Mr.. and Mrs. A.. T. Horton. accom-

joyed "A bountiful repast at the home

and Mr.. Ryger both lived in Grant

as the Grant County Twins" And
If you don't believe that the nickname
was appropriate, you just should see
them together to be convinced. Rum
has it though that Mr.. Ryger uses
a little more of the tape measure
than does Mr.. Horton, when measur-

The meetings at the tabernacle, OPP

held nightly, with the exception of
Mondays, the past week. Sunday the
attendance was the largest since the
meetings started, though there was
room for a few more in the rear. The
week day evening meetings have not
been as well attended as the previous
week. While the weather and walk
ing were good the prayer meetings
held in the private houses in the
mornings had a fair attendance. This
sudden cold snap will attest the devo-

We get enough to eat and | will noe

Hope | do not get sick if we go
across as | have heard it is not a
pleasant feeling. How long does it
last when you get it?
Well we are drilling every day and
getting along fine. The artillery drill
is quite a lot different than infantry.
| like it a lot better though. Well, it
is getting pretty cold here-the air
is snappy and so damp-a lot differ
ent than South Dakota. If it was as
cold there as it feels here it would
be about 20 below.
Well as it is getting late and chilly,

from you soon, as ever your friend,

chances seem good of our staying

may leave in a few hours. Our drill

The quezal of Guatemala is consider
ed the most beautiful bird In the world.
Its plumage vies with the rainbow and
shines with a metallic luster. Until
within the last few years 1t was I'M
known to science, mainly owing to the
fact that 1t is hermit among the feath-
cred creatures, delighting In the silence
of high attitudes. 1t dwells on noun
tain heights above 1000 feet in eleva-
ton. The quezal was the royal bird of
the Aztecs, and its plumes were used to
decorate the headdresses and cloaks
of the kings of that land. Its breast Is
a brilliant scarlet, while its green tail
attains length of three feet. 1t is

MORE MILITARY TRAINING IN OUR
COLLEGES.

II is probable that the colleges are pre-
pairing 10 increase their attention to the
military departments during the coming
collegiate year because there is realiza.
tion that prolonged war will cause
situation which will demand large
number of officers. The colleges which
aave military departments cannot fur
nish more than very small percentage
of the officers needed to command the
American forces abroad there will have
to be promotions from the ranks as the
men prove themselves competent in bat
tie or in camp. However, the colleges
can do their part toward providing Off
GERS by devoting more time than ever to
the science of military training, and
every one of the institutions should rise
to the occasion and devote part of the
time for instruction to military matters.
The University of Vermont and Norwich
university, which, along with Harvard,
have again been placed by the war de-
partment as in the distinguished class,
may be expected to 60 into military af-
fairs even more assiduously than usual.
Norwich, especially, has been accustomed
to devote large proportion of its in
struction to the work of training men
to be soldiers or commanders of soldiers
and ii has demonstrated its value to the
nation time and time again. Both these
colleges have United States army officers
assigned to them as commandants and
professors of military science. There
lore, let them redouble their efforts to
urn out men who are capable of taking
of men. 1t will be only fair
eturn to the government and 1t will be,
only proper expression OF
DEVOTION to the government.

That review of American troops BY

the case hereafter Such a surmise is
reasonable. inssmuch as the earlier ar

busily engaged in learning the art Of
war as it is conducted on the western

hibit new arrivals rather than to take
