Ily moved into the neighborhood, the d women of the vicinity would get together; and after a lot of preparation would have a house warming or rc- epti ni for; the new folks. All the neighbors would | gather at the new folks house some nigh!, : and in the good old fashioi.ed way make . the new pe q>le f< el that they were. am->ng , I friends, and by the time the party broke I •ip tho, new lady would feel that she : < ouid go over to Mr;. Jones’ house and t borrow the rolling pin or .'-nmething equally ms handy The men folks would ! ■ ■ jigr.gate over in one corner of the ? tr ior and after consumit g svvoral quarts of pink tea and counties: crullers and ; ginger snaps would par the now mar, of the house on the shoulder and invite him to come >wr some night and try some ; good tobacco. All this had the efft-c’. of making the new folks feel as If they had made a good move in coming to the neighborhood, it got the folks a< quaintcfl, and gave the kids an opportunity to stay up after S p m. Any one < f which three, to a per fectly good reason for a house-warming Conditions in the army however are slightly different than In private life in many things', but that good feeling of fellowship and friendliness permeates a < amp as well as a neighborhood. While it may be impossible to serve pltik tea and crackers to the fellows, it Is very possible to have a house-warming or reception for them but on a slightly larger scale than civilians. Hut Number 75 received some new neighbors a few days ftgo« and the build ing secretary. Mt. J. B Campbell, con ceived the idea e.f welcc-mlng the- boys and make them feel that 75 wa< their friend. i Accordingly he invited the new men xs ho have recently been sent to this part >f the camp from Alabama. North Carolina! and Louisiana, to an outdoor reception! Friday night, July 26th. About 7 p m. the "guests'’ arrived. | some 3,000 in all and the accommodations ( around the big boxing ring were ample j had the crowd been 30,00>‘. Acting as master of ceremonies Mr Campbell made ’ an address of welcome and then called upon Secretary Richards to tell thv fel lows what 75 was there for. After as suring them that they were mure than welcome Richards condu- ted a .-ing-song. with Secretary Greenleaf at the piano. | During the ring-song. Private Johnson of the 20th Company, Recruit Receiving Depot, came to the platform and sang. Physical Director Prechtel was then given the floor and started thv boxing program of the evening Thv following bouts were conducted. Emmett of New York, and Walker of Louisiana Home wood of North <’arolina and Turner, of Alabama. Saunders, of Alabama, and Kernodle. of Alabama. Riley of Nm : York and Conrough of New Y<>k. John son of North Carolina and Walker of Alabama. Baugartner of Alabama and ! Urich of North Carolina Irvin of Ala- j bama and Hunt of North Carolina. The bouts were fast an furiouse and if the | men show thv same spirit "over there" ' that they displaced doing the bouts, Huns are in for a warn time This ended !he outdoor program and ■ the crowd adjourned to the Hut to the ' movie shew. The new men are in the i Recruit Receiving Depot at the present i time and are as fine a body of men as j have come to camp. They already have caught the Hancock spirit and g «. prom ise of developing into a splendid body ! of soldiers. At 19th Company M.G. T. C. Banquet Last Satnrday night the secretaries I of Y. M. i’ A.

We can easily believe it. for verily It hath an Oder like unto that of the burning combination of red pepper, cat-hair and fertilizer. What have we done to merit such punishment? Wonder what disease the poor pipe has? Wonder why Pivate Oliver misleads his lady friends; One wrote to him. "Dear, please stay In the Fighting Bakery Co. I wan' you to help win the war." Now, wouldn’t it jar your appetite? Whatz Byerly getting fat? Why if he was kettle-rendered. enough grease would’nt be obtained to fry his oars in. Large ears or skinny man? Which? Wouldn't it be awful to send your photo to your home paper for publication and have them mistake it for Happy Hooli gm and put it on the "funny" page. Aw! Fade away. If you meet a man from the Bakery Company who wears a smile resembling a wave on a pan of greasing dish-water, begin your chat A-ith him in this man ner: "i have no cigarettes, I have nn two-bit pieces or shirt* to loan." If he doesn't move on it to a sign you haven't guess it. So then you can say to him: "I have no girl friend who has no fellow.’ Then he a ill look disappointed, burn a match and go on his way. They are darlings, you bet. And do not forget, They're all skirt -crazy, 'cept me. Each raves o’er his girl.
