FIGHTING MEN MUST
NOT TRADE HONORS
CAMP KEARNEY, San Diego—
National guardsmen in the 40th divi
sion, stationed here, must not ex
change bronze insignia, awarded for
excellence in markmanship, for the
ft silver insignia awarded to regular
army men, it is announced here.
Some of them made the change in
insignia worn in their uniforms on
the supposition that qualifications
obtained in rifle firing courses pre-1
scribed for the national guard prior ^
to its entry into federal service en
titled them to do so.
Mrs. Cecil Clegg was a passenger
for Hot Springs on the Dixie Queen.!
She expects to be back in Nenana
with her husband for the Fourth of
July celebration.
That idle acre is a German missile
for an American heart.

Patriotic Young Ladies Hold An
Enthusiastic Meeting and Have
Good Time.
The Girls’ Knitting club held one
of their periodical meetings last
night at the parlors of the Bachelor
■ Girls dormitory, in the telephone
i exchange building, for the purpose
^ of continuing the good work they |
i , .
! are engaged in.
The club is composed of the Misses
Queenie and Alta Russell, Mildred
: Anderson, Elizabeth Foster, Thora
1 Slippern, Helen Hutmacher and
Helena Kobe.

These patriotic young ladies, hav
ing pledged themselves to the con
genial task of knitting sweaters and
other useful articles of apparel for
the use and comfort of the boys at
the front, meet occasionally to dis
cuss the work done, lay plans for
future work of a kindred nature
and to continue their self imposed
tasks.
The membership, at the present
time, is necessarily limited, but the
girls hope to be able to add to their
number from the ranks of other
girls who will, no doubt, be here
with the growth of the city and re
sulting increase in the population.
These meetings of the Girls’ club,
while being primarily undertaken for
the purpose of carrying on the work
as outlined, also partakes of the
nature of an entertainment and
dainty refreshments are serve'1 One
of their number is elected at each
meeting to wash the dishes and in
general remove all traces of the
feast, which is always done in a
very thorough manner. This is al
ways considered the post of honor.
“Carry on” is their watchword,
and here’s wishing more power to
them.

BE SENT ACROSS
TOST SLOUGH
Live Stock May Possibly Be Sent
For Work Across Lost Slough
In A Few Days.
News from the Lost Slougr coun
try would appear to be encouraging
as the waters are said to be reced
ing fast and that the volume of water
flowing in the chanel which crosses
the grade is said to be daily dimin
ishing.
The current turned from this
slough into the old channel of the -
river would appear to be deepening ;
it and there is a remote possibility'
of the whole of it being carried j
away in this manner.
It is expected that in a few days ;
it will be possible to get live stock j
across for work on the grading con-'
tracts beyond- It is reported that;
an attempt was made today to swim
some of the animals across, but the
!
statement could not be verified at
a late hour.
There are several men in town ]
who have had grading contracts
! awarded them to grade sections of
j the right of way lying within the
limits of Residency 4 (43-mile)
across the river from the engineer
ing camp at this point and towards
Lignite. These contractors have
been held up for some time, as the
nature of the work they are ex
pected to perform calls for the use
of horses to draw the dump cars,
and until facilities for transporting
the stock had been assured, it was
useless, for all practical purposes,
for the men to proceed to their
future camping grounds.
The news received regarding the
feasibility of getting stock over in
a few days will be hailed with much
satisfaction by these men, who have
spent a long period of enforced idle
ness in town.
