COLD SHOWERS
THE tree-felling mania which has begun in the town has spread to the camp. On© by one, the massive pines which used so regularly to collect the water and hurl it in gallons on our “waterproof” roofs have gone the way of all trees. The stalwart gang of lumberjacks on the job have made thorough work of the demolition, and a heap of firewood now lies mutely by the carpenter’s shop. There is wood everywhere. We even have Wood at the head. On the occasion of a recent grand parade through the city, the Mayor was asked if he wanted Headquarters Company to participate. “My God, no!” was the reply. “The public will think Wirth’s Circus has come to town!” The publishers ask us to announce the appearance of a new ■ book, “DeerStalking Made Easy,” by S/M. P. Green, author of “Wild Animals I Have'Slain,” “How To Make Friends With a Rabbit” and “Bring ’Em Back Half-Dead.” The good lady friends of the camp do splendid darning for us. In fact, when we get our socks back again they don’t look like darned socks at all.
