When visiting the western front
was first impressed with the tremen-
dous size of the whole operation; we
in this country are unable to realize
the conditions on the western front,
due to the fact that we have had no
experience in war, The tremendous
amount OF transportation used the
tremendous amount Of material used
the voluninous number of soldiers one
sees is Overwhelming.
The next thing that impressed me is
the wonderful organization, which is
necessary on this undertaking. This
organization goes from the highest all
the way down to the lowest each man
doing his part each individual being
a more or less important cog in the
great wheel. AS soon as one appre-
ciates that organization is the keynote
for the success attained, one at once
searches for the keynote-this is dis
cipline. Every man in the OrganiZa-
ton knows that in order to secure the
success of the operations it is neces-
sary for him to do his part when he is
told, as he is told, and because he is
told The reason for these particular
actions may not be apparent to the
person performing the act, but the dis
cipline of these wonderful organiza
tions is SO great that each man goes

DISCIPLINE THE KEYNOTE
OF SUCCESSFUL ARMY ORGANIZATION


at his task knowing full well that the
work of others is so arranged and so
ordered as to coordinate the efforts
OF all, knowing well that discipline is
the keynote. That this was not al
ways the case is proven by the state
ment of all officers with whom / con-
versed; it has been a hard fight to get
the necessary discipline but it has been
attained and is now prevalent through
out both organizations,
To secure discipline one must know
his duties, the highest commander and
the lowest private must each know
what his duties are and how to carry
them out. In the profession of arms
it usually happens that a man makes
but one mistake in life; this mistake
usually costs his own.
1t is incumbent upon all of us to
learn through the mistakes of our Al
lies, and so far as possible to profit
by them. Each of us should so con-
duct himself as to know all of his own
duties, all of the duties of those under
him, and tn eduties OF the man next
above him, so that in case Of casualty
to the higher man he ma step into the
place of the higher man and carry out
the duties of the office without detri-
ment to the operation. This means
hard work, conscientious work, faith

GOVT WAREHOUSES; FOR
AUGUSTA
FOR

The United States government closed
contracts with the Mckenzie Building
Co. of Augusta, for the construction,
on the Georgia Railroad right of way,
near the city of a series of warehouses
100000 square feet of warehouse
space in all-for storage purposes.
The warehouses will be put up west
of Fifteenth street. In addition to the
warehouses, the contract includes
wooden barracks, mess halls, etc. The
contract amounts to about 100000.
The warehouses, it is understood,
are to be used for the storage Of blan-
kets, tents, uniforms and like equip
ment, and it is from this point that all
camps in the Department, , the South
east will be supplied.
The establishment of this immense
plant here speaks much to advance the
statement that Camp Hancock is a
permanent military institution.

OLD 4TH REGIMENT BAND
AT JACKSONVILLE, FLA.

The boys at Camp Johnston are now
happy. They have band OF their own
and music will be a part OF each day
program in the future. This will prove
one of the most welcome additions to the
camp for there is nothing that cheers and
helps the soldier boys like music.
When the camp aWOSe Monday morning
they were greeted with the blasts of
horns and the beating of drums Excite
ment was caused in all directions and
eagerly the men began to look for the
source Soon it was discovered that
standing on the side track in front of
the poStOffice was car in which q band
was idly seated and from some members
of this organization the music was heard.
Upon investigation it was found that the
band consisted of twenty nine pieces and
that it hailed from Camp Hancock, Au-
guSta, Ca. where it has been in service
for some time and that it was TO become
a permanent fixture at Camp Johnston
During the day Monday the band rem
dered several selections and Tuesday az
ternOon/ the first concert was given be-
tween two rows of barracks. The band
was also ready and took part in retreat
playing the "Star Spangled Banner as
the flag was lowered from its pole rms
will be the custom here in the future
and it would not be surprising to find the
band taking part i nmany of the drills
within short time.
No better news could be heard at camp
as all the men are just hungry for the
real military airs by band composed
of regular army musicians such as TINS
one is. When the musicians rolled INTO
camp yesterday they still wore their blue
hat cords. sgnifying they had been as
signed to duty with the infantry at Camp
Hancock These hat cords probably will
not be changed. as the band may remain
a separate organization.
Extensive Service.
This aggregation has seen extensive
military service and almost all of them
were on the Mexican border expedition
having medals from their home counties
which were given to all men who went
with the American expeditionary forces
into the deserts of Texas and across the
Rio Grande.

The division is still approximately

until the time when these transfers
were made, the division was over war

About Meaning The PIGS.

When the pigs are about five weeks
old, they will begin to taste some of
their mothers feed. Do not be in a
hurry to wean them. Eight weeks is
young enough to wean them, if there
is skim milk for them. OF course the
size and development has a great deal
to do with their weaving age. If skin
milk is not obtainable, it is better to
let the pigs nurse the SOW until ter
weeks old.
Skim milk and corn, or skim mill
and short, fed in the proportion Of
3 to /, make an excellent ration for
weanlings. If skim milk is not avail
able, mixture of parts corn meal
4 parts middlings, and 1 part tank
age, fed as thin slop, is very good
Good succulent pasture is always ben
ehcial. 1t will aid wonderfully l.
putting growth on the young pigs, am
the grain expense will be lessened
After litter of pigs has been weanet
and are eating well, the most difficult
part Of their care is over.

ing spirit of fire that will sweep a
farmstead.
Many destructive blazes, points out
a Department of Agriculture bulletin
on fire prevention, have been caused
by spontaneous ignition of hay, es-
pecially clover and alfalfa. The first
cutting of the latter seems to be most
dangerous. II hay of this kind has
rain or dew on It or if the stacks are
not cured thoroughly, the moisture
will cause fermentation which may
produce sufficient heat to start a fire.
The combustion, however, can not
continue long without oxygen and
may cease without coming to the sur
face. It's presence can be detected by
a peculiar sooty odor or by smoke
irritating to the eyes. It may take
place from a few days to several
weeks after the hay is put up.
