Rooster From France
Still Serves His Post

Statesville, Oct. 4.-"Pete," the big
red rooster which the boys picked up
in Bresr, France, in 1917, and re-
mained with the soldiers at the front
until the armistice was signed, is still
one of the mascots. "Pete". was
gassed while in the trenches at the
front, and while his eyesight has
grown dim and his legs are becoming
weak, he still enjoys a good appetite
and is otherwise in good physical trim.
Another mascot which is accompany
ing the artillery on the trip across the
state is "Joe," the Shepherd dog
which also was with the soldiers III
France and is noted for his good sense
ard fine training. He will do any
thing he is told to do. A monkey and
other dogs are also mascots accom-
panying the boys along the way.

Although spring practice has not
