SOLDIER BOYS

Corporal Ivan r. Burnham. Co. L.
56th Pioneer Infantry, a sherman
Mills boy, recently made a fine rec
ord at shooting a. the Spartanburg,
S c., camp. He used an automatic
AS calibre pistol and scored 81 bulls
eyes out of a possible SIS, the highest
score ever made on the Camp Wads-
worth range. Three classes of fine
were used in the contest: Number
target, slow fire; number 2 target,
quick fire 10 seconds in which to
shoot five rounds; and number 3 tar
get, a vanishing target being visible
only three seconds. The miss that
kept Corporal Burnham from max
ing a perfect score was made in the
quick firing, the bullet striking just
outside the bulls eye.
Fort Fairfield Review-As is we'll
known, the story that Preston Libby
Of Fort Fairfield was killed in France
two or three weeks ago got pretty
well circulated. The report appar-

ported in the papers as killed. 1t
seems that Peter Libby should have
been credited to Plaisted, where he
enlisted, instead Of Fort Fairfield. At
last accounts Preston Libby was alive
and doing a good job for Uncle Sam.

Your western sands have known before !;
They came to pledge, and to repeat,
In blossomed foam, and surge and beat,
The word that says all things to you,
And you to us-across the blue,

With messaged aim and crowded note,
But iterate what has been said,
A living covenant with dead,

Has pressed a seal, has stamped a word,
That men and ships and guns have
