NO WASTE IN ARMY CAMPS
Conservation and Reclamation DiVi-
sion Obtains Maximum Utilization
of All Materials.

One of the most .insidious pieces OF
German propaganda which the govern
ment has to combat appears In the
form of rumors concerning excessive
wastes of all foodstuffs and supplies
In our army camps and environments.
A glance at the work OF the conserva-
ton and reclamation division Of the
army readily establishes the falsity
of these reports.
The aim Of the conservation and
reclamation division is to obtain the
maximum utilization Of all materials
of service, to reduce the waste Of
these materials to a minimum, to de-
stroy nothing, and to dispose of all ma
terial useless to the army at the great
est profit possible.
No restrictions are placed upon our
soldiers appetites, but the highest care
is exerted to prevent the soldier from
taking more on his plate than he wants
i'm other words, much of the food
that formerly was lost through care
lessness is now saved. The reclama-
ton officer and his assistants in every
camp and every cantonment are re-
sponsible for the separating and the
classifying of kitchen waste, produced
in the preparation and serving of every
meal at the mess; the object Of this
careful separation and classification
of kitchen waste is to prevent vast
age.
The division also has active charge
Of farming and garden operations for
each camp and cantcnment. The rod
nee raised Is used in rationing troops
and providing animals with forage.
No men fit for active duty are re-
quired to assist In this agricultural
service. The quartermaster general
of the army has a much more efficient
ulan, for he has this work done by in
termed aliens, enemy prisoners. con-
scientfous directors and military pris-
oners. OF our own enlisted men only
those physically unsuited for service
| overseas or partially disabled are as
signed to this agricultural work. It is
| believed that after a few months Of
outdoor work, many of the men now
unfit will so improve physically that
they will become at for transfer to
fighting units. Thus the army will
reclaim men as well as materials and
supplies.
The boys at the front and at camps
and environments in this country also
are setting a standard In conservation
and reclamation which is magnificent.
They are doing their utmost to see
that every penny invested in the cause
of democracy, through Liberty Bonds
and otherwise, Ia utilized efficiently.

other luxuries to such an extent that
he seldom had a cent to apply to any
worthy cause, such as the care of his
family or the upkeep of the church
AS a result of Heber's regularity in
blacksliding, therefore, for a dozen
years or more the church folks never
baptized him. They just sort of let
him slide along, and, when immersion
day finally arrived he usually was
out behind his trotting horse. at a
cock fight, or at some other place
scarcely fitted for converts.
Finally. though, the church authOri-
ties got tired of Heber's professions
of faith and their subsequent flatten-
ing out, and when the next revival
started, along in the spring, and he
began to show signs of interest, they
advised him that his confession would
be received only with the understand
ing that immersion should follow i'm
mediately. He thought the matter
over for three days and then agreed
to join that night and be baptized
without delay. And, sure enough. he
arrived bright and early, and, when
the going got good he Joined up for

Baptized Him in Flood.
Unfortunately. just as the meeting
started, a terrific storm arose and the
subsequent cloudburst flooded the
country, Coal Creek, where the baptiz-
ing was to take place, being particu'
larly swollen. This situation made
the baptizing somewhat dangerous,
but the authorities agreed that it was
their only chance to get Heber, 50,
after church. with the repentant sim
ner in tow, and armed with lanterns
they filed down to the creek for the
baptiZing.
Stories differ as to how Heber, just
as he was being immersed, escaped
the officiating pastors hands, some
saying he wriggled cut and others
maintaining that he slipped. but, any
how. he disappeared in the darkness
