THE REC
NAISSANCE
WEEKLY MENUS OF
HEADQUARTERS CO.
133R0 FIELD ARTILLERY
The following menus were prepared
for the Reconnaissance by a member
of the staff. He kept his mission a
dead secret and took a list of the eats
as they were served each day. In-
cidentally he is now in the nut ward
base hospital, and mail addressed to
him there will be properly attended
to.
Monday.
Breakfast: Sliced grape fruit with
grape juice, a La Marston; oat meal,
grape nuts, corn flakes, with pure
cream; poached eggs on toast with
Swift’s Premium bacon; pineapple
tarts, with coffee or milk.
Luncheon: Lobster consomme a la
Grewe; veal cutlets with cream gravy;
fruit salad on lettuce hearts; choco-
late cream with plain cake; olives,
pickles and celery; tea, milk or coffee.
Dinner: Oyster cocktail, a la
O’Hare; tomato bouilon with cheese
straws; roast young turkey, cranberry
sauce; oyster dressing, with sage; let-
tuce salad, thousand island dressing;
creamed peas, asparagus on toast;
mince pie with cheese; olives, pickles
and celery, cafe noir, mints.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday practically on
the same order as.to quality, but en-
tirely different each day.
At this juncture the man keeping
the list and turning it in to the Recon-
naissance each day was seized with
some kind of malady and had to be
carted away to the base hospital in the
dead hours of the night. This menu
for the last day was prepared by a
reporter for the Reconnaissance who
| was assigned after the other one liad
been stricken.
His follows:
Sunday.
Breakfast—Sour belly, grease gravy,
oat meal, chalk milk, sliced bread,
T. C. (Thin coffee is meant by T. C.)
Dinner — Roast ox, burnt sugar
gravy, shelled corn hominy, dried
apples, sliced bread, T. C.
Supper—Ox goulash with macaroni,
potatoes with hides on, corn starch
with something sweet in it, sliced
bread, running water.
WOOL HAT CORDS
MAY BE TABOOED SOON
The wearing of wool hat cords by
enlisted men is to be prohibited in
the near future. This order, while not
yet out, has been vouched for by sev-
eral officials who are in a position to
know. Mrs. Blank of the Sleepy Hol-
low Knitting Club has this to say in
defense of the move.
“The wool supply of the country is
growing low and the large amount
used in the manufacture of hat cords
for the soldiers is rapidly boosting
the price, making it almost impossible
for the ladies of the various knitting
clubs of the country to continue work.
A cotton hat cord will serve the sol-
lier just as well as it is worn for orna-
nental purposes and not for protec-
tion from the cold, rainy weather.
The wool saved can be used, by the
adies in knitting sweaters and sox
lor the soldiers.”
It is understood by the soldiers of
Camp Bowie that enlisted men al-
ready having in their nossessiop wool
hat cords will be allowed to wear
them until further orders. Rumor has
it that they are going to do away with
them entirely, as the dye used in col-
oring them is very valuable and is in
great demand by the artists of the
nation who are painting Liberty
Bond posters.

HOW TO “CLEAN” THE DUTCH.
(By Corp. E. N. Young.)
G. Adair is a solemn guy
That follered off Battery “C”;
For some dern reason, I don’t know
why—
And neither, I think, does he.
He claims he is a man of peace
Who don’t believe in strife;
Ner war, ner anything at all
That mars the peaceful life.
He says he’d like to go sometime
And lecture at the Hague,
About the fallacy of war
And every other plague.
He says they ain’t no use to fight—
That Bryan’s got the dope;
And that the way to clean the “Dutch”
Is just by usin’ soap.

NOTES FROM HOG MOUNTAIN
SCHOOL HOUSE.
(By Special Correspondent.)
The people of this community are
in the best of spirits this fall. Crops
are just about all in.
Pope Easely moped over to Peace-
ful Valley with Miss Belle Gore last
Saturday night a week ago, to the
candy pulling.*” He said everybody had
a enjoyable time but he can whip the
person or parties that brought Han-
son’s barber pole and put it in the
parlor. He lost three teeth trying to
bite a hunk out’n it.
Steve Brown has been laid up the
last week from a serious accident last
Tuesday a week ago as he was pick-
ing in the east forty his right knee
pad slipped off and he got some sand-
burrs in his leg. Doc Thorndale, the
veterinary, says he will be all right
soon, if inflammatory rheumatism or
some other complication don’t sit in.
Hank Lacy visited the city last Sat-
urday and took in seven pounds of
butter and two and one-half dozen tur-
key eggs.
Bert Denson was united in the Holey
Bonds of Matrimony with Jennie Ash-
born last Thursday.
Joahn Heckox won the whittling
contest last Friday night at Log Cab
ins Corner. The people of this com-
munity are willing to back him for as
much as a dollar and six bits against
all comers any time.
Phil Towers bought a new buggy a
few days ago and him and the future
Mrs. Towers was seen out driving last
Sunday behind Phil’s grey mare.
Sandy Steward went to the city last
Thanksgiving day. He took five dol-
lars with him and ©nly brought back
four dollars and sixty cents. He says
he sure cut loose and by the time he
had had three red soda pops he didn’t
care for anything or anybody.
Chick Conrad has become quite a
poet lately. He says love is sweet
but oh so bitter. We are wondering
what the “SHE” is thinking.
Grandpa Mugford has been confined
to his bed since last Sunday a week
ago as some low lifed cur stole his
laprobe at meeting and he took his
death of cold.
Maggie Brown and the girls of her
Sunday school class are knitting socks
for the soldiers.
The draft took Ross Knight from
our midst last week. That makes the
third man, if you can call him a man,
this community has lost. But one
good thing, if he can fight the Ger-
mans like he can moonshine, the war
will soon be over.
There will he a box supper at Hog
Mountain School House the coming
Saturday night. Come one, come all.

They walked along a country road
Beneath the silvery stars.
At the gate he gallantly
Let down all the bars.
She did not thank him—
Indeed, she knew not how,
For he was just a farmer lad,
And she—a Jersey cow.
