ALI CAMP KNEW
 WIEN ARIZONA
 BOYS ARRIVED
There Were No Doleful
 Faces Among First Five Per Cent from Maricopa
 County, Dispatch States

They knew when the thirty men of the first contingent from Maricopa county. Arizona, arrived at Camp Funston. Fort Riley, Kansas. although there were 2,374 soldiers of the na- tional army there at the time, besides the many other persons that make up the big cantonment That the Ari- Zona men made up a lively bunch is evident from the following dispatch sent out from Camp Funston last Tuesday:
 Thirty men from Maricopa county, Arizona. came in today, making 2,404 drafted men now in camp. They were all. prepared to be soldiers in the least possible time. More than two thirds of the newcomers brought uni forms with them. Some brought re- volvers and a majority contributed to q fund for a big silk American flag presented by them to Lieut.. Col. B. C. Clark, receiving officer It is the largest flag in camp.
 Two of the men musically inclined commenced taking lessons on bugle when they were notified they would be in the first quota and one of them brought along a bass drum. There was more noise when the per cent from Maricopa County arrived than there is when a general fire alarm is given. That is the spirit the officers like to see in the men.
 Few Idle Hours
 Although the first contingent of five per cent of the national army has ar rived at Camp Funston and the second one of forty perecent will be there in a day or two. construction work is still going on at that great training camp, according to word received from the camp where the Arizona boys are sta toned
 Camp Funston is on big bend of the Kaw river, which is slang for Kansas river At the extreme east is Army City, the new town that is expected to provide amusement ard entertain ment for the 45,00a men of the new national army when completed. The Union Pacific railroad cuts the camp in two. Twelve great depots are on the main line for the accommodation of the camp Fort Riley with it's per manent buildings lies four miles to the west The greater part of the can tOnment is on the south side of the tracks.
 Detail work of organizing the men into the regiments and companies of the Eighty ninth division of the na- tional army is well near completion. Among the things yet uncompleted is an ice plant and a refrigeration plant for the storage of all meats and vege- tables. and a laundry for the accom- modation of 50 900 men.
 Sanitation is to receive the first at tention at Camp Funston, and printed regulations concerning camp sanita = ticn have been distributed to all the men. These are some of the regula- tions; Every man must take at least two baths week. Bedding must be aired at least once a week and wher- ever there is to be a parade. Hair must be kept closely cropped. Teeth must be brushed every day and hands washed before every meal
 How to Address' Mail
 At Army City there will be every convenience for amusement and recre- ation that a modern city enjoys in- cluding a theater to seat 2,500, hotels, cafes, billiard halls, motion picture theaters, bowling alleys, refreshment parlors. photograph galleries, garages etc. The federal regulations will make it extremely hard on bootleggers who attempt to sell liquor to soldiers Also the officials watch the morals of the men closely.
