12 ;HE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY,- SEPTEMBER 21, 1917. FOURTH HAS PAY DAY AI DEMING; NO COFrlFORT KIT Boys in Khaki Send Money Home After Pay Day at Camp Cody; -Company B Thanks Girls for Postals. By CORP. M. M.' BALSAM. Headquarters Co. B, Fourth Ne braska Infantry, Camp Cody, Dent ing, N. M., Sept. 14. (Special.) I'm a little bit under. the weather, this morning, but in great trim to reel off enough news to till the Sunday maga zine section if necessary. There is so much to write about that it's a ' toss-up on what subject to start The "main event" in this big arena happened Tuesday,1 September 11, 191. when the boys from the home , state lined up in front of the officers' ! mess shact: and received their thirty per. 7 ., ., When the "pay call" sounded immediately - after- reveille, wild shrieks, hoarse and ear-splitting yells rent the air and the confusion of voices gave the "layman" the impres sion that the fall of Babylon was be ing re-enacted. There was a rush for the company street to get through with the set ting up exercises, and immediately upon its demise came a general clean ing up of rifles, quarters and per sons. Shining faces and shining shoes emerged from out the dust, and from out the very . atmosphere came pressed trousers, O. D. shirts, clean leggings and black ties. When some one yelled, "Line up for chow," all entered the mess hall, but few par took of the wholesome ; breakfast spread out before them, Appetites wer gone for oatmeal,, canteloupe. v coffee, bread, butter, etc. In its stead came visions of "steaks, potatoes " (French fried), pies, ice cream and other delicacies. About 9:30 a. m. the heaping piles of yellow and greenbacks, silver and ' half dollars began their swift descent and at noontime approximately 2,000 men were treading on air and all that remained was a bare pine board table that seemed to carry a sad and de . jected look. " ' ' & Then followed a rush to the post office and registered letters, money ; orders and deposits became the gen eral order of the day, for it's the folks at home that the khaki-clad -boy thinks of first, especially those with dependents. . ' Suffice 'tis to say that at least for the next fifteen days or more "Sammy" will be living "the lift of Riley, which is a pet phrase, tnealn ing a life of solid contentment. . Now to divulge.' Relative to our sporting department, Captain T. R. Kirschner has promised to give me the lineup shortly of the men who have managed to make the regimental base ball team and I feel safe in say ing that Private Charles R. Korb of Company B will undoubtedly land in the pitching department. , Company H has five applicants, four out of s whom are "noncoms" the rivals being Corporals Ogan, , Jones, Weston, Smith and Private Hershberger. we assp nope to rorwara tne lineup SKINNED ALIVE SPUDS BY THOUSANDS GO UNDER KNIFE Peeling spuds for the evening meal at the training camp at Deming, N. M., officially known as. Camp Cody. Thousands of the spuds go under the knife every day. J J 5I.I.U...1M Ut 1 JWi unij.ii.il naanm : If N'f fen u m ft x . v ! YiP 'ill 11 1 ( ) V of our regimental foot ball team in conjunction with the other and Lieu tenant Major insists that his outfit will turn in the most enviable record of the camp. However, time will tell. -V Now a ivord for the sanitation and the boys of the sanitary corps. A word of approval will not be amiss. Under the supervision of Major J: M. Birkner the boys are sure hustlers and Lieutenants Parks and Reeves certainly deserve all the credit that can be given to them for the manner in which they handle their alloted tasks. , - ' , . , The incinerators fronting the regi mental streets dispose of the garbage quickly and cleanly. The mess halls, kitchen utensils, pots, pans and quart ers are inspected daily in a way that denotes thoroughness and everything is kept spick and span. ,, To the Hebrew folks at home let me State that during the holy days' period, their boys will be provided with a suitable house of worship and they will receive their furloughs for a period of three days. . ; . I am forwarding few original photographs to give the folks an idea. that it s ' not an work ana no piay. Use your own ju!Jf ment and see where the fun comes in. Company B, ISO men strong, has done , duty on the Union . Pacific bridge since March and in view cf that fact I'm getting up enough nerve to ask some kind donatoV for a com fort kit for the boys. ; In closing, I want to thank the girls of the Beaton Drug company for getting the post card shower to gether and making the boys of Com pany B.the recipients. We certainly appreciate it and we take this means of letting them know it Americanization Meeting to Be Held at City Hall Tonight The first of a series of meetings ar ranged by the Bureau of Information on Americanism will be held in the city library at 7:30 o'clock tonight The Commercial club's Americaniza tion committee, co-operating with the State Council of Defense, Public-Welfare board and other organizations, will conduct these, meetings to give to the foreign-born reliable answers to questions on naturalization, conser vation and education.

Dr. Olga Stasnejr of the Americani zation committee'of the State Coun cil of Defense will be present.

( ' , " NEW MINISTER MAKES RECORD AT FORT DODGE Rev. W. H. Spence Comes to Hanscom Methodist Church Highly Recommended by i Former Congregation. Rev. W. H. Spence, newly elected pastor of the Hanscom Park Meth odist church, corner to Omaha with the most enthusiastic praise, from all who have been associated with him during his nine years of service with the First, Methodist church at Fort Dodge. He is known as one of the most sifted and promising young, members of the ministerial fraternity, not only in that state, but in the country. , Extraordinary inducements were held out to persuade him to leave the Fort Dodge church, where he had been stationed for nine years. This is of itself an indication of his abili ties, being far beyond the average stay of a Methodist minister at one station. He was induced to leave the Fort Dodgl church so endeared ' to him only by the fact that the Omaha pas torate offers a far wider field of use fulness. When he went to Fort Dodge nine years ago, a youthful clergyman with small experience, the' First Methodist church there was a small, out-grown building. In a short time he "infused such vitality and enthusiasm into his parish that a. beautiful new building and parsonage was planned, and these, which called for an outlay of $120,000, now stand as a monument to his vision and executive ability. He is singularly gifted spiritually, is an eloquent speaker as well as a splendid executive. -.His personality attracts friends wherever he goes and his unselfish spirit of patriotism has made him a leading figure in war work at Fort Dodge. In Harmony With Labor. If his Work in Fort Dodge be taken as an example, Rev. Mr. Spence soon will become a dominant figure in the philanthropic and patriotic activities Obituary Notice MRS.

' , The committee in, charge of selling the second issue of Liberty bonds in Omaha held a . preliminary ; meeting at the ' Commercial club and took steps itpportant "' toward boosting Omaha's subscription to this issue. . O. T. Eastman, umanager of the Omaha branch of -the Federal Re serve bank, brought word that ( the government is preparing to give much greater assistance, to the bond solici tors than it did in the first campaign. "Ten posters of various sizes wil! be shipped out' next week from, the printing .offices, he said. "All are boosters for the bonds. Another ad vertising feature - will be; 1,000,000 stickers - for Nebraska, each- SH6 inches in size, intended. sarlicularijf for automobile windshields. Libert bond buttons of a, new design will be given to buyers of the second issue of bonds. A number of speeches on the bonds Will be sent out. v .. ' To Bear 4 Per Cent - . The second issue of bonds is to be for $3,000,000,000, and is' to bear 4 per cent, according to the most reli able advices received by the commit; tee. There is this difference, however, that the percent bonds are non taxable, while the 4 per cent bonds will be subject to income taxes. iThe reason for the delay in supplying the first issue bonds to subscribers was mentioned; namely, the colossal work of Sprinting them. - Most of these bonds were for small amounts. It was stated that the bonds for this federal reserve district alone would amount to twenty-six big truck loads. W. E. Rhoades is chaiimah of the committee, succeeding T. C Byrne, who was chairman of the Omaha committee, but is now chairman of. the state Liberty bond committee. John L. Kennedy , was elected vice chair man. Most of -the members of the first committee will serve on the sec ond also. v v To Place Subscriptions Here. It was voted to appoint a commit tee to Tall on' the corporations and get them to place their Liberty bond subscriptions in Omaha instead of in the east, as many of them did on the first bond campaign. On 'suggestion of Scoutmaster English,-$100 was voted to buy medals for Boy Scouts who distinguish themelves in selling bonds. It was decided also tb'getan, officer from each bank, if possible to serve on the committee. The first Liberty bonds are to be delivered to subscribers September 26 and the drive for the second issue is to begin October 1.. Report of Light Frosts , Does Not Affect Market - -Reports of light frosts over por tions of, the corn belt of Iowa and Illinois reached the Omaha Grain ex change, but it was asserted that they were not responsible for the advance of 4 tov6 cents a bushel.
