Recently a memorandum I was issued giving Earning that no , mascots or dogs would be taken ! aboard the transports when the regli ment finally sails for France. This I order was delivered at 11 o'clock and 1 shortly after noon mess "Bob" disappeared. The boys insist that he read the order and has started out for Fargo. Arthur Ratzlaff, Fred Dunn and Will Farley, of Jamestown. Company H. 164th U. S. Infantry, have been promoted from first class privates to corporals. The Dickinson machine gun company of the Second North Dakota regiment remains with North Dakota troops. The Dickinson machine gun company has been moved over into the "First North Dakota regiment." i and consolidated with the Grand ; Forks. North Dakota, machine gun 1 company. ! "Tell the folks back home that we want letters, and lots of them," was the cry everywhere when going 1 the rounds for news. Of course they can eat all the candy, cookies, etc., which you can send them, but they | are most anxious to get the letters ' and papers from home. Be sure you address mail correctly putting the i company letter or designation In a 11 prominent place. I A. W. McLean, who was first serI geant with Company F, of Mandan, I at the border, and who was this sum| mer commissioned as lieutenant in Devil's Lake Company D, of the Sec ond regiment, has been transferred from that company, and Is now a first lieutenant of Company F, of Mandan. ; McLean has won the position by hard work. He had a couple of years* training at West Point. Grand Forks boys ask that the chaps back home be informed that there are vacancies in the medical corps. Write before coming. When rain put a stop to all work in the line of drilling Tuesday, Company B boys, of Fargo, passed along the phonograph which was given them by the Stone Piano company. The machine was moved from tent to tent and a complete program, all the rec' ords, played in each tent. The camp directors have a big force j of men installing new pipes in the company bath-houses and the boys I everywhere are carrying and stroking ! rabbits' feet. They hope this piping means hot water. "Happy" Paulson, for many years in Company A at Bismarck, and who ' was appointed second lieutenant of i Beach company M, Second North Da ' kota regiment, has gone back to his J 1' old love.

The goat > is under the ban of the sanitary de partment of Camp Greene and has - been ordered quartered with the r horses in the corral near the camp 3 until otherwise disposed of. f The Dickinson machine gun coms pany has been sporting a classy game rooster. This, too, must go to the - discard. It probably will furnish the - main part of a squad tent feed some e i night in the near future. f i While squads of other companies ' are fussing with the little three-foot 1 j to keep them away from stove pipes, " I the boys of Dickinson Company K, sit 5 back and laugh. Twelve of the Dick5 inson squad tents are equipped with tin "roofs" and the inhabitants of the tents need have no fear of Are. h Although the first Sunday in camp ? called for reveille at 5:45, orders have I now been issued which declare no 3 "Can't get 'em up" will be blown hereafter on the Sabbath, and mess is at 7 instead of 6 a. m. ^ Scott Hall and Neil Reid of Bis marck Company A, 164th Infantry.
