VISITS BROTHER AT FUNSTON
W. A. Paullin, who lives five and a
half miles northwest of Mexico, has
just returned from a visit to his
brother, Roy E. Paullin, who was sent
with the first draft contingent to
Camp Funston. Paullin is now in the
medical division and has n. idea when
he will be sent to France. He, as
well as other Audrain boys who have
been at Funston for sometime, is anx-
lous to be moved. He has been at
Funston for nearly a year, going from
here in charge of the first contingent
sent out.
Mr.. Paullin says he saw several
Audrain county boys, and all wanted
to hear about the big fire. Eight
inches of snow fell at Funston re-
Gently and Mr.. Paullin says the slush
and mud are a great hindrance to reg
ular camp routine.

toned at Camp Mills, Mineola, N.

the postal card was written; and said

candy and postal cards with which to
write home.
