HETTER THAN OLD OJNE i (In Camp, Fort Sill, Aug. 7.) Home folks could have thrown out their chests Sunday evening when the Old Home Town band gave its first concert, held In front of Col.

D. Mc-Howans headquarters, after which licv. Mr. Blackman, Fighting Parson, climbed into an army truck, gave one of his characteristic soldior talks. During the World war Parson Black-man was chaplain of the 130th regiment.

The 130th band had BO players, Chaplain Blackman said that it thrilled him to think that he had the new 130th band aUhe encampment. He said he used tolhtnk that his old band overseas was about the best he ever heard. "After hearing this wonderful concert tonight by the new 130th band, I have decided that it plays better than old band I loved bo well," said Chaplain Blackman. After band played several marches, Warrant Officer Harnack asked the preacher prize fighter, "How about a fox trot?" "That would be fine," quickly replied the parson. lie with a Smile," was the popular fox trot the band' played.

The parson "knew his stuff," as that put the several hundred soldiers in fine humor to listen to his sermon. Parson made special request for "Poet and ant," one of the standard numbers and perhaps one of the most difficult selections' in band programs. To do it well requires a big reed section. Our band is short on clarinets, but with that Hiawatha spirit "do your best," the band redoubled its efforts. Alex McCrerey, that veteran clarinet soloist played so well, carrying the lead alone, there was no noticeable weakness in the reed section.

Every number by the band was cattily applauded. After reading a chapter from the Bible, Chaplain Blackman delivered a 20 minute sermon. He was loudly cheered. After climbing down from his army truck-pulpit he hastened to the band, shook hands with Warrant Officer Harnack and every member of the band. rfhe band never received warmer praise from anyone than that bestowed upon it by Chaplain Blackman.

Shower baths are life-savers at the encampment. Monday afternoon at 'about 5:30 a dust storm came up. Talk about clouds of dust; it was so dense soldiers actually became lost, some could not find their way to their tents until after it abated. Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas soil all mixed up together, made unusual variety of scenery. A good deal of this said scenery found lodging places on the faces of Boldlers and their anatomy in general.

Harry Hanney is a shower enthusiast, will have one installed in his Hiawatha home. Monday night he enjoy- ed the exhuberent sensation. In the bath house there are places for men. to put their shoes while taking shower. Private Hanney placed his shoes on the spot with ease.

After taking the bath, washing sand from his feet ho was an inch too short to reach his shoes. He had to call for help to get his Officer Harnack has become so enthusiastic for Oklahoma, Fort Sill in particular, it a said that he has called on several real estate men to see about buying a quarter section. He says an enjoyable feature of this country Is that one does not have to be bothered about sprinkling lawns. Andrews: That sure was some dirty politics To-peka newspaper reporter tried to put over on Corporal Lambertson, by reporting in the Kansas City Star that Lambertson failed to show up for the -encampment and perhaps would hare trouble with military authorities. Corporal Lambertson lias been on the Job every minute, is a good soldier, ands is not looking for soft Bnaps.

Monday morning he went to the stables, groomed 4 horses, hitched up several teams, then took, charge of a detail that unloaded hay for several Lawrence, Battery is another soldier who will not re turn to Hiawatha. He expects to go from here to Fort Bliss and enlist in the regulars. He will be a horseshoer. Werecke, solo cornetist and assistant bandmaster of the Post band, was a pleasant caller at Warrant Officer Harnacka quarters Tuesday morning. While the band was playing a concert Monday evening, Werecke stepped up behind Private Hanney, tapped him on on the shoulder.

Werecke was with Abdallah Shrine band at Frisco a few weeks ago. concert will be played this evening. Feature number will Js9 a baritone eolo by Sergt. U. G.

Monday night our band went down the street and serenaded the Texan A regit- lur from tht Fort made a slighting re- scrReant. To make It impressive tne Texas sergeant delivered a blow to the regulars jaw, knocking him down. The regular got Hp and "beat it" for the Post, the Texan in hot pursuit.

Ho kicked the regular several times in the bosom of hfs trousers, told the fellow to stay away from the camp until he could learn how to appreciate a good band. Major Jimmy Wise had been laid up with a strained ankle, but is better Private Burr Swartz fell asleep Sunday night while on guard duty at the stables. Sergt. Fields found Swartz sitting on a pile of fertilizer. Touching Swartz on the Bhoulder the young guard jumped up and began going 'round and 'round, yelling "Halt, whos there?" Sergt.

Fields told him that a pile of fertilizer made a poor bed, did not need guarding. Frankie Pearl has been slightly indisposed. His health shows marked improvement every time mess call is sounded. F. W.

How Is this for being good to "a soldier: Tuesday evening after Homer Green felt well enuf to eat some, Sergt. Sapp made a run from mess hall to Private Greens tent. Altho It was hot enuf to melt a postage stamp from an envelope, Sergt Sapp carried a tray of ice cream and the distance was as far as from the Hiawatha depot to Curt Finleys drug younger fellows watch the mail boxes. They say th(A Corporal Wayland Richards hurries to service Battery mall box every time he hears a freight train whistle. Corp.

Richards is drawing mail, too. there is one thing in the entire state of Oklahoma that might be an inducement to Service Battery soldiers to stay down here it would be Sergt. Hohnbaum, mess sergeant, and Sam Huber, cook. "Just like home is the way the boys feel about their eats. We have had large trays of ice cream and peaches 2 different times; steak, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, fried potatoes, beans, noodles, cantaloupes.

We hear soldiers from other units complaining about not having good food. That will be our last kick on the way Uncle Sam is treating us down here ln Oklahoma. Herman, affectionately known by hundreds of soldiers as "Pop" Herman, is as popular as ever. He Is a comrade to every sol-t dier, always has time to listen to a complaiut or do something to hiake camp life more pleasant. Bill Hardy is living up to hisculinary reputation.

Battery boys are fat and sleek, showing result of more home cooking. No other batteries in the entire camp are -as fortunate as the Hiawatha batteries. Professional cooks and caterers, if you please. Tuesday ev ening while Service Battery was at mess, Sergt. Hohnbaum saw a wagon load of cantaloupes passing.

He ran out, stopped huckster and bot enuf melons for breakfast Wednesday morning. Warden, who was taken to the base hospital, suffering from acute attack of appendicitis, will not have to undergo an operation now. He is much improved, will be able to return to his quarters with Battery in a few days. Roy Tryon and Private Albaugh will perhaps be decorated with medals when the "war closes." Tuesday while they were engaged in hauling refuse that had been burned, floor of the wagon caught fire. They made a heroic run to a horse tank where they extinguished the bluze, even at great risk of their lives.

Acting Corporal Conklin and Private Dean Miller were out on the plains searching for machine gun nests, they found a small head stone that evidently had marked the resting place of famous Indian chief. With a hammer and a sharp-pointed nail they chiseled this inscription on the marble slab: "Gone to J. B. Millar." It was placed at the head of Mr. Millers cot.

All members of Service Battery gathered around the, cot and viewed the head piece. J. B. will take the head stone back to Hiawatha to show that he is officially Hiawatha soldiers were in i truck detail, Tuesday. Their time was up at 4 o'clock.

A captain appeared on the scene and inquired why the detail was not taken ln at 4 o'clock, it then being after 6. A Hiawatha soldier was sent to find the lieutenant. He had been taking a nap. Green, Service Battery, had a close call from serious injury Tuesday aft ernoon when he fell backwards from a load of baled hay. Green dropped about 8 feet, striking on his head.

He was unconscious' when Cheal reached his side. He regained con sciousness in a few minutes and was carried to quarters ort a cot. Cheal a. liaj mtit Weill, oil with Green perhaps saved Green from being run over by the truck, The bale of hay pushed him away from the truck heel. Band re- AT SUN SPRINGS I Tuesday.

There were about 2T.0 in attendance. They left the church at 9:30 a. m. Jn automobiles and trucks, There was a great spread at noon in the shade of those beautiful walnut trees. The swimming was fine.

The swings were long, high, rode easily. The gii Is used the swings, the boys the swimming pool. The Baptists held their picnic Tuesday at Sun Springs. The 2 Sunday schools ate their dinners sufficiently close together to swap Kl'tlh. The BapMsts are good cooks.

They had a barrel of coffee. They shared it with the Methodists. It was good made by V. F. l.uesley.

John got very busy, as any body would, and found everything but his shoes and socks. John said he did not like to lose his shoes but got about even with the man when he took his socks.

This was not John the Baptist. Dr. Merrltt, former Baptist pastor, whom the Methodists llko ns well as tho Baptists, attended the picnic. Both Sunday schools were glad to have him present.

When Ills motor fir was struck by a train Mayor 1'aulson, of Manitou leaped from his seat at the wheel to the pilot of the locomotive, cling ing to an Iron brace saw hfs uutorno tile ground to splinters and strewn along tho track. Ho was only Hlightly Hhaken up. Next timo ho will stop look, listen. I muddy road costs more than a paved road. An auto will last 3 times as long driven ot a paved road.

A paved road can be built along road front of a big farm for less than city property owner pays for paving in front of his 50 foot lot. This paved road can bo used all kinds of weather. There is no mud to wade thru In rainy weather, no dust to cover the mi house inside and out in dry wea ther. Paving wjtl mako Wathena a bigger, better town. With a good system of waterworks the town can reasonably expect to double population of home owners.

A fried chicken dinner was served visitors to Wa thena by Wathena Auxiliary to Le gion post. More than this number on Id n't be served, there were thai many persons from St. Joseph alone, ir a solid procession of St. Joseph ars nearly 2 miles long. The Aux iliary to Legion post proposes to erect a monument to tho soldier dead of Doniphan county ln tho public square at.

Wathena. More than 3,000 persons, many farmers from all over Doniphan county, heard the good roads speeches. L. A. Libel was a fine toastmnster.

Mayor of St. Joseph, Cico. T. English, C. W.

Ryan, Ewing Herbert, Wes Connot made good speeches. Doniphan people can figure rad cost for themselves. They do not take paved road poison propaganda scattered by those opposed, to progress, to betterment of roadways. They know that neither a dusty road nor muddy road Is anything like as good as a paved road. They know that a dirt road costs more than a paved road.

Most all money spent on a dirt road Is wasted, in a little whllo nil the work done has to be dono again. Dirt road causes wear on autos that in a year would pay for a paved road that would preserve autos for several years. A paved road means comfort in all kinds of weather. A paved road across Kansas on I'ikes Peak trail will bo met nt state line, carried on by other states to Pacific coast. At Missouri lino tho Pikes Peak road wifl bo carried across tho state, then on across other states to New York, so, if we do our part wo can Boon huvo a main highway that wo can travel in nil sorts of weather oast-west across the American continent.

Tho Wuthena-Ht. Joseph pco-plo nro working towards making the Missouri river bridge a free bridge. Thero should bo no more toll to cross a bridge than to cross a paved road. A feature of the evening program was tho introduction of those who had given extra good service to building of paved road from Wathena to St. Joseph.

The mayor of Wathena was at first opposed to it because of ex- penso, but afterwards ho changed his mind, saw that it would cost more to do without the road, so he became one of best paved road boosters. The gold slat mothers of the Legion Auxiliary post were presented to tho audience. All present stood up in their honor. The Wathena memorial to soldiers Is as good as built. Tho money will bo given.

All are for It. CAR RURNED; THIEVES FINISHED THE JOB John W. Cowan, Henry C. Cowan, of Kt. Joseph, representatives of the J.

Warrant Officer Jnson, First Field Artillery band, at Fort Sill Post, heard our band at rehearsal Friday morning. He told Warrant Officer Harnack that the 130th band Js the best National Guard band he ever heard. While the band was rehearsing, Glenn Rail, trombone player, decided that Warrant Officer Jason was his band leader overseas; sure enuf he was.
