On Monday our liour.s weie changed nrain on account of the fact that we were being diilled at too fast a pace and nlbo that a huge number of the I men were down on the Hick list. The i doctors come over and examine the sick ones twice a day and most every day two or tlnee aie sent to the hos pital at Ft. Kiley. Four or five of our company have the measles now. Wo now diill from 8 to 12 in the morning and in the aftclnoou listen to a few Iodines by the Captain and Lieutenants on Military Couitcsy and (Juaid Duty, and spend the balance of the af lei noon playing games. Wed nesday those who pay attention and diill good during tlio other days get a half day oil" fiom now on. This week our Fiist Lieutenant, Mr. Towers, anived and took up his du ties. Ho has had 18 years experience in the aimy and is ceitainly a lino officer. Lieutenant Miliken also came back and took up his duties. It goes without saying that we have the best bunch of olficers in the tegiment, and wo ceitainly appieciatc wiiat tuey aie doing for us. On account of so much sickness wo now have to carry our bed? out doors in the morning and leave them out In the air alj day, and they got awful dusty on windy days. On Saturday the second battalion, which we aie in, moved sevcial blocks east fiom wheic we wore. The whole logiment moved dining the past few nays The first of a number of electric markers has been installed on the Fourth avenue and Webster square. The same will not only regulate the turning of shoit comers by autoists but it also adds considciablc to the beauty of the old town. Several more will be installed within a short time. They Win At Last On the last dav of the Fnrmers' In stitute, Friday, November Dth, occurred one 01 uie most intcrosliim and excit ing games of the season nolweon the' homo boys and Supeiior. J Lnst our Superior dofoated Hod Cloud about 21 to 0, so oory one ox-J pectod to see a good fiust game and were not disappointed. Those who. failed to see the yamc last Friday miss- ed one ot tho best games of the season but they can make up for it by nttond-l the gnuie next Friday between Red. Cloud and McCook. McCook defeated Rod Cloud last vear at McCook by a score ot about 17 to G. This year tho boys expect to wipe out last year's score 1 and nlbo run up an additional score to make up for tho lack of interest on last ' year's scoi e. Everyone who would like ' to see a good fast game bo sure and ( come to Koontz's tield at !h00 P. M. , next Friday, November lfith. The, game started Friday with Red , Cloud loccivitigat south goal. Super iorkept the ball well within Red Cloud's territory all through the fust half but could not make the few additional yard& needed to make n touchdown. It looked like they wore duo for a touch- down several times but they were al-1 ways caunht within a few vards of tho , . goal and lost the ball on downs. Red Cloud could not make much headway through Superior in tho first half at the end ol which the score was 0 to 0 with the ball well in Red Cloud's territory. At the beginning of tho second hnlf Red Cloud kicked to Superior who ran eighty five yards for a touchdown. Thoy failed' to kick yoal makmtr tho scored to 0 in favor ofSuperior.

Tho roll was called and then we matched down to the headquarters building whore we received our salary from the Captain. The pay for this company amounts to $G,000 a month, so the company cleik informed mc today, but $1,200 of this is kept out eveiy month to pay for the liberty bonds for which we have subscribed. Since the 4th platoon is by them selves it is somewhat unhandy for us as we have to go over to the other bariack for meals and also for reverie and retreat. We now havo to wear our O. D. pants and shiits at retreat and the band plays the Star Spangle.l Banner after the bugle boys play tho tattoo, and while the band pluys the National Anthem we present arms, after which we are dismissed for mess.

Nothing that Superior could do would stop them and Blacklcdge carried the ball over for the first touchdown for Red Cloud. P. Ncwhouse kicked goal making the score 7 to G in favcr of Red Cloud. Superior received this time but lost the ball on downs. Red Cloud made good gains for a ways and then Super ior tightened up and they lost the ball on downs. Superior then made their downs for a couple of times but thoy also lost the ball on downs. Red Cloud then started using their tactics and were making good gains when time was called for tlio third quarter. At the beginning of the last quarter, it was Red Cloud's ball and they were nlavintr fine.

The came ended with the ball in Red Cloud's possession, and they were still playing good fast football. Our High School is to be commented on the morals of its team, thoy not having a single smoker on the team. To mention the stars of the team, one would have to give the entire line-up as thoy all certainly played a good fast game. The game was a good clean one with no crabbing or haru feelings and all who saw it said they got their mon ey's worth.

Farm Product Exhibits Light The Farmers' Institute hold in this city last week came to a successful conclusion Fiiday evening. On the whole the exhibits weie not as large as in. former years yet in some in stances thoy would compare very fa voiably in quality with preceding ses sions. ' The farm pioducts department was especially weak in display. However the cattle, horfccs and hoes were well up to standard. The ladies as usual filled their exhibit loom with all kinds of excellent articles and in addition to the usual quota they had a large dis play of Red Cross garments. Mills de partment was a busy one thruout the entiro week. All persons, young and old seemed much interested in these knitted goods. The evening programs held at the Morhart opera house were well at tended and ereatlv enioved. Tho mu sic furnished by Prof. Miller and Miss Nina Simmons was highly appre ciated. Memorial resolutions in honor of G. W. Hummel and Ed Pavne wore in troduced and adopted. Mr. J. S. Gil ham delivered the response to these resolutions in a dignified, scholarly manner. Rev. J. L.
