Be of general interest;
Dear Sirs and Brothers—The receipt of the beautifully engraved loc
ket from my brother Odd Fellows was
certainly a most pleasant surprise. It
was delivered to me yesterday by
Brother Clyde Sheets soon after the
arrival of the Latah county boys. I
assure you I appreciate both the gift
and the brotherly love which prompted
it and which was so evident in the
happy thought of enclosing my parents' photographs. I have received
many compliments regarding it among
the men of Company D today.
The first five percent from Latah
county managed to hang together until a few days ago when Barnes was
transferred to the machine gun company, but from now on transfers are
expected thick and fast.
There are so many men in camp now
that it is almost impossible to find
any one here unless his company and
regiment are known and Latah's last
contingent is at present located about
a mile from the former one.
The canning contest promises to be
interesting, including the following
awards; Five jars of fruit, three
prizes; five jars of vegetables, three
prizes; club exhibit, fruit and vegetables, three prizes; sweepstakes on ba
sis of number of quarts of fruit and
vegetables, 30; number of varieties, 20;
profit, 20; exhibit, 10; report and story,
20; will be offered five prizes. Cann
ing demonstrations by teams of from
three to five members and the judging
of canned fruits and vegetables will be
each rewarded.
