GOOD PRICE-PERSONA

1t is not only the incoming buyers

mill and good grove of trees shelter
ing the buildings. The personal
property also brought good prices, of
which there was corn, hay, stock and
farm machinery.

eral possible buyers. they could not
be brought TO close a deal until they
were brought into actual contact
with others who were bidding on the

CAMP FUNSTON
JAMES G. LANG WRITES FRIEND
LY LETTER To DIR. =.
WOOLEY.

Camp Funston, Kan, Oct. 25, 1917.
Dear Friend; No doubt you will
be pleased TO hear from me. I've often
thought of you people, but as ii has
been a busy time for me since | have
been here, / just had to leave a few
things aside. Talk about amuse-
ments, we sure have them here, for
as soon as our training is over we
lads spend most of our spare mo-
ments in the Y. NJ C. A. for they
have some very good speeches there,
band concerts and boxing matches of
all sorts.
think the training is wonderful
here for it will learn one to take the
best care of himself and everything
is perfectly sanitary. Six months of
this won't hurt any fellow. The only
thing | don't like about it is we have
to retire too early. At 9:15 the
lights are turned out.
Well, doctor, after all my dread of
leaving what / had at Madison, | feel
very satisfied over it all at present,
as | have never felt better in all my
life than | do at the preesnt time,
considering the cause we are fighting
for. Never will forget the send off
we lads received from the home folks
and the respect we owe the folks
back home will make our load that
much easier to carry. / suppose the
ice season is about over at Madison
now. Guess i would be about out of
a Job If | were there so | am not so
bad off after all. Ii surely gives a
fellow an appetite here after all the
hiking and physical exercises. Ex-
pect to have about 5000 horses here
soon, SO l won't have TO walk so
much, as our regiment will have
horses. We fifteen lads that left to-
gether are all in the same barracks
which. makes it very pleasant for us
all. As they are about to call for the
mail I'll have to close.-Private Jas.
