CAMP LIFE IF SOLDIERS
 DEVELOPS PHILOSOPHERS

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April G. Getting used to the army" a state of mind which many young civilians are seeking to achieve, has developed many overnight philosphies.
 A youth accustomed to get up and go to bed when he pleased, and to spend the day on the same sort of schedule, confided to friend here re gently that it all depended upon the point of view.
 When 1 hear that bugler blowing reveille at 5:45 a. m. it doesn't get on my nerves a bit" he said. q think to myself, Isn't it great to have a man hired to tell you when to get up in the morning?' and that makes it good sport.
 When I see my captain going up the street, I reflect that I'm in the care of more experts and specialists than I could employ if I were a mil. lionaire, all looking after me, to see that I have plenty of clothing and food and am kept in good health.
 "The sergeant who puts us through our paces at setting-up exercises, probably is just as good as any man I could employ, if I were wealthy, to keep my body in good shape.
 "On top of it all, get paid, and not a day goes by without new expert ence and a good laugh
 Its better luck than I ever ex- pected to have, and if I can do any good for my country on top of it all, I'm ready to do it."
 A young sailor wearing the red stripe of the engine-rOom in his shoul- der seam had his own ideas of serv- ice
 Why did you enlist as a fireman?" he was asked. The question embar- rassed him manifestly and he squirm- ed
 "As far as I could learn" he ex- plained, "the firemen have about the toughest job aboard ship, and thought probably a lot of fellows would not want it, so I signed up to work below"

DROUTH IS NUT APPARENT
 AT WYOMING METROPOLIS

CHEYENNE, Wyoming, Aprii G. Cheyene statisticians claim that to- day this little city of twelve thousand persons imports more whisky than any city of equal size in the United States.
 Cheyenne imports an average of one carload of liquor a day. Recent ly promulgated shipping orders pro- vide car loaded with liquor shall contain from ninety to one hundred and ten barrels. On the basis of but seventy-five barrels of whiskeyE each car would contain three thousand seven hundred gallons, as a standard whiskey barrel contains forty-eight gallons, or 29,6OO pints.
 Now the Cheyenne statisticians figure there are eight average sized drinks in a pint, making the car con tain two hundred thirty-six thousand eight hundred drinks.
 A total of two hundred and thirty.six thousand eight hundred drinks would give every man, woman and chad in Cheyenne twenty drinks apiece daily, enough, say these same statisti- cians, to keep every man, woman and child prepetually intoxicated if they were the only ones to drink the liquor which arrives here.
 But TOW it is said that but g per cent of Cheyenne's population oT sssn less drink liquor This would make two hundred drinks daily for the 10 per cent And each person included in this 10 per cent would have to take a drink every seven minutes of the twenty-four hours.
 Colorado officials charge that Chey. enne is the chief base for "bootleg- gers" who operate into dry Colorado. They point to these figures as con, elusive evidence.
 It is figured that the fourteen thou sand eight hundred quarts imported daily represent a retail value of $44,- 400.

An acre of bananas will yield so

The banana is immune to almost every

Will distance any weed or shrub that
tries TO contest Its claim TO soil and

The banana is the "neither fish,

will be continued until further no.
