That ''makeshift" feeding attachment

he has added small funnel so as to

Arbuckle's home is on the Thomas
Brockman farm, in LYDIA township, Ma
con county, Missouri, and Mr.. Brock
man says he has never had a more
capable workman. When dinner time
comes and the men gather about the
table, Arbuckle's food Is brought to
him in bowls and cups, he gets out his
rubber tube and funnel and enjoys his

Arbuckle takes no water from Sep

say that think the Young man WIS
about right. San Antonio has about
everything except the navy.
San Antonio is a charming old
Southern city in high and dry part
of Texas. II has 4 decided Mexican
appearance. with a large Mexican pop
ulaiion. II has probably 10000 peo
pie who belong here. And at the
present time there are from 10000 to
100000 soldiers and men in training

BILE is that the folks from Colorado

in. Wherever l go ! find Colorado
folks making the same talk. Even in

Texas was very fortunate in the
distribution of army cartonments and
military camps of every kind. The
governm ent he's been very kind and
generous to Texas. Colorado has
none. Kansas has one. Missouri has
none you ever heard OF. Texas has
eighteen or twenty of one class
or another. and some of them
are the largest in the U. S. A.
OF course Texas has Democrats in
Congress. but so has Colorado. 1t may
be that the Texas congressman stand
in with the government better than
the Colorado congressman. 1t may be
that our congressman were 50 busy
with other things they didn't think
about this camp business until it was
too late 1t may be that Col. House
comes from Texas.
Anyway. the fact stands out promi-
nently to any person who stops to
think about it that Colorado. with the
best year-around climate in the world
for training purposes. or for any pur-
pose, has not a single training camp
of any kind, while Texas. with the hot
test climate in the summer and cold.
shfvery winter climate. has eighteen
or twenty. So surely the climate has
nothing to do with it, altho some try
TO explain that it was on account or
the climate that the camps We're TO-
Gated in Texas.
However, il you want to see sol
dier life in all its phases and canton
ments and training camps of every
nature you can find them convent
emily located in punches in Texas. So
from the standpoint of the person who
wants to see things there may be
some good reason for punching them.
