MUSTER In GUARD
AT CAMP ORDWAY
Two Batteries Are Passed to Doc
tors for Physical Examination.

Batteries A and B. of the Dis
trict National Guard. were mustered
into Federal service at Camp Ord
way, Florida avenue and Fourth
street. yesterday morning at o'clock.
by Major A c. Thompson, Coast Ar
tiIIery Corps. U. s. A, who was as
sisted by members Of his staff. The
muster Of the artillerists completed
the process as the cavalry and other
units had been sworn in the first day.
The ceremony was an impressive
picture. The batteries, 40 strong.
each was formed in line by their off,
GERS, in columns. Each man answered
10 his name at roll call and stepped
two PAGES to the front. Upon being
identified he was passed, subject to
physical examination.
About fifty per cent of the men
have been examined physically. and
these tests will be continued today.
About 100 men at the camp, new re-
cruits, have not yet been issued uni
forms, while there Is a small per-
csntage which only have parts Of
uniforms.
May Take Horses Away.
District cavalrymen are threatened
with serious loss of face" in the
eyes of the members Of other units
at the camp, to whom they have boast
ed the glories Of riding, booted and
spurred," while the "Doughboys
waded through the mud. unless the
War Department recedes from its posi-
ton that all National Guard cavalry
are TO be trained dismounted. As
Il Is now, the cavalry squadron has
one horse for each three troopers. 1t
would appear most unmilitary for the
troopers to ride double" so II is
more than likely. according to an an
nouncement made yesterday by the
Militia Bureau of the War Depart
ment, that the few horses they have
will be taken from them at an early
date.
Announcement was made yesterday
by the War Department that the Third
Regiment will go to the Admission
Camp. along with the cavalry. field
artillery, sanitary and hospital units.

A recruiting office will be opened
at the camp his morning. Captain
William R. Hudson, commander of
the Field Hospital Company. has
been designated as recruiting officer.
The batteries each need fifty men.

with several other Members of the

necessarily so, but l feel that owe
it to my people to obtain even at
much cost of time and money to my
self and even at great hazard, that
first hand information that will en-
able me to report conditions as they
are; mothers, wives and sweethearts,
"Who have laid their loves" upon the
altar of their Nations honor want to
know these conditions.
Those who are contributing to the
colossal cost which we are obligating
ourselves to meet, will pay, with far
greater patriotic fervor when they
have knowledge that the great sums
expended are bringing greater protec-
ton to our boys fighting our battles,
in their provision for that which is
best in equipment and most effective
fighting force; that their life in camp
is as conducive to their comfort and
as free from everything that con-
teammates and lessons their effective
ness as is possible under war condi-
tiOns.
shall study these conditions in
the most careful way and by the in
formation gained, hope to be able to
perform my duties as the representa-
tive Of truly patriotic people in
more enlightened manner by reason
of this information.

WHY FOOD CONTROL is
NECESSARY AT PRESENT

Any attempt at Food Control in thi
great prosperous land of plenty is ar
innovation. Nationally we have new
or experienced crisis in our food sup
ply. Because it has not been given
any thought since the early colonial
day more than two centuries ago, the
necessity for food control is not now
appreciated by our people. 1t is SO
difficult for US to realize that nation
al scarcity Of food might possible ex.
sist. For this reason it is proper to
consider the causes that have made il
necessary for our nation to take con-
troll of our wheat supply
The world is at war 1t is the
greatest war of all time. The task
of feeding the armies is Herculean
1t is big problem not only because OF
the monstrous armies to be fed but
also because of the great distances the
food must be transported and the diff.
culties that surround its transport
alton. Although this task would be
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1917-10-11

of necessity be acute. We're specu-
lators permitted to manipulate our
supply in such way that they could
extort from our public unnecessary
and unconscionable margins, such
serious uprisinggs would result in our
large consuming centers as would
materially interfere with our peace
at home and our successful conduct Of
the war These uprisings would be
serious because they would result not
alone from the high prices but from
the unjust extortion connected with
those high prices.
AS war measure-as war neces-
sity- our government must control the
distribution and the price of our
wheat in order that our country may
be sure of its supply for the arm at
the front at all times, and in order
that disaster may be prevented at
home which would surely result from
ruinous speculation and heartless ex-
tortion.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1917-10-11

big one for the entire world, condi-
tions are such just now that almost
the entire burden is placed on Amer
ica-on Canada and the United States.
We acquire a personal interest in feed
ing these armies when we place our
own soldiers ut the side of those al
ready on the battle front.
Nearly one third of the food neces-
sary for the armies consists of wheat.
Our exports of wheat during the past
three years have been the heaviest in
our history and our supply is now the
lowest in ten years, so our government
cannot afford to take chance on the
supply of wheat for our army. The
supply dare not be left in private con-
troll where it can be boarded in great
elevators, nor in the control of spec
ulators who can, if they SO desire, de-
moralize our army more effectively by
Withholding wheat supplies than in
any other way.
Our domestic demand for wheat will

THE LIFE OF THE SOLDIER
AT CAMP FUNSTON, KANS

Camp Funston, Kans.-When a boy
has been accustomed to lying in bed

some one wash his dishes and clothes

space around his cot and marches out

necessarily has become very much
changed boy. Even if mothers or
wives can't imagine their men doing
these things it is just what they ar.
doing down in the soldiers training
camp at Funston.
The men have entered an entirely
new life than they have ever been ac
customed to before. The average
freedom loving civilian cannot realize
what it is like until he gets into it.
The men are treated kindly but the
idea of being told just what to do and
to do it is far different than being
ones own individual boss.
A.,
Each one is the others equal in the
eyes of the officers as the men begin
work. Shortly after the men arrive in
camp they are thoroughly quizzed as
to past work, their general special
abilities and the like. 1t is generally
understood that this is the method the
government will use in selecting the
men for the different lines of services.
Each captain viii watch his men close
ly. If man shows signs of being a
good engineer he will no doubt be
placed in that department If he
shows signs of being leader of men
he will be placed in position to use that
ability. 1t is understood in Camp
Funston that the men for the next Of
ficers' training camp will be picked
from this great national army. For
the first few weeks or perhaps two
months the men will be given drill
training entirely and perhaps branch
from this into various services.
Every man starts out on the same
footing. Millionaires and poor men
eat the same food, wash their own
dishes in the same water, shave them
selves in the same bath houses and
sleep within three feet of each other.
The 'rookie's" life runs something
like this: A piercing whistle and a
command Everybody up" at 5:45 in
the morning starts the days work.

BARRY .SKEPTIC ABOUT
BEAN BALL EXISTENCE

ST. LOUIS, May S0.-Altho hit %
times last season, Jack Barry, man
ager of the Boston Americans, does
not believe in the existence of the
bean ball" He asserts he never mas
witnessed deliberate attempt by any
pitcher to hit a batsman in the head.

discussing the national baseball COM

pulsion of a pitcher found guilty OF

Barry's record of being hit 23 times
last season is one never equaled IN the
modern major leagues.

a question puzzling players, manag-
ers and umpires alike. Barry laughs
at the idea of anybody deciding the
