It was agreed that the first man to doff his moustache would buy the club two cases of beer. No one gave in a hair until Hicks walked into a Columbia, S. C., barber shop for a shave.

At the big camp at Mont., pot long ago, one of Italians was being sent home an expatriation agreement. Italian buddies gave him a farewell party. The camp cook, Italian, baked a huge cake.
