nosha has always. Contributed her bit
and her quota. to- the state and the
government in time of need and her
good record is being kept up by the
members of Troop E, First Wisconsin
Cavalry. The United States govern
ment has thirty-two horses here that
are constantly being utilized by the
members of the troop. The troop
drills each Saturday afternoon, Sunday
morning and Monday evening. Any
and all Of the people are invited to
come out to the south lake shore by
the sand dunes each Saturday after
noon or Sunday morning and see the
boys put their horses through their
PAGES. You'll be surprised.
Go to Camp Douglas.
Troop E will entrain some time this
summer for a two weeks mobilization
at Camp Douglas which is Wisconsin's
concentration camp. Here all the ma
tional guard units in the state will
meet and have daily contests. Rigid
inspections will be held at the camp
and the fellows put to every army test.

Adiutant Gives Ruling.
There has been wide spread publicity
concerning the pay given the soldiers
when they are in camp for the two
weeks of mobilization. The latest rul-
ing made by the adjutant general, Or
lando Holway, is to the effect that
privates will receive 81 so a day, cor
porals s175, sergeants $500 and 1928
for first sergeants with rations for all
enlisted men. This is in refutation
of the report that privates would re-
ceive $500 day while in camp.

corning this in the "Doings Of Troop
E" column that is being run semi
weekly in the local papers. Read the
