SIGNAL CORPS ID
I In direct contravention of all rules
and regulations pertaining to, and
! followed by the members of the local
j Signal corps, they have decided to
I work, and work publicly too, and as
an outlet for their newly acquired
j aspirations towards manual labor,
have decided, after much argument,
and sage deliberation, to cultivate
a war garden.
| Almost any day between the hours
of 10:30 a. m. and noon, the chance
: passerby may have his or her at
{tcntion attracted by huge clouds
' of earth being precipitated in vari
| gus directions all over the field.
Closer investigation will disclose the
fact that it is neither a German
bombardment, nor a corps of en
gineers digging a communication
trench through to China, but merely
a “key-pounder” on the end cf a
No. 2, bent on excavating a war
garden. However interested the
passerby may be in the work, it is
hoped that he (or she) will not
allow his (or her) presence to de
tract in any way from the work in
hand, as these bursts of speed only
last about seven minutes at a time
(telegraph timel and the good work
has to be completed this year.
The boys also plan to have a
flower garden in connection with the
cultivation of the more serious vege
tables and the matter of posies was
left to Glen Dickonson, on account
of him being chief cook and being
more acquainted with fio'urs. Glen
says that bard and soft wheat are
the only kinds that he knows of and
“opines” that they raise faster in
hot cakes than in gardens, so he
declines to be the goat or Luther
Bur'car.k for the bouquet lovers.
Eckerson says that if the garden
wasn’t so close to Jim Hagan’s, he
would plant hops and raise a few
smiles, but “safety first.” Bill
Growden will plant one corner of i
the garden with tobacco and the'
other with cigarette papers, and is1
all jake for the summer. Dickenson
suggested that he raise some matches j
too, and quit bumming the necessary
vestas.
So far the ‘chief’ has not expressed ,
himelf in regards to the new enter- |
prise beyond merely stating that he J
didn't care what they planted in j
their ! ! censored ! ! garden, as long
as it was something to eat.

OF ARMY STYLE!
--
ALDERSHOT, England, April 30.;
; American soldiers encamped in this j
j district had an object lesson in the
; conduct of a big boxing match here
j a few days ago when they were in
| vited to be the guests of the British
I soldiers at a program of f ourteen
j contests between representatives of
I the Aldershot Command and the
j Southern Command of the Britsh
j army.
The headlines of the tournament
| included about half of the best box
ers in England, now all in khaki. |
Among them were Sergeant Jimmy!
Wilde, Sergeant Rolph of the Can-j
adians, Sid Burns, Corporal Billy j
Fullerton, and several others whose |
names were well known at the N'a
j tional Sporting club in toe pre-war.
days.
There were no purses, the prizes
i being simple silver and bronze medals
worth about $5 each. Had the com
petition taken place at a London
arena and been open to the nublic,
the program would have been worth
about $25,000 to the promoters. But
! the public was not admitted, and
; the price of admission to the soldier ;
j specators ranged from twelve certs j
to one dollar. The latter amount'
corresponded to the $30 seats in the ! ^
old days of the National Sporting' —
club in London. j
There was an enormous attend-!
ance of officers and men, together :
with a great many soldiers’ families.
It was probably the first time m the !
history of the ring in which men,
women and children attended a
match of championship.
Despite the keenness of the fight- j
ing,there was only one bout in which I
any blood flowed. The majority of
the men taking part were so p'nysi-|
cally fit, owing to their military
training that they were able to stand
punishment with a degree of forti-.
punishmen with a degree of forti- i
tude seldom seen in professional
boxing meetings.
\ An impressive feature of the en
! tire competition, from the stand- .
j point of the American spectators,
j was the scrupulously strict and fair
! refereeing. Holding and clinching
I were stopped immediately, one warn
| ing only being given. Any pair who
| stood up and engaged in “shadow
fighting” also received a first-—and
| last— caution. There were four-;
j teen contests altogether, each of six
! rounds. The Aldershot Command
| won the meet, taking thirteen of
! the fourteen evnts.
Comander Walcott, head of the
j American branch of the British Ad
; miralty Intelligence Department in
! London, was the chief referee.
PHILADELPHIA, May 29.—Mil- ic
lions of consumers throughout the, 1
country are experiencing delay injs
filling orders they placed for an- s
thracite coal since spring opened.
This in spite of the fact that the ,
production now is the greatest in *
the history of the country. A cir
eular issued by the Anthracite Com
mittee of the United States Fuel !
Administration explains the situa- “j
tion. It says:
“Many complaints are being re
ceived from state administrators that
buyers of antracite coal cannot ob
tain any satisfactory information
relative to their supply from parties
with whom they normally conduct
their business.
“One of the producing companies
is answering inquiries as follows
‘To secure the most equitable dis
tribution of anthracite coal and to
provide the greatest satisfaction dur
ing the coming yedr, it has been ar
ranged by the Anthracite Committee
that the dealers shall seento their
coal from the sources of supplies
that furnished it during the coal
year of 1916-1917. Therefore, if
you will take the matter up with the
l
: 1
company which supplied you ir. that
>eriod you will be given every con
ideration.
“The foregoing reply answers this
luestion satisfactorily and, if you
igree, we would be pleased to have !
•ou make replies along the sanu
ine.”
That the big work of co-ordinat
ng the distribution of anthracite
nay be handled with the best sys
em and dispatch, the Anthracite
’ommittee has asked that all local
uel administrators shall take up any
iUestion as to deliveries through
heir respective state fuel admini- i
trators instead of dealing direct j
•ith producing companies.
