CAMP DIX, N. j., Sept 2l.-That the
camp kitchen waste can be utilized to
feed enough pigs to supply the ham.
bacon. sausage and scrspple for soldiers
training here Is the belief Of officers of
the camp reclamation and conservation
department and the establishment OF a
large farm or farms for raising swine is
contemplated as one OF the newest fac
tors In the money saving campaign Of
this unique organization. This proposed
pork raising enterprise will be operated
In conjunction with the camp war gar
den which Wili probably be increased
next year 10 several thousand acres.
It is proposed to feed TO the pigs only
that part Of the kitchen waste which
cannot be utilized in certain essential
manufacturing enterprises. All cooked
meats, fats and cooked grease, for in
stance, are highly valuable In the pro-
duction of glycerine.
1t is the general garbage, with these
valuable meat scraps eliminated. which
the camp will convert into pork.
Whether or not the camp decides to
operate its own poultry farm, the recla-
nation branch will make tons OF poultry
food available for use At some point
merely by conserving the waste bread.
Instead OF dumping table crumbs and
stale bread into tho garbage cans ~ Is

To the 136th Infantry, Col. w. T.
Mollison commanding. an organization
Of the Thirty-fourth Division, now train
ing at Camp Dix, belongs the credit OF
having discovered probably the greatest
rife shot OF this war In Private Pierre
Fomebue, an Indian soldier.
Private Flomebue Joined the regiment
at Camp Cody. He was a typical reser-
ys,ion Indian and attracted little at
tention until he was ordered with other
recruits to the target range. Strange to
relate, he had had little experience with
a rifle and none at all with the army
rife. yet the FIRST day he picked OF a
perfect score with nifty clean hits out Of
a possible fifty. Time after time he has
repeated this target feat on all the
ranses from 100 to 900 yards. and rarely
has his score fallen below IS. Unlike
many famous shots, he 10 q steady
marksman.
Fellow soldiers say the Indian can
draw an outline OF his profile in bullet
holes at zoo yards. His uncanny skill
With the rife has won him special recoE-
ntt!on and he has preceded his organiza-
ton to France for special duty.
No soldier at Dix has been more
anxious to get to France than Private
william Robinson, member OF casual

automobile when the present head Of tho
American expeditionary forces was con-
Quoting his Mexican campaign.
Two weeks of training camp life has
taught thousands OF New Jersey and
Pennsylvania limited service men that
they are as much a part OF the army
machine as their more physically At
comrades who will man the front line
trenches The majority of these men
were detected when they arrived in camp
by the thought that they were insists in
The great war game. but officers of the
training battalions, chaplains and "Y"
sscretaries have been able to show them
curing the FIRST fortnight Of their army
experience that the part they must play
IL essential to victory.
A visitor to the Ninth Training Bat
talon might have heard a commander
putting II UP to 1000 or more men
quartered In his organization. He sum-
moned every company to the ~" boxing
stadium and briefly addressed them from
the arena.

sold!ers,' he said. You are summoned
