Fair Price List.

Fair price list issued By the Food
Administrator, December 14th, 1918.
The fair price list sent out to the
County Administrators and the County
press from Baltimore City, is based
each week upon the wholesale prices
charged in Baltimore City and the
prices accepted by the retail dealers of
Baltimore City as showing fair mar
gin of profit. In applying these prices
to County stores, the fact should be
kept in mind that the County dealer
who purchases supplies from Baltimore
CITY must add to the price which is
charged in Baltimore transportation
cost, in many instances, to his place of
business, including freight and, in
some non-railroad Or wharf points,
truck or team transportation. Where
these differences exist, they must be
recognized in the retail price, and the
dealer allowed to add this cost Co the
price paid by him in Baltimore City.

power of efficiency. he put that pep
into the officers and men Of Beaure-

The vision Of our Commander. that
men must be born again" to become
genuine soldiers has been caught by
the entire camp. Officers and men
alike are training with their eyes and
guns aimed at Prussian brutality and
b4rbarity with their hearts feeling
the curse which the Hun has brought
upon civilization. There is q deter

fighting for.
BeauFegard is not boastful Of any
superhuous advantages over other
camps There are many comforts of
life which other divisions have that
are not found here. But Uncle Sam
has furnished everything necessary to
turn out A Number One Soldiers. 1t
may be that some of the obstacles to
comfort have made the struggle
harder, but it has made the product

Camp Beauregard, the best Of them
all! Located in the Sunny Southland
where there were all the advantages
through the winter, yet high enough
to get good cooling breezes, sur
rounded by immense woods Of pine,
Beauregard has been as healthy as
the average camp. We had our full
share of the epidemics which always
follow the influx of troops from other
camps. Perhaps our meningitis sit
uation was as serious a period as a
camp could go through Beauregard
weathered that storm with a mini
mum of losses, thanks to the wonder
fully efficient medical staff and SAM
tary officers with which we are
blessed. We lost some of our best
men during those dark days, but 1t
welded the camp together in q way
that nothing short OF life in the
trenches could do.
Seasoned Soldiers
Beauregard is a National Guard
Camp. 1t was at the beginning COM
posed of men who had gone through
the rigors of life on the Mexican bor-
der and knew more than a little
about soldering. Men from Louis
lana, Mississippi and Arkansas who
had seen service with the Guard In
the Philippines, in the Spanish-Amer-
lean War, with their recent expert
ences on the border were in trim for
the "big show" when they came to
Beauregard to get down to prepare
ton for Over There.
The Thirty-ninth Division had a
running start over the National Army
divisions and the Thirty-nitth made
the very best use of that start. There
has been little child's play in the
building up OF this army here. From
the very beginning emphasis has been
placed upon the kind of training that
would fit the men Of this division for
the tasks awaiting them in France.
The physical training brought into
prominence the forms of sport which
developed team work and reached
every man in the ranks. The obsta-
Gle course here was one of the first
to be established anywhere in the
country. This course consists Of per-
formances to bring into play every
muscle of the body and coordinate
them so they would come in handy
when men got into the trenches and
went over the top.
The hardening up process included
lengthy stay on the target range
fifteen miles from camp over roads
which could not have been better

ders If they had been imported. The

WATSON-ELLICOTT.-A clipping
from the San Francisco Examiner
brings news of the wedding of Miss
Priscilla Ellicott daughter of Captain
and Mrs. J. E. Ellicott, of Mare Is
land command San Francisco to Cap
tain Thomas Eugene Watson, at the
home of the brides sister Mrs. Ross
Kingsbury, in Santo Domingo. Mon
day. September &c. 1918.
In accordance with the laws of the
Island a civil ceremony was first nee
essary and the wedding proper was
performed later in the evening before
large company of assembled guests
and was quite an elaborate affair,
solemnized by Archdeacon Wyllie.
Major Charles F. Williams, brother of
Mrs. Ellicott gave the bride away.
The groom was attended by Captain
Wynne. Following the wedding ser
vice a reception was held at the
Kingsbury home where the wedding
collation. was served.
The wedding was the result of a
pretty little romance. The bride went
to San Domingo some thing over a
year ago to visit her sister and there
met the Captain. They will make their
home on the Island for the time being.
Captain Thomas Eugene Watson is
an Oskaloosa boy, a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Watson of South Thir-
teenth street. He is a High school
graduate and former football star
and attended Penn COllee. He was
quarter back of the High school team
in 1909, the year Oskaloosa defeated
West Des Moines High on the old
ball park" field He has been in the
employee of the Santo Dominican gov
eminent a number of years and the
Herald readers have from time to
time enjoyed letters from his pen
about affairs in his Island home.

Sept 20. (By Mail.)-Little Marie
Yyonne. the rest OF whose name no
one knows. will live and will not be
entirely crippled all her life. An

doctors gave out the report.
Marie lived in a little town north
of Chateau-Thierry during the 6 weeks

old tot was forced to remain behind
with her aged grandfather and grand
mother The mother is dead and the
old folks were too feeble to flee.
They lived in a cave practically ev-
cry minute of that weeks, going out
only when necessary for the town was
near the line. The Germans told them
to stay in the cave. for they would see
too much otherwise. The old folks and
the child were able to live only by us
ing boarded food sparingly, and by
denying they had anything to eat when
the Germans came TO take it, The
grandfather would totter out, despite
shells. and bring back vegetables from
gardens.
Finally the Americans retoOk the
town. and little Marie Yvonne was
happy 10 go out into the sunshine
again. The doughbOys gave her and
the grandparents white bread and can.
ned meat and they all ate as though
famished.
Then Marie Yvonne. playing in her
own house, found a German potato
masher grenade. She picked it up to
show it to grandfather, and a wire
fastened 10 it pulled the pin that kept
the trap from exploding. Marie Yvonne
was blown across the room. wounded
in several places. but most seriously
in the hand which picked up the gre

The Americans hurriedly gave Marie
Yvonne first aid treatment and rush
ed her to Chateau-Thierry hospital,
where doctors operated. She is get
ting better now, and the Americans
who have watched her are glad. Their
opinion Of Germans is unchanged.

'KEWIE" BIRD RARE SPECIMAN
Seldom Found Among Uncle Sans
Aviation Camps, Especially Among
Men Who Fly Much.

With the American Army in France,
Sept. IL. (By Mail. )-There are birds
and birds among the American bird
men along the front. One is a rare
specimen, the "kewie bird"
A "kewie bird" is a chap who flies
little, but always comes back with a
tale of terrible fighting whenever he
gets into his machine.
I'VE call such flyers kewie birds, "
explained one of the real birdmen who
never talks of himself, because the
kewie is a bird inhabiting the shores
of Newfoundland. 1t always flaps its
wings and squawks a lot but never
rises from the earth"
A man never remains "kewie" long
among Uncle Sans flyers. They won't
stand for the "kewie's squawks." The
"kewie" is soon ridden to death"
with derision, and ceases his talk.
There are seldom "kewies" in the
aviation camps, especially among the
men who fly much. Most are modest
to the extent of being bashful, and
while they will always tell what the
other fellow did, their own experiences
can be hardly, pried out of them.
. They'd rather be shot down by
boche than be "kewie bird"
