WITH THE .COLORS"
IN TEXAS
Letter From Robson County
Man at Camp stanly-The
Great State of Texas-The
Alamo and Heroes of Stirring
Period-The "Y.'

To the Editor of The Robesonian.
Here's letter from a Robesonian
in Texas. Occasionally l receive a
copy Of your paper, which l enjoy
very much, even though l get it some
time after publication. We fellows
in the army like to hear from home,
whether by letter or the home news
paper.
l am here in the third reserve
officers training camp. Most all can
didates for commissions here are en-
listed men. l was with the 18th field
artillery at Camp Sewer, and was
one of 240 men selected from the
30th division to attend. In all we
have nearly 1000 student officers
here, sent from various camps over
the country.
The State of Texas is "some" place
to be now. No one really can get a
conception of its size until he at
tempts to cross it. The German en-
pire could be set down in it, and have
some territory to spare. Camp Stanly
is located at Leon Springs, 25 miles
from San Antonio, on the San Antonio
and Kansas Pass Ry.
At the first opportunity l went tc
San Antonio especially to visit that
old historic structure, the Alamo. II
is right in the heart of San Antonio
and may truly be called the heart o1
Texas, because here flowed the blcoc
of the founders of Texas freedom
and liberty. If one knows the his
tory connected with this old Francis
can mission, he will not enter withou
first taking off his hat, and inwardl,
thanking God for such men as Croch
EFT and his fellows Nowhere in tn,
worlds history can such courage b.
found as was in these old American
heroes of the beginning of our repub
lie, Of which we are proud to includ
! Texas.
May America find her sons toda
as loyal and courageous as she foun
our forefathers
Well, l must not go into the sent
mental, but l cannot refrain fror
such thoughts under the circun
stances.
i. l am studying field artillery tax
tics. We drill, listen to lectures a
day and study from 7:30 to $50 E
night. Our instructors are the bes
possible, and those who are luck
enough to obtain commissions ougl

NO GENERAL RULE POSSIBLE
Matter Of Proper Amount Of Bodily
Exercise Must Be Left to Dis
cretion OF Individual.

at is an axiom that mental excel
ience is to very considerable extent
dependent upon mans physical con-
dld0n," declared Secretary OF State
Robert Lansing. 'It is equally true
that rules of health, except the most
general, depend in large measure up
On the individual and upon his peculiar
needs.
'If | were asked TO lay down rules
which might be applied generally, con-
tinued the American premier, II

individual, his physical condition and,
10 an extent, on his tastes. OF course,
exercise is, as a rule, beneficial, but
it ought to be a pleasure TO the one
taking it if he would get the best re-
suits.
ut may sound like heresy, but |
sometimes wonder whether exercise,
when it is not a diversion, is really
worth while. Certainly the mind is
not rested if it rebels against certain
forms of physical training which are
being taken, and recreation for the
mind of one engaged in intellectual
pursuits is, in my opinion. one Of the
most essential purposes Of exercise Of
the muscles.
Il believe however, as / have said.
that fresh air is one Of the great re-
storatlves, and the fact that exercise
is generally taken in the open is one
of it's chief benefits. From "Secre-
tary Lansing's Story Of His Health
