tending the annual encampment here
today, although nearly all were

order work, squad formation, then
platoon and company drill. After this
will come the extended order drill,
skirmishing, battalion drill, followed
by regimental drill and maneuver*
The smaller units are worked with
at first in order to let the men be
come accustomed to the camp and
the work, gradually extending the
scope of the drill until whole regi
ments are included in single drills.
Rain of the last few days made
the ground muddy in places, but when
the tents were erected the entire
camp found adequate shelter against
possible future rainfall, and the
board floors gave as much protection

houses.
Maj. Qen. George B. Duncan, com

contests will be staged almost daily.

will have prominent places on the
program.

motorists, as the camp is just north
of the D. L. D. highway and hun
dreds of persons travel along this
route daily. Many of them stop for
an hour or more to observe the

“Cheap” coal goes right from Iho mine to the consumer, with
practically no preparation. You pny freight on every pound of
slate and rock in it—you pay hauling charges —you lose the heat
value of just that much coni—you increase your ashes—it's costly
to buy a cheap product. CANTINE Coal has all rock, slate and
dirt removed at the mine—by mechanical double-screening and careful hand
picking over steel belts—comes evenly sued, hard and clean, and stays that
way. Its price is really quite moderate, considering the quality of the coal.
