Speakers to Present TripleSided
Necessity of Soldiers
Saving Their Pay in Talks at
Y. Buildings.
In order to present to the soldiers
at Camp Greene the triple-sided aspects
of thrift a program has been ar
rangea ror mis ween in au mo x buildings.
"Prepare to Live" to the
slogan for the week and each talk
will develop one of the three phrases:
Thrift of Character, Thrift of Health,
Thrift of Money. The religious speakers
will address the soldiers on Thrift
of Character. Captain Pond, the amp
insurance officer will visit each building
and talk of war Insurance^ and
Major Brewer of the Fourth division
medical corps will speak on Thrift of
Health. Practically every soldier at
Canip Greene has done his bit in subscribing
for the liberty loans.-*. Not
only in the saving of money, however,
can thrift be exercised but In the conservation
of bodily strength and the
upbuilding of Christian character.

talent along those lines and won
hearty applause.
The greater part of the evening was
taken up by Private Neville Brush, of

BATTALION.
First Sergeant Lofton has hard work
these days keeping on the trail of his
in en. He claims that they try to beat
their duties. According to the sergeant
there will be a lot of work when
we start to move so lookout boys? t
play safe.
We are having some difficulty dressing
the company these days, as we
unfortunately have some clowns who
do not know right from left And. too.
it would seem better if we dressed to
the right in the first place.
A few days ago the boys were told
to bring over their old shoes to headquarters.
Private Walsh brought
over all he had ever worn.
Speaking of brains We would refer
you to the following, which is original
we claim:
In the 39th a second George Washington
has been found. He, in company
with several others, had been
granted four days' leave, and, as usual
wired for extension, but no hackeyed
?.au r>i<; in fact it was so
original that it has been Trained and
now has a home hanging on the side
of the wall in the orderly room. It
ran as follows: "Nobody dead; nobody
ill. Still going strong, having a
good time and got plenty of money.
Please grant extension." He got it.
