Three Boys Enlist
: Set,i Thompson, Ray Cohee, John
I Montgomery Orval Dodd and Arthur
Bentley went to Oklahoma City Mon
day evening to enlist in the service,
John and Arthur trying for the navy,
Seth and Ray for motorcycle dispatch
carriers, and Orval for the infantry
Arthur was six pounds too light for the
navy, and we understand they turned
Orval down on account of being too
fleshy. The rest of the boys passed the
examinations. Ray and Seth returned
last night to Oklahoma City and will
be sent to Ft. Logan today and John
will go soon. These are all young men
who have reached their 21st birthday
since last June and it looks as If the new
registration will have to move up soon
if it catches any of our boys.
Over The Top
The Second Red Cross Drive went
“over the top” in greftt shape in this
end of the county. Our quota for North
and South Cimarron v as $1400 and up
to reports yesterday morning there was
cash and pledges amounting to $2,223 r
divided as follows:
North Cimarron Cash $1059.72
North Cimarron Hedges 203.10
South Cimarron Cash
and Pledges 900.00
Total 2,223.12
This is a nice showing of $600 over
our quota and the workers in this drive
are to be congratulated on results of
their labors. Every dollar will be need-
ed in the mobths to come and this mon-
ey will be of great benefit to our soldier
boys.

And your chow is always ready with the

"lou wake up in the morning and you
shako your lazy head,
Then you turn on that cold shower and
you wake up from the dead.
You can feel yourself aslipping when
you hear the bugle toots,
With yourself all dressed in whites with
hats and rubber boots.
I lie working party is ready all standing
in a line
You stamp and prance and jabber to
Pass away the time;
So eager to be off that you can hardly
wait;
Rut as quick as you are off, you soon
cut down that pace.
Rut then you get to shoveling that dirt
behind the plow,
\ou get to leeling hungry and a raring

Camp Travis, Texas.
1 roops at Camp Travis are getttng
field training now. They march out by
regiments rnd stay out for the day, the
company cooks accompanying the men
and serving noon meal from field kitch-
ens. The drills and exercises approx
imate war conditions as nearly as may
be, both men and officers being put thru
problems of attack and defence over
the actual ground, instead of merely be-
ing quizzed on what they would do in
supposed condition on supposed terri-
tory.
The men appear to en?oy this work
much better than the routine drill, al-
though they realize that the latter has
its place. But they get out into the coun-
try, and, when the problem is one of
open warfare, the soldier gets an oppor-
tunity to see something of the entirety
ot the work. He begins to realize how
Ins role fits in with the whole scheme.
When the problem is one of trench war- ‘
fare, the necessity for co-operation and
synchronization of effort is of still great-
er importance. And the soldier has a
chance to see that, too.
Die men like it because it js more like
"real soldiering,” as they say. They
are not forgetting why they are here.
These exercises are the nearest approach
yet to that end. And that is why the
men take to them so readily.
