TWO OF OUR LOCAL HIGH-RANKING NON-COMS, Sergeants Klitza and Hogwood,are still
stiff and sore this raorning,but able to be about,-after a torrid session
with the animal of the antlers,-at the Elks Lo ige at Skagway last night*
A good number of local members of the "Best People on Earth" went up to
see that the local candidates survived the initiation ceremonies.
WE’RE GOING TO RUN OUT OF CONGRATULATIONS soon if they keep shoving old non
coras up the line and making new ones. We’re glad to see Sgts.Cole and
McCall of Co*”F",and Sgt.Loftin of Co*"S” with another stripe above their
elbows,-and extend our greetings to the new corporals,-"Tony" Luben,
"Slim" Daniels, and Rogerson, of Co*"E" and Cpls.Luna and Rudy of the "F"
outfit. The Post loses one of its best riflemen today,however,when "Sure
shot" Hargraves of "F" leaves the Army flat on its back,and goes out into
the world to make his fortune.
' A GOOD MAN MAY BS DOWN, but it’s hard to put him out* Frinstance,-1st Sgt*
Martin of "F" may be a hospital patient,-on two crutches,-but he still

"Summer has arriv,«and ain’t Mature wonderful,-with them gab
oonias and spitunias,and all them flowers blooming so fragrant.
And the fisherman’s boats in the Cove dot the water like
freckles on a corn-fed country maiden's nose,seeking the elusive bass,
(the fishermen,-not the maiden’s nose),-e.nl thou ;h the bait is wormy,
(the fisherman’s)-still the fish seem grateful«
And the coal boats which always arrive at evening,-are with us
again, ThoughthA last one was the scene of festivity,being unloaded to
the strains of two-step,^altz, and one-step,-as tlie music was wafted by the
evening zephyrs across the limpid waters to the toiling soldiers*
^ile at midnight Company "E” served luncheon to all* It was
an enjoyable evening of pleasure to all.
And the grate which grows overnight,and always needs cutting
ain’t then pretty,-and aar.:t Mature wonderfiA. Me ask you-ain't it! I! ”
