cemetery
Deceased was about 18 years of
age and a boy of steady habits Just
at the threshold of useful manhood
his loss is a very hard blow to his
parents
A friend handed the News the fol-
lowing tribute:
To ordinary human nature the
cutting off of the young man who has
Just begun to give promise of a suc-
cessful and useful life appeals with
a remarkable degree of sadness
Royal Milstead had Just reached
that age when life looks bright and
every prospect is pleasing His
straight forward manly disposition
and his earnest business-like conduct
in his daily life attracted to him
many friends among the older peo-
ple of thecommunlty
In school he was always popular
both with his fellow pupis and with
his teachers and in his business as-
sociations he waB popuar n his quiet
way with all with whom he came in
contact
It of course seems hard to his
friends that such an early ending to
his promising career have to be but
they realise that after all such
things are for the best These friends
will miss his pleasant bright smile
and his sunny genial life his place
will be hard to fill in the circles in
which he moved

GLIMPSES OF LIFE
AT CAMP TRAVIS
Camp Travis Tex July 29 — As
uu expected effort to undermine the
strength of the forces fighting under
the stars and stripes German pro-
pogandists throughout the United
States spread broadcast many and
numerous false reports of how draft-
ed men in the great National Army
were being mistreated by their offi-
cers how they were ill fed poorly
clothed and quartered and how san-
itary conditions were ’’awful’ But
their great “Kultur” movement
merely proved a boomerang for it
has led thousands of thoBe who have
coiue to Camp Travis as well as to
other camps to write letters home at
once denying and refuting many of
the rumors brought to them of the
harash’ps they would endure
Every week thousands of letters
pass through the hands of the Camp
Publicity officer written voluntarily
to the newspapers of the home towns
of the drafted men by the men them-
selves They are alone indicative of
what is to be- found in the training
camp Each man tells his impression
of army life and how he has found
the discipline food and sanitary con-
ditions Written over the signatures
of the men themselves such letters
are not capable of being branded as
falsified reports
A few excerpts of the letters have
been gathered promiscuously They
show what the recruit thinks of Camp
Travis They stress In particular
"that letter from home” It is some-
thing that should not be forgotten
to help the soldier and the cause
Some of the excerpts typical of
the others follow:
"I am in love with this place We
have one fine law that is there
shall be no bread not a crum wast-
ed eat it all”
‘‘I am tempted to ask some of you
underfed people to take Sunday din-
ner with me For this old bean talk
wont stand up We have the best to
eat a great variety and all we can
eat but don’t waste a thing I don’e
remember having seen a fly Bince
landing here '
“If every person in the state could
come here and remain until he
caught the spirit of the United States
In this thing there would be no furth-
er need for speaking campaigns to
sell Liberty Bonds Thrift and War
Savings Stamps and to canvas for
the Red Cross with similar organiza-
tions” “The boys are proud of their com-
pany and determined to make it the
best in their battalion All cleaning
up is done without grumbling and is
thoroughly carried out”
“At mail time the boys flock
around the main box like geese at
feeding time anxious to receive a
word from those they love”
“One thing that greatly impressed
me was that practically every busi-
ness and profession was represented and gaturday afternoons in which to
in our company To see Justice Lee do fl8 we pieaBe we are going to
Daniels walking guard with Sam Mill
er the newsboy and Jack Eldridge
a former city manager marching in
ranks with a famous Tulsa bootleg-
ger really proves that this war is to
be won by the masses"
“Am writing you a few lines just
to put you next to conditions here
It’s a man’s game and if you are not
a uian it will be found out pronto
Sanitary conditions are all that could
be desired The food to be absolute-
ly square about it is far better than
a lot of fellows were accustomed to
Here just as in civilian life if you
do your best you will never fail to
reap the benefit of it”
“We are getting along well I am
enjoying life alright and all I hate
about the army is that I did not en-
list long ago I would have been a
man by now”
“All are in the best of spirits and
showing a determination to make ef-
ficient soldiers There are all classes
of compliments passed on what a
good mess sergeant we have und the
“euts” he is putting out It would (
surprise most of you civilians to see
liow well we are eared for from every
point of view-”
“Why do some people abhor the
jiea Qf coming here as a number of
j persons do? We have plenty to eat
a good place to sleep and a great deal
or good exercise Sanitary conditions
measure up to the standard We al-
so have the pilvilege of going out
to the movies and the Y M C A
which furnishes most every kind of
entertainment So why should we
worry?”
“I always thought that life in the
a nil v was fierce it is not There were
twelve of us who left Plainview and
we all like It fine They think as
much of the drafted men as they do
of the ones who volunteered I want
to say we have a nice place to sleep
and plenty to eat Some of you peo-
ple do not know what a real man is
get In the army and you will like it
Some of you men who sit on dry
goods boxes and chew tobacco and
"cuss” about being in the war wake
up and get to work and save The
sooner you do this the sooner the
war will be over Some people think
that all a soldier does Is to smoke
and play cards and go down town
and have a good time That Is all a
mistake We have our Y M C A
here In camp They have singing and
sermons and pictures every evening
We all enjoy this very much I want
to say that we have everything here
to make life worth while that any
one could ask for hospitals libraries
etc There Is one thing I want to
mention All our officers are liked
They are smart men and must be to
know how tor teach us to bo sol-
diers I am proud that 1 am in the
army I am going to try to get the
Kaiser”
“I find things in the army very
pleasant The rules are awful strict
and I like It alright It is good to
build up your strength and make
a man out of you Sleep Is regular
wo get plenty to eat and I feel bet-
ter here than I did In civilian life"
'I will try to tell you some of the
things I have learned about army
life in the camps Everything is
done systematically nnd on the mln-

no one else can Believe me this is the

get off the rock pile I will keep my

How are the slackers getting along?
If they wil quit sticking around
where those saloons used to be and
answer the call of their country and
get in Camp Travis it will make men
of them at least it has begun to
make one out of me I have been
here two weeks and I have decided
to stay it is because I like it here
so well”
“I’m all O K and feel fine The
army life is great The physical
training isn’t near as hard as some
people try to make out I have seen
several home hoys and they seem to
be well satisfied We get Wednesday
have a ball game this afternoon The
Y M C A is a fine thing There is
some kind of free show there every
evening Tell all the village loafers
to come on down it will be good for
