ST. PAUL's OPPORTUNITY.

There are number of aspirants for
the chief executiveship of the Sanity
City. It is said that Mayor Erwin does
not care for a reelection. His secre-
tary, Lawrence Hodgson, is to date
very much in the running for the noml-
ton. Sank Centre folks had the
pleasure of meeting Larry Ho" last
summer when he delivered 100 per
cent patriotic talk for the benefit of
the Red Cross. Larry Ho" has the
ability and training to make a splen-
did chief executive for any city and If
st. Paul should choose him, she would
be honored and could rest safe in the
certainty that the responsibilities
would not be misplaced. 1t would be
a unique experience for any city to
have as human and square man as
Larry Ho" at it's head. His out
standing integrity and love of justice
and humanity would not permit his
administration to sink into the mire
of dirty municipal politics. If ST..
Paul cares picayune for the good
opinion of the state at large her citiz-
ems will rally behind the candidacy of
Mr.. Hodgson in sufficient numbers to
insure his nomination and election by
rousing majorities.

in order" The men appreciated the
message that the Chaplain brought to
them.
Some one ought to have New Years
placed farther away on the calendar
from Christmas. The two holidays
come too close together. It doesn't
give the cooks a chance to rest up in
order to prepare another big feed. OF
course, we enjoyed the holiday, had a
little extra dinner, but think of the
spread we might have had, if it were
farther slong. The Importance OF the
day never cawned upon us, and we
retired early, having been incapacitat-
ed for week with severe COLI. AMI
determined to get nights sleep. We
slept until one minute to twelve. At
twelve sharp we were standing in the
middle of our room, shaking like a
leaf. Who wouldn't? If you were
sleeping peacefully and all at once q
mighty roar from hundred mems
threats, you would do the same thing.
It was their unique way of telling the
world that 1918 had s,:;ved.
The chief New Years entertainment
at Camp Pike for the men, was the
singing of Harry Lauder, famous
Scotch comedian. He entertained
about 1000 (out of quarantine
never heard him) at the large Y. M. C.

saw. The people seem to be and have
such old fashioned ways. of doing
things. The barracks with all its
recruits make pretty good sized city.
It is located by the Mississippi and is
very pretty place. The officers have
a very pretty place here and are very
nice. They also have canteen where
we can go and get most any thing we
want. If we have money we can get
good square meal also. There is
also a YIN. C. A. and X. C. hall where
we can go evenings, and afternoons
when we haven't anything to do. I'VE
can always find piano player and
some singers, or entertainers of some
kind in the crowd. There are about
$1,000 soldiers at the Barracks begin
ming training.
The clerical forces have about
caught up with the work of recruiting
thousands of men, and yesterday all
the newly enlisted men were free to
take the drilling and setting up ex-
ercises. The officials claim it takes
three months to convert a raw recruit
and six months to make real fight
ing man out of him. Most of us will
be removed shortly. But while there
we will be given a thorough course of
training. At one time yesterday there
were about $4,000 men on the parade
grounds. They ranged from novices,
who arrived here in the last few days,
to men who have been here for
months. All the boys seem quite con-
tented although some have to sleep on
the floor, and do not possess all the
comforts of home. But however, with
few exceptions we realize that these
conditions have been forced on the Of
ficers, and they are doing their best
None of us sleep in cold shacks, and
are given sufficient covering. The
hospital records show that the gen.
eral health is good. There have been
few cases of diptheria, pneumonia,
mumps, measles and similar ailments,
the percentage compares favorably
with. communities having equal popu-
lation. There has been only one death
since have been here.
The food is wholesome and we get
plenty OF it, although we have to form
in line and wait at times. The Christ
mas and New Years dinners were
very good. We had turkey, dressing,
mashed potatoes, pickles, olives, oyster
soup, bread, butter, celery, oranges,
apples, pie and apple cider. Oh, but
we did enjoy it. TWAS certainly fine.

Fred Diesel Writes In
terestingly of Army Life

This interesting letter comes from
Fred Diezel, formerly clerk at the
Palmer House. Mr.. Diezel is viewing
army life at jefferson Barracks with
the eyes of a recruit. What his i'm
pressions are are contained in the
following epistle:
jefferson Barracks, Mo-, Jan 2.
Dear Cousin Art:
I will take the pleasure of telling
the people of Sank Centre of my first
experience in soldier life at Jefferson
Barracks. The trip from Minneapolis
to ST. Louis was long but rather
pleasant ride. There was a bunch OF
about 800 that left Minneapolis with
mes / got in Minneapolis on Monday
morning, Dec. 10th, and was given an
examination there, which I passed
o. K. and was relieved for the rest of
the day. About $50 went to the
Federal Life Bldg, where we formed
a line, and were each given nice
kit from the Red Cross, which contain
ed, Camel cigarettes, soap, comb,
brush, mirror, handkerchief and other
small articles which we appreciated.
We paraded y'Hill's Dairy Lunch and
were given three sanitary boxes which
contained three meals for one person.
1t was very good. At the depot there
was large crowd of fathers and mo-
theirs, sisters, brothers and sweet
hearts bidding the boys farewell.
We had a few stops on our. way,
some of the large cities, such as Wa
terloo, Iowa, and the way we would
rush for good cup of coffee and
Hrurah, back in our train again.! We
did not get into st. Louis until 1:30
Tuesday night and then the train did
not take us clear in. There was a
wreck and we had to either walk II
miles to good hotel, or stay in and
probably have to stay in the rest of
the night, so believe me we got out
and walked. There was some line of
us. The policemen were all scared
out; they did not know what kind of a
squad we were.
The next morning we got up, had
breakfast and took car and went out
to the barracks. 1t was pretty cold
and found as much snow as in Sank
Centre. Because the officials were so
rushed with enlisted men we had to
wait about four days for our uniformss'

WATSON MAY NOT
BE- ALLOWED TO
ENTER IN RACE

AUGUSTA, Ga, August 16.-There
has been considerable discussion here
today of the attempt of Thos. E. Wat
son, of Thomson, Ga, to become a
candidate for congress in opposition
to Representative Carl Vinson, and
there is still wide difference of
opinion as to whether or not Watson's
name will appear upon the official
ballots.
Friends of Watson in McDuftie,
Richmond, Hancock, Washington, JET
ferson and other counties in the
Tenth Congressional district yester-
Aaay paid his entrance fee as candi-
date for Congress. This fee was ten
dered in Baldwin county, but was
refused.
The fee was refused in Baldwin
county because of the action of the
Tenth District Democratic Executive
committee in adopting a resolution
several weeks ago requiring all
didates to file notice of their intention
to pay fee of $500 to the secretary
of the committee not later than Au-
gust st. Representative Vinson is
the Only candidate who has complied
with this requirement, and this has
led to a general discussion of the
status of Watson, many here contend
ing that he cannot now become a
candidate for any office in the com
ing primary.
