HIKE BIG FEATURE
AT TSOLD!ER.CA|NP
Entire Outfit Goes for Twelve
~ Mile Walking !; ;fIp Over e! Sc
West Virginia Hills.

All members of Camp Read,
with the exception of a few men
who were left to guard the camp,
went on a twelve-mile hike today.
Major H. B. Cornwell is in com
Smand of the expedition. Hill
clim bing is a big feature of the
hike-a big. feature Of every hike
taken in West Virginia. in fact
The men are carrying raw food
and are doing their own cooking
Instructions in individual cooking
are being given the men by the
army instructors.
Hike Starts Early
The party left early this morn
ing. It includes practically the
whole camp-the infantry com
panies, A. B and e; the machine
gun company, D; the military
nolice and the headquarters COM
pany.
IN all, there were about 50
men in the party, the largest h1k-
ing outfit seen in this section or
the state for number of years:
The return to camp is expected
some time this afternoon and 1T is
believed that the men will have
as much knowledge of hiking and
the preparation of meals en- route
as they could possibly have got IN
one day.
Last night the camp jokesters
were at work again. Some one
started "a rumor to the effect that
it was Private Frank Plata, the
white-pantalooned orderly, who had
taken the tooth which Bugler
iDonzis was saving for such time as
he should join the Elks.3
Claim Jealousy Motive.
The theft was committed. they
told Bugler Donzis, because the
tooth was being gfven more pub
licity than Platta's white pants.
Bugier Donzis Immediately began
an investigation of the Plata
:rumor.
There was considerable detective
work in camp and Donzis finally
emerged triumphant with the tooth
once more in his possession. The
battle of Bug1er Donzis and Private
Plata seems about ended unless
;theirS press agents can think up
some new publicity schemes.

AT LEAST SHE MADE ATTEMPT
But Probably Girl Is More Than Ever
Convinced Public Speaking Is
Not Her Forte.

My cousin had always been a most
timid girl, finding it difficult to say
much even before home folks, let alone
strangers.
She was a member of church So
ciety. One of the rules was that each
member must take some part in the
meetings. She had tried and tried, but
could never get her courage up at the
last minute.
Finally, the leader, to help her out.
gave her some Scripture verses to read.
They read as follows: "And bring
h.ther the fatted calf and kill it."
Maize started the verse, and to her
utter dismay, found herself saying
"And bring hither the Gated half and
fill it."
She could read no further and sat
down amid giggles.-Chicago Tribune
