It fell to the lot of . loenl scribe rec- ently to spend n day with the 147th Battalion, now in training nt Owen Sound and some of the experiences and impressions of the newsmper men are herewith recorded for the tmnetit of the general public which may be interested in the dnily life of the Grey County boys who ere being trained in order to put their skill and strength against Britein's foes shroud. Many people have a very dim and hay idea of the duties that devolve on the soldier lads day by day duiing their course of training. It is only when they ere on a route march or alter drill hours, that the ordinary civilian l sees the soldiers and consequently :he knows very little of the activities of the 700 men who Ire members of the 147th butt. at the present time. THE COLONEL EJTHUSIASTIU The reporter first called on Col. Me. Farland. the commanding ofBeer at the butt. at his headquarters at the Armouriee. The Uolonel was busy with a large pile of correspondence. besides answering phone messages and performing all the other duties devol- ving on him as ottieer commanding the battalion, but he received the scribe in his genial and ottlvutd manner. The Irst question asked him was, of course as to the progress of the bntulliun. "The 147th" said the Colonel" is one of the crack hat' aliens of the units now In training throughout Canada. In physique, physical condition, end in- telligence there is not a battalion in the Dominion that has anything on the Grey County Battalion. The men are the pick of Grey County’s young men. everyone of them vigorous and energetic and willing to work. Every one of them has enlisted necuuse he feels it his duty to go and all are goinw to the front with a full realisation of what their srnctntige means. When we reach the trenches Grey County will have the satisfaction of knowing that there is no finer battalion than :the 147th in Britain's forces on the firing line." Training Camp Conditions at Owen Sound. By courtesy of the Owen Sound Sun. we reproduce the following I A Day with the 147th Thus enthusiastically spoke the Col. onel of the 147th and to emphasise his words he invited the newspaper men to come with hull and visit the van- ous scenes of activitv within the big- gest military otttattiaatio" that was ever known in Grey County, IMMENSE AMOUNT OF DETAIL WORK A look into the cttice ot the adjutant Capt Kylie. gave a slight idea of fhe immense amount of detail work in connection with the hatsllion. Two orderlies were busy on typewriters. one of them making out attestation forms for a dozen or so new recruits who had just come. in and stunning for clothing and billets for them. Or- derlies rushed back and forth carrying messages to and from the ditrerent company officers. In the paymnstet’s attire, Capt. S. Burke, the batsllion's paymaster was busy Mling out and signing the men's cheques. Pay day comes twice a month and the utmost care Is taken to give every ’man every cent that is coming to him promptly. AT THE QI'ARTERM ASI‘ER'S STORES The next point of interest was the l qutu'tertuaster'is stores on Ninth St B. [ When the reporter arrived belt is com- l pany, or about Ho men were lined up ', and on inquiry, he found that the non l Were being issued with new winter caps which had just arrived the prev" l ions day. The greatest pains were taken by the quartermMter, Capt. Mo. Lachlan and his stat! to equip the men Will] caps that fitted them comfort" ly. At one end of the building I tai. lor was at work making alterations in the men‘s clothing. lf the coat sleeves or trousers are too long, or any part of the clothing does not tit. the neces. sury alterations me made free of charge. The comfort and nest sp- pearanre of the men are the fir" con- siderations. A shoemsker was ' also busy on the men's boots. Great care in titting the men with their hootsis taken for it is important that their feet should be kept in good shape. The shoemaker repairs the boots for the bare smut. of the material necessary for making the repairs. Bach man so the reporter was told will he issued soon with an extra pair ot boots. The tiuurtermaster showed the newspaper man a sample of the clothing issued to the men and the letter was Impressed with the splendid material that. is now being put into the uniforms and the csretul way they are msde. The socks shirts sud underwear issued to the men sre certsinly made with an eye to contort end durebility. TEE MEN AT WORK l, The visit to Riverside Rink at 8.15 1 when the men are "telling ia" for l morning parade wss en interesting one.

The roll of each platoon wee then celled and u soon or that war done and eech menhed wavered to " home. the otB+ in charge of eech platoon ire epected their men. The Pointe imme ted on by the emcerl were that the men muetbe shoved every morning, their hair trimmed neatly. their hit- tone polished and their boots and clothing clean. The mm who he. glects eny of these matters comes in fore severe rebuke by his officer. An interesting feature in connection with this inspection is a platoon cont- petition which been recently and will last for one month, so the reporter we: informed. At the end of that. time the platoon that ha shown itselt cleanest on parade and bent, in drill will be given a turkey supper by the ottietmr. Consequently it was! noticed that there was the keenth rivalry be- tween the platoons, each one vieing with the other in ueatnesu and profie- iency. Every time a man is Lite for parade, has dirty boots, in not min-d or in any way transgreeeing the tuili. tary regulations, his platoon loses may" eral points which will count against it in the competition. This puts It up to every man to be careful about his ap pearance and conduct. (Continued next week. , The 5th Annual Poultry and Pet Stock Exhibition was held last Week and must. he acknowledged a. fine suc- cess. Over 500 birds were entered and the Judge, Joseph Foster. Brampton, had much to any as to the excellence of many specimens. The prize list which follows will give the winners, and again it may he remarked that a more general mix-up of names and more of them would be desirable. However our poulu v fanciers have be. come so expert in selection and breed- ing, their emck so excellent. that it is difRcult for n mere amulet“ to edge in between and come within sight of a prize. The height of professionalism seems to be reached by Luxton of Mt. Forest whose numerous entries and wins are stature of the show. One wonders if there is an euuy fee. or handicap of 80m. kind to apply to professional outsiders who make a lmqineue of competing at these shows. Afternoon and evening of Thursday Miss Yates, Toronto. gave addresses of great practical value to poultry men. Every possible department of the business it seems to us was touch- ed upon t the various breeds and their qualities, winter and summer treatment, modern systems of hour ing, care of chicks. how to get winter eggs coming in for special treatment. Mr Irwin was in the chair and made a brief opening address. Director Rit- chie ins also on the plauorm and spoke of the Society's efforts and suc- 00ml. At the close of Miss Yates' ad. dresm. the audience Was asked for questions or opinions and some very practical information was elicited The honor of the ds, forthe beat male and female birds in the show went to Wm. Connor. who x-cceiVed the two coveted rosettes. The judg- ing must have been a difBcult process for to the average visitor there was a surprising uniformity of excellence, The Poultry Show does not appeal to the tom, u it should. Far too few take the trouble to go over to the hall and tho lecture should have seen at less: tour times the number out.
