WORK ON THE BORDER

The entertainment work among
the soldiers in the Brownsville district
is TO be given greater opportunity for
development. Mr.. B. J. Durias, an
instructor in dramatic art, reported
at Fort Brown yesterday to take
charge of this feature of military life
on the border. He has just come
from Camp Funston where he staged
"Stop Thief" "Officer 666" and SINH
lar productions with great success.
Mr.. Durias has been sent here under
the direction of the Commission on

ton. Prior to the war he was en-
gagged for several years in dramatic
production.
Yesterday evening Mr.. Durias at
tended the entertainment given by
supply troop of the Sixteenth and the
band at the Base Hospital and he
expressed himself rs being agreeably
surprised at the extent Of the work
which is being done in this line at
the post.
The program which was similar to
that which the troop gave at the "Y"
some weeks ago and the second per-
formance was as highly appreciated
as the first. The saxaphone quar-
tette from the band composed of Cor
poral Garda. Musicians Neville, Kyle.
and Kuthberson rendered their num-
bers in their usual excellent manner.
Their popularity grows with each ap-
pearance. The supply troop trio con
sisting Of Sgt. Fuller, Mechanic GIas-
kop and Wagnoner Saneski were also
well received Saddler Harrison with
his dog ''Wop" and Wagnoer Will
liams' demonstration of human pin
cushion were other features of the
performance. Mr. Richter sang a
number of solos with Miss Pierce as
accompanist. The closing feature
was three round bout between Wa
goner Wiley and Private Bird.

CAN Still TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF Low
PRICES ON SUPPLIES

Orders for surplus army supplies
of foodstuffs are still being received
at the Brownsville postoffioe, but per-
CONS who expect to take advantage of
this opportunity to purchase supplies
at the government prices should get
their orders in Immediately. A num-
ber of orders have already been sent
in from the local post-office, and re-
ports from other parts of the country
indicate that thousands are purchas-
ing supplies from the government,
and the stock cannot last long.
Several clubs were formed here
for the purpose of taking advantage
of the low prices, the clubs making
the purchases in case lots, and as
soon as the supplies arrive they will
be distributed among the club mem
bers, each member to receive the
amount ordered. This has been
found a very satisfactory way of
making up the orders, and others who
are interested but cannot Individually
order case lots, can very easily form
club for the purpose of sending in
a big order.
