craving Slowly along. In going up to
the top of the building we travelled at
the rate Of story to second. That
is going some, isn't it? We also took
a boat to Coney Island. All the people
think of there is fun, and they surely
find it there. We returned to Camp Dix
that night after a rather rough trip in
a boat which made it all the more in
terestlng as the waves were quite the
largest | have ever seen"
An enthusiastic letter from Ferdinand
Ochs was received just in time to run it
in without cutting line, just as it came
hot from "Ferdie's" pen.
- &.s Jefferson Barracks, Mo.
June 20, 1918. &
My dear Miss Payne: - .-r.
When we got here last Wednesday
morning 1 noticed that all the boys
that were not on duty lined up on both
sides of the road and hollered at us
"where you 'FRONT.', and "you will like
it," Well, by this time 1 surely like
|it-everything here is of the uery best.
Plenty to eat and nourishing food.
Movies and boxing every night at the
K. of c. hall and the Y. M. C. A. Both
very nice halls, well equipped to make
the fellows feel good = and say, Miss
Payne, we surely do feel just immensely.
'Now as to the where you FROM"
Honest Indian, there isn't another state
In the Union regardless of size that sends
as many volunteers to this barracks as
MINI. so you can imagine that I am
proud indeed to be ''from Minnesota"
This is Saturday afternoon and we
just got out of the lecture hall. Say,
we get lectures once in while, any one
of which is easily worth a year of a mans
life.
'@In few minutes the Women's Club
from St. Louis will be here and they
always give us a swell entertainment
besides ice cream-yum yum-maybe
we ever miss anything like that = not
soldier, they are not that kind Of people.
II am in the quartefmaster depart
ment where we issue anything a soldier
needs in clothing and hope 1 get trans
ferred out of here soon because in two
weeks we expect $4,000 drafted ''colored
gemmans' and I'd just as soon be in a
camp where the whites have at least
majority and not get showed in 10 to /,
as we would be if I get stationed here.
1--WE soldiers surely feel good and are
glad that we have chance to serve
"'Old Glory" but before you can enlist
down here you have to pass an examina-
ton, passing thru a large receiving
barracks and get inspected by about 80
to 35 different doctors each one looking
for some different ailment. But I
passed 100 per cent, so I won't be back
till the sun shines again but then you can
be sure I will be back to write some more
ads so you can have them the last day
before printing.
"The entertainment is starting so I
will have to ring off for today.
