from Angusta, Ga.,
faction of Ccmpany ‘C’ boys with
Camp Hancock and the fine location
allotted to the Somerset company.
All heard from write in praise of the
excellent food provided by Uncle Sam
and some grow eloquent in desecrib- |
ing the quality and cheapness of’
Georgia melons. Advices from Camp
Lee, where the first contingent of se-
lective service men from this county
are located, are as flattering as those |
from Camp Hancock in reference to
the location and equipment of the

Naming Him
I’m a patriot, but damme
If I ever call him Sammy, -
If I ever call him Freddy,
Petey; Georgie, Billy, Eddie,
Or give him a handle silly
That will make him out a gillie.
He is full of pep and snappy,
And is not a spineless chappie,
Nor a simpering lounge lizard
With much yellow'in his gizzard.
He's a soldier and a fighter,
Not a bally, blooming blight,
Nor a sissy who does hover
Neath a ribboned corset cover;
Not a male impersonator,
Nor a Broadway tea-room waiter,
But a regulation heller,
Yes, a rough-and-ready feller,
With his finger on the trigger
And some muscle in his figger.
In a mix-up he’s a devil;
He’s a scrapper on the level.
And he doesn’t use face-powder,
But a kind that speaks much.
He does net care to be petted,
He does not care to be fretted
By a name like Gussie, Benny,
Abie, Hyacinth or Jenny.
Not a single pet-name, thankee.
He’s no Sammy. He’s a Yankee.
