Letter From Carter Vaughn

Carter Vaughn, late city editor of
the Ledger, in the National Army,
writes under date of October 10th
from Camp Funston, briefly, as fol-
lows:
CAMP FUNSTON, Kansas Tuesday.
- A dozen or more men were taken
from every company in the 354th In
fantry last night, fitted up in uni
forms, told to pack up their blankets,
etc, and prepare to leave. They
left last night, but where they went
is not known. Audrain county men,
who were among the number are Ze-
mas Garrett, Baker Barnes and Ar
thur Worley 1t is probable they
will never leave Funston, but some
think they will be taken south and
probably put in the Hospital Corps
or uuartermasters department. Deep
mystery surrounded the departure of
the men. They were told to step for
ward at retreat, and by seven o'clock
they were gone. The men, themselves
had no idea where they were going;
and they left midst cheers and best
wishes from their companions.
Hurriedly, Carter Vaughn

cts and, of course, there is a limit to
the amount of money they care to
spend for the benefit of the public.
The people of Mexico and all who live
along this line are vitality interested
in this proposition, and we feel con-
fident will readily assist in the main
tenance of this line, if practicable.
We have always felt that this PROPOSE
tion would eventually lead to Mexico
being the center of a system Of elec-
trio railroads, and we are still Of the
same opinion; but if this line is
iunked, it may mean a long time be-
fore Mexico again gets on the map
in electric railroad circles. The
management of this line has strug-
gled against almost unsurmountable
obstacles ever since the enterprise
was started, and it would be deeply
regretted if at this time, when the
Mckinley system is casting an eye
in this direction, the line should be
iunked. This proposition is of more
Importance than many of its friends
and patrons seem to appreciate.

NEW CORN MOVING AT $1.OO
Albert Harrison, Of Audrain County,
Says This is Opening Figure for
New Crop

Albert Harrison, Of Audrain coun-
ty, Mo-, was at the yards Tuesday.
He purchased bunch of nice calves
that he will shortly put on feed and
market them here when fat. Mr..
Harrison says his feed lots are now
completely empty as he recently sold
the last of his hogs and was lucky
enough to get in before the market
began to break.
"a little corn in my section was
damaged by frosts," he remarked to
a Reporter representative. "How-
ever, the main portion of the crop was
safe and we will have plenty of grain
to feed. | hear of contracts for new
corn at 81 a bushel and it is likely
that this will be the prevailing price
for feeders. +" - st. Louis Live Stock
Reporter.

admit that the substitution of won-
en- to release fighting men could not
be arranged on an equal ratio. Four
women take the places of three men,
except in the departments of cookery,
housework and mess-service, where
two women do the work of three men,
it is claimed, and save out of all pro-
portion to their wages.
"Just as an example, at one mess
here in England the daily charge to
officers was reduced within few
weeks of the women's taking charge
from 62 cents to 81 cents and now this
charge has dropped to 18 cents. The
cooks saved the general mess five hun
dred dollars within few weeks. One
girl of % is responsible for the entire
service of rest camp of $4,000 men,"
"Do the women get pretty good pay
or is it mostly glory"
"The rate Of pay varies according to
skill"
The uniform allowance provides for
great coat of army pattern khaki
drill, khaki-colored coat frock, three
collars, 2 overalls, 2 pairs of stock
ings, one pair of CATERS, one pair of
shoes and one khaki felt hat. The
higher grades wear khaki tunic and
skirt. The tunic is made on modi-
fled Norfolk pattern with belt to
match. There are no leather trap
pings or brass buttons. Shoulder
straps inset with color denote the va
rious sections, blue for those at head
quarters, orange for the administra-
tors, scarlet for the domestic section,
brown for the clerks, claret for the
mechanics and purple for the odd jobs
women who can turn their hands to
many toilsome tasks. The corps emD-
lens are the rose and the fleur de lis.
~ suppose the women's corps faces
danger at the front shoulder to
shoulder with the men," This ques-
ton was asked because visions OF
shell-torn dugouts and ruined hut
ments suddenly came to mind.
"Not at all. There is no romance of
that sort about the service in France,
my dear. The women employed are
stationed at bases and places of safe
ty on lines of communication far from
the firing line where there is much
work to be done, where the RESPONSE
bility for the general welfare of the
fighting men is centered. The mern-
bers are subject to the orders of the
officer commanding the unit to which
they are attached during working
hours, and afterward to their own adj
ministrators.
"They enlist for one year or the du-
ration of the war. The first three
weeks or so they stay at the local
hostel where they are innoculatea
and vaccinated, fitted with uniforms
and taught some elementary march,
ing drill, merely sufficient to enable
them to march to the station in good
style. From the first a fine spirit
has been shown by volunteers. They
are told that their work will entail
hardships and sacrifices and they go
to France without any romantic illu-
sions."
