RICHMOND BOY TELLS OF ARMY LIFE ON BORDER

GeorgeE Stidham the ..Only Richmond.SoIdier in Camp Stephen Little. . - The following letter has been received by the Palladium from Corporal George E. Stidham, Richmond soldier, who 13 stationed on the Mexican border. The letter follows: "Nogales, Arizona, Nov. 19, 1917. "The Richmond Palladium, "Richmond, Indiana. "Dear Sirs I have been informed that the 'Pall' would like to have letters from the soldiers of Richmond, and as I have been on the border for some months I will give you a sketch of our life along the Mexican line. If you consider this of interest to your readers, I will be glad to have given a little information about army life to the people of my homt- town, since at the present time nearly everyone in more or less interested in the soldiers of the United States army. "Our camp is called 'Stephen Little,' and is the 35th United States Infantry, situated at the little town of Nogales Arizona. The Mexican boundary-line divides the town and the majority of the inhabitants on either side are Mexicans. The camp proper is in a level valley at the north edge of town and about half a mile from the line Itself. It consists of two thousand men, since I, K and L companies are doing duty In otjier parts of this state Describes the Wortr "We had been in tents until recentwe may have plenty of fresh air; we ments although they are not entirely completed yet. Each building is large enough to accommodate fifty men and there are four buildings for each company, a part of one bing used for an orderly-room. Our bunks and locker3 are lined up on each Fide of the build- . ing leaving an isle in the middle where there are three stoves. The windows along each side can be taken out so we may have plenty of fresh air; we

also have electric lights for our use at night. "I belong to Company E. Our company officers consist of a first-lieutenant who is the company commander, and three second-lieutenants who are his assistants. The non-commissioned officers consist of nine sergeants and seventeen corporals, each corporal has a squad of eight men to lead, instruct, and look after at all times. "You would probabiy be interested In what we do each day of the week, so I will endeavor to describe to you a regular week's work and they are all practically the same. "Sunday is always a day of rest to all except those on duty In the kitchen or on guard. There is Sunday school and church at the Y. M. C. A. and most of us write letters, play ball, take walks or anything for recreation. We also have a victrola and pool-table that all are welcomed to use. Up At Six in Winter "Each morning in the winter time we get up at six o'clock; in the summer time at five o'clock and stand "Reveille" before breakfast to see that all soldiers are present. Immediately after breakfast we sweep out our quarters, make our bunks and pick up all dirt around the ; camp. Each man makes his own bunk but the privates do the 'policing up' as the cleaning up camp is called and one 'non-com from each building is in charge of them. "On Monday, providing we drill, we line up with rifles and belts at seven o'clock and march out to the parade grounds where we have two hours of physical exercises. Then follows bayonet exercise, bomb throwing and drills in companies and battalions. All these take up the morning till eleventhiray when we march in lor dinner thirty when we march in for dinner 'fall out' again for two more hours of whatever kind of drill the lieutenant sees fit to give us and that is usualiy field work and skirmish drill. At three o'clock all non-commissioned officers attend school for an hour and at fourthirty we usually have a parade. It lasts till supper-time and after that

we are free to go where we please but must be back in time for 'check',, at eleven o'clock. "Tuesday we probably take a practice-march vrhich means cairying our full packs and covering from fifteen to twenty miles before one o'clock in the afternoon. It Is a jolly bunch when we start out about daylight, ail singing, and never thinking of that seventy-five pounds which is on each back. But, oh, when we come back, a tired, hungry, dusty battalion, al! ready for a good dinner and an afternoon's rest on our bunks till parade time !n the evening. Wednesday on "Fatigue." "On Wednesday the whole company is on fatigue, that iz, all the privates. Some are detailed for work on the icewagon or meat-wagon others for hauling wood or gravel and others for building of tearing down buildings and there is always some of each going on. The privates do the work and there are from four to six non-coms, in charge of them, the other non-coms, have the day off. "Thursday we drill the same as Monday till noon and after dinner we clean our rifles, roll our bedding and prepare to mount guard at four thirty in the evening. The guard consists of three detachments. (1) The outposts, which are store-houses, lumber, forage and all government property. These are all guarded from fire and theft, (2) The camp guard which is stationed at the guard-house where ell the prisoners are kept. The sentinals there are posted at different parts of the camp for its protection and some guard the prisoners while they are at work. (3) The line guard which is down town along International Avenue, which divides the United States from Mexico. The duty of this guard Is to keep order along the border, allow no soldiers to cross the line and help the custom officers in any vay they can. A guard lasts for twentyfour hours and each sentinal is on duty two hours and off four. "Saturday is our day of inspection.

All clothing and equipment is at Its best and at nine o'clock we line up in the company street where each rifle and man is carefully inspected. Immediately afterwards we stand by our bunks while the officers come through and look over all of our equipment which is layed out on our bunks. This all takes place in the morning and we have the afternon to ourselves till sun-down when we stand 'Retreat.' "Thanking you very kindly for any trouble I may have caused you, I beg to remain "Very truly yours, "Corporal George E. Stidham, Co. 'E 35th, Inf. Nogales, Ariz.

It Pays to Buy the Best But every housewife should remember that the best is not always the highest priced. Experience has taught me that you can't always judge quality by the cost sign. That is particularly true of baking powder. Baking powder quality can be determined only by bake day results. The baking powder that serves you best regardless of what you pay is the best to buy and use. I have, made a close study and careful investigation of baking powder, because it is unquestionably one of the most important of baking materials. It effects all ingredients employed with it. No woman, no matter how careful her selection of flour, sugar, eggs, etc., can employ the limit of baking economy if she uses a poorly made, wasteful baking powder. Merit, not money, is the only safe basis upon which to estimate the worth of a baking powder. Fortunately the housewife no longer has to conduct costly experiments of her own to determine just which particular brand is the most efficient and economical. Experts like myself, make a business of testing baking powders and accurately arriving at their actual value. We make no mistakes in our decisions as our experiments are made along strictly scientific lines.

Millions of women are now profit

ing by the aid offered by domestic scientists. I know this to be true as choice is now centered on the brand of baking powder that I and other domestic scientists have found superior through both chemical and oven tests. It is becoming more popular every day. Its tremendous sales increase was not influenced in the least by cost. It is a moderate priced baking powder. Costs considerably less than some other brands. Still it is preferred by women who could and would pay more were it possible to secure the desired quality. They don't buy this brand of baking powder because of a saving of cost but because of its demonstrated superiority. To them it means the greatest quality value the greatest purity and greatest certainty of results that can be had at any price. Decidedly the best, not because of moderate price, but because of its unimprovable merit. In justice to those who read this article that they may share in the savings and baking success assured by the biggest selling and recognized superior baking powder it is no more than fair that I give publicity to the brand preferred alike by experts and America's millions of housewives Calumet Baking Powder. .
