Local National Guard
Organization Now In
Camp Mabry, Austin
The liveliest place in Stephen-
| ville on Sunday night, July 15, was
* the National Guard Armory, boxes
J °f supplies and equipment were
being piled high on a truck, Serg-
eants were directing details and
50 boys with light hearts and smil-
ing faces were rolling their packs.
Soon all was ready and the com-
pany marched to the court house
lawn, where some slept and many
didn’t. When everyone had picked
him a place to try to sleep and had
“somewhat” settled down we look-
ed toward the south and behold the
monster from the Onyx was upon
us. “Dutchy Dawson was coming
to pick his K. P.’s for the prepar-
ation of the morning mess.”
Five-thirty was slow about com-
ing but the timle finally arrived
and after much puffing, blowing,
striving and straining the old Cot-
ton Belt pulled out with its 8000
pounds of Stephenville’s young
manhood. The pep of the boys on
the morning after the night be-
fore was somewhat lessened and
all over the coach they began to
nod and fall asleep, but the arrival
in \Vaco was a stimulus strong
enough to thoroughly, arouse all,
especially as it was then time to
eat. We stayed in Waco almost an
hour during which time the boys
drank Coca-Colas, viewed the
sights of the city, and met many
companies from other towns en
route to Camp Mabry.
The long Katy Flyer troop train
pulled out of Waco with eight com-
panies of Texas National Guards-
men, a fact which was soon herald-
ed to all the watermelon peddlers
on the way. The Katy was a fast
train and we arrived in Camp
Mabry about 4 p. m.
We were exceedingly fortunate
in securing a truck to haul our
equipment to the barracks almost
immediately after we arrived here.
When the supplies had been un-
loaded the work began, setting up
tents, carrying and stacking stove
wood, assembling the company
kitchen, cleaning and raking
around the mess shack and bar-
racks and getting our “bunks”
ready for the night which was the
most pleasant duty of all.
The first day in camp was occu-
pied almost completely in police-
ing the grounds, straightening up
the barracks and getting every-
thing fully adjusted. The schedule
for training this year is very in-
teresting and will be highly bene-
ficial physically and mentally to
everyone. The change in the code
of living is very fascinating, to
wear a uniform, to have the associ-
ation of three to four thousand
boys, to arise at reveille and exer-
cise vigorously for an hour before
breakfast, to drill with a good com-
pany and a snappy commander till
noon, to go to the Y. M. C. A. tent,
write a letter and play dominoes
in the afternoon, to pass review
while a spirited band is playing an
air that is easy to step to and l#st
to take a cool shower and hit/your
bunk. There is charm in a life like
that.
We shall enjoy the encampment
very much, especially, as the good
people of Stephenville have so
generously splicfed our mess fund
and insured us that good “chow”
will at all times be forthcoming,
and the boys who are here will re-
turn as better MEN, better CITI-
ZENS and better SOLDIERS.
Note: The above letter was
sent in by S. B .Culpepper, Jr., who
is with the company in Austin.
CARD OF THANKS FROM
GUARD BOYS AT AUSTIN
to
ELLIS MOTOR CO.
Stephenville, Texas
Are the merchants loyal to live
enterprises? is a question which is
often asked, and it can be truly
said of the merchants of Stephen-
ville that they are loyal 100%, and
we have good proof of this asser-
tion. Last Friday Company “D”
asked the merchants to open their
purses and help the eating fund of
the boys and “they poured is on
us” and were glad, very glad to do
it. The fund totaled $130.00. This
will help buy a lot of food at the
low price for which it can be
bought at the government commis-
sary at a very reasonable price.
Of the many donations that have
been asked of the business men of
Stephenville, there was never one
that was more appreciate! than
this will be, for when a man works
hard all day and has a good meal
awainting him he appreciates it
and he remembers from whence it
came. Business men of Stephen-
ville, we thank you, for your gene-
rosity and consideration for us.

WAS TOLD HE
HAD CANCER
I surely am a booster for Fer-
rasal. I suffered with a bad
stomach for the past few years.
One Doctor said I had ulcers, an-
other cancer.
While in Austin, Texas, I saw
an advertisement of Ferrasal. I
gave it a trial and it certainly
brought results. I feel 100% bet-
ter than I have for the past four
years.
Sincerely, I b«g to remain a
booster for Ferrasal.
