ttf rOlsIt these boys at their work one
If*y recently and saw every moveBrent
and etery part that goes into
- the bread that the soldiers relish so
tmgch in CdWp Greene. >
The officials of the company directing
the work, are. chief baker,
Sergt Wm. J. Graham, who has been
in.^barge for a year and with him is
assistant' baker. Sergt. John Freeh
.Who-has also JJeen Willi tne company
foe a year. These 'men are In charge
ofbakery No. 1. and the entire compliny
bakery No. 2 is In charge of
John CoatQv who has been with
company Almost a year and also
tlrover C Daniels who has. only been
.imftnected with the company but a
flfjtprt time. .Upon their shoulders
r?et?i the machinery which must roll
jBht the loaves, of the "staff of life"
/which sustains the Cimp Greene army.
The bakery works In. three shifts
With a total of 27 men and they work
o|? regular schedule and have to
dp just a certain amount of work Just
the same as the rest of the compa{<
files ovjr the. tamp must do the work
ajplfmed to tnem. only these boys
think they have some big job.
(.fl^The bakery proper is Just as clean
.phd/neat as any bakery can be and
1?e mixing room and every feature
itiust comply strictly to the letter to
ftrisry specification. Each batch of
rough must measure out accurately a
certain number of loaves with none
jpft and so well have the men gotten
I fhfelr- work down that they seldom
jnlss It one loaf. Every day there Is
Kd from 17.000 to 18.000 loaves of
bread and the dally consumption runs
Sm 12.080 to 15,000 loaves. The
surplus is used for extra loaves that
must be Issued over Sunday and Mon ay
because the boys don't bake but
) days per week ana they ngure
4 they ought to get at lelst one
rest Going further, it ! interring
to note that it takes 8.50C
jpunds of flour to-bake 17,000 loavet
Spread and every loaf that is baked
weighed separately and must welgli
CTTD pounds and two ounces and those
two ounces must be tacked on. Wher
asked why that extra two ounces musi
be added Sergeant Graham replied
that it had to be done in order t<
4feflfce' each batch of dough in the bis
iHting pans come out even. But *oi
should see those boys handle th<
dough by the wholesale. They do li

comes from his home town out west
in the Jayhawker state and some from
the mills of the northwest- It is
piled high in a big storage room near

Contrary to the belief of many j
the boys of a bakery company are
not called "dough boys" but they do
have the name of "dough punchers"
and It is most pleasing to watch them
go after it. They imagine they are
pumping away sometime^ at a Hun
and put in an extra lick or two but
that enly serves to make the bread
that much better for the consumer.

CAPTAIN WYATT AS
AN ORGANIZER
Has Devaloped a Wonderful M([}/^~
Working Machine in the Am- JLjf/L _
bulance Department. a?
It has not been so many months AAlQI
since Captain Wyatt told some of the
officials In camp what he intended ret
to make out of the Ambulance com- /p*amKM
pany over which he was given direction.
When he began selecting his
men from out the camp he was ^7 Kfjf l^Fl
laughed at and told that it could not Mj
bo done but he has proved through Vfyl l^j
his own experience as well as the | j
willingness of the men and his ability
to manage, that he has one of the \l V \
best companies going and the test of \Yr#
the ^present emergency in the camp \L **
certainly gives him that honor. The y
photograph below shows Captain \ M
Wyatt in the center, on his" right A r T
with hands behind is Lieutenant ? AJ
Hunt and on the left. Lieutenant
Goode. Through the perfect working Kfca'
machine under the guidance of these |B15g 4
men every trouble assigned to them 3
has been handled and Captain Wyatt ^HL SvJ
will fight for his men and so will
his men flght for him. i41 ^
