G. TURNURE & "Scotty" Gives a Patriotic Address On Monday afternoon the 355th regiment inarched about fourtniles northwest of the barracks, where Ave drilled at extended order and skirmish lines and then came in early. Tuesday we received another over shirt, which was appreciated very much by us as we had worn our first shirt for several weeks. Wednesday, as it was Liberty Bond day, we had a holiday and the day was spent in ath letics, etc., at the football gridiron, northwest of the camp. In the morn ing foot races, relay races and 100, 200 and 300-yard dashes and a one mile foot race were engaged in. In the afternoon a Unco mile foot race and several other foot races were run, followed by a sourccr game, and then General Woods appeared before the crowd and gave a patriotic speech. Then a football game was played. One thing that should be of interest to everybody in Webster county was the address by Guy Scott, who gave a very good talk on patriotism and liberty bonds before the camp as noon. The applause was groat and every body gave three cheers for "Scotty." The Artillery band furnished the mu sic for the day and they aie very good musicians. On Thursday afternoon it rained and we stayed in our barracks and listened to lectures by the Captain and Lieutenants. Saturday morning we had battalion inspection and then were off for the balance of the day. Our regimental band had been oiganized and is now giving concerts. We h.ave one of the best bands in the camp. On Saturday afternoon we received our new uni forms and the boys look now like real soldiers. In the afternoon our foot ball team played its first game of the season with Company L. ' The game was hard fought from start to finish and the latter team made a touchdown and kicked goal the last few minutes of the last quarter, thus carrying on" the honors of the day. One thing that I nearly forgot which is of a great deal of importance to us, the steam heat has been turned on in the barracks, and it is now very comfortable. On Saturday our hours were changed and wo don't have to arise until 0:15 a. m. and now go to bed at 10:30 p. m. Lieutenant Dennis of our company, who took a train load of soldiers to Camp Cody, Doming, New Mexico, last Sunday, returned home today. Ho told somo of our company that Camp Funston is a paradise compared to Camp Cody. About twenty of our men were transferred Saturday and will bo shipped to Camp Pike, Ar kansas. A. D. McArthur. Two Red Cloud Men Dine with UnclejSam's Soldiers Messrs. J. A. McArthur and Ed Amnck of this city and Anson Gough of Salinu, Kas7, weic over Sunday) guests of the former's son, Kditor A. ' IJ. McAitliur at Camp Funston. The1 trip was made in Mr. Amack's car leaving hero Saturday morning, and reaching Salina that evening. They spent the night at the homo of Mr. Gough, a brother-in-law of Mr. Amack. They left that place Sunday morning accompanied by Mr. Gough, und' reached the camp at ten a. m. They entered the camp over the Gold en Holt highway from Junction City. They were met at the entrance gate' by a timid and questioned as to' whethel or not they intended stopping' at the iamp or going through. On ' learning that their destination was Camp Funston, the guard instructed them to proceed to headquarters and secure n pass before attempting to' "take in the sights." These instruc-! lions wpio complied with. They then' drove to the barracks in which "ye1 editor" is qunitercd and found him, hale, hcaity and happy. Several other Webster county boys were also located there. We aie very sorry to report that Mr. Ellison is on the sick list. During the lime spent in camp they wore' afforded the opportunity of hav ing "mess" with the soldiers. Tho editor Informed his superior officer that .jijr would , have, "visitors""" for dinner and was instructed to secure a mess kit for. each of them. The kit is an oval shaped dish, with cover, with an attachment which serves as a handle when open and is used to secure the cover when closed. In this dish is found a knife, fork, spoon and cup. After securing theso "tools" they marched to tTuj mess de partment where a waiter placed the food in the containers. Then they continue their march until a table is reached, whore tho meal is eaten. These tables are not covered with fine linen, such as found in the homes of tho soldiers, but this does not seem to interfere in any way with their ap petite. The visitors stated that tho food is well cooked and that Uncle Sam is in no way stingy with it as every man is entitled to as much food as ho desires. After "mess" each man is required to wash his own dishes (no exception being made for visitors). They are then placed in a box like compartment underneath their bunk. In this box is also found tobacco, writing mater ial and other personal effects of each soldier. No locks arc used, and if any light-fingered gent is found "medd ling" ho finds himself in bad with his superiors and is punished severely for the offense. 220 men are quartered in thebarrack occupied by the editor, each man having his own bed. Every thing in the camp is in a perfect san itary condition, and every man is com pelled to keep his department this way as inspection is made at stated periods. The Union Pacific railroad passes through the camp, lias a passenger station and many supply depots with in its limits, hundreds of huge auto trucke being used to distribute sup plies to the various parts of tho camp A street car line also passes through tho "city" which affords an opportun ity for those who have no cars to visit the camp. As every one knows, Mr. Amack is a careful driver, nevertheless he had his own troubles in tho.camp. Somo inexperienced driver of a Ford col lided with him, le&ulting in a dam aged fcndler. Mr. Amack wishes to offer a little advico to thoso intending visiting tho camp. Ho suggests that thoy place their car in a garage at Junction city and take tho Btrgct car to tho camp. It stops within a few feet of tho headquarters where passes nro issued. By doing this visitors will avoid much worry and perhaps a dam aged car. While there ho saw several cars damaged. Mr. McArthur informs us that his son and all the other boys aro in tho best of health and appear to bo con- To Accomplish Good Work.
