From “Cheese” Conklin.
Camp Funston,' Sept. 16, 1917.
Dear Mother, Father and Sister:
No doubt you will wonder what has
become of me, but I havn’t had much
time to write for we' have been very
busy drilling and cleaning our quar
ters.
We have to work hard, but we are
well fed and have a very nice bunch
of officers. I meet fellows every day
that I know or know somebody they
do. There are thousands of soldiers
here and thirteen thousand workmen.
Carpenters get $7.15 per day and
$13.50 *for Sundays. Our barracks is
right next to the post exchange store
and it is a busy .place and we can buy
anything we want. The fellow that
bunks next to me and I bought a shoe
polishing outfit in partnership. We
have been given a hat, shoes, two pair
sox, two suits underwear, one shirt,
poncho, hair brush, tooth brush two
towels, one bar soap, two blankets,
cot, mattress, and a pair of blue over
alls and we will get the rest of our
uniform tomorrow.
1 was sergeant in charge of quarters
yesterday and had to put the boys to
bed at 9:45 and lights out. Two of
our fellows went on guard duty last
night and I expect to be on soon. We
have a Y. M. C. A. and a free picture
show. We are not allowed to leave
the camp yet. We came from Lincoln
on' a speical train of twelve cars and
it sure was a noisy bunch and when
we arrived we were lined up and given
two sandwitches' and a cup of coffee,
then were examined and vaccinated for
typhoid and small pox.
I saw Anna O’Donnell at the Lincoln
station and she gave me a large box
of good things to eat. How is Jean?
Send me the home papers. I must
close now for I must do some washing
and study the general orders of a
sentional They are both hard enough.
With Love,
Cecil W. Conklin.

LOCAL MATTERS.
L. E. Skidmore, of Ewing, was look
ing after business in this city last
Monday.
George McGoff, of Royal, was in
the city for a few hours last Monday,
visiting old time friends.
Mr. and Mrs. C. F. McKenna re
turned this morning from an ex
tended wedding trip to the Black Hills.
Do not fail to attend the enter
tainment given at the opera house
next Saturday evening for the Holt
county boys who are called to the
front.
George Gaughenbaugh, proprietor of
the O’Neill Roller Mills, is feeling
pretty good these days, as bread made
from his flour received first and sec
ond premiums at the Holt County
fair.
A splendid rain visited this county
last Monday afternoon and night, put
ting the ground in splendid shape for
fall seeding. The rain extended only
about five miles east of this city, but
was west clear to the state line. The
precipitation here amounted to one
inch.
Last Saturday C. W. Campbell sold
his barber shop to A. V. Plummer, who
formerly conducted a moving picture
show in the K. C. Hall, taking pos
session immediately. Mr. Campbell is
spending this week on his ranch in
Swan township putting up hay and
says that he thinks he will return to
the ranch and live the simple life
hereafter.
Last week T. T. Waid sold his farm
east of this city to Edward Leach,
brother of E. M. Leach, who resides
on the old Thompson farm. The price
paid for the 120. acres was $8,000, or
$66.66 per acre. Mr. Waid bought
this farm eight years ago, paying
$3,100 for it, so that the advance in
t
the price of the land netted hyn $4,
9G0. Mr. Waid will spend the winter
in California and after his return may
conclude to make his home in the
south. Mr. Waid has been a resident
of this county about fifteen years and
has owned four different farms in that
length of time and5has made about
$1,000 a year on the increase of his
land, besides receiving a handsome in
come therefrom. He is well satisfied
with old Holt but says that as he
is getting too old to farm he may con
clude to go where the winters are
warmer and take things easy the
balance of his days.
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy.
This is a medicine that every family
should be provided with. Colic and
diarrhoea often comes on suddenly and
it is of the greatest importance that
they be treated promptly. Consider
the suffering that must be endured
until a physician arrives or medicine
can be obtained. Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy has a
reputation second to none for the
quick relief which it affbtds. Obtain
