Daar Paika:
Today newplalaa my eeeond waak
in Cam p. and I've enjoyed It vary
much. It proved to ba entirely dif
ferent froai a hat I an part ad. of eoaraa
Ike difference wno far tha good.

ikara you ran upend your Umo off duty
>n writing to tka folka bark homo,
ind being entertained in moot anyway
irnu rould wiah.
It wao rather hard at drat going to
•ad at a certain time and getting up
he name way, In fart there In a time
for everything. You have heard of
■ yatem—well you will have to be in
he army before you aee it put into
iff ect, it 'a really wonderful to boo
low lt'a all worktd out. and I'm aure
ivory Itoy here will learn lota, and be
nore prepared to go bark to civil life
when the War ia c.*er.
You might expert to find fellow*
who are blue and down-hearted, hut
to go through f'amp will *oon show
you that you are wrong, for you mI
lorn nee a fare that in sad. Really I
think the folk* at home are worry
in g a great deal more than the boy*
io, of courne the Mother* and Father*
are giving up their *on«, but why
-houldn't they stop and think what
their aon* are giving, it* the he*t
part of their liven. *till they all go
to thi* great taek with a smile on
rheir face, *o I think the folk* at
home should smile too.

past-master at making beds, wa-h
nig dishes and mo*t anything you rare
to mention,'this don't st*m to be murh
toward* making a soldier, but it i.s
ill in the game.
New men are romitig to ( amp every
lay now, and the fellows who have
•een here for a good while are being
Lianxferred to other Camp*, it'* fun
ty to see them come in —every one of
:hem look different but in a day or
wo tM>y all change into the name
hing, for the uniform makes us all
►like— in appearance. When 1 fimt
:>ut on my uniform I felt very queer,
'or it seemed to fit mr too murh in
•ome places and in others it seemed to
>e way too large. Of court** all thi
las worn off now, and I feel very
nurh at home in it, and I must admit
hat I am juRt a wee bit proud of it
oo.
It* most time to hit the hay, and it
pal hay too, no joking about it, hut
deeping on hay don't worry us fel
own. You all must write soon and
rive me the news from home.

ha* been fortunate in iscuring the aid
j of Hon. ('ha*. A. Reynold*, of iWnaton
I in the War-Saving campaign now in

and while the full itenerary ha* not
been decided upon, it i* definitely
known that he will viait Pilot Moun

Mach 21 at, and probably Mount Airy,
the following day.
In addition to thia able speaker,
W. P. Bynum of Greensltoro, will
make a similar trip o\er our county,
and will be in Mount Airy about the
lit of April.
These men are thoroughly conver
sant with thi* all important aubject
war .Savings, and every red-blooded
citizen of Surry who ha» the interest
of our country at heart is expected to
be on hand to hear theac gentlemen.
riacing the Machinery.
Mention was made last week of the
new factory being placed here by the
0 Men Belt Mfg. Company, of Dur
ham. They have skilled mechanics
here now placing the machines many
of which are now ready for operation.
A bolt of cloth is fed into one of these
machines and it comes out in finished
sacks, except the draw string, and de
livers them at the rate of 25,000 a
day. It is Something of a wonder to
watch the machines operate. Within
a very few days the factory will be
running and will give employment to
a number of people.
