If your bluff is called, (lien what? The prudent man who has saved a little, who has a reserve at the bank to tide him over a month or two. isn't so afraid of sickness, nor such a coward about being out of a job. A bank account is a stimulant to real manhood. The larger the account the firmer the footing. It breeds self-confidence, is proof of efficiency and is an ever-present resource in time of - need. It's not what a man earns in a year that gives Him a surplus at the bank, it's what he saves. Webfter County Bank i Red Cloud, Nebraska Camp Funston, Kas., Sept. 8, '17. Dear Friends: I thought I would write you a few lines and let you know I am among the living. We. left Blue Springs Thursday night at 12:30 o'clock and theie were twelve coaches in our train of Nebraska boys. On account of a heavy rain which began falling when we left Nebraska, the train did not go over twelve miles an hour. We nr-( nveu at Camp runston, Kansas, Fri day morning nt about seven o'clock, after which the officers took us up and we all took a shower bath, after which we had breakfast. We were then taken over and given the physical and Bcrtillion examin ation, after which we were given our hats, shoes, underwear, bed and blan kets. Wc received our dishes to eat out of, which consist of a cup, knife, fork and plate, these arc made of alu minum. At meal time wc all go in our companies to the mess hall, where we single file up to the cooks, who dish out our food. Then wc go and sit down on long benches before tables without any table cloths and proceed to eat. We each have to wash our own dishes after mqal time. The boys rom Webster, Harlan, Nuckolls and Clay counties are in Co. G, 355 Infantry. Our officers are a fine bunch of men and they are from Colorado. On Friday afternoon we were vacci nated in both arms, the right one -for typhoid feverrand.the left for small pox. This morning we listened to lec tures by .Colpnel Taylor and several other officers and this afternoon yij are njoying ourselves.

The balance of 'the young men from Webster county, who are to come up here soon, will have no regret for coming to this place. All of the Ne braska boys' will be in the 335 in fantry. On Sunday we don't have anything to do. There is twenty-two thousand acres of land on which Ft. Riley and Camp Funston arc located. A. B. McARTHUR.
