ROM CAMP FUNSTON.
An Interesting Budget Of News
From Our Soldiers.

(Union Pacific News Bureau
CAMP FUNSTON, Kan, Feb,
26.-The drafted men have be,
gun coming in again and in less
than an hour after these former
clerks, farmers, students and
followers of various crafts and
professions alight from the
train, they are wearlngi the
fighting clothes of Uncle Sam
and are ready for the training
program which will fit them to
meet and beat the Huns. A uni
form, it has been discovered,
goes a long way in making a
man a soldier. The donning OF
the olive drab attire of the army
takes the slouch and the humps
out of a man and changes a du-
bious look tosa smile.
Because they went through
the same experiences them
selves, the old. timers at Camp
Funston are kidding the new
comers," and are having a aot
of sfun.i But the new arrivals
soon catch on to the ways of a
soldier, and it is a safe bet that
these fellows who are coming in
this month will "kid" those who
come in next month.
The new system of receiving
men is working out very salts
factoriIy. All in the space of 81
minutes the record of a recruit
is compiled, he is examined,
given his "shot" of anti-typhoid
serum, his finger prints taken
and he is issued his full cloth
ing allowance. Then he is taken
tothe detention camp, where he
will stay for two weeks before
being assigned to any organiza-
ton.
Each man that enters the
army is questioned regarding
his opinion of the war, and the
consensus of opinion is that
"Kaiser Bill has got to be licked
good and proper"
Fifty-three denominations are
represented in the seth division
at Camp Funston, according to a
compilation of religious statis-
tics just completed by the di-
visional statistical officer. The
Methodists lead all others, a total
of 5,484 men claiming that faith
as. their preference. Catholics
come second with 4,442, and
Baptists third with 3,010.
The men of the S9th division
must be Jack Sprats and flick
their platters clean," else they'll
have the left-overs for the next
meal. In cooperation with the
nationwide movement to pre-
prevent food waste, officers of
Camp Funston have been ap-
pointed to see that as little food
as possible goes into the garbage
cans.
There is a second checking,
too, for all garbage cans are
marked, so that the inspectors
at the garbage dump will know
from just what organization the
waste comes, if there is any.
eff a soldier habitually takes
more food on his plate than he
can eat" reads a paragraph of
the order issued, "this, remain
ing food may be- set aside and
served for his next meal. No
additional food will be served to
such solder until he shall have
The daily morning oasis., 1918-03-05
eaten that left over from the
previous meal"

The order points out that
there should not be more than
5 per cent waste of vegetables
and nc waste of meat or bread.
On the whole, it has been found
that there is but little waste Of
food by the division, for men
who are out in the open air all
day long, hiking from 10 to 20
miles a day and doing other
strenuous work usually possess
"a pretty good appetite. A SOL
dier isn't "finicky." Quantity
lis his first thought concerning
food, and Uncle Sam is noted or
his generous helpings.
Most ofsthe officers messes
also are cooperating in the eff
fort to stop food wastage.
Wheatless and meatless days are
on the schedule at the mess
where the commanding general
and his staff officers eat, and it's
mighty little that gets in the
garbage cans.
1t fact, it is beginning to look
like the man who gets the 89th
divisions garbage would have a
1anky and lean lot of porkers, for
it is said that even pigs require
some real food once in a while.

Pryor's marching hit. has been
designated as the official march
of the 89th division. The de-
|oision was made by Lieut.. John
Phillip Sousa, the noted band
leader, who was the final Judge
n the contest. Thousands of
compositions were submitted
when Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood
ssued call for a division march
last fall.
Athletics have a regular place
n the training schedule of the
soldiers of Camp Funston and
with a few more warm days the
baseball players will be out in
droves. Capt. Paul Wilmington,
division ATHLETIC director, be-
lieves that with the abundance
IF material here a division team
tould be selected which would
give a good account of itself
with any high class nine. There
Ere many former professional
tall players now doing their bit

sral major leaguers. In addition
here are numerous college ball
layers of reputation.
On every holiday there are nu-
nerous track meets, and some
ugh records have been estab-
lshed in the dashes and longer
runs. Tugs-of-war also are pop
llar and basket ball has had a !
great run. Nearly every COM
pany in the division is repre-
sented by a basket ball team.
Boxing, under the direction of
Bob McAllister, former Pacific
Coast heavyweight champion,
and wrestling is indulged in to
a great extent, and almost every
night there is some sort of an
entertainment where boxing is
featured.
Health conditions are now ex-
cellent here, according to Lieut..
Col. J. L. Shepard, division sur
geon. At no time has the camp
been in such good shape and so

Live Stock Market


This week closed the month with
cattle and sheep prices showing
a material Improvement, and
hogs a sagging tendency. Feb
ruary receipts of cattle and hogs
were unusually. large, but there
was big decrease in sheep. Of
ficlal receipts for the month
were 157,089 cattle, 1854 calves,
269, ,181 hogs and 8,469 sheep,
showing an increase of 25,1l3
cattle, 34,213 hogs and a de-
crease of 1,3O6 calves and 61,270
sheep. Cattle and hog. receipts
were The largest ever reported
in the second month of the year,
and sheep the smallest for many
years past. Cattle prices show
ed a general rally in the latter
half of the month and sheep and
hogs underwent rather violent
price fluctuations with the clos
ing level showing small changes.
Beef Cattle
Demand for beef steers in the
past few days was active. with
prices at the highest point of the
season. Most steers are 25 cents
higher than a week ago and
$3.50 above the low point the
first week in February. The
bulk of the steers are selling at
$11.5O to $3.50, and the top
classes at $13 to $13.6O. Colo
RADIO steers sold up to $13, and
Nebraska steers $13.25. Butch
er cattle continued in active de-
mand at firm prices. Several
large punches of Western cows
sold at SO to 1915 and a train
bad of California cows, Gamers,
brought $3.50. Veal calves
were stronger than last week,
top $3.50. Bulls were quoted
steady at $3.50 to $fO.25.
Stockers and Feeders.
Though trade in ,stockers and
feeders in preceding days was
active at higher prices, there
was less urgency in demand to-
day and prices were weak. How
ever, general rains in the West
are expected to cause large de-
mand next week. Most Of the
feeders are selling at $1,000 to
$11.75. Twelve loads of 975-
pound Colorado feeders brought
$12.25. Stockers are selling a.
