Keen stun from the warehouses Sgt.
Pop Spangler has been put in charge OF
Warehouse No. 8 we'll you talk about
q boss well he should be good he used to
be cop--and believe me that young
fellow can hand out that stuff well now
lets see what he handles, anything from
pin to a Ford, a regular old fashioned
country store you close your eyes and
pick up anything and IL is what you
wanted-.great shack that.
Warehouse No, 7 Sgt Annewalt our es-
teemed friend from Allentown has charge
Of that w. H.--now lels see just what
he handles-Ah yes knew II was some
thing very important all canned goods and
lard in fact everything for the comfort
of all newly married couples who seek
advice as to just what Ia necessary for
Geavy and light housokeeping-lf cupid
only knew,
Warehouse No. s win find Jesse James
Scholein the kid from Arkausaw who
travels on slow trains to see what the
country looks like--he has the ideal ware
house imagine place where YOU can
bring goods that are not serviceahie any
more and of course he not knowing the
value OF anything in this world, natural
/ ly he Is at home but he is a good boy at
that and is trying very hard to get along
| in this world
Warehouse No. Top Field Clerk has
! charge of this w II. and most any time
| you can find him with n smile on his
| face telling you just why he doesn't have
| this and he doesn't have that---and any
time you need nickel or a dime he
7
it-that's not bad at that.
| Warehouse No, think Il Is Private
| Johnson who has charge Of that ware
4 house good friend of the dumb ami
| mals well he's not so smart himself
| but anyway the horses and mules ali
| depend upon him for their grub. for all
| | know he might eat some himself as he
| sometimes misses noss--yes he does
Warehouse No. 6 1t is there where we
come upon the most mighty Of the all
acting private Patterson. Commonly
| known at Pat--the card shark from Har-
risburg, Pa, who hands out the most
precious Of Hoovers prizes ttlour) you
| time guarding that precious stuff. which
| the nation is sacrificing for us at the
| present time-welt he il big enough to
guard anything without gun
We now come to the open market and
see just where we get our beef and meats
| RUDE Reichert known as the noise maker
\ and champion pie eater OF the camp, he
| on the way not more than seven OF
| eight mouths for us and believe me II
takes an expert smeller to know the
| good from the bad--he has got the smeller
he can tell the difference in machines
as they pass blindtolded by the smell OF
the gas.
Butch Kreitzer is handling cold prop
osition these days-it sure must take a
man to handle a job of his kind-Ice-
well if 1t wasn't for him you wouldn't
| have any cold drnks--and he sure does
| take care of hts own self too--you see
he's blond and blends as a rule can't
| stand the cold-thats the reason for
| him being IN the south poor Butch my
but we blends do suffer,
We now come to the fields of new
mown hay where the fields are nov
yielding eats IN the line Of hay ant
straw there we will find Sgt W ilcox tax
| ing care Of the crop, just like all goot
! farmers do, the horse and mules delight
| in calling on CoNy because OF the fasci
mating grub he handles--they tell me on,
can find some swell bunk fatigue-wel
! its true We sleep on straw and heliev,
me one night | awoke thinking | had tn,
| itch and on close inspection l found il
was only the cheaper straw shedding ii;
coat and coming through the blank.
cts.

patroni5ing one of the canteens on tn,
| outskirts Of the camp-cant understan,
why they go so far Just to buy a drinl
or two when they can get one at thei
own--well one knows-but walt-sofne
one does--so so slow.
