COOK SERGEANT HAS FUN
TEACHING ARMY OFFICERS

i v- * i_£_
Lieutenants Guy S. Melro.v, Jr., left, and Richard Wheeler, right,
getting a few pointers from Sergeant H. L. Stanley.
By KEEN RAFFERTY
FORT LEONARD WOOD, Md..
March 28.—“That may be so,” said
the lieutenant, with dignity., ‘It
may, as you say, sergeant, be bet
ter so far as popular taste goes, to
use three eggs to each gallon of
milk. But as for myself, sir, I shall
stick to my guns, sir, and shall in
sist that TWO eggs, sir, is the
proper proportion, sir.”
—Or something to that effect.
The lieutenant stood there and
glowered at the sergant, who hum
bly turned back to his onion-peel
ing. The lieutenant threw anoth
er pint of pepper into the goulash
and turned up a fire under a soft
custard.
From another quarter of the
camp came faintly the strains of
song:
“You’re in the ar-r-r-my now—”
“And what is more,” said the
lieutenant, “if you don’t baste the
roast we’ll have cinders and no
gravy for grub.” And he added, as
an afterthought: “CIR.” .
Across the way the song rose
higher on the cold evening air:
“You're in the ar-r-r-my now,
You’re not behind the plow.
You’ll never get kraut
Or lamb ragout;
You’re in the army now.
“Yiu’re in the ar-r-r-my now;
The Louie's cook—and how!
You’ll never get stout
Until you get out;
You’re in the ormy now.”
Shipments Again
Over the 300-Car
Mark Wednesday
Valley loadings Wednesday again
went over the 300-car mark, with
301 cars reported out by the two
railroads, 21 cars under the peak
attained Tuesday.
A new season record for potatoes
was attained with 42 cars loaded,
and cabbage totaled 118 cars.
The cabbage price was still hold
ing around $6 per ton to the grow
ers, with shippers taking a very
pessimistic view of the situation,
and predicting that no increase
could be expected until the move
ment is reduced.
Potatoes were holding around
$2.25 per 100 pounds Thursday
morning, and shippers expected no
further break in the market, al
though the movement from the
Valley has been extremely heavy
for this season.
Loadings Wednesday included 40
cars of mixed vegetables, 7 beets.
45 carrots. 14 beets and carrots. 118
cabbage, 11 onions, 42 potatoes, 1
parsley, 1 anise, 6 string beans, 16
grapefruit. The movement to date
is 14,109 cars as compared with 13,
179 to the same date last year.
Experts Completing
Foundation Work of
Reparations Scheme
PARIS. March 28.—OP)—Before
adjourning for a seven-day Easter
holiday, the reparations experts to
day completed the foundation of
their reparation scheme and will be
ready to talk figures when they
get back to work next Thursday.
Today’s plenary session at which
the various delegations each pre
sented their own ideas of what
should constitute a basis for a dis
cussion looking toward the fixing
of exact figures was described as
one of the most important single
sessions yet held.
It was proposed that the va
rious suggestions and observations
offered be reduced to writing for
the delegates to read during the
Easter holiday._
Napoleon said an army fights on
its stomach, and the United States
war department believes in Napo
leon.
So the war department has or
dered every officer below the rank
of major to learn how to cook, and
| here at Fort Leonard Wood, near
Ealtimore. 14 such officers are
taking a three-month course in the
kitchen.
And that's why the army i s so
pessimistic about the possibilities
of picking up any avoirdupois in
Uncle Sam’s service.

CREAGER LAUDS
HOOVER’S STAND
Texas to Become Two-Party
State As Result of His
Statement Is Belief
40
-.. ' "
Texas will become a “two party
state” with the democrats and re
publicans contesting strongly for
control as the result of President
Hoover’s stand on patronage in
Texas and because of his pro
nouncement on leadership in the
belief of R. B. Creager of Browns
ville, republican national commit
teeman.
Mr. Creager has issued the follow
ing statement to the press:
“In the light of recent efforts on
the part of ignorant and prejudiced
individuals to reflect upon the re
publican organization in Texas, the
president’s unqualified expression
of his confidence in the republican
leadership in this state is gratify
ing. This statement from Mr. |
Hoover will greatly help to wipe out
the remnants of narrow partisan
ship and sectional prejudice in the
South. It is frank and courageous
and is bound to appeal to the right
thinking men and women of the
South, irrespective of their former
party affiliations.
“With reference to federal ap
pointments and to our policies gen
! erally, we have been inviting and
we shall continue to seek the ad
vice and cooperation of leading men
| and women among the independent
j democrats as well as leading re
publicans who are not members of
our official organization. It is a
part of our plan to invite a number
of outstanding citizens from the
groups named to act with us as an
advisory committe and to. so far as
practicable, enlist the aid of re
sponsible public bodies, such as
chambers of commerce.
“For eight years, I have devoted
a large part of my time to the ef
fort to bring about the two-party

to see Texas an overwhelmingly re
