to see a Cantonment Off
GERS club. Such things lead to better
cohesion and a higher spirit of frater-
nal loyalty among the officers.
The 354th is our Missouri regiment.
General Pershing is a Missouriah and
to show that he remembered the men
from the state of his birth, he sent a
message to the Missouri troops. telling
them the great confidence he placed
in them, the hopes he had of Seeing
them delivering results that would
name them the Flower of the Army
SO, as men from Missouri. men of
whom our chief expects such great
things, we were urged by General
10 a
ed such trust well placed.
In addition to promoting and plan
ming the banquet. Colonel Mitchell act
ed as POSTMASTER, calling on the fol-
lowing speakers. who he said he be-
lieVed to be bursting with elouuence,
which proved to be true:

contained coffee at the breakfast table
contained sugar in the bottom when
they were returned to the kitchen. It
was therefore necessary to find a
means of getting the full benefit of
the sugar each man uses and the
method was easily found.
A general order was issued last week
which takes out of the hands of the
individual the matter of putting one,
two or three spoonfuls of sugar in his
coffee and then stirring it until it suits
his taste. Most people like coffee
either "sweetened" or "unsweetened,"
and the general order provides that
the cooks shall sweeten the coffee be-
fore serving it to the men. Seven
ounces of sugar is a maximum for
each gallon of coffee, when it is al
lowed to dissolve and not remain in
the bottom-wasted. The men who
want their coffee without sugar are
provided from another lot of the cof-
fee prepared in the kitchen without
sugar.

GREETINGS
Colonel Reeves of the All-Kansas Is
sues Letter.

Col James H. Reeves, commanding
officer of the Arkansas, $500 inten-
try. passed high compliments on the
Kansas troops for the efficient work
thew have done in the few weeks they
have been in the service of the United
States The following greetings are
contained in a letter issued to the
troops:
ITO the men of the various organi-
cations, and more especially to the
Kansas men. l wish at this season OF
Christmas greetings and cheer, to ex-
press my most sincere congratulations.
I wish also to express my heartiest ap-
probation for the wonderful progress
the Kansas men have made in the mil
itary service in the comparatively few
weeks they have been with us.
when the stalwart Kansas youths
are received into the service it is an
assured fact that they will eventually
become soldiers whose records will
make their mother state proud of
them.
1T happens that the 35Srd infantry
is proud of the mother state The
good soldier, 1 have found IN my
years of military service. is the moral
soldier. So we are trying in every
possible manner to better the general
physical and moral welfare of the
Kansas men in this command. In
the betterfnent of the soldiers en-
stiles is a building in which the sol
der can ejoy himself completely. For
this purpose, and this alone, we are
now constructing a recreational hali
large enough to comfortably seat
every man in the regime~t. This re-
creational hall will furnish place
where the boys may congregate for
entertainments, athletic events and
ether amusements. 1t will be equipped
with rest and reading rooms, a library
in which will be found the latest
magazines, books and newspao o T5, an
old fashioned fireplace, and n COM
fortably arranged room where the
home folks may bring their dina r
and eat in quiet and contentment with
their boys, and many oth7: comforts
now unknown to the Kansas regiment
To the Kansas people who have given
US the fund for this purp Jse is due
the largest amount of praise. They
have been as Kansas people always
are, generous in the appreciation Of
their young soldier manhood.
with the heartiest greetings OF the
Christmas season and with best wishes
for every man in the military service
1 am sincerely yours,
JAMES H. REEVES,
Colonel 353rd infantry"
