PERSONAL INCIDENTS OF THE
SOLDIERS AT CAMP MEADE

Here's the kind of chap Mcbride,
supply Company. a11th Field Artillery,
happens to be:
In the dark of the movies at "O' Y
Thursday an officer was seating him
self just in front of Mac" and OBJ
structing the latters vision.
"Get the h out of here" said
Mac.
The officer turned in surprise, to note
the look of apology on Macs face, and
laughed. The Supply Company boys
companion told Mack to beat it" while
the going was smooth. but Mac said he
would stick and find out the identity
Of the officer who so graciously re-
ceiyed his rebuke. Nothing yellow
about this lad.
Mcintyre, 31oth Field Artillery, Is
the envy of many of his officers, the
reason being that he rides one of the
best grays in the stables. A lieutenant
abandoned the mount to Mcintyre, the
Somerset county soldier making a reg
ular saddler out of the find. Mcintyre
uses the gray on his "foraging parties"
Somebody told Cottrell, C, 2Sth En-
gineers and movie operator extraor-
dinary,- that a certain artist was "a
pretty good pianist"
"Yes," said the cranker, "and George
Washington lived to be a pretty old
man."
Beiler, e. 312th F. A.. failed to see
more than one girl during the four-day
hike to Indian Landing, and the pity of
1t is that he is a good-looking boy at
that.

THE TRUST
WILL NOT Be BETRAYED
Henry B. F. Mcfarland Lauds Camp
Meade Soldiers In Address at
7. III. C. A. Building.

II put my honor into your hands,
knowing full well you will never betray
the trust" This expression of conf
dence was made by Henry b. F. Macfar-
land. formerly Commissioner of the
crowded house at the Young Mems
Christian Association auditorium.
"As for myself" said Mr.. mcfarland,
"they say am too old to fight. / don't
agree with them. but they won't have
me at any rate. And since can't fight
for my honor and my country's honor
myself it must be avenged by the
American soldier-by you. 1 know you
never will besmirch your country's
honor with the beastly acts the Ger
mans have done. 1t is true that our
reports from France have told us that
one American soldier did an unspeak
able thing, but was not he executed as
soon as the blow could fall? Would
that have happened in the German
army? You know 1t would not. The
soldier would have been encouraged to
do worse. 1 am proud we can stand
before the world and say: Our creed
is not the creed of the Germans
Fighting for Country's Honor.
you are fighting for your women
folk, for your wives, sisters, mothers
and sweethearts; you are fighting for
the honor of your country. By your
country you do not mean the Capitol
at Washington, or the government, or
the Washington Monument. 1t is more
than that. The Constitution says, We,
the people of the United States and it
is the people that are your country
You are fighting for it because your
country has called upon you; you are
down here under the selective draft
Ahe fairest and most democratic way of
raising an army that has ever been de-
vised. You are the chosen. and 1 envy
you for it. l envy you your oppor-
tunity. the greatest in the history of
the world. And If 1t is written that
you are to die for your country, you
will have shown that the things the
heroes with Washington died for are
still worth. dying for; you will have
made the supreme sacrifice. The man
who has done this has shown himself
a man."

CARE FOR GROWING PORKERs
II Pigs Are Worth Producing They
Are Worth Extra Care and Feed
to Develop Them.

(By W. L. BLIZZARD. Department of
Animal Husbandry, Oklahoma A. and
M. College. Stillwater.)
In feeding those growing pigs, do not
forget that the larger they grow the
better. If they are worth producing.
they are certainly worth the extra feed
and care it takes to develop them. No
man ever made anything by starving
them, unless there was n lack Of good
blood. If he hasn't the good blood, the
quicker he gets 1t the better. The old
saying. "A good one is worth pasture
full Of ordinary Ones" is just as true
today as it has always been.
If one hasn't the right kind, he
should make a study of the business
and grow the kind that makes money
for the other fellow.
Many livestock breeder stands In
his own light because he doesn't pro-
duce the kind that his fellow breeder
wants.

CAUSE FOR FEAR.

Peggy was pupil in school where
an epidemic of measles was raging and
She finally succumbed to The disease.
All went well, however. and at the
end OF fortnight she was quite able to
return to school. But the mere sug-
gestion Of going back to school was
received with CONSERVATION. Peggy
didn't want to return in fact, she was
panicky over the thought.
"Why is it, Peggy, that you don't
want to go back to school?' questioned
her mother.
Peggy answered.: Because the
teacher is going to burn me up in the
furnace"
"What do you mean, Peggy dear?
Tell me-" demanded the puzzled par
ent. And Peggy said:
"Well, she said that after any one
had been absent three days she would
drop them from the register"
