CHARTER MEET lNGE
ATTENDANCE OF CITIZENS NOT.
SUFFICIENT TUEsDAY-ANoTH-
Err MEETING MONDAY.

Only a handful Of citizens were at
the city hall Tuesday evening for the
public meeting which was called for the
purpose Of discussing the proposed
changes in the charter. on which the
charter commission has been working
for several months. The inclement
weather, no doubt, was responsible in
part for the small attendance.
Mayor Bergheim called the meeting
to order and asked whether those pres
ent desired to take up the discussion Of
the proposed changes.
Those present, the commission includ-
ed, seemed of the opinion that the meet.
ing should be postponed to later date
as much larger number of citizens
should be present to express their
views. =: - II.
Mr.. Bergheim mentioned the fact that
up to this time the commission had
spent no money in the work, but that
q point had been reached where it was
desirable that the feeling Of the people
be ascertained on the proposed changes,
as the matter Of compiling . revision
of the present charter with the propos-
ed amendments would be considerable
expense, necessitating the engaging Of
an attorney and later the expense Of
publication and the cost Of election. If
the citizens do not wish anything done
with the charter at this time, this
should also be made known, and work
would cease.
Another meeting is called for Monday
evening, June 9, at the city hall, in an
endeavor to secure representative
gathering Of citizens.
The committee feels in that it has
gladly given on an average of one
night a week for several months in the
consideration Of the proposed changes,
that other citizens should be interested
enough in matters which directly con.
Germ them, that they should spend at
least one evening in consideration OF
the matter, and give frank express
sion of their views.

LIEUT.. AURANDT STARTS
FARMING SCHOOL
"Y" Co-0perates IN Coaching Men
Latest Things in Agri-
culture.

Lieut.. Aurandt, in cooperation with
the or" is directing the Inauguration
Of school of agriculture in Meade,
the program of which is published in
this issue of Trench and Camp.
The government is desirous of hav-
ing soldiers learn farming, if they
wish it, and for that reason Lieut..
Aurandt has gone to great deal of
trouble in arranging a course of lee
lures and demonstrations which will
give the men the latest knowledge
along scientific lines.
1t will not be a theoretical course.
The men engaged to do the talking
are men who for the most part are
lifelong farmers. They know where
of they speak.
One of the first things done to start
the school was to get the assistance
of DIR. Patterson. head of the United
States experiment station at College
Park and formerly president of
Maryland State College.
Dr. Patterson has assigned num-
ber of his specialists to the camp for
the purpose Of delivering the lectures
on the various subjects. which include
poultry, cattle, hogs, produce. fruits
and soils.
Select the subjects you are inter-
ested in and attend these lectures. If
the government has q place for you
on a farm in the west and you care
to take it you will then be in q posi-
ton to fill the bill. II you simply
want to increase your knowledge of
farming, now is the time.

SPECIAL NOTICE.

An appeal for the fund for wounded
actors has been sent out to theatrical
companies throughout the United
States, with gratifying results. The
money has been cheerfully contributed
by actors and actresses, not in the
spirit Of charity, but as a tribute and
an obligation from those who have
stayed at home to those who have
risked their lives and sacrificed their
health and their ambitions in the
cause of freedom.
We are very proud of our boys and
we want to know their names-all of
them-those who have died, those who
are wounded and those who have es-
capped uninjured. We will be very
grateful for any information that will
help us to complete this list, together
with any available particulars as to
permanent address, regimental con-
nection, character of service, etc, and
previous professional record.
We hope the boys will get in touch
with us. We shall be glad to see them
and to render any service in our pow
er in helping them to get started
again and to assist those dependent
upon them, or to supplement>the re-
construction work of the government
and find convalescent homes for them
when they leave the hospitals.
This is q private fund. There has
been no appeal to the public by bene-
fltNor otherwise, and all requests for
aid will be treated confidentially.

NEW HOSTESS HAS
THREE STARS ON SLEEVE
Mrs. Harrison's Husband With
"Y" in France and Two Sons
Serve in Army.

One of the most interested persons
in Meade in the overseas men and
soldiers generally, and especially in
the program for teaching agriculture
to men in uniform. As Mrs. Thomas P.
Harrison, receiving hostess at the
Y. w. C. A., who came here recently
after serving at Camp Sewer and with
the Quantico marines.
my husband is now in France,
teaching for the " and doing every
thing he can for the boys" said Mrs.
Harrison, whose home is in Raleigh,
N c., "and his experience at the Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical College in
the Old North state will stand him In
good stead"
Prof Harrison Is a firm believer in
the advisability of living on the soil
and by the toll of ones hands. He is
teaching this sort of doctrine to the
soldiers in Frarfce and his wife Is
trying to encourage men here to
adopt the course offered through the
cooperation of the morale officer
Lieut.. Aurandt, the ''Y" and Prof
Patterson of the United States ex-
pertinent station at College Park.
Mrs Harrison has had two sons in
the service. one just having been dis
charged and the other serving as a
lieutenant in the Army in Luxem-
burg.
Another thing that she would like
to see done is the adoption of some
satisfactory system of paying the SOL
diers from overseas their regular
monthly wage. They are generally
without money except the few who
are fortunate enough to receive some
thing from home.
Mrs. Harrison is a friend of Secre-
tary Daniels of the Navy and his wife.
who also live in Raleigh, N. c.

Strong arms assisted the guests into

No one for one moment thought to
ask whether there was more than one
dance in Camp Meade that evening.
Wherefore, 1t happened that the Sig
nal Corps dance was favored with the
presence of many guests who had been
invited to the Camp Meade Headquar-
ters Company dance at the knights Of
Columbus building the same evening.

Since the mastering out of many
Camp Meade units musicians in khalSI
are becoming scarce in this camp, ac-
cording to j. Ray Nicodemus. the new
director of the Liberty Theater Or
chestra.
There is a great demand now for

to receive names of new musicians as
they arrive in camp. Mr.. Nicodemus.
