Problems of interest to the various groups were discussed and conclusions reached that should help to lift the CCC in thi3 district to a higher degree of efficiency. It is reported that an endeavor is to be made to hold these meetings every month. Though some problems in the camps are of an entirely different nature than the others, there are a great number which are similiar and a group solution of problems with all contributing should be very valuable, 0 ts c C c Billiard Tournament Fifty billiard champs! Yep, that is the number that we have in this camp. Each man has considered himself to be the best of the group and has been very willing to tell of his ability to all and sundry who would lend an ear. John Prince who seems to be adept at anything there is to do has had more time to tell of his ability than anyone else, so at the present time seems to have the inside track, but then who is to decide ? 0 The matter was placed before Whitlock who is always willing to listen to the conversation of any worthy enrollee, but even he was unable to pass down a decision as to the best player from ab-- a mere description by each of his own ability. in War Department records state tah very specifically that there is not to be fifty champs, nor ten, nor Mr. you v 0.00 Our :otal TOBACCOS arg- - tition.

Inspection Last Friday, Feb. 14, Captain Nate, Assistant District Inspector from Fort Douglas, Utah, was In camp to give us our monthly inspection. He had a very hard time getting to us up here in Little America, but after hard driving and bucking many snow drifts he arrived. The inspection seemed to be a favorable one and .every one seemed to be in high spirits ovar it. We hope that you enjoyed your Visit with us Captain Nate, and we welcome you back attuiy time, c C c Iloopsters Return From Price A more experienced and much wiser crew of CCC boys than here- tofore arrived back in camp Sunday. The boys seemed satisfied with their showing altho they dropped two games, and every one was unanimous in their deep respect for the Cardox Giants. To say the least, the 'boys spent a very enjoyable week end. Friday night, the Yellowstone aspirants bumped into the Cardox Giants and all they had to face was George Young an all conference man from the Utah Aggies and a veteran group of The score demonstrated that the CCC boys have a lot to learn. The boys have had no practice in between games and were without the services of Nelson their stellar guard. According to Captain John Prince, the Yellowstone aggregation, was taught a lesson in ball handling that should be a material benefit to them in future compe- procured some from 'the farmer.

Having laughed off the defeats and stowed away their adventures the Yellowstone courtiers anxiously await a coming vital engagement with Bridgeland. vamp-edfiv- 37-2- 7. -- On Sunday night the Mayor was coming home from Duchesne and the car he was riding in did not have chains and consequently it required quite a bit of pushing, in fact it required a lot of pushing, due to the fact that there was quite a bit of snow on the road. Mayor seemed to be quite happy about it all and the work seamed to be just a lot of fun for him. It seems that the Mayor had taken a "sifta or two before starting out and it helped immensily. He would push the car up one hill and when it would get going good he would hold on and run with the car. Then he would let go and usually he would fall into a snow bank at the side of the road; this great Sport continued for some time but all at once the Mayor misjudged and fell on the road. It did considerable damage to his school-gicomplexion and for quite some time it made his usual sunny disposition rather sour. Finally after much pushing and falling in snow banks our esteemed Mayor arrived in camp at a rathe;- - late hour in the morning, very worn and tired. Ha immediately took to his bed and was not seen again until a very late hour in the afternoon, at which time a cup of black coffee and coupla of aspirins somewhat revived his spirits. Mayor, may I suggest that after this when you decide to pay a visit to the fair city that you pick more ideal weather conditions than those that existed at the time of tha last one. Oh 'tis a cruel world but today we must drink, play, and make merry, for tomorrow we may die. rl c C c th delivered by regular haulers will be CREAM given the same prompt handling as deliveries made in person.
