operatives became curious and made
inquiries. This wheat was part Of q
large supply which the Grain Corpora
ton had brought into the United States
to aid In keeping the American mills
running.
There was another reason. Domes-
tic wheat was not moving from the
farms as freely as the millers needed
It, and shortage forced the mills to
operate at a great disadvantage and,
according to them, at higher costs.
The last journey stage Of our first
bushel, although considerably changed
in its form, was to 60 as -four to port
under rush orders. It now had right
of way over all other classes Of freight
except other munitions of war. Con-
sent of the War Trade Board being
obtained, II was loaded on ship and
passed safely through the submarine
field to France. where It succored the
hungry.
We started out to follow the travels
of two bushels of wheat from the farm
to their points Of consumption under
war condition with the q. s. Food Ad-
ministration in control Of the market

Journeys Of these two bushels from

them passed on to a terminal, and
from the terminal to mill and from
the mill to seaboard. There II went to

A TRIBUTE TO nMlKE.0

When we hear OF General Allenby's
continued successes in the far away
land of Arabia, sometimes we forget
n our own midst we have a true Ameri-
can from Jerusalem.
His real name is Simon Abraham
Anton alias mike" He is not a ge-
MUS but true soldier, as near as pos
sible a military jumping jack All
kinds Of news may be extracted from
Mikes peculiar vocabulary, all kinds of
gas from his rumOrs.
Mike" was recently appointed COM
manderin A2hief Of officers quarters
and surroundings, Company T., 103rd
Engineers, and now that he has dis
carded us enlisted men you will al
ways find him on the job about f Of
ficers' row, for in the eyes of Mikes
mind the sun rises in~Captain Dolph's
head and sets in Lieut.. Bertly's feet.
Now, armies cannot get along with
out officers and officers cannot get
along without Mike" otherwise with
out Mikes, beans, officers and soldiers
there would be no armies.
Believe me, when the first note Of
the bugle strikes "Off to France"
Mike will be the first to hear the call,
for he Is a born soldier and true as
steel

dent and then chief engineer of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, wrote his name
large in the transportation history of the

With his pioneer construction corps he
rebuilt a bridge 100 feet long and 80 feet
high in fifteen hours; he put up the Po
feet above the water, in nine days.
In 1852 he was made chief of construc-
ton and transportation in the Depart
ment Of the Rappahannock and given
coloneIs rank becoming a brigadler gem
eral In 1883 This is the rank now held
by w. w. Atterbury vice-president of

BOXING AT Mo. 78,

large and enthusiastic crowd wit

Monday night; great interest was cen
tered in bout between Earnest Bar
rett of Company e, Tooth and Kid ia
cobs, of the same company this being
the feature of the evening, as there has
been keen rivalry between those two
clever boxers for some time. There
were five fast and furious rounds The
first round seemed to favor Jacsys,
also the second In the last three
rounds however, Barrett came in strong
showing the results Of his fine military
training. Coming IN with all the
strength and vigor Of fine young man
hood Jacobs was very clever through
out the five rounds, showing great
speed and endurance and with a little
training promises to be very clever
boxer.
The boys who engaged in the first
bouts showed considerable talent and
with the training they win receive from
the popular director Of athletics at rs
will easily maintain the reputation of
their respective companies.
