We are a separate organisation
from Major General Leonard Wood's
89th Division in Funston proper, and
gat our orders direct from Washing
ton Instead of from Major-General
Wood.
The work of this remount depot, as
I understund It, will be to receive
the cavalry, artillery, pack, and sup
ply train mules and horses that the
government buys at local places like
Alliance and keep this stock until It
Is Issued out to the cavalry, artillery,
supply trains, etc., of the 89th Divi
sion at Camp Funstion. After the
89th Division gets their ten or fifteen
thousand head issued to them, we
may ship stock direct to Europe.
This remount will also probably
keep all the army divisions trained
at Camp Funston supplied with
horses after these divisions get to
France.
A question I suppose in every
body's mind is "Will they have a
chance to go to France?" Our chance
of going across in the remount is fair,
but far less tl.an that of in infantry
man or artillery inn. One good thing
about this branch Is that we can
transfer to any unit we prefer to go
over to Franch in when we get tired
of this place. On the other hand, a
transfer from the infantry or artil
lery to this branch is quite difficult.
With the corrals and hospitals full
of stock, a wagon company of sixty
army wagons and mule teams doing
freighting and feeding, a horse-shoeing
school soon to coiumenco, officers'
mounts to break, vaccinating, dip
ping, etc., there are a goodly variety
of Jobs offered here to the drafted
man.
Our grub is bettter and of a larger
variety than the average medium
priced restaurants. "Pass the butter
down this way, please," has already
died a natural death as a mess hall
Joke and now the follows eat 'heir
bread straight as a matter of course.
This week we turned back our
mess kits and are now eating off
china dishes. From now on we won't
have to stand out in line on a cold
morning and waB our 230 mess kits
in three five-gallon palls of luke-
warm water. An extra branch of
the K. P.'s (kitchen police) known
as "pearl divers" are now doing this
work for the entire company.
All the last quota of Box Butte
men are in the remount except Thos.
Gahagen, who transferred to the
clothing department of the 89th
Division.
Fred Marsh is skinning mules in
the wagon company. The other night
Fred came in from work und threw
his hat and coat on the bunk. After
real sober reflection, while he rolled
a cigarette, he said: By George, fel
lows, I kinda like it here. I have a
notion to stay ail winter."
BUI Freshla also drives a span of
O. D. mules, while the other fellows
do the work. Remount regulations
are that when a man risks his life
handling two or four Missouri mules
he should be required to do no phys
ical labor.
The boys of the wagon company
are naming their "hard tails" after
their intimate friends. Several scraps
have narrowly been avoided when a
soldier, hearing his name used in
vain and heing subject to all the
abuse in a skinner's vocabulary, be

later it was merely some unfortunate
driver trying to get two balky Mis
souri donkies up a steep grade with a
load of oats.
Bill Walker, of Hemingford, never
holds the same Job over one day.
Bill is hurd to pleuse and firmly be
lieves that variety iB the spice of a
reekeys' life. He will probably ulti
mately stop in the medical corps here
as a drug dispenser.
As for myself, I fall in Bill Walker's
class. I've done about everything
round camp from scrubbing out the
guard house to cheming mules' ears
on the vaccinating chute.
Frank Kriz of Hemingford Is get
ting along fine. At Inspection of
quarters every Saturday we are sup
posed to have everything spick and
span and home-like and stand at the
foot of our bunks during the process
without batting our eyos. Well,
Frank put on a little too much style
the last time by smoking a ten-cent
cigar during the proceedings. "By
gillies, I sure got a hella bawlin'
down dls mornin', didn't I?' 'is the
way Kriz describes what happened.
Donald Graham has also tried
about all the Jobs in camp. I guess
Don is in the war to see she whole
show. At present he is wrangling
horses in the horse and mule detail.
C. Hovelic is our popular chief
bugler and star musician of the re
mount camp. He looks like a reg
ular soldier now since the officers
gave him a mount to ride around.
He is leader of the remount twelve
piece orchestra and Is now organis
ing a local band.
The western Nebraska boys soon
expect to be having their stag square
dances to band music instead of the
Improvised four-piece piano, fiddle,
banjo anu French-harp orchestra of
the first two weeks.
The boys in our barracks bought
a phonograph and a stock of records,
but only two records are played
steadily every day. One is a popular
song, "The Oirl I Lft Behind, and
the other is, "It's Been a Long, Long
Time Since I've Been Home."
But none of the boys are homesick.
As long as the war lasts they figure
they're better satisfied in service
than they would be out of it. And
we all believe we are in the best
branch of service in all Camp Funs
ton, with Fort Riley thrown in.
Sincerely,
MILTON J. KEEGAN.

Leading live stock commission
firms, those that advertise in The
Herald, furnish reliable market In
formation regularly to their custom
ers and others who wish it, and upon
request give special service by wire.
Some of these firms get out regular
weekly market letters that for con
cise and reliable information cannot
be excelled.
It takes a lot of work and heavy
expense to furnish this service to
large numbers of persons, as they
do, but it's as free as the wind that
blows. If there Is anybody on earth
that likes to serve his customers
faithfully, and to a considerable ex
tent free of charge. It is the typical
live stock commission man. The
Herald recommends to stockmen who
are not receiving information regu
larly from South Omaha, the great
live stock market of Nebraska and
the west, that they write to one or
more of the commission firms adver
tising in this paper and request it.
