Co. G. Invests Heavily
In Liberty Loan Bonds
Last week we put in most of the
tlm drilling. On Wednesday night,
last, the real tiling we were hoping
for conic oir when the company lined
up and nn.su eied roll call and then
marched over to the headquarters
building whole we received our first
money fiom Uncle Sam. On Thurs
day afternoon wo matched in early
and assembled over at u barrack where
our battalion listened to a patriotic
address by Captain Sims. The object
of the meeting was to get the boys
enthused in buying liberty bonds in
stead of spending their money foolish
ly. During the past two weeks the
boys in our company haVe taken over
15,000 woith of liberty bonds. They
have the privilege of paying $10 a
month on a bond instead of paying it
all at once.
Two of the platoons in this com
pany, the l.st and 4th, now have old
Springfield tides and bayonets to drill
with.
The people at homo should be glad
that they ate not hero us the dust
storms ate certainly fierce. Lots of
days we cannot sec more than fifty
feet in front of us.
Our battallion is now drilling on
the hills north of the camp. The
hills that wc have to climb over are
very steep and there are none in
Webster county that compare with
them. There arc a good many thous
and men, in the infantry who arc now
on..tHeills.r'
People who come here to visit their
sons or friends now have to get a pass
in order to visit the camp. Last Sat
urday afternoon several of the pri
vates in this company were taken over
to the hospital and given their third
shot in the arm. On Monday evening
wc had "shott arm" inspection and
the dentist looked over our teeth and
wo did not hae to turn out for re
treat. Several tliousand men from
hete have been shipped to Camp Cody,
Doming, New Mexico, for training.
We spent most of the week at skir
mish and extended order drill, also
had platoon and company drill. On
Thursday afternoon before goingout
to drill this battallion listened to a
patriotic speech by a Captain in this
battallion. On Saturday morning wc
woie to have teginiental inspection
but owing to the fact that it rained a
little we had company inspection in
stead and also spent a short time at
rifle aiming and oidcrs of sentinels,
