LOOKS HEARTY AFTER SIX
MONTHS AT FUNSTON
Gannissn Boy Hoae on Furisugh Gives
Inside View Of Life In the United
States Army.

Martin Vanvoorhis, who was among
the 6rst five per cent" to 60 from this
county, has been shaking hands with
townspeople this week. He is home
on . fourteen days furlough, to visit
his wife and friends, but expects to
leave the last Of this week for Camp
Funston, stopping over ut Cripple
Greek to visit his father, 7. B. Van
voorhis, who is over seventy and in
bad health.
Martin has the appearance Of being
hale and hearty and his looks prove
that soldier life agrees with him. He
says that most of the Gunnison boys
are now scattered around at other
camps, with the exception Of those in
the S4lst artillery, for that Branch of
the service requires longer training.
Still, they may be called any evening
at an hours notice to pack up for
France or some other training camp.
After being given the preliminary
training at Camp Funston, the boys are
then moved to other cantonments
to take the second steps in the process
Of being made into first class fighting
men. Then after they have mastered
the ins and outs of secondary training,
they will be given the 32nd degree in
France.
The boys are q jolly lot; well fed and
taken care of generally, for the un-
readiness and confusion Of the first
few weeks has steadily resolved itself
into system, discipline and real sold
iering. Still, the boys are getting inn
patient and anxious to be of. They
are all feeling fit to 60 to France or
China, or Alexandria, Just so they go
and get into action at the earliest pos
sible moment. 1t is fine lot Of fel-
lows, and they will make the Germans
think something has struck Europe
when the time comes.
Asked about the Red Cross, the Y.
NJ. C. A., the K. Of c., etc, he says
these organizations are doing . good
work. There are IL Y. n. C. A. halls,
and . knights Of Columbus hall %
Funston, and here the soldiers gather
for amusement and to write letters
home. OF course, the barracks are
comfortable, but they like to gather
together and discuss the war and the
training and the world Of new things
that come up that make part Of . SOL
diers lie. The Red Cross material

are being knit are very acceptable on

ICE HARVEST TURNING

The annual ice harvest is in full
swing and the quality of the product
is reported unusually fine. Now that
the dealers have put up enough for
their expected summer trade, ranch
men are hauling out large quantities

most Of them figure than cutting It

NATIONAL WEEK OF SONG
GIVEN MUCH PROMINENCE

Our National Week Of Song has
been very successful in town this year,
Indeed, as impelled by the war spirit
OF patriotism, 1t is becoming quite q
national affair. Prof. Rutland of the
city schools says that two years ago
when the idea was first started, only
q small audience greeted the efforts
Of the children. Last year the Meth
odist church was crowded at the en-
tertainment while Wednesday even
ing Of this week, probably hundred
were turned away, unahle to secure
even standing room to hear the pro-
gram.
The program reflected great credit
on the pupils and the teachers alike.
The audience was liberal in applause,
SO that the national dances and songs
were frequently encored. The last
number Of the evening was dramatic
zation Of Edward Everett Hale's 1.-THE
Man Without . Country" presented
by the boys Of the training schools,
who has rugged up an imitation ship
and made life-like naval officers and
men.
All thru the week, much time has
been used in the schools to learn pat
riotic songs and to drive home to the
receptive minds Of our little folks the
idea Of patriotism.
Sunday evening last the week began
with fine musical program at the M.
E.. church, and sermon about "The
spiritual significance of music" by
Rev. Ferris. The song week will close
Sunday evening the oath by musical
program at the Presbyterian church,
the program Of which appears on an
other page.
