Dinty Moore Arrives

----------
DINTY MOORE ARRIVES
AT WHIPPLE BARRACKS

A letter was received from Dinty Moore this past week from his new home at Whipple Barracks, Ariz. He says in part: "This is a nice, clean place and a good climate. The food is just fair, but the rules are quite rigid ones. Have the Sand Storm Smile tell all my friends that Camp Cody, N. M., is if anything better than any of the hospitals that I saw in California or elsewhere." — Sand Storm Smile.

--The Deming Headlight, Deming, New Mexico, May 7, 1920, page 5.

Comment: Spelling of Whipple Barracks in the body of the original article was Whiple Barrakes. And about Dinty Moore, I wonder if he's the guy who came up with the canned stew we like.
