REPLIES TO C. OF C. Answers Letter Sent by Local Body Tells of Work at Camp. A Icttfr from Co!. O. V. Krryrrmuth. answering the letter of Thankrgiv ing greetings -"nt the ccioncl and his regiment by the local Chamber of Commerce, has: tfn received here. '-'"J. Frej er. nuth eprse his appr" f ia thm of the fact that the folks "bark home" are remembering the soldiers, and gop on to t r II f,f v-r,rrw of the nrt!vitir .it f'amp hhelhy. Part of hisIrttr follows: "Tho ofticer.s of this regiment ;ire taking a two wf?ks' course of instruction, three months was generally tho time for this lnstruc tio:i. but we are crowding it into two 'C?kj, yo you e:m ? that we have no time to kso. This is Sunday, therefore I ha'.f 'ime to answer your letter. "I wish you could see tho officers operating a field piece, getting site. lanK's, deflection, etc., aii'I operating' the breech mechanism; it wuiiM do you good to see tli.' earnest way in which they do their work. "We ire also clfii n tr a crfat amount of riding. Hi'wl it surely takes a. goo.J Imr man tM K o'.rr the stumps, thronfh the ravines, tip and down hills, under branches and between trees. Von would think that mme could set through alive, bnt so far no on has f,ti hurt erep on the luwrr extremities, whi h is vr ry noticeable when an officer attempts to sit down. üir instructors never ask us hew feel hut take us through the samp insf ructions day after day. Through this riding we are pretty well i all'iiisol and ran sit on a niir straight. " u r work is very interesting and ery hard. You no doubt reali.e that turning an infantry t-omp.inv into a battery means a Errat amount et study and labor and perseverance. Fo if th people at homo do not gft letters as often a they like, we hope that they will know wo arc thinking of them but have no time to writ". "The ofii.-ers and no-n of tli i rimenf. Mirely appreciate the kindness that is shown to them by the Chamber of Commerce and people of South l:m 1. Wo know that you are with us. and it is our desire to make vou fee', proud of the regiment that came from South Pend." A. S. BURKHART OFF TO INSURANCE MEETING Vice-President A. S.

The work of the Red Cross in both the surgical dressings and hospital supplies departments is splendidly organized and the women are working with all their might. They are sending in good work and things ! are coming along splendidly but they can always use more workers. Anyone wlio does not belong to any of the auxiliaries should report for service at the Red Cross building and they will be iven something to do for there is work for all. STUDEBAKER CLUB MINSTRELS AT THE OLIVER DEC. 3 AND 4 The Oliver theater announces as it attraction for Monday and Tuesday evenings, Dec. and 4. the .Studebaker club minstrels.. Iieport.s from members of the club in charge of the show, indicate. that the performance to be given, will be tluequal of any professional minstrel troup in the country. There is some old time minstrel talent in the Studebaker organization, which has been pressed into service and used for foundation upon which to build a successful shew. Three weeks ago tho first rehearsal wis held and since that time it has been one continuous grind of afternoon and evening rehearsals to put this aggregation into a smooth running and well oiled minstrel troup. Special care was taken in sole ting the balance of tlie members, who make up the ca.t. Pleaty of excellent materia! was secured out of the 4,000 or more Studebaker emploves. s.ome of the old time plantation melodies, without which a performance of this; kind would not be a real minstiel show, are part of the program, but there will also be many new song hits and a number of excellent specialty acts, which are new and original. The best opportunity in the world is given to the end men to make their jokes "local." and there is little doubt but that none of the old "gags" which have been "cracked" in minstrel shows for years past, will be forth-coming Monday and Tuesday evenings. The Studebaker 1 lab minstrels 'have bfen worked up in a three ( part performance. Following the ! opening minstrel pn in which so1 1 Ts, mil men and interlocutor gein Their work, will be a series o olios followed ! v a southern plantation after-piece. FIND B.
