about 6 or s sections Of land includ-
ed in the grounds being covered with
wooden buildings. The work is not
nearly completed. Each building
is about so or go feet wide, about
1874 feet long, two stories high. Am
informed that each building will hold
about 200, which is the maximum for
one company. mean by holding
them, the building will quarter and
feed that many. When all is COM
pleted there will be about
1000 of these buildings. There are
about 1000 carpenters hammering
away and about 5000 laborers
working on the premises. Now /
will give you little of my personal
experiences: l left Liberal on the
9th of August (just six months ago)
and reached here next day about
noon. l walked one and half miles
carrying a grip weighing about forty
pounds to the commanding officers
station, where l made report. / was
then escorted to my quarters by SO
other rummies who are on the same
mission as myself and each one Of US
was assigned to very handsome quar-
tiers, consisting of one long room,
perhaps 200 feet long and 10 feet
wide, with a row of canvas cots on
either side. The cots are nesting
close together and the space is very
economically arranged. There are
two blankets and a pillow for each
cot. So you see ! am furnished a
room and 80 mates. The building is
made with 12-inch boards, the
cracks stripped, no plaster, no cell
ing, paper roof and good floor.
Being established in our room and
having the furniture arranged to
suit our taste, we were then organ
lied into a company and given in
structions as to what we should do
and more especially what we should
not do.
Here are a few of the things we
do: Get up at 5:15 a. m. (pretty
tough on the START roll call at $3.50
eat breakfast at 6 set up exercises
at 700. Now perhaps had better
tell what "set up exercises" mean
1t is a series of muscular movements
beginning with the fingers, twisting
them around in about one Thousand
different shapes, closing and open
ing fists about five hundred times
bending your head on neck, back
ward and forward, sidewise and cir
cular, say $50 times, then arms
trunk and so on and finally winding
up by playing leap-frog for abou
two hours until you are so blooming
tired that you don't know whethe

you are human or a mule, but
rather think you are mule. This
is the set up exercise, and it is done
in thirty minutes. At 7:30 we are
commanded to fall in, which means
to get in line in one and one half
seconds, march off in column Of AS
about a mile to the top of big hill
where we are drilled for one and one
half hours. At $50 we return to
camp, and each one of us usually
drink about four gallons of water to
replenish that lost by having ex-
creted eight gallons of sweat. After
this we are marched or rather we GO
mule fashino to one Of the airdomes
and listen to lecture for one hour.
When this is completed, we then hear
another hours lecture, then we go
to the bunk house, mean our fash
ionable quarters-and drink another
four gallons of water. We battle
our perspiring countenances and get
ready for the eats at IL, noon. Our
eats are par excellent, good sub
stantial grub such as meat, bread,
potatoes, beans, cabbage, pears, in
fact good variety well cooked,
plenty in quantity of food and serv-
ed by negro walters on long table
of pine boards mounted on horses
the length of 100 foot building.
The food is immensely enjoyed by
yours truly. After the lunch we
smoke (pipe) for one hour and then
hear more lectures. Next comes
the hike. Now that hike is some
thing worth while. We line up as
before and start out on. five mile
go at pace of 80 inch steps at a
rate of 1870 steps minute. After
going a mile, double time is order
ed for about three hundred yards,
which is a SO inch step at the rate
of 1870 per minute. Now call that
going some. Have never been on a
hike yet that there hasn't been at
least a dozen of the fellows fall out
and beat it back to camp at a very
much reduced rate of speed, or came
in in the rear much exhausted. When
back at camp we take shower bath
in water of temperature near AT
degrees below zero, then we are
ready to consume, or at least your
humble servant is, two pounds of
beef, half a loaf of bread, quarter
pound of butter, six ounces of po-

quarts of water or ice tea and other

DEMOCRAT FOREMAN
TO TYRONE, OKLA.
B. B. MILLER WILL PUBLISHTHE
OBSERVER AT THAT
PLACE

B. B. Miller, who has, been foreman
of the mechanical department Of the
Democrat since the present manage
ment took over the business, will go
to Tyrone Wednesday to take charge
of the Observer, and hereafter his
name will appear as publisher of that
paper, -
Ben is brother of the Demo-
crat man, and has been mechanical
foreman Of every paper he has own
ed. AS a printer he cannot be ex-
cslled, and as publisher of the Lang
don Leader, made decided success
of the editorial end of the business.
He disposed of that paper to come to
Liberal.
Tyrone is a good town and has
shown willingness to support good
paper. We feel safe in predicting
that the quality of the paper will not
suffer because of the change, and
that the people of Tyrone will give
the paper the same hearty support
they have in the past.
The new publisher will have access
to the Democrat plant at all times,
and as this plant has all modern
type and adsetting machines, he will
be enabled to handle wider range
of work than any small town paper
in the state.
Here's best wishes for the future
success of the Observer and the new
editor.

There was organized the other day
in Texas the best organization | know
of in the United States. it is called
Company A of Food Producers. 1t
was organized by the farmers Of that
country, who recognized the necessity
of more food being raised on the
farms, and it was agreed that at least
20 per cent more foodstuff would be
raised on each farm than had been
for the year 1915. angs
One hundred farmers signed during
the first forty-eight hours and this
club is called Company A. They are
now organizing Combany B. Petit
tions are now going out all over the
state and companies are being or
ganized in every county of the state.
We should all boost this work and
give it definite purpose
Who will organize Company A of
Food Producers in Sank county?
The Sank County Council of De-

Tense was recently organized that we,
as county, may do our full duty and
"serve together" for our nation. This

PLANS TO GROW
GREATER CROPS
County Superintendent G. W. Da-
vies Outlines Present Conditions
as to Food Production

We need volunteers. The bread bas-
ket is the first line of defense and it
will probably be the deciding factor
in the world war; The farmer holds
the strategic point Let us work most
effectively by working together Just
now the nation calls upon us to pro-
duce more food How may this be
done?
l. Every village and city family
may raise more of it's summer yege
tables, also supply for winter stor-
ing.
g Are there still any vacant, lots
or pieces of land in your community
not in use? Get them.
3. Some boys now in school may
be released for farm work. See the
school principal.
A. Plant only good seed corn. Test
before Smelling. Don't guess. Many
farmers have good seed for sale at So
per bushel.
5. Most of the lighter soils of the
county will grow good crops of white
navy beans. Beans furnish one of
the most valuable food products.
6. If any farmer has not sufficient
potato seed write at once to the Com
missioner of Agriculture, Madison.
Small potatoes for planting may be
secured at the warehouses at about
half price.
Z. More acres maye be titled, espe-
cially the old timothy meadows. This
means that farmers must have more
help. This help may be secured if all
the interests of the county work to-
gether. Public firms in our cities and
villages are planning to close all
houses Of business one day each week
and everybody from bank president
to office boy will spend the day work
ing on farms. Yes, these men and
boys can make hay, plow corn and
shock oats.
s. More help will permit better
tilIage, resulting in increased Yields
per acre. This is perhaps the most
important factor of all for more and
better cultivation will kill weeds, con-
serve moisture and make plant food
available Then we must not forget
fertilizers, and there are scores OF
old manure piles waiting to be hauled
out before corn and potato planting.
Then, too, let us heed the closing
words of the Governors Proclama-
ton, Food wasted is food taken from
someone who needs it"
9. The railroads have announced
to the public that they will allow the
use of railroads right-of-way and their
vacant property for the purpose OF
planting, free Of charge. Make appli-
cation to the local agent if you wish
