TEXAS SURE FINE
SAYS MOLINE LAD
joe Brown Writes Happy Letter From
Camp Logan to Father Telling
of Cantonment Life.

"Bucky and Bob are trying to figure
out a way to die and have their folks,
collect the insurance and then they'll
come back and help spend 1t. But
Ralph and tell them it can't be done,'
says Joe Brown in a letter which he
has written to his father, W. L.
Brown, 2514 Sixteenth street, Moline,
from Camp Logan, Houston, Texas.
The missive, which is full Of references
to Plow city boys, serves to illustrate
the happy, winning spirit which ie
characteristic of brave American
young manhood, even in the face OF
International emergency.
Joe says that the boys in Battery F,
One Hundred Twenty-third artillery.
find opportunity to ride the range and
to shoot and that some OF them are be-
coming quite expert at it ~
Continuing he adds:
THE range is three miles wide and
20 miles long and our guns do LIS miles
easy. We shoot by yards, from 5000
to $4,000 yards. l have been doing
range riding for almost two weeks. On
the lower part of the range there are
$4,000 head of cattle and the govern
ment is responsible for all dead cattle.
There is a. detail of men picked
from every battles to ride range to
keep the cattle out of the danger zone
and you sure have to be a rider be-
cause sometimes stray she'll dropA
around close and the cattle start mill
ing and then it is up to you and the
other fellows to get them going the
! other direction.
I'VE work eight hour shifts; on
eight hours, off Is hours. But we are
not allowed in camp. We stay out on
the plains day and night and cook our
own meals There are 20 Of us, seven
men on a shift and the other stay
around close SO that II the cattle get
ratified they can lend a hand.
II have seen a lot of this kind of
work in moving pictures and I never
thought would ever get a job doing it.
1t is not much fun; 1t is lot Of hard
| work sitting in the saddle eight hours
a day, and sometimes you have to ride
hard. The artillery range is 26 miles
from Camp Logan and we are camp
ing out 16 miles from the men who
are working on the guns.
"They shoot shrapnel and you ought
to see them when, the shells burst in
the air or see the hole they make in
the ground when they hit. When they
| get to shooting fast you imagine you
are in France the way the ground
trembles and shakes.
| "The country out here Is fiat and so
level that you can see for miles and
miles without finding tree. think
it is great. But when a man puts in
eight hours in the saddle he doesn't
think of the scenery. You just get
your meals and grab your blankets,
roll up on the ground and use your
saddle for, pillow just like in the
days you used to read about, and sleep
like trooper.
I'VE have rabbits every meal, young
jackrabbits and often cottontails. We
carry ASS and shoot many of them so
we have rabbit any way We want to eat
lit. There are jack rabbits down here
! as old as Texas and just as tough.
There are also lots of ducks but there
are too many feathers to suit us.
/ 'The boys all send their regards and
ask me to tell you that Texas is fine
place but that they have seen better,
