Camp Bowie Quarantined
A dispatch in yesterday’s
paper stated that Camp Bowie
had been quarantined on ac-
count of fourteen cases of men-
ingitis which have developed
there. There is no aceasion to
worry very much, however, as
the hoys have the ln*st medical
care and the physicians will
doubtless stop it where it is Ik
fore other soldiers are stricken
with it.
The local board is preparing
to classify the registrants of
the county iri aecordanee with
the schedule as printed in this
paper last week. Blanks have
been received for this purpose
and every hoard in the United
Stuteu will have a similar job.
Do your Christmas shopping
before the first of the year.
Owing to so many entertuin-
-*nts on Thanksgiving the
led Cross Fair has been post*
■ot.ed until December 14th.
