NEW YEAR’S PROBLEM
Most everyone was sorry they were
not included in the list to drive trucks
overland to Atlanta, but from all re
ports so far we who did not go were

edly sorry for is “Senator” James,
and our own “Madam” Demers.
We understand that Sergeant Wil
liams of S. P. U. No. 371 has taken

Money seems to have been very
scarce just before the holidays, lucky
some of the fellows have kind wives,
and sweethearts.
