WONDERFUL MENUS SERVED
EVERY DAY AT c. N. 7. C..
Head Chef Shows Remarkable Talent In
Economy; Only 20 Cents For
Each Man A Day

/ fruit ice cream, 80 pounds Of choco-
late cake, so loaves of bread, 7
pounds of butter and 80 gallons of
lemonade.
One would think, after consuming
such an appalling quantity of food,
that the lads would be ready to call
it day, but when one does enter
tain such thoughts one doesn't
know the G. NJ T. c. boys.
Light Evening Meal
There had to be another meal at
6 p. M, and while it was a bit
lighter than the noon mess. there
was plenty. It consisted of 95 pounds
OF minced ham, potato salad made
OF 100 pounds of potatoes, two doz-
ems of eggs, three gallons of oil, 10
pounds of onions, eight punches of
celery, one gallon of pickles and one
quart of vinegar; hot rolls, which
were made of 80 pounds of flour, 2
pounds of lard, pounds of sugar
and 4 loaves of yeast; 7 pounds of
butter, 20 cans of assorted jam and
90 gallons of iced tea.
Each meal is scientifically plan
ned and perfect, balanced ration
is served. Fresh fruit is served once
day and fresh vegetables twice a
day. Coffee is only served at break
fast. Milk is served twice every day.
Everything is cooked in the camp
kitchen under the able diection of
Sergeant Henry Davis, of the Head
quarters company. He has Is men
to assist in preparing and serving
each meal, and what meals they are.
Davis is a postmaster as chef
and he keeps his kitchen fairly
shining. There is not speck of
dirt from the floor to the ceiling
and the dishes and pots and pans
are all sterilized after each meal.
The most amazing of all is the
cost of feeding that little army of
youngsters. Uncle Sam allows each
man only 10 cents day for mess,
and the cook is never allowed to ex-
ceed that figure. All of the buying
and planning for every meal is done
by Sergeant Davis.
You will agree, if your son hap
pens to be attending the G. M. T. c.,
that he is being well fed.
Nogales international., 1930-07-29

Should there be any doubt in the
minds of Nogalians that the lad:
who are attending the Citizens Mil
ltary Training Camp at Camp Lit
tie are not being properly taken care
OF, 1t is recommended that they visit
the camp, inspect the quarters ano
then drop in the big mess hall at
meal time.
When Uncle Sam does anything
he does it right and this certainly
applies to the G. M. T. c. The rail-
road fares of the boys were paid
by Uncle Sam as well as all of
their expenses while here, and the
young men are given training in
military stactics, discipline, citizen
ship and athletics that far surpas-
ses a months course in the finest
universities of the country.
Especial attention is paid to the
task OF properly feeding the young
Sters and it is astounding the GUAM
tity of food consumed by the $50
sturdy young men who are now at
the camp.
Breakfast Menu
For example, Sundays breakfast
menu included $50 cantaloupes, 30
boxes of rice flakes, 1926 pints of
milk, Is pounds of bacon, 80 dozens
OF eggs, 100 pounds of potatoes.
Tried IN 10 pounds of lard, 40 loaves
OF bread, toasted and spread with
Z pounds of butter, and IA pounds
of coffee.
Anyone will agree that that was
some breakfast, and yet in less than
TOUR hours time the youngsters
we're hungry again and they were
served with 28O pints of milk and
$50 graham crackers. Some days,
instead Of crackers, they are given
hot, homemade doughnuts.
Chicken Dinner
The noon mess wasn't bad, either.
and there was plenty of it. The
menu included 80 gallons of cream
Of tomato soup, so boxes of crack
ers, 254 pounds of chicken, 100
pounds of potatoes, mashed, 80 doz-
ems of corn on the cob, 8 cans of
Jelly, one gallon of dill pickles, five
of celery, Is gallons of

with a decision that made her voice
almost harsh.
"Please do" Again his tone was
that of an older brother, and again
she met the quiet regard of those
dependable brown eyes. They held nc
suspicion, no curiosity, not even too
obtrusive sympathy.
IF you are right about the hotel"
she said, II can go back there and
look at the register Then l can get
IN touch with my family and friends,
If | have any. l suppose I must have

"Of course you have" he told her.
But you may be all over this before
iyou get downtown"
| He saw her fps relax IN sotnetEine
that was almost smile.
Thank you so much. I'm trying
to keep steady" she said, rising as she
spoke; but want to get to that
hotel as soon as can, and look myself
up. Isn't it weird situation?" she
added, with something that was half
a laugh and half a strangled sob.
Where is the Garland?"
He told her. "I'll get taxicab for
you," he added.
AS they waited together at the
curb he asked impulsively:
'Will you let me go with you? I
might be of some use. But of course
that's for you to decide"
An empty cab approached and stop
ped at his signal. He helped her into
it, repeated the address to the driver,
and stepped back from the curb, bare
headed, accepting her silence as dis
missa1.
mo, no." she cried. "Get in,
please. I'd rather have you with me-"
"I'm glad of that" he said as lie
took his place beside her. "But I
think your troubles will soon be over"
She was becoming more hopeful, TOO.
She had the feeling of one who, from
the bottom of black pit into which
he has fallen, sees a glimpse of light
at its mouth. Yet suppose this
Good Samaritan was mistaken?
"The Garland's a nice old hotel"
she heard him say, with the matter
of-factness that was so cheering. ITO
my mind it's the best of the hotels
of its type-the kind that used to be
fashionable before the city moved away
from them"
He saw that she was not listening,
and he decided to risk a small expert
ment.
do you know what city you're in?"
he asked her.
mo, not even that"
This is New York"
"Oh New York; She raised
a lighted face to him.
That means something to You,
doesn't it?"
Eyes" Her face sE1adowed again
and puckered like frightened cl1ilds.
But don't know just what it means
I've been here, or whether
I've just read about it."
You were on Fifth Avenue when
you waited for the bus"
Fifth Avenue" She repeated the
words, but vaguely. He went on talk-
ing, pointing out the city's landmarks,
hoping that one of them would ring
a BELL" as he mentally expressed it
but again she hardly listened. She
was following her own reflections, and
now he learned what they were.
Il have horror of becoming a
case" she said in shaking voice.
rs there any way of learning who I !
am without letting others know what's
wrong ?-without really asking at the
desk, I mean"

'I'm wondering if you can be miss
taken,' she faltered. II don't rel
member seeing you"
"You wouldn't" he cheerfully adj
mitted, answering the second remark
first. you've never even looked my
way. But I'm not mistaken. And I
saw you sitting in front of me last
night, enjoying The Wild Rose It's
one of the best of the musical come
dies, isn't it?"
She drew a quick breath. Some
thing far down within her had re-
sponded to that, as if touched cord
had strongly vibrated. Yet she
could not remember. She called
on her courage and it rallied
I'm going to trust you," she said,
Nogales international., 1930-07-29

"Oh, all right" he said easily, but
with steady eyes on her face.
Thought you mighta lost somethin'
from that purse.a
She had feeling that she was in
deadly peril. Another moment, and he
would be leading her away, to be asked
questions she couldn't answer. She
must keep steady. -.
Clearly, it would not do to 1inger
there much longer, and when another
omnibus had come and gone she
turned away, choosing a cross-street on
an impulse to get from under the
officers eyes.
She had walked half block before
she dared to glance back to see if the

not, but some one else had; and ever
as she turned the pursuer spoke.
pardon me. But can I help you in
any way?" he asked.
She stared at him with an uprush OF
anger. Must she be bounded by the
inquisitive, or driven mad by some
street lizard? But the voice was an
agreeable one, and the face at which
she looked matched it. 1t was the
tanned, smooth-shaven face of young
man in the middle twenties, with thick
brown hair, good features, and unus-
ually heavy eyebrows. She had seen
him among those near her while she
! waited for the omnibus.
Pardon me-" he repeated, and she
saw that he held his straw hat in his
hand. "You seem to be in some kind
of trouble" Seeing the panic in her
eyes, he added hastily: GAS we're
guests at the same hotel, thought
you might let me help you out"
Notwithstanding his tact and his
casual tone, the young man was rather
overwhelmed by the way the girls
white face seemed to flash into flame
as she heard his words. He had been
right, then. Something was wrong
with her, and it was no trife, either.
"Oh," she gasped, you kuo1V me?"
He controlled his surprise at the
strangeness of question and manner,
telling himself he must get to the bot
tom of this. The girl was up against
something and was frightened out of
her wits.
Il DON'T" he regretfu1ly admitted,
except by sight. But I've seen you
at the table next to mine in the hotel
dining-room these last three nights,
and that makes me feel that I know
you. Perhaps it gives me the right
to offer help, if you need any"
He stopped, and for a moment
steadily met what was, he afterwards
told himself, the strangest look he had
ever seen in a girls eyes. 1t held
many things, of which the chief was
fear, with suspicion added, as we'll as
hesitation, and dawning, indescrib-
ably pathetic hope.
A little farther down the block
public building stood, surrounded by
small park whose outstanding features
were fountain, a few trees, and half
a dozen benches. He indicated it with
a nod.
I'VE can't stand here. Let's go into
that park" he suggested, in the tone
of an older brother. Then you can
tell me what's wrong"
He moved forward as he spoke,
assuming that she would go with him,
and she went, in silence. That much |
chance, she told herself, she could
take-that much and no more.
He walked on with strides adapted
to her shorter steps and she kept
close beside him, realizing even in the
chaos of the moment that she was
beginning to trust him. If he had |
suddenly left her she would have felt |
that her last hope had gone, too
that he had broken her only tie with |
the living world around her. She was
like lost and terrified child to whom |
a kind stranger has held out a guild
ing hand.
He found seats on bench so close
to the fountain that its flying spray
came almost to their feet. Any girl,
she told herself, could trust that nice,
tanned, clean-cut, typical American
face. Nevertheless, she hesitated to
speak. :.
What hotel" she asked at last,
"were you speaking of just now?"
He warned himself not to show
surprise at anything she said.
why, the Garland" he told her.

Supply Purchases to

The best way to restore public
confidence in business and bring
about a prompt revival of trade
In all lines is for large purchasers
to 90 into the market and buy

dent of the United Gas Improve

ness conditions and prices,
Mr.. Zimmerman believes, have
reached the turning point up
ward, which will make purchases
at a later date less favorable.
Supporting this belief he has
addressed a letter to the local
MANAGEMENT of all U. G. I. sub
sidiary companies In which he
suggests that they at once antici-
pate their normal requirements
for several months and place
orders.

said, "and that improvements
in business conditions may make

gradual improvement"

second of the large utility CON-
panies to announce making pur-
chases at the present time.
Western Electric recently, an.
nounced that in view of the pre-
vailing low level of copper prices,
1t was buying in comparatively
large quantities.
From Cleveland another note
of optimism is struck by DIR.
David Friday, economist, who in
an address before the Cleveland
Chamber of Commerce, forecasts
a sure but slow recovery in bust
ness for the remainder of the

in 1881 with 1882 probably an
other record year.

REPORT CUTTEN
WHEAT PROFIT

While the Russian government
has cleaned UP around s40O, 900
selling grain short in the Chicago
market, the big American opera
tors have been making a killing
of several millions on the bear
side. it was learned today.
Arthur w. Cutten, largest indi-
vidual trader in grain, is reported
to have made $25, 900 900 in the
Chicago Board of Trades wheat
pit this year.
Wheat's Slump
Wheat this year has fallen from
above $1.25 bushel to around 80
cents a bushel now.
Compared to the profit of the
bear spectators, the Federal Firm
Board, with its 60,000,000 bushels
of wheat bought at an average
price of 81 .25 a bushel, has a paper
loss of So! ,000,0
Cutten learned the technique of
the grain market as bookkeeper to
the president of the Chicago Board
OF Trade, A. s. Whiteback, in 1897.
Within 10 years he was million
aire.
Back in 1925 he cleaned up $14,-
100000 in reported operations in
wheat and rye. The year before
he was reported to have netted
around 50, 10000 in corn.
Cash Operations
Cutten's boast is that his grain
operations are usually in cash. He
has not always been on the win
ming side, though back in 1922 he
was nipped for a fortune in the
May ;queeze" in wheat.
