ROGER TEACHOUT DESCRIBES
ARMY LIFE AT NOGALES

Dear folks:-
This being a legal holiday, we are
relieved from most of our duties. We
made good time on the trip from Ft.
Logan down here, and enjoyed it very
much. Arizona looks much like Colo,
but New Mexico does not. N. NJ. is
mostly desert; Mexican adobe huts
Catholic churches with cemeteries
around and generally desolate look,
except in the cities.
You will find by the map that No
gales is right on the Mexican border.
We can look from our tent and see
Old Mexico only half mile away.
This is rolling country near camp,
and mountains like Colorado, ABOUT 20
miles away. Horned toads, cactus
and snakes here and there: not much
of q country.
We are all anxious to get away from
this detention or quarantine camp to
the regular camp, where we will live
in barracks and have more conven-
fences. We sleep eight men, or squad
to a tent.
In my tent are miners from Tellu-
ride and Durango, farmers from Sheri-
dan Lake and Las Animasxin.oh m
dan Lake and Las Animas, a chaffeur
and accountant from Colo. Springs.
Guy Exter is the only Gunnison boy
have seen here. Quite crowd of
soldiers have come in from Camp
Grant, Illinois.
1t gets pretty chilly in the tents to-
wards morning, but not before time to
get up at 5:15.
We sleep with tent flaps propped up
with sticks four feet above the ground.
/ can open my eyes at any time at
night and look out at the stars.
We have Saturday afternoons and
Sundays off, only show up for reveille
and retreat and meals. We eat, sleep,
work, drill and almost breathe by the
bugle calls. Everything has to be
done on time, and the boys that are
slow in learning have the hardest
time. A soldiers time is not his own,
really not at rest periods, for then he
has the odd jobs, like washing, clean
ing tents, etc.
We have been very busy drilling;
learning also, how to assemble gun
parts and napsacks and to pack camp
equipment.
| There is canteen here where the
boys get soda and ice cream. The
water pipes are lai d on top of the
ground, exposed to the heat, and the
water, although pure, is not fine to
drink il you want something cold. II
is fairly cool up to 10 o'clock a. m.
| / don't see paper very often. We
have hundreds of magazines but
don't read much. My mind is taken
up with the new duties here which is
the first thing to think Of
/ The Y. NJ. C. A. tries hard to enter
tain us and keep US happy. They have
have speakers come from Nogales and
elsewhere; ministers and public men
and they give talks on the war and
other questions from many different
points of view, and always interest
ing.
The army life will be a great thing
for me; the decipline and training;
and don't see how can fail to gain
something by it.
/ Give my regards to all my old Gus
toners and friends; tell them I am do
ing fine.
win write again very soon. Hoping
al is well with you.
Yours as ever,

IRVINE TO FARMERS
CHEAPER IN 1919
THEY WILL HAVE SUPPLY At
THREE CENTS OFF AND
SAVE ABOUT $4,000, 600.

Binder Irvine for the harvest of 1919
will cost American farmers about three
cents per pound less than they have
paid this year; the estimated total saw
Ing to grain growers of the United
States is $6,OOO,OOO. This announce
ment of the U. S. food administration
follows an arrangement it has made
with the Comision Reguladora, the
Yucatan monopoly controlling sisal,
whereby the Comision has contracted
to sell 100000 bales of sisal to Irvine
mills Of this country at a price three
cents per pound less than year ago.
That quantity of sisal represents the
principal supply of fiber needed to
manufacture binder Irvine for the
grain harvest of 1919. To maintain
an economical operation of Irvine mills
In the United States, sisal is contract
ed for about year ahead and is man
ufactured into the finished Irvine
throughout the year. BY the new, ar
engagements, the cost of sisal will be
approximately 16 cents wholesale at
gulf ports compared with 10 cents per
pound for the sisal used in making
the Irvine for the present harvest.
SINCE its early Investigations of bin
der Irvine, which is vital element in
our grain harvest. the food admins
tration has maintained that the Com
lsion Reguladora Of Yucatan must sell
Its sisal at more reasonable prices If 1T
expects to retain this country as
large customer. Sisal growers have
complained however, of the. high cost
of food and supplies which they Sc
cure from the United States. With
the hope of establishing a better I'M
derstanding between Mexican and
American producers, the food admins
tration proposes an exchange of agri-
cultural commissions. A commission
Of Mexican farmers has been invited
to visit the United States and study
the production and distribution of ar
ticles they secure from this country.
In case the proposal Is accepted, the
food administration plans to have a
committee of American farmers visit
Yucatan to study methods and costs
Of sisal production. Such an inter-
change of study is expected to prepare
the way for mutually satisfactory con-
ditions in future sisal arrangements.

WANTED TO ENROLL

Audubon County women are
wanted to enroll in the U. S. Stu
dent Nurse Reserve. The Govern
ment is calling for $4,000 young
women to join this organization and
hold themselves in readiness to
train for service as nurses. The war
is creating an unprecedented de-
mand for trained nurses. Only
those who have taken the full train
ing course are eligible for service
with our forces overseas. These
nurses are being drawn largely
from our hospitals at home. Their
places must be filled by student
nurses enrolled for the full training
course of from 2 toi3 years. Every
/ young woman who enrolls in the
U. S. Student Nurse Reserve is re-
leasing a nurse for service at the
/ front and swelling the home army,
which we must rely on to act as our
second line of hospital defense. Up
on the health of the American peo-
pie will depend the spirit of their
fighting forces.
AGE--The call is for women be-
tween the ages of 10 and IS. q
Observation-Disclosures, re-
sponsible women of good education
and sound health are wanted--the
pick of the country. A college edu-
cation is a valuable asset, and many
| hospitals will give credit for it. On
the other hand, some schools do
not even require full high-school
!. education.
Enrolment Women will be given
an opportunity toenroll in any one
Of three ways:
i l AS engaging to hold them
selves in readiness until April l,
1919 to accept assignments to nur.
ses training schools. These women
will be sent to the schools as fast
as vacancies occur. Those of super
ior qualifications will be given pre-
ference, and it is, ofcourse, possible
that not everyone who enrolls vii
