would go places when he got start
ed. 1t seems he is on the way, as

flows in his veins. We quote as fol-

They claim they feed man every
minute. Well they feed $4,000 in

600 per sitting and they are coming
and going all the time. You just
keep walking just like you were
marching, grab plate and silver on

weeks or more, not more than 80
weeks at the most. Cpl. j. w.
