COPY of last weeks Register, the week

have been here since Wednesday
and begin TO feel ar home. Yesterday
saw 1895 receive their commissions
and hope to be in line about December
myself. They will surely work us TO
death if that is possible for they are
surely starting out right for that end.
We will come through though and then
the suspense will be over. have been
picked for an instructor in Arithmetic
and go tonight to find out how II is to
be done We have to teach only the
fundamentals so there will be nothing
to study but it will be some job for me
keep myself down TO just that.
We are kept in an observation battery
until we show that we are ready to 90
into the training battery and then We are
transferred. We hope to be moved over
in about two weeks and then the train
ing will start in earnest. We get most
ly Infantry drill now and we get the
real artillery after, as they say, we learn
soldering itself and they surely have
some high standard here.
This is surely some fine camp though
for it is practically all Artillery and is
the only Artillery training camp for
Officers.

Tomato-Canning Day.

The women'S committee of the Coun-
Gil of National Defense is to have
tomato canning day on Friday in the
kitchen of the college dormitory. The
object is to put up as many tomatoes
as possible TO be sold for the Red Cross.
The recent hot weather has done so
much harm in many of our war-gardens
that the crop is short, but everyone
who has any TO spare, even few, is
asked TO communicate with the Chair
man, Mrs. Lee Goldsborough. If the
giverS cannot themselves bring or send
the tomatoes, volunteers will call for
them. A corps of workers is also ask
ed for, TO meet at the dormitory at eight
o'clock on Friday morning, or as soon
after as possible. All who have time
to give for this good work are ask to
let Mrs. Goldsborough or Mrs. Harri-
son know. Only tomatoes will be can
ned this time. In response to a num-
Der of requests, Miss Alger will make a
few glasses of jelly, to demonstrate the
use of corn-syrup in preserving fruit
but no donations are asked for this, as
the materials have already been
promised.
