Our mess sergeant, Joplin C. Hord, may be soon daily emerging from the garden laden down with corn, cucumbers, lettuce, carrots, squash, tomatoes, cabbage, beets and other articles of the garden patch. We are fortunate in receiving the surplus garden stuff from all the officers' gardens. So you see that we have plenty to cat. Pfc. Max O. Richter, our genial first cook, aided by Pfc. Joseph H. Pruitt, as second hand, prepare the food in first class style.
