the division Thursday, applies both to

Indian Drinps Name With Him.
A strapping big Sioux Indian from
tho reservation in North Dakota re
ported for duty last week. He gave his
name as John Brought Plenty. He
said that his name did not indicate
that he brought anything with him ex-
cept desire to get whack at the
kaiser. Two other Indians reported
with John from the Sioux reservation
in North Dakota. They left families
behind but dismissed questions of de-
pendency by declaring their squawss
had heap much land and plenty OF
food and would not starve.' They
were assigned to the 35lst infantry.
Men Wanted IN Pigeon Department.
1t is q difficult matter to find men
versed In pigeonology. The carrier
pigeons have proved under actual
fighting conditions that this manner OF
transmitting messages is about nine'
ty-seveii per cent efficient. The great
est importance is attached to the work
of the birds. their training and breed
ing. ... -.
At Camp Dodge the government was
fortunate enough to find number OF
soldiers who had had experience in.
this line. The pigeon detachment has
been formed and q number OF men as
signed.
Men below the draft age or between
twenty.one and eighteen years or over
the draft age and between thirty-one
and fOrty-ive years may enlist and be
assigned to this work. Hundreds OF
piseonaires are needed by the govern
ment before the carrier pigeon service
can attain the desired proportions.
Those who wish to enlist or desire
further information should write Maj.

Exchanges Do Ia Thriving Business.
The Army Canteen is the title sol.
diers in the war of the rebellion called
places where Yankee Notions and
various refreshments were to be had.
The capteen afterwards became dis
credited because it finally became to
the regular army after the war moth
ing but a cheap saloon and a few years
ago was outlawed. Places where
things may be procured are now called
rcgimental exchanges.
Many of the exchanges in camp re-
scmble little country stores. They
carry almost everything. and in one
corner sits aFtailor buslly sewing away
on uniforms. The average days re-
ceipts in any one Of the exchanges is
about $500.
Patriotic pennants and pillows sell
and its hard work for the sol.
dier merchants to keep enough OF
them in stock. The exchanges stay
open until 3 o'clock at night and are
usually thronged with soldiers.
