A REAL MAN
It is pretty hard to assert your independence
and defy the world wherryou have an empty
stomach and an empty pocket book. 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.

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. There are
more barrack buildings here thato I
can count in one afternoon.
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.
