TUBULAR STEEL FENCE POSTS.

National Crop Improvement Service
There are two classes of steel posts:
Those made from old railroad rail
stocks and those made of steel of spe-
cial composition to meet the physical
requirements of the post. The forms
of steel and iron posts have been flats,
angles channels. tees and tubes. The
tubular post has many advantages in
that II is strong on account of its
shape. 1t has tongues which are a
part of the post, avoiding the danger
OF loosened staples. This post is by

In driving a galvanized steel tubular

Steel posts are protected against

Camp Meade, Md.
Trench and Camp:
The boys of Benjamin Franklin
cantonment want to extend their
heartfelt thanks and appreciation to
the men in charge of J hut of the
''Y" for the glorious time they
showed us in the Christmas holidays.
for making everything agreeable
and dispelling the gloom which was
hanging about us due to the fact that
we would rather be at home enjoying
the holidays with our families.
The work accomplished by them at
all times, before the cessation of hos
tilities deserves the highest praise
that words can express. in keeping up
with us. and the numerous difficult
ties that we would at times have, and
help us to overcome. We have re-
peatedly been reassured that it was
impossible for us to be among the
~" men and have a crouch. =
They have the spirit, and the right
way to execute it and will help any
man who just even thinks himself in
distress. Their work has at no time
proven in too great a hurry to listen
to and give advice and consideration
where 1t was needed And when they
do give attention and time as well as
advice one can rest assured that it.
Is the best obtainable This also ap-
plies to the men in charge of the "Y'
at Fort LeaVenworth, with whom
every man, l dare say, came in daily
contact.
We also wish to express our thanks
to the Jewish Welfare Association for
the magnificent program they sur
prised the bows with at this canton
ment Thursday night. We wish to
announce that any time Mr.. Fox feels
that he would like to surprise us he
need not stand on any ceremony at
all. but just drop in on us. and he
need not keep in cadence either But
one thing he must not forget is that
the men here have no objection what
ever to how many numbers he wishes
to add to the program he had here
this week. but we absolutely refuse
TO hear OF his coming here and leav-
ing the ladies and children behind. .
We ALSO want to extend our thanks
and gratitude to Maj Laury and his
little company of entertainers who
entertained us Christmas night with
his violin SELECTIONS, jokes and short
talk of his experience overseas. only
his stay was not long enough. But the
old saying that good things come in
small packages we suppose applies
to all things in general. so we had
to be satisfied. Now in receipt for
all the above services rendered all we
can wish you is most happy and
prosperous new year, one and all.

Rurnor.

Rumor is the Scurvy viper that works
It's havoc among those who unsuspect-
fngly allow themselves to come in con-
tact with tongues that are split.
Sometimes there is some justification
Tor rumor, while at other times there is
no, object except for some conceited ass
feIair his opinions. To Gull from rumor
what is acceptable and what is chaff
should be the purpose of every man
who wishes to enjoy a moments peace
while here in camp.
Meade has been a thriving breeding
ground for rumor and surmiSe, and
every unit has had it's share of joy and
sorrow because of idle mouths.
This is deplorable, for it's i'll effects
are twofold-that of disheartening the
men and then casting a shadow over
the homes of the men when their
families are disllusioned.
Gossip is the food of women and
lounge lizards and unfit for men whose
trade is the mastery of arms. Gossip
and rumor are twins and their lxinship
makes a combination that is terrible.
Our l1th Division can bear out my
point when we recollect the various
bogus theories and unauthenticated
bunk that has been spread among us.
First it was France" next home"
and now Siberia"
WhNt viii occupy the minds of the
unemployed and the scadal-mongers is
hard to fathom, for the scope of this
Yerrnin is far-reaching. In any event

PRAYED FOR HELP;
THEN ENTERED BATTLE
Arwood's Friend Found Strength in
God and Did His Duty
Accordingly.

A group in one corner of O-hut the
other night was talking about the
spiritual change that seemed to come
over soldiers as they were preparing
to go into battle.
Conley v. Atwood, whose home is
in Fairview, Va, recent arrival
among the overseas men, was in the
group and offered what was, perhaps.
the most interesting contribution to
a member of the 11Sth Infantry, Goth
Division, and went through some ex-
ceedingly hard engagements.
His story had to do with an expe-
rience a friend of his went through
as they were preparing to take active
part in an engagement. This chap
was given some work to do on "a
dugout at the moment the American
barrage began filling the heavens. 1t
was the chaps first night on the
front and he found himself unable to
begin work; an unexplainable sensa-
tion controlled him. He did not de-
scribe Ii as fear or terror but hinted
that he simply was unable to keep
his mind on his work.
After trying in vain to start the
work he threw down his tools and
made his way inside the dugout and
as Hc Tells II lie uTOppeO MS HedO
in his hands and began to pray. His
companions expected him out pres
emily, but instead of appearing within
short time it was hours before he
was able to take up his work. In
short, the chap had prayed nearly
all night. but had won his victory
and was ready to do his duty
Atwood was telling that he had
talked with many men about the in
fiuence of prayer and he says that
one would be surprised to learn how
many men readily admitted that they
had prayed for hours upon going into
their first battle. Atwood is ready to
strongly assert that the war ex-
perience will do a great deal toward
making many men appreciate their
homes as they have never been ap-
preciated before.
After going through the wars hard.

many men will be prouder Of their
opportunities they have in this coun-
try, will be prouder of their homes

It's a new idea in the way of camp
act and has attracted capacity audi
ences at the Hospital "Y," hut and
out in Dorsey, where the boys put
1t on as a feature of the Christmas
entertainment of the Dorsey Improve

the cast was as follows: Teacher,

AS an added attraction. Country
changed places for the time being
with Santa Claus and made a great
hit in the role of Charley Chaplin
Sanity Klaus. He made friends with
the audiences Immediately and then
got the laughs fast and furious. Coun-

as the war goes on. AS a class they

Trench and camp., 1919-01-09
A Soldiers Chance.

Soldiers have already noticed
u decided falling off in the
amount of attention shown them
i'll the big cities. Many have
remarked that not nearly so
many invitations to dinner and
rides have come they way.
The welfare organizations are
doing their utmost to keep up
the morale of the men, but there
is sure to be a gradual reduction
of the recognition given the men
by the public at large.
This is to be expected, and no
soldier who stops to think out
the proposition to its logical
conclusion will wonder that this
should be. He never thought for
moment that the social bars
were to be let down once and
for all by the war. He did not
imagine that the courtesies
shown him would continue for
all indefinite period.
Human nature is not consti-
tuted that way. People all over
the world make class distinc-
tions, consciously or uncon'
sciously, and even a great war
does not entirely eliminate them.
"A man naturally gravitates to-
ward another man of like nature
and capacity; being disappointed,
he seeks another man.
Fortunately, democracy in
America has reached point
where man may rise from one
station in life to another. 1t is
not SO in many other countries.
This is another form of that
freedom for which we just con-
tended. The point for soldiers
to bear in mind is that they can
improve their position in life just
so far as they show the desire
and ability to do it.
There is no question in the
minds Of thinkers that a more
tolerant attitude toward men in
less fortunate classes will be the
lresult of the war from a social
point of view. There will be less
snobbishness, less disposition to
withhold the right, of education
from the masses and more
:eagerness to accept the friend
ship of those who have some
thing real" to offer in the way
Of music, art and the sciences.
In short, the world will smile
now upon the man who "does
things" not upon the man whose
father did things for him."
And the soldier, with his dis
ciplined mind, fine healthy body
and desire to serve, is the man
who stands the best chance of
doing things worthy of recogni-
zion
