Lonesome Tar Would Wed County's Prettiest Girl Georgetown, Del., July 24. —A lone- j some sailor boy Is looking for a girl, | but he cuts out other candidates by ; specifying that she must be a Dela- j ware girl, and if possible a Sussex county girl. The sailor is Elmer Walls, stationed on the battleship Vermont at New York City. Walls is not a Delawarean, but has eaten some of its peaches, and concludes that a State that produces such fruit ought to have some pretty girls. In a letter to Post- ! master Robinson he says: United States S. S. Vermont. At Sea, July 17, 1916. "Dear Sir: Please give my name \ to the prettiest girl in Sussex county and tell her that I am a poor lone some sailor in the United States Navy, and would like to correspond with her. Yours respectfully, —' ELMER WALLS, U. S. N. S. S. Vermont, care Postmaster, New York City."

JACK OF TROOP C IS 44 I Passes Another Milestone While Along the Rio Grande; Men in Good Spirits Camp Stewart. Fort Bliss. Tex., July j 24. Captain George C. Jack, of l Troop C, the Gdvernor's Troop of Cavalry of Harrisburg. yesterday cele brated his forty-fourth birthday. [By Special Correspondence] Captain Jack has been captain of i Troop C for more than a half dozen years, receiving his commission in j 1910. In First Lieutenant Edwin A. I Nlcodomus, and Second Lieutenant George Roberts, he has two able as- ; sistants so that the troop is fast be coming one of the best drilled in the entire regiment. The troop presents the best appear ance of any troop in the regiment, the uniforms being neat and fitting, while many of the uniforms of the men in the other troops are baggv or too small. The Harrisburg boys will have a complete change of clothing. Includ ing underwear, as soon as the new equipment is issued. Within the next few days the men of the Harrisburg troop will receive their wages for the month of June. The payrolls have been made out and the monev, at the rate of fifty cents a day, will' be paid the men before the week is out. Want More Money Fifty cents daily is United States Army wages Instead of State wages, and the men are much disappointed that their wages are so low. They claim they were working for the State of Pennsylvania during the month of June, not being mustered in as United States soldiers until just before the troop left Mr. Gretna for El Paso. For this reason, claim the troopers, they i should be paid at the rate of State militia instead of United States Army wages. Each man is allowed 26.87 cents daily for food, and the mess sergeant and cooks 'of each troop must order food enough for the men to last ten days on this basis. Coffee, bacon, flour, bread and other "luxuries" are quoted at various prices, and the troop cooks and commanders must order the food to be paid for out of their "credit" at the commissary corps store. For the last three days, there has been no bread issued to the troops, and the men had to go back to hard tack. However, there has been fresh meat, potatoes and other varieties of food so that the men are not com plaining. Nights Pleasant Although the days are very hot '■ here, the temperature rising to over 100 degrees in the afternoon , the nights are pleasant for sleeping. The nights do not get cool, and there is no dew to make sleeping uncomfortable. A man may sleep on the ground any where and not catch cold. The sun drops behind the mountains that fringe the camp shortly after six o'clock in the evening and at 7:30 it is dark. C. H. B.
