Interesting Account of His Journey to
New Mexico-—In Quarantine
at Present Time.
THE SALINE CANDY KITCHEN
Camp Cody, Deming, New Mexico.
August 20'. 191S.
Dear Editor:
Without doubt there are many people in Saline who would he able to
&ive by far a better idea of New
Mexico than I will he able to, for immediately after leaving train we all
marched to our division of the camp
and have been in quarantine yards
since.
We are situated 6,500 feet above
sea level. The air is very light and
dry. Those who have heen here say.
tiiey have not seen any ram for some
time. The nights are somewhat
chilly but as soon as the sun comes
up it begins to get real hot. We have
the clear blue sky overhead and
about six inches of sand beneath us.
We are situated on a plateau surrounded by the Koeky ranges. Tha
nearest range appears to be only a
mile or so distant, but have been informed that it is 15 to 18 miles off.
Distances are ve.y deceiving, there
being no vegetation, no trees, etc.
Our trip out here was certainly a
c'elightful one and every chap enjoyed
it very much. It was all a new ex-
i erience to me. After leaving Chicago we tra\e'ed across the upper
i.art of Missouri, go!ng through Kansas City. We crossed the Missouri
river just -before entering Kansas.
Crossed the entire state of Kansas,
passing through what had shortly be-
.fore been large wheat ranches. After
leaving Kansas we cut across the upper corner of Oklahoma to the Rio
Grande river-in New Mexico. We
followed this until we reached Deming, which is located in the southern
part of New Mexico. Our trip through
the mountains wa=> wonderful. The
reflection of the beautiful western
sunset on the sides cf the mountains
was certainly magnificent.        {
As' I stated before, we are in quarantine camps, so are not able to do
very much sight-seeing. Everybody
is feeling fine and as happy as can
be. This climate is certainly very
healthy. The M'chigan chaps made
a mighty good imi ressicn upon first
entering here. Captain informed us
yesterday that we were as fine a
bunch of fellows physically and in-
toller-tuaUy as e/er put their footprints within Camp Cody. Every fellow has taken the responsibility upon himself to do his best while,
marching, drilling or whatever it
may be. The first night here we all
t,ot together and sang some of the
good old songs we sang in Michigan.
And beleve' me, it sure did surprise
the surrounding divisions. And before
we had finished they were all joining
in. We have had considerable drill
with gas masks. We are expected to
he able to put on the .gas masks in
six seconds after s;,me practice. It
was no time befo.e a lot of the fellows were able to put them on in five
seconds. It surprised the sergeants
in charge. They went to the officers
remarking that they wondered where
Michigan boys get that stuff.
I can say that we have a clean
bunch of men; and always looking
out for the other fellow, and for the
company as a who^e. Yesterday we
went through the gas departments.
The first building contains enough
chlorine gas to put a fellow out o?f
commission providing he inhaled but
one deep breath. ' As a rule, they
said, the boys dread the idea of going
in, notwithstanding they have gasmasks on. But not a single one of us
showed any signs of fear. We were
in there about five minutes. Meanwhile the instructor had us remove
our masks for a few seconds to get a,
little sniff of the gas, so as to be able
to detect it when it is in our presence. A little was all any of us desired. It has kind of a burning effect upon a person's throat. We put
our masks on immediately and so did
not get enough to do us any halrm.
From there we went to the tear gas
department which, as you know, effects the eyes,only, that being enough.
After we were inside they had us remove masks for 40 seconds. After
we had them off for about fifteen seconds our eyes started to run, and after the 40 seconds were up and we
wrere told to leave the building, everybody left, laughing at the mouth
and crying at the eyes. They said
that if we had been in the presence
"' of tear gas for but a few minutes it
would have used up our eyesight.
Believe my gas mask is going to be
my dearest friend  when I get  over
seas.
Our time here is very limited, and
we are getting anxious to keep on the
go. We will be glad when able to
sing the good old song, "Pack up
your troubles in your old kit bag and
smile, smile, smile." for we will
never feel that we are doing our
ALL for Uncle Sam until we are
amons-st our dear soldier boys "over
there." You, as well as us, can sure
feel prcud of all Michigan boys, for
they are all real Americans.
Must say good-bye to old Michigan
and the dear friends of Saline, until
we again return with the Kaiser licked and the whole world free for Democracy.
Best regards to old Saline.

IX APPRECIATION
Upon lea\ing Saline and vicinity,
in view oif the fact that we came
here nine years ago total strangers
and with barely more than a hoe
with which to get a. start in life, we
feel it is quite proper, inasmuch as
it is impossible for us to visit each
one and personally state our feelings,
to in this manner express our gratitude to those who so cheerfully and
considerately ass'sted us in our
early struggles. We are firm in the
conviction that, no.one can help getting along nicely in a community
made up of such admirable people.
It is with a feeling of since-, e regret
we feel impelled to leave for other
fields of endeavor. Again we thank
you.

H. E. Spross, inspector of the Michigan Crop Improvement association,
has been in Washtenaw^county this
week and in conference' with County
Agent H. S. Osier in regard to pedigreed seed wheat of the Red Rock
variety, which is the kind of wheat
the asociation is endeavoring to have
the formers of this vicinity grow
more generally.
The inspector found only one field
of wheat in the county which could
pass inspection and be ceitified as
pedigreed seed, and that field wras
grown by C. D. Finkbeiner, southwest
of Saline. This field, Mr. Spross said,
was one of the highest grade fields of
,.edigreed Red Rock wheat in the
state. While the inspector was in the
county this wheat was practically all
sold and shipped away. Some of it
went to the experiment station in
connection with the Massachusetts
Agr;cult-.iral college at Amherst,
tome to the Pennsylvania State College of Agriculture, and some to the
Kansas Sta e College of Agriculture.
This will give Michigan a good reputation for seed wheat, and the farm-
^ s must grow some good stock to
live up to it. Other lots of this wheat
went to various parts of Michigan
and the country.—Ann Arbor Times

We should bear in mind, that Jesus
expects every one of His followers to
bear witness for Him. some act, some
word, in tone and inflection, some expression in character and life, that
will give people an impression of His
indwelling presence.
Two of our young men were home
foi- the Sabbath. They were Lloyd
Fai bank and Arthur Mason. We
were glad to welcome them. The
uniform is very becoming to them
and they have the spirit and enthusiasm of true soldiers.
May God bless and keep all our
boys -and the home fires burn with a
cheerful welcome when they return
Every one had a good time at the
picnic, the older ones had a good
visit, the ho&pitu'ity was free and
abundant, the children amused themselves on the swings, and plenty of
e.\eiteme..t was affo ded those looking for a thrilling incident, when a
lad unceremoniously sat down in a
pond of water. Oh yes, we, did have
the time of our lives, and the occasion will long be remembered.
Our village had a unique experience Saturday evening when soldiers
in arms walked our streets. This is
not the first time, for tradition says,
Anthony Wayne led his troops to Sa-
lnie to procure salt. This last visitation however, was to salt down the
fellow who failed to carry his registration card.
We are informed that one in every
seven of the population of England is
in the war; one in every ten of the
people of Wales; Scotland one in
seven; Ireland one in every 26, and
overseas dominions one in every 15.
The Sammies are doing wonders on
the battle line, but according to the
above estimates we will have to wake
up -and get on the job, and sweep the
Kaiser and his lawless gang from the
face of the earth.

A SSISTANT Secretary of Agriculture Carl
**■ Vrooman says that a billion dollars worth
of stable manure is wasted annually in the Unite3
States. In the face of the urgent need for bigger
crops, such waste as this is a national tragedy. That
manure properly used will put us beyond fear of any
crop shortage except one that might be made by bad •
weather. And what is better, the bigger crop could beproduced
without the addition of another acre, another man, or another
torse power, if every farmer would decide to waste no stable
manure this year but buy and use a
