I made out a requisition for half a

I got to the store I showed It to the
sergeant In charge and he laughed at
me.
" 'You must get It Rlgned by the
major.' he said.
"I finally hunted up the major and
he told me that the order must Is? on
army form v'.hi.s!!, k. and not on
foolscap. I told ti i tn that my party
were recruits and wo had no station
ery. He told me to go or to send to
Washington and get some. I explained
that this would take long and that the
nroonis would not do nny good ir we
did not get them sooner. He then
nskod If the lieutenant was tbe eotu
niatider of my corps. I answered that
of course he was not. 'Then,' I was
told, 'he must put under his name
"l-'or Otfieer Commanding.' "
"I went back to camp, and after
writing out a new requisition had the
desired improvement made. When I
returned to the major he explalued
that It was all wrong. Instead of
saying 'required for such n regiment
and company, six brooms," I should
have included it with 'brooms six.'
I scratched out the line and rewrote
it. I was then told such corrections
were not allowed, and a new requsl
tion was necessary. I drew up n new
one and asked If if was all right.
The major reluctantly said he thought
It would pass. I then rode back to
camp and got it signed. Taking It to
the ordnance store I was informed that
nothing could be issued mi such un
mler. It bad to lie registered. I asked
for further particulars, and was In
formed that this could be done at the
major's otliee. Once more' I. trotted
back ami eventually a corporal placed
my pajier under n little stamp and In
flicted n mark something like u uo-

IT IS NOT AN EASY MATTER
to make a million people believe that so good a
magazine as Maxwell's Homemuker Mag'

Hut we are doing It because the magazine
speaks for itself and tells its own story.
Here is what one ot our subscribers at Crockett. Texas,
writes :
"The March number of your excellent magazine is before
me. It is certainly filled with helpful articles, and I would be
glad to know that every family In Texas had the benefit of its
teachings. The first article in this number. A Homecrofter's
Garden.' 6hould be preserved for reference. The Article
' Health "n the Home,' if carefvlly followed, would save
sickness in every family. Anything that I can do to assist
you in extending your circulation in Texas will.be gladly
done."
