Member Of Company M Tells Of Life In
Military Camp At La Grande
Member of Company M Tells of
Camp Life.
High Private Maxwell E. Ball, of
Company M 3rd Oregon, in a breezy
letter to the Capital Journal tells of
the many interscting things in the
life of the soldier. He gives the home
people of Salem a glimpse of the
boys' daily routino here in La Grande
with which even the local residents
are none too familiar with and are al
ways glad when the opportunity
presents itself to learn more of the
doings and haponings in the daily
program of the boys in Company M:
itself to learn more of the doings and
happenings in the daily program of
the boys in Company M:
La Grande, Ore., May 7. (Special
to the Capital Journal) Standing
out pre-eminently as the center of
social attraction for Company M last
week was'' the brilliant military ball
Thursday evening in honor of the cit
izens of La Grande who have enter
tained Salem's patriotic
cordially during
Under the direction of Sergeant ' far
and Mrs. J. R, Neer were next in
line. Following the march the men
were introduced to the receiving line
which consisted of the most promi
nent matrons of La Grande. The trip
of the "light fantastic" was thus
ushered in and the evening hours
were whiled away at almost uncon
ceivable speed. Only the thought of
the coming reveille suggested that
the glory of tho affair must remain
a memory rather than a reality.
To quote the social column of the
La Grande Evening Observer, "The
party was voted a huge success, es
pecially by the young people of La
Grande." And Company M almost
thought so itself.
They Need the "Mon."
Among the things well to the front
in the company's activity last week
was the Eagles' formal dedicatory
dance last Wednesday evening in
their new ' fraternal headquarters.
Under the command of Captain J.
R. Neer a special drill was given in
the ball room as a preliminary to the
evenings festivities. Despite the
hindrances of the slippery waxed
floor the boys gave a very creditab'e
exhibition in such military move
ments as could be presented in the
cramped space. In addition to the
plaudits of the crowd the free admis
sion to the danco was doubly appre
ciated, as we are as a whole a "dead
broke" assemblage of , fellows. The
buglers have been brushing up on
the more than welcome pay day
march so when the paymaster arri js
there will not be a fellow who dne3
not recognize the call to receive his
fifteen sheckles. A dollar looks tie
equivalent of 100 cents these dnys
and ho who still holds a little loose
change in his jeans is a decidedly
"lucky guy."
Mail time finds every man present
as far as conditions permit. He,
who is blessed with a brace of letters
is tho envy of all fellows. It really
is next to retreat, the big moment of
the day, for it is the link that unites I
us with ou,r kindred folk, friends
and acquaintances. The big packed
post bag too with its toothsome edi
bles always strikes a tender spot in
a fellow's happiness and he who is
so remembered in turn forgets not
his less fortunate squad members.
Lots of Music.
During tho late afternoon and
early evening hours group singing is
one of tho most popular diversions
with the boys. Under the compelling
throbs of Allen Jones' ukelele the lov
ers of impromptu song nre uncon
sciously drawn to the festival center,
that usually being a cot or two in
some protected corner. Company M
has some exeellont voices and as
these lead off with the gruffer "so
loists" timidly following, tho soft
feet." ,
In the opinion of all of us who
have the position presented to us
frequontly, a civilian .might easily
profit by heeding the rules for ten
minutes a day.
The proximity of the regular night
ly retreat with its inspiring salute of
the colors is suggested by a glance
at my watch so I miist hasten. Com
pany M was appointed custodian of
the flag for tho huge O.-W. R. & N.
flagpole at its dedication so the rais
ing and lowering of our beloved "Old
Glory" is more than a duty each day,
rather it is a priceless privilege.

the company's retreat for the sick is
