A SUNDAY AT
PLATTSBURG
Staff Correspondent Tells of
Benefits of Military
Training
[Special Correspondent*]
Plattsburg, N. Y„ July 28. (Mili
tary Training Camp) Sunburned
and healthy, with abnormal appetites
and an unlimited capacity for work,
the men of this camp are In them
selves demonstrating: lncontrovertibly
the efficacy and wholesome results
that compulsory military training
would have on the youth of this coun
try.
A "Sunday In camp" Is just exactly
what the term implies, a lazy, letter
writing. sleepy sort of day that one
spends either In the lak« or in his
bunk. A trip to Lake Placid or
Ansable Chasm for the energetic, per
haps, but for tho majority—inertia
and somnolence.
Sunday is general clean-up day.
Company inspection takes place at 8
a. m. and the remainder of the day
till 5 o'clock is the rookies' own. Last
Sunday was very hot and sunny and
hundreds put in the time washing
socks, shirts, pajamas, underclothing
and what not In order to remove the
"real estate" that had been accumu- ]
lated during the week. The washable
clothes at least become fresh. If not'
wholly white or whatever the original
color may have been. Shoe shining is i
one of the most popular company l
sports of a morning.
The Sunday dinner is a matter of
a regular meal plus a tfew frills in- j
eluding ice cream and pink cakes. A
considerable number shake from their
feet the dust of camp and \isit the.
Hotel Champlain for a civilian-cooked
meal. Personally, I prefer the camp
meals.
Theodore Roosevelt is expected here
this week. but even the Colonel's
strenuousness cannot compare with
that which will be required of tb«
businessmen and students during the
coming week when company combat
tactics are Introduced in the open
country. Each man carrying forty
pounds and his gun.
We have an old gentleman in Com
pany C. Sixth Regiment who is in his
60th year, but not a murmur has been
heard from him, while others, younger
and supposedly more robust, have
dropped out of the column from ex
haustion.
The company received a surprise on
entering- the mess shack the other
day. Before each plate was a long
oblong box, placed as a favor at a
party. The presents turned out to
be tubes of tooth paste, but whether
some enterprising firm placed them
there as an advertisement or the gov
ernment has adopted the method of
sug-gestion in its discipline has not
been satisfactorily settled.

TROOPERS LOSE
BIG MESS TENT
Blows Down During Heavy
Rain Storm; Soldiers Get
Shower Bath
From C. Hugh Hair
Captain Jack and his men were
During a severe rainstorm here last
Tuesday night the Governor's Troop
mess tent was blown down and before
the troopers could pull down the sides
of their tents the rain drenched the
beds and drove the boys out.
The troopers, after covering their
equipment, stripped and stood out in
the rain, enjoying the rain bath very
much. It was the first opportunity they
have had to get a real shower bath
and they were out for an hour.
Captain Jack and his men were in
inoculated on Sunday, the forty-fourth
anniversary of the popular com
mander's birth, so that they were not
in shape for a celebration on that
day. It was the third and last inocu
lation against typhoid fever that the
men will have to experience.
Some Sick Troopers
The third inoculation appeared to
affect the men far more than the other
two and there were many who re
sponded to sick call the morning after
••cillation. Captain Jack was
one of the many who felt the operation
greatly. The Harrisburg commapder
suffered during the day and the night,
but is in his usual good health at the
present time.
The first payday has come and gone
and the boys squared up accounts,
purchased clothing needed and have a

; little spending money in their pocketa.
It is understood there will be another
payday Within two weeks.
By permission from headquarters,
the troop canteen is again In operation.
Sergeant Charles Harclerode, Corporal
Clyde McCauley and Corporal Robert
McNeal are In charge and are nightly
selling gallons of lemonade, many
packages of chewing gum. candy and
other "luxuries." The profits from the
store go into the fund for the pur
chase of additional comforts for the
mess of the men.
Men Enjoy Cookies
Besides the government rations the
men arc now enjoying Joed tea, pud
dings, cakes and other such items, the
cooks, Frank Weber and Horace Oves,
preparing bountiful meals for the
troopers.
Cook Weber made a visit to the
hospital as the result of getting his
middle finger of the left hand mixed
In with some bacon he was slicing.
The finger was badly cut.
Reports from official sources are to
the effect that horses will be given the
troop v\ithln the next few days. Thou
, sands of horses are now available for
the Pennsylvania regiments, more
. than five thousand horses having suc
cessfully passed the three weeks' quar
■ antine period in the big corral near
the cavalry cam®.
Horses for Troopers
According to the semiofficial reports,
only a few horses will be given the
men at a time until the recruits learn
to ride and the various cavalry evo
lutions. Within two weeks, however,
the entire Harrisburg troop likely will
be equipped, drilled and reanly to
move to any district for protection of
the border.
Indications are that the Pennsyl
vania troops will be moved to the
border district for the purpose of
patrolling. Prom semiofficial sources
comes the news that General Persh
ing's force is to be withdrawn from
Mexico for a time to be re-equipped
and to allow the soldiers rest during
the rainy season. While the regulars
are resting the Pennsylvania and other
state troops will do patrol duty.
With Boy« of Company I
(From Sergeant Charles W. Thomas)
Camp Stewart. Fort Bliss, Texas.—
There was real Joy in camp last Fri
, day, when the boys of Company I who
' enlisted before June 25 were lined up
for their first pay. While it was only
ten days' pay, the boys who were
"broke" were glad to get some money.
A conspicuous figure at all company
drills is "Spot," the company mascot.
Private Wells, of the first squad. Is de
tailed as orderly to General O'Xell and
'Spot" Is rapidly learning to march in
his place or lay in the blank space
when we stop.

Save a Diamond

Claster's Save a Diamond Plan proved so popular last year that ■
we have been requested by a number of our patrons to repeat it
r~~*F Why You Should Own A Diamond
Mf, A you are interested in owning a diamond, give this a moment's time. We j
have been selling diamonds to the public in our city for many years until we I
I numbered our time-honored and satisfied customers by the thousands. To J
broaden our field of customers last year, we adopted our Save a Diamond Plan I
|| of selling, which proved remarkably successful

time, has led us as responsible Jewelers to present these facts to you, and give you a few II
m reasons why you should buy a diamond. Notice nearly every careful person you meet and 11
tM i? you will observe a diamond, large or small, worn in at least one form or another, ring, pin, j
m § I brooch, earrings, stud, sleeve links, scarf pin, etc. It shows a thoughtfulness of ones j|
[ 3An I personal attire. In addition to its value as a personal adornment, the best arguments for |]
|| B f ■ buying a diamond is Its constantly increasing value. Fifteen years ago diamonds were ||
■ t flf* I selling for Just half their present vaTVie, making a substantial increase each year which, |
this rate of advance as high, every condition tends to indicate a further rise.
