CAMP TRAVIS
—v
i
Camp Travis, Tex., Aug. 10, 1918.
That there is more than hard work
for the recruit in Uncle Sam’s army
is best indicated perhaps by figure's
recently announced by the Y. M. C.
A. for Camp Travis. When it is to
be considered that the soldier is like-
wise entertained by the Knights of
Columbus and by several other or-
ganizations
S* h*r* immediately. There are inexpensive method of canning food
-8,000 volumes or more available to 1 this year, owing to the scarcity of
the soldiers in the camp through sen-
eral library and company and branch
libraries and they are all well pat-
ronized. The Y. M. C. A. alone gave
away 23,178 volumes during the
month of July to soldiers
In religious circles, much has been
already said. There are 159 classes
in Bible study in operation at pres-
ent. Religious meetings numbering
163 were held by the Y. M. C. A.
during the month of July and the
the civilian can see that ______„ .......... lllI
the United States government really total attendance was 46,289. The re
appreciates the fact that “all work ligious activities are not confined to
and no play makes Jack a dull biy" any one faith, for every one has its
and is doing everything possible to ceremonies at regular appointed
obviate this.
During the month of June alone
44,938 mesi played in various recre-
ational and athletic games, such as
base ball, indoor base ball, volley ball
quoies, boxing, wrestling, etc. Ath-
letics have become a part of the sold-
ier’s training. Because of this the
American soldier is, quick to act
quick to think, has speed and stam-
ina. Each and every company has
its athletic box with athletic equip-
ment and drill is deftly sandwiched
in with boxing, running, etc., all the
same and the development of a sold-
ier in every sense of word implies.
That the athletics is of a high
standard and perfected by the finest
physical directors and instructors in
the country is evidenced perhaps in
the fact that 95,501 people witnessed
various contests during the month.
They came not only from San An-
tonio, but from surrounding towns.
At one baseball game there were
more than 5,000 people, and it is
times
All of this is optional with the sold-
ier. But there is a portion that is
compulsory. It is a series of lectures
given by the company commandeis cn
health, hygiene, care of the feet, care
of equipment, “Why we are at war”
etc. All of these are intended to
better fit the soldier for the part he
is to play in the army. Then there
is the regular exercise periods con-
ducted by the company commanders
in which the soldier is required to
take part each morning before break-
fast and during the day’s drill per-
iod. These exercises are to develop
end harden the muscles, to develop
agility and strong winds, to start the
blood circulation and quicken the
brain action.
This is all in the army camp. San ,
Antonio nearby offers numerous other |
opportunities for pleasure, amuse- j
ment and improvement, physically j
and mentally.

One of the specials which has been | jnents will be paid by the branch of

That the war is on is also evident
by the premiums offered in the Tex-
tile department. Heretofore only a
(few priaets have been offered for
knitted garments, however, this year
a number of prizes will be given for
the best knitted sweater, pair of
socks, wristlet, etc. One of the
classes added in this department is
that for a soldier's outfit consisting
of a war knitted sweater, wristlet,
scarf and pair of socks. The prem-
iums for this class have been made
extra high
The list in the fine arts depart-
ment has also been revised. In many
instances prizes offered on certain
displays in former years have been
omitted entirely and the money added
to a display which is more in keep-
ing with the work being done in this
time of war.
As a whole the premiums in the
women’s department of the Okla-
homa Free State Fair have been in-
creased approximately fifteen per
cent. In view of the many new prem-
iums offered on articles heretofore
excluded from the list, it is expected
that the woman’s section of the fair
this fall at Muskogee will far sur-
pass that of any previous year.
Many requests are now going to the
fair office for premium lists.

I (Special)—Oklahoma dependents of
j enlisted or drafted men should not
I worry in case their allotment al-
lowance checks from the bureau of
war risk insurance are reduced in
amount or if the checks should be
slow in coming. The July allotments
are not payable until August and the
August Allotments until September.
The reduction in amounts is due to
a change in the ruling. Hereafter
the bureau will pay allotments only
when they carry with them govern-
ment family allowances and then only
in the amounts required to support
such allowances. All other allot-

for $2.00 and each subscription
counts a certain amount of votes to-
wards winning the big Dixie Flyer.
Another unusual feature of this
contest is the fact that during the
first ten days an additional bonus of
50,000 extra votes will be given on
each and every $20 worth of sub-
scription turned in by or for a con-
testant and this is positively the
largest extra vote offer of the entire
contest as at no time in the future
will a subscription count for as many
votes as they do at the beginning.
After this first offer closes the
votes will decrease about one half
and a one year subscription count-
ing on an average of 7,000 votes as it
does this first period on a subscrip-
tion will (hop during the last period
4 to about 4,000 votes and during the
4 J last period the votes will only count
4 , as the original schedule stipulates.

mediately and endeavor to take the
lead and then hold it.
