" It is pretty hard to assert your' independence
and defy the world when you have an empty

The prudent man who has saved a little, who .
has a reserve at the bank to tide him over a '
month or two. isn't so afraid of sickness, nor '
such a coward about being out of a job. A
bank account is a sVimulant to real manhood.
The larger the account the firmer the footing.
It breeds self-confidence, is proof of efficiency
and is an ever-present resource in time of
need. It's not what a man earns in a year
that gives him a surplus at the bank, it's
what he saves.

A Message from the Camp
September 15, 1017.
To tho Friends I left Behind:
Being that nobody hns written n
threatening letter unci all were able to
survive the first spasm that I wrote,
will try and give you a second doso.
Well, on Monday morning early wo
started out to learn the art of sol
diery. Before breakfast every morn
ing" we have physical culture, and af
ter breakfast wc also have exercise.
Then wc spend two hours of hard
work at drilling, after which wc spend
some time at gun exercises and bay
onet drill after which wc drill some
more before dinner.
After dinner wo drill awhile and
then our captain gives us lectures on
sentinel duty and then all the pri
vates and officers of this regiment
gather and hear a lecture by Major
Kislcr on the art of soldiery. On
Wednesday afternoon all the compan
ies turned out and we marched about
two miles on an expedition. Our
company has been busy at their spaje
time learning the sentinel's orders as
wc will soon go on guard duty. There
is more barracks going up every day
and there is certainly a large number
of laboring men hero busy working
day and night.
In the morning wc can see the sol
diers from Ft. Riley drilling on the
hills about two miles north of here.
Last Sunday afternoon we moved
to our permanant barracks and it was
certainly a job as wc had to carry
our beds and personal belongings
about seven blocks. If any of y6u
folks should come down here you will
find us a block south of the exchange
store.
Orin Goodrich of Nelson, who is 'a
member of our company, is now bu
gler for the regiment and ho is a
number one musician. Three or four
of our company arc going to study to
bo cooks. I "had a chance to learn
but turned it down as the out-door
life looks better to inc.
This morning wo marched about
three-quarters of a milo in double
quick time, and wo were all glad to
lest at the proper time.
This afternoon we moved the sup
plies from the headquarters building
over to our barracks for the boys who
arc soon to be with us and tomorrow
wo take life easy.
At G:10 every afternoon we. have
retreat and wc all turn out at paiade
drill while the "bugler plays to the
colors while the flag is being lowered.
On Saturday morning wo have in
spection and each private has to have
his shoes shincd nnd clothes spick and
span. Every morning the officers,
Captain Fisher, Lieutenants Bartel,
Miliken and Wilkins and Sergeant
Hoffman come in and inspect our bar
racks. Wc each have to stand at the
foot of tho bed and have the floor
clean and the blankets folded up
i ight or else wc get "balled out " if
everything is not up to snuff.
This week the Thirteenth Infantry
arrived from the Philippine Islands
and Sergeant Hoffman and Corporal
Sullivan have been assigned to our
company and they are certainly fine
men and good companions.
As it is near bedtime I will close
for this time.
