CAMP COMMANDER WILL ENDEAVOR
 TO AID SOLDIERS

Fort Worth, Tex, March l.-Major J. R. Alfonte, the new commadncr at Barron Field today addressed the enlisted men who yesterday presented written protest against being held any longer in the army. He said he would approve all applications for discharge and that he would address a
 recommendation of some kind to Wash ington. Major Alfonte took charge of the field yesterday and his first busi- ness was the receipt of the protest from the enlisted men, who asserted they had enlisted for the duration of the war, that the war was over and that in some cases, their families were suffering because the men were held in camp.

WHO IS TOM BLODGETT?

l am meeting lot of new people every day in my office in the Citizens Bank Bldg, and they come in with a question mark on their face, curious to know what kind of an animal the man who believes in advertising" is.
 These folks are busy people who either have city property, farms or
 large plantations to sell or want to ] buy either town or farm property, it ! is sure keeping me busy, but it is actually fun to Hit the Ball" and dc @ fast, clean business.

 l l was glad 1 was there, looked the bunch over and ordered lunch. l don't remember just what the meal con- sisted of, but one thing I do remember , it did not hurt my teeth. I have pros pered some since then, for instance, am five feet and fifteen inches tall and weigh two hundred and twenty pounds. l have a very young disposi- tion, and rather sell land and homes than eat. do not fool with real es- tate that is not worth the money, if II know it. My habits are reasonable, I get I'D before breakfast and retire after sup per, and don't get "sore" if my neigh bors make more money than do, and don't blame anyone else for my own mistakes. l am Booster with capi- tai "B" and love "knocker" like I do the itch.
 l inherited some religious inclina- tions, but was never arrested for my piety. l believe in God and everybody else, next to the Kingdom of Heaven. building up a country is the biggest job on earth. The man who don't love a home of his own on earth, will be mighty lonesome in Heaven. If I can pick my job when l get to Heaven. it will be the real estate business. The widow who died poor and unknown here, will have homestead right" there on the gold paved pike, tax free and without interest. Some of the dys- peptic rich here, will be glad to get job there, as her gardner.
 l am little fussy about my cloth. es, 1 either want overalls, or a good suit. l don't care which, I like silk sox, when I can afford it, but don't care cent whether wear any or not. always pay my debts before the fel- low l owe quits needing it.

Mrs. Seagull to the young Seagulls.
"What is it to be about?" asked the
young Seagulls, for every little while
Mrs. Seagull would tell them story,
but always they would ask beforehand
what it was going to be about.
They didn't care much what she
told them about. but they had grown
into the way of asking her what she

''That is-are they all Scotch frst?"
"Oh, no." said Mrs. Seagull, "that

about it for you will never know any

of mental concentration upon the beau

came somewhat to resemble them in

awaited promotion to the same class,

copying the Venus de Milo. Il shall

"They said that when the Seagulls
were on the coast, flying or resting
over or on the beach then the weather
would be good and as they liked fine

"There is a good deal of truth in it.,

A portly Dutch woman applied to
the post office for money order to

told the clerk she had left her sons

The clerk smiled, and turning to an

"Honk, honk!'' the other suggested.

Getting Your own Way.

Getting our own way is not such a
difficult achievement. There are mere
babies who have found that crying is
often successful in getting what they
want. And many a very small girl
has discovered the value of caresses,
combined with judicious coaxing. But
the right sort of girl will not value
what she gets by making a fuss. or
by pretending to an affection she does
not feel. She would rather do without
something she desires than get it
through a kiss she does not mean, or
a fit of crying.-Girls' Companion.
