CHEERFUL NEWS
Rep. Olney of Massachusetts,, dur
ing the debate on the Army appropri-
alton bill, made this pleasing revela-
ton to the House:
Questions naturally arise in our
minds with respect to clothing of the
Army. Are all men now in the serv-
ice fully equipped? The latest from
the Quaremaster Department is that
they are fully equipped. Are they
fully equipped as they 60 into the
service! They are fully equipped as
they have gone into the service, and
there is q reserve supply for every
soldier in uniform today of from two
to three months. It may interest the
House to know that provisions have
been made at all the cantonments to
provide clothing for 23S,O0O men on
going into the environments be-
tween now and the first of July and
q full outfit Is now awaiting the men
at the camps.
Some of these items may interest
the House, such as shoes. The total
purchases to May, 1918, of field shoes
were 1855, 900 pairs; marching
shoes, II 1910, 900 pairs. OF the orig
inal orders for 100000 pairs Of
shoes, 100000 pairs of shoes have

After all, has the man or woman
who has all week in which to get q
single item to the paper and then for
gets it till the last moment, got very
much on the poor editor, If he, in his
final roundup should overlook but not
intentionally, the one little item, or
perhaps some other little item that he
or she might feel should have been in
the paper! Some people seem to get
the idea that II they have a social af-
fair Of any kind that the editor should
by intuition know Of it-and more
that he should hunt them up and urge
them to give the desired information
concerning the details. Now, that is
all very well where the paper can at
ford society editor, who has nothing
else to do but to snoop around for
such things. But this community will
not and cannot support = paper Of
such magnitude, and while the editor
II always pleased to have the news of
your social affairs he does not have
the time to hunt you up, always, to
get the particulars. While we have
no cause for complaint. yet how much
better It would below much more
we could please you and how much
better II would be all around II you
would at least do your part to see
that the items in which you are inter
ested get to the paper In good time.
