bOYSREADY TO COME WEST AND
 BE WARMED UP

(By C. w. Boris-With the Arizona troops of the National Army in training at Camp Funston.) CAMP FUNSTON, Kas., Oct. H. There is persistent gossip here that the Arizona boys in training will shortly be transferred to Linda Vista, California, the national guard camp, F miles from San Diego. Just how true this is cannot be set forth at this time, but the origin oI the statement it is said regarding the transfer comes from high official l circles and can be taken as the fore
 rner of the coming official an- ii,Incement.
 inc boys from Arizona will greatly welcome the transfer; the weather here is far from pleasant and the Cal ifornia weather will make the army , lads feel more at home. The change from the warm Arizona sunshine to the sort of weather eX- 1 perienced here has caused some of i the boys much discomfort and there IS continued complaint. ! The Kansas winds raise havoc, the i dust is binding, while the chilly nights are far from pleasant ! All the boys have settled down to business, it's drills from morning to night, with rest from 11:30 q. m. to l1:30 D. m for eats" On the field we are set through with marching ana setting up exercises and gradually the boys are becoming hardened to the work.
 Some like if, some don't. II all de- bends on the feeling of the individual But those that don't like it are sure made to like it and gradually they ! learn to like it.
 Although the drilling is rather Trough on some of the lads unac- customed to too much exercise still it is making the boys soldiers and that is the reason they are in Camp Funs- ton.
 Here is the program: Up at 5:45 a. m.
 Roll call at a. ma double team before breakfast.
 Breakfast at 6:30 a. m.
 Start drilling at 7:30 a. m.
 Rest at 11:30 a. m.
 Dinner at 12 noon.
 Rest until 1:30 p. m.
 Start drilling at 1:30 D. m.
 Rest at 4:30 D. m
 Retreat roll call at p. m. Supper.
 Bedtime p. m. Lights go out at 9:45 p. m.
 And there is nothing to do until tomorrow.
 While off duty many of the boys spend their time, reading. writing home while others engage in the indoor national game of shooting
 raps. The off duty time brings many of the lads from Arizona to- gether, as they are quite frequently sent to other barracks on the camp.
