When the column reached the ice plant, however, it was halted. Stack arms was given. Then fall out. ' ' v Twenty-two large water melons j were brought out of the storage room and Company B. enjoyed a royal feast.' The writer is certatn that they were the nicest melons that he has seen this season. The same sentM ment has been expressed by other members of the company. They were chilled through, the meat was firm and sweet they couldn't have been better. Coming after a hot dusty march they were all the more enjoyable. This is but one of the many things Captain Burroughs has done for the. enjoyment of his men, and goes to show why he has won the undivided support of the company, for they know that Captain Burroughs will .always look after the comfort of his men.

Three-fourts of all the new looms there was a lot of foolish money in the hands of foolish people. They were not careful about the quality. They didn't give a darn about the price. And many of them thought they would soon be in the millionaire class.
