SOLDIER LETTERS
A Word From the Tanker Tomcats.
A few lines to my friends of good
old Southern Oregon, as to the great
progress of the tank corps.
I enlisted In the tank corps in
Seattle, was Inducted at Grants Pass,
-was sent to Camp Colt, Gettysburg,
Pa., where I spent f 're days In quar
antine, or Casual Company, where
a severe examination was given.
physically and mentally, but the best
of all was that lovely "three-in-one'
In the arm. The sixth day my name
was called off for transfer, which
made me feel a hundred per cent
tine, for believe me, Casual Com'
pany is no Joke. I was then trans
ferred to 334 Battalion, Co. B, Light
Tank Corps.
When I went Into the company I
didn't know how to execute about-
face property, but all that stuff came
fast and furious and now I am only
three weeks' old a soldier and am
third sergeant of 334 battalion, com
pany S, tank corps and am plugging
right ahead.
That about-face, to ; the rear,
march, squads right or left about,
parade rest, or right in the line is
old stuff now. We have all that
down pat, - but the main question
now Is what are they going to do
with us overseas? There are twelve
battalions of tank corps. Today we
toad a review early in the morning,
that is, of the entire tank corps. Our
battalion, that is, the 334 and 333,
were picked out to be the best. Guess
who won? We did, of course, the
best out of twelve battalions. I wish
you could have seen our company
line when we went by the reviewing
stand. It was as straight as a die.
I am glad we pulled out ahead.
Secretary of War Baker was here.
They thought we had been in train
ing six or seven months, when three
weeks was the most.
Nobody knows what they are go
ing to do with us, but I am ready for
anything, France or stay at home.
I must ring off now, for it Is time
for taps. I beg to remain,
SGT. M. H. DAVIS.

Aerial Compasses.
Many difficulties had to be over
come In the production of a satisfac
tory compass for aerial work. Chief
among these was that of neutralizing
the magnetism of the engine (and In
particular the magneto), and of pre
venting the effect of centrifugal force,
which caused the card or dial Inside
the compass to swing in a direction
quite Independent of north when the
airplane was banking on a turn. How
ever, a truly excellent compass Is now
In nse.

there Is of it."
He, sow that the remark was -not
well received and tried to save him

The Price of a Bite
A customir wauts us to figure out tho approximate cost of a
bit at the present iprlce of foodstuff.
But we cau't do It.
There Is too much variation in the price of groceries. Boms
grocers keep tho price up aud are looking (or a chance to raise It
a notch. That contribute to the high cost or living.
We don't do that.
We buy economically and soil just as we buy, and our custo
mers got the benefit.
You get better bltoa at less cost when you buy from us. Fig
