Camp Travis Texas June 1 1918
The casual visitor to Camp Travis
who has not lost in this 4 ay of mo-
tor cars an interest in horse flesh
marvels at the splendid collection of
horses to be seen about the camp
They are in excellent condition well
cared for well trained for the most
part but there is a reason
One of the largest remount sta-
tions in thd world is located at
Camp Travis Here every ’horse and
tened The wild one are broken
mule ' used at the camp is 'received
sorted inspected branded and fat-
and in the breaking Camp Travis has
gathered a choice collection of pre-
mier broncho busters of the world
of the kind that is developed in
Texas and Oklahoma They Will
ride anything any time ami hun
dreds of people visit the remount
to see the wild animals 'broken' to
the saddle 1
Sick and injured horses are given
far better treatment than the peo-
ple in many localities receive Three
large veterinary hospitals arc lo-
cated at the remount station with a
corps of seventeen graduated veter
iaarians and a staff of 75 men as as-
sistants They have at their com
tmand all the experience medicine
and instruments the United Slates
government can afford '
Horses like men are tr'ained on a
schedule the keystone of ' which is
regularity They are fed balanced
rations at regular hours and are
given every attention In the army
particularly in those branches of the
service where the horse and mule is
used continuously as in the cavalry
machine gun etc the animal comes
before the man After drilling all
day or fighting when the recall has
sounded then the animal gets first
attention and the man comes next
After horses or mules have been
inspected at the remount station and
have developed or give indications
of spavin blindness or any symp-
toms of diseases making them unfit
for army service they are caught
branded with an “IC” which means
“inspected and condemned” and
then sold The brand is placed on
the neck Army buyers will not buy
in horses so branded Such horses
may be fit for any and every duty
demanded of them for other pur-
pses hut Uncle Sam is particular -

being served recently is not at all
popular and steps may be taken to
stop any' further distribution at
Camp Travis Soldiers have recent'
ly been getting a taste of it on their
letters or newspapers Friends and
parents of the soldiers have thought
to send them fresh peacher in flimsy
containers The large - volume of
mail received at the camp makes
tender handling of mail sacks an im-
possibility and peaches have been
smashed and their juices and meats
distributed among the remainder of
the mail in the near neighborhood
The postoffice authorities are urgent
in their request that peaches be not
sent through the mails unless the
containers are heavy enough' to
stand some pretty hard jolts The
peaches never reach the parties in-
tended and the good humor of many
is spoiled oftentimes the most im-
portant or most eagerly sought for
word in a letter is nothing more
than a stain of peach juice
In order that mosquitos may not
breed in or near Camp Travis gangs
of men are working daily on the
banks of the Satado which - runs
near to the camp clearing out drift
wood straightening the course
eliminating holes of standing water
and distributing crude oil Camp au-
thorities take every step to insure
the protection of the health and hap-
piness of the soldier boys The Sa-
lado is fed by running wells Bath
houses are being erected for the use
of the men swimming classes organ-
ized special hours designated for re-
spective units in order that all may
benefit by the fresh water A dam
has also been erected to deepen the
waterway Along the banks of the
river are groves of huge pecan trees
offering shade and cool spots to rest

of 73 ncrcent This is a decrease of
5 percent as compared with the con-
dition of one month ago The condi-
tion of wheat at same time one year
ago was 68 percent This decrease
in the growing condition is due to
the poor showing of counties in the
southwest extreme western and
northwest parts of the state In
these sections there ha been ‘very
little moisture and wheat is show-
ing up very poorly from this reason
alone In 18 of the leading wheat
counties the condition has changed

tions have been very favorable ’

OKLAHOMA CITY June 5— The
public is again warned against pro-
miscuous giving for war work in so-
liciting campaigns conducted with-
out the authorization of the Okla-
homa State Council of Defense and
of the county councils of defense
Contributions should not be made
without ascertaining from the coun-
ty councils whether the organiza-
tions so soliciting arc authorized to
do so by the government
The following agencies operating
under the authority of the war and
navy department commissions on
training camp activities in definite
war services have received the sanc-
tion of the state council and the
county councils of defense:
The Young Men’s Christian Asso-
ciation the Young Women’s Chris-
tian association the Knights of Co-
lumbus and the Jewish Welfare
board
The Red Cross should receive the
hearty sunoort of the nation but
like the Liberty loan and the War
Savings Stamp movement is not
mentioned in this list because it is

on training camp activities
The county councils have been in-
structed to supervise the solicitation
of funds for war relief and to co-ordinate
all agencies working to that
end

Take Care of
Your Tires
America’s greatest need is for ships—
more ships
Every available vessel is being utilized-
ih government service
Many ships that have been carrying rubber from
Sumatra and Brazil have been taken for active
transport duty The number now left to brinr
rubber to this country is extremely limited
This will necessarily force a temporary curtail-
ment of tire production
So make the most of the tires you have
Use good tires
Take good care of them Keep them in perfect
repair See that they are properly inflated
Increase their mileage by careful driving Keep
out of car tracks and away from
bumps Don’t scrape the curb
or apply brakes too suddenly
Get every mile your tires
have In them
Only in that way can you be ‘
assured of your car’s contin-
uous service— and remember
your tire is a vital war-time
necessity
So again
— take care of your tires
United States liras
