methods employed in German

Stop Look Listen

Never depend on the "other
fellow" to look out for you. Do
that yourself, and especially at
a railroad crossing. With the
increasing number of automo-
biles, there is also an increase IN
the number of accidents, the big
percent of which occur at grade
crossings.
All trainmen have recently re-
ceived instructions TO take every
precautIon to avoid accidents,
and the press has been appealed
to in order to have the people
exercise more care.
If everyone would observe the
time worn advice-''StOp, look,
and listen"-there never would
be an accident, but unfortunate.
ly, too many think because they
never have had an accident that
they never will.
You may see a train coming,
and conclude you can beat it,
and perhaps you will, but-in
the event that you do not, then
what, and who is to blame?
Don't take any chances, it may
cost you your life-stop look,
and listen, before you pass a
rail read crossing.

Through the patriotic spirit and CO

they need, more especially those fol
hospital garments and patients cloth

who sell to them at special Red Cross
prices.
Chapters are showing that they
have a great understanding of bust

that owing to the scarcity Of materials
due to war causes, and owing to thu
great congestion Of the railroads, 1

At Camp Travis

The Webster Hultt referred to in
the following article is a brother to
Mrs. John Runkle of Meade. He
spent part of last summer here
and expects to get furlough soon,
part of which he expects to spend
In Meade.
Camp Travis, Tex, March "a
The smell of exploding powder, the
sing of steel bullets, and the trials
and tribulations of army life "in the
field" are experiences that members
of the 4oth company, I65th Depot
Brigade, have had recently during
their days of campaigning in and
around the Camp Bulls Target
Range, 40 miles northwest OF San
Antonio.
Buglar Webster w. Huitt of this
county is a mem1er of the 4oth
company, which is commanded by
Capt. Lucius O'Bryan, formerly of
San Benito, Texas aud had his full
share in the target range maneu-
vers.
In addition to shooting on the
rife range, members of the 4oth
company received their first taste
of combat gring. Buglar Huitt had
an important part in all the sham
battles.
The campaigning began when
members of Capt. O'Bryan's con-
pany shouldered the packs, along
with nearly a thousand a:her sol-
ders of democracy, and marched 2I
miles in less than eight hours to
Camp Bulls. For many of the, men
it was their first long hike across
country.
And hungry Between II and
G2 o'clock in the morning, every
man in the column was ready to
swear that his throat was cut. Eat
least everyone's stomach had re-
treated to his backbone and was CRY
ing for food.
Shortly after a o'clock mighty
shout went up from the head of the
long khaki clad column that was
winding like a snake through the
rocky hills of Camp Bulls. The
reason for the shout soon came
bounding along the long column oi
tired soldiers that the days march
would soon be ended.
All members of the 4oth company
slept in tents during their stay a,
Camp BullIes. All the men seemed
to enjoy their participation in the
war manouvers and marched the "a
miles back to Camp Travis like ole
veterans. Isabel Star.
