Tourney Basketball Team
Wins Goshen Game;
Bny Baseballs
Especial to the Democtat)

Thomaston, March 26-Camp
Roberts basketeers after an en-
forced idleness of nearly three
weeks showed the disastrous result
of lack of practice and again tast-
ed defeat at the hands of their
CCC rivals from Camp Tourney
Tuesday night. The game was
played in the Goshen town hall
and proved spirited affair and
was well attended by men from
both camps. Before the game the
Camp Roberts players were guests
Of the 1891 company at supper.
Thursday night the bowling team
representing the Camp Roberts
Fireside club will meet a like or
ganization from the 176th emo
many, Burrville, at Torrington.
William Nalewaik, shoot moth
foreman, Herbert Hinsch, topo-
graphical surveyor, w. p. Colvin.
gypsy moth foreman, and Everett
Koltz, mason foreman, are the for
esters on the team while Lieuten-
ant Frank d. Lindahl is the army
member.
Baseball activities are increasing
daily and the new supply of base
balls is being thoroughly tried out.

lose several valuable players by
discharge the last day of this
month but it is hoped that, the new
requirements will furnish the ma
terial to stop the gaps.
The order making it impossible
for men who have been in the
Civilian Conservation corps for two
six months enrollments to enroll
for the third six months has in
creased the number of men being
discharged from this company
from rs to 40. The spirit of COM
radeship is strong in this company
and it is with genuine regret that
the remainder will see these forty
men go on March 31st. Only six
men will be denied reenrollment
as being undesirable, in itself an
indication of the quality of the
175th company as u whole.
The 175th company will hold
farewell dance on March 28th,
1894, for the men who are to be
discharged at the end Of the
month.

Good Evening.
OF THE SEASON

OF THE SEASON
Winters almost over
Bluebirds on the wing;
And won't we all be glad
To hear the brides sing
Casters round the corner
With Dummies in the shops, \
All set for springtime
Unless the mercury drops.
Get out the old maple buckets,
Watch the new sap run,
For. it's time and plenty
And winters just about done.
Look over last years finery
If you can't afford some new;
It's a Merry Easter
We're wishing now to you.

FOR A GOOD HUSBAND

Somebody has said that a woman
gets a husband the same way she
gets a. fur coat-by starting out af-
ter it. For the girls who are hus-
band hunting, here are 10 rules on
the qualifications of a good husband
given by a well-known Washing
ton minister in sermon on that
important" subject:
"A man should have the proper
regard for the sacredness and dig
nifty of the position of husband.
"He should have character. II is
what a man is in the dark.
The husband should understand
little attentions. Don't stop with the
candy and flowers after the wedding
is over. Don't fail to see and appre-
ciate the little things that the wife
is doing. Also tell her from time to
time how pretty and sweet she is.
Even If you have to stretch 1t bit
at times.
