Mississippi Makes
Enough Butter To
Supply Memphis

For the purpose Of discussing a cam
paign for the extensive marketing OF
butter from the tri-state creamerles in
Memphis, L. s. Edwards. Of Tupelo,
Miss, arrived in Memphis Thursday
morning to confer with H. o. Pate,
market director Of the Chamber Of Com
merce farm bureau. Mr.. Edwards said
that he and Mr.. Pate have been figur-
on a plan to induce some local broker
to handle the product'o of seven or eight
creameries in Mississippi and Arkansas,
put on an advertising campaign to in
troduce the product and supply Mem
phfans with Southern butter that will
surpass the best that can be had from
the West or North. Mr.. Edwards fig
ures that the output OF some eight
creameries will supply all the butter
that Memphis needs and will do away
with the necessity OF importing the
greater quantity Of butter consumed
here from Illinois and other states.
Relative TO the quality OF Mississippi
butter, Mr.. Edwards declared that there
is none better. Butter made In Mis-
sissippi has not lost a prize in any con-
test in the South In three years. he
said, and has beat the product of other
sections in national farm and dairy
shows.

MONTHS AGO IN FRANCE

The base hospital canteen was the
scene of a most unusual occurrence
the other day. The beginning of the
story goes back to last August and
to the land of the poilu. One of
the principals is Lewis Reuben, whose
home is in Baltimore, and who is
member of the 313th Infantry, Com
pany b. The other man is not identi-
fled as to name, but was assigned to
Reuben's company for only two days
last August, and was then transferred
to some other unit. During those
two days Reuben lent his unknown
comrade in -arms $40. With the sud-
den departure of their recipient went
all of Reuben's hope of seeing his
ten bones again.
Reuben went up to the front line
and was wounded October %. After
spending several months in hospitals
he at last came back to Meade. The
next act in the dramatic climax,
IL you please-is staged in the base
hospital canteen barber shop. The
other day Reuben here met his bene-
ficiary. who Immediately handed over
the $40 with evident delight-'tis
strange but true. And it speaks to
us of the honesty of the doughboy
who could make a ten-spot stretch
over two worlds and six months of
time.

What the Depot Brigade Is.

The Depot Brigade is not a
place, primarily, where green
men or rockies are broken into
the service.
For the benefit of the overseas
men who are gathering here in
large numbers in the brigade
and being discharged, in case
they be casuals, it is stated with
authority that the term de
pot means a congregating spot,
i sort of central point from
which men may go in any direc-
lion.
The brigade is used, there
fore, as a unit through which
men go when coming into the
Army and when going out. They
should not apply to it any sug-
gkstion of inferiority, as many
0f the best men in the Army
have remained in the Depot Bri-
gade through force of circum-
stanees, not through failure or
fault of their own. The men of
the cadres and the officers have
done their "darndest" to be
Transferred, but in thousands of
eases. without success. The
Army needed the battalions.
In order to have men who are
qualiied and able, from a physi-
cal standpoint, to do the work Of
discllarging men from overseas
the Depot Brigade is being
maintained. 1t does not detract
IN the least from a soldiers serv-
70 record to have it said that
Ne was discharged from the

THURSDAY. MARCH Q. 1919.
Au Revoir, Mr.. Baldwin.

A mere statement of regret at
the going away of Camp General
Secretary Edward c. Baldwin of
the "Y" would not express the
feelings of the men of this camp
who have come into contact
with him in his service of more
than thirteen months in Meade.
1t would not be too much to
say that no other man who has
been associated with the training
of the soldiers of the 10Th and
18th divisions and allied units
has made so many real friends.
The departure of a man like
this is a distinct loss.
Mr.. Baldwin's friendship was
the kind which rang true. He
wanted to give man the best
he had to give and it was for this
reason that he took firm stands
on many subjects. There was
no dilly-dallying about his adj
ininistration of the "Y." He
said what he thought and did
not hesitate to do so on the pub
lie platform. He was essentially
an administrator and his work
will stand out strongly among
all the work done by the War
Work Council.
A lady who knew him only
slightly and saw him very infre-
quently once said II love that
mani and this was the way
people felt toward him general
ly. He had Christians smile
and it was one which was a
mighty great help to every one
who knew him.
He takes.hold of the "Y" work
in the Underwater District" at
Newport News, where twenty
camps will come under his min
istrations, and his friends in
Meade say goodbye to him re-
gretfully, but wish for him the
best of earth's and Gods richest
blessings.
