nouncemcnt that the American army!

B B I OH ways is buying bonds. In order to get
some conception of what the above
ByS.M statement means with Reference to
BbB storage we give the following taken
from official sources;
S rrl in the ^00(* branch alone, it takes
fl |u over 4.000.000 pounds of food every !
IHftj day to feed the army. This prodigious I
lpyMT| daily consumption of food embraces a j

The oenper and salt for a single'day I
is 42.500 pounds. t
"Army coffee is roasted at the rate
of 70.900 pounds a day, and it takes i

. Hft gjrftfl The splendid way in which the Jcwish
Welfare Workers, the Knights of
Columbus and the Y. M. C. A. rallied
to the cause in the present crisis in
running errands tgr the sick and helpBing
them out in a thousand ways is
certainly appreciated by the officers
of the cam p. It has been a great relief
to the soldier who has not been

hellish nature have been traced to the

MAKE YOUR MOTHER IIAPPY

From what we can learn of other
camps. Camp Greene has been very
fortunate in the Flu emergency. The
disease Is pretty well in hand here
and officials are optimistic over the
actual results of their careful work a?
compared with many other camps. It
is believed that the -quarantine will
j be lifted -within the present week and
the disease practically eradicated.
?
There has been considerable disI
cussion as to how the commanding
i officer. Col. A. C. Macomb, pronounces
| his name. From official sources we
are able to announce that the
accent is placed on the last syllable
I with lnnir sound of "O" and not
on the first with Ion* sound of "a" a*
so many pronounce it.
Irvln* S. Cobb will sneak in the
' Auditorium at Charlotte. Tuesdnv eve!
nlnpr. November 12. when he will relate
his experiences at the front with
I the boys in khaki, hp*h white and ml
i ored. Tickets for this lecture will be
sold for 25 cents to the soldiers and
I $1 to civilians.

NINTH COMPANY NOW .CLAIMS
THE BEST RECORD
Offers Challenge to Any Company
in Camp to ProvA Their
Superiority in Every Line.
Last week Trench and Camp contained
a story* from Sixth company
stating that it claimed the record of
having the best company all round in
Camp Greene. Now comes Company
i Nine with a contradiction, and offers
| the evidence. That is just what this
j little paper wants to find out.* If the
different companies over the camp
have the stuff in them, tell the- public
I about it. Don't hide your light - un[
der a bushel and wait until you; get
I to France to blow about yourself.'Let
! folks right here know about it, so that
! you can send the j>aper news back
! home. Dig up c.the .relics and repu
| tables or your company any piace in
I the camp and Write the editor of
Trench and C&xpp. Drop the news in
the mall boxes in -any T building or
give it to a secretary any place and it
will get into the limelight. Here is
what Company Nine claims:
Company Nine's Jiecord Unbeaten.
Since the time that memory of man
runneth not to the contrary, people
have been assembling. In Company
Nine. Fourth Recruit camp, there is
no exception tQtho rule only as to
-personnel. We hereby set up our
claim to being the.jforemost company
or the Fourth Recruit camp. We
h?ve In John High the world champion
In shotput, his record by far exj
ceeding his nearest rival. John's recI
ord in other branches of sport are
J fully worth par, anyone doubting
I drop around to Company Nine and be
j shown.
I In music we have Sam Mastraccl. a
I cousin of Caruso, who, seeing the
j ability of his cousin, on his own free
will and accord tdbk and trained
I young Mastracci, who has with his
j world famed cousin sang throughout
the universe,

ence.
In the field of outdoor exercise we]
I make the assertion, without fear of)
I contradiction, that we lead the fourth j
recruit, and any company doubting
these facts have only to challenge us!
for a field meet. In baseball we have"!
won each game and on two occasions:
we administered shutouts through the I
matchless twirling of C. F. Hastings.
We have in the person of Kiau3e, a i
professionally trained pugilist. who j
was trained by Frank Klause, world
champion middleweight. In the per- j
i | sons of Thornton, Healey and SchalI
lus first-class boxers are tp be found, j
i and these fellows are ready to say any
time, "the die is cast, the rubicon is
crossed. I go into the ring and de-1
fend my coveted reputation."
We also have three accomplished i
, musicians in the regimental band.
and we doubt seriously if another
11 company has furnished this number.
Wednesday evening the boys were
' j thrilled by the superb boxing of the
1 | boys, and visitors from several com
I panies were present, and we are not
1 j surprised at our challenge for a bout
going by default, as the fame of the
j famous fighting Ninth has permeated
! j every nook ana corner 01 rourm ic
i cruit and entire camp as well.
We also make the assertion that we
1 I lead all the companies in thew Fourth
- | recruit as to men sent to' places of
'.responsibility, as Q. M. C., postofflce,
I etc. This phase of the question at!
tests mental superiority, the physical
| having been previously shown.
; I As to eats and their preparation we
j take oft our hats to po company, even
: if you are from Missouri. When you
are feeling tough and your eats are
I not appetizing, stop in at the Ninth
5 and square meal is in store for you. We
r will show you.
c Our officers are perfect gentlemen
i and ate very skilled in the art of warfare.
