them that they were given us by our
w. c. T. u and commercial club at
home.
I'VE had a very pleasant trip over
here and arrived about six o'clock
Wednesday morning, June Goth.
I'VE were assigned to our compan-
les as soon as we arrived and all the
Boomers Ferry boys went into the
26th. l sure like it fine but they don't
loose any time here as they put us
right to work; we drill pretty hard but
| like it as il is so much different
from anything l was used to. A per-
son who has never seen an army camp
has no idea what a place like this is
like We have Y. M. c. A and K. G.
halls and they are both fine. Also
there are moving picture shows, pool
rooms, base ball parks and you can
