The words to the final call are.

From afar, some bright star,

"When are we going away
from here? Several months IN
Funston have made this one Of
the standard questions of the
day here. The boys are getting g
just little bit impatient and
want to be on the move. They
feel perfectly capable of takin g.
on any kind of enemy right nov,
whether their officers agree
with them or not. Many are
actually worrying for fear that
the war will be over before they
get their chance to prove them
selves.
Tho desire to move breeds ru-
mors by the thousand, but to
find one of them with any
foundation is impossible. A fa-
vorite with many, and some Of
them really believe it, is that.
they are to move in time t.
make room for the next draft
Another is that the whole di-
vision is to start for France to-
morrow-at 7::45 sharp!
Some have it direct-via the
dream imagination have Il
on good authority system, that
the whole division is to move to
& Southern camp. Some even
caan be found that insist that
these men will continue to stay
at Funston until the end of the
war-so here you are, take youl'
choice. If you don't care fol
any of these, others will be
cheerfully invented for you.
Officers wouldn't tell about
any contemplated troop move
ment even if they knew. The
general opinion seems to be,
however, that while the men Of
General Woods division have
progressed remarkably well in
their training, there are still
many things yet to learn to fit
them for overseas service, and
that Funston will continue to be
home for some ime.
The 353d Infantry is the
most insured organization of
General Leonard Woods di-
vision, according to announce
ment made at Camp Funston
this week. The regiment has
1910 applications in with 1t.
Jos. E. Brown, who is in charge
of the war risk insurance. The
total amount is Z $13, 1853, 800. 90.
In all, the division has already
applied for insurance amounting
to $128, ,366,5OO, with 15,548
policies asked for.
Many of the Camp Funston
soldiers, however, do not seem
tc realize the Importance and
necessity of the government in
surance, and a drive is planned
by 1t. Brown to try to get an
application from every man in
the division. A soldiers appli-
cation can only be made during
the 120 days following his en-
trance into the army, and many
who do not realize this, or who
are putting it off from day to
day are likely to find them
selves at the front without the
priceless protection for the
folks at home.

OIL IN CHINO
VALLEY
Great Indications in
Northern Arizona

IVUI lilVl M IZUlIO
Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. e.
There is no doubt that the in
dications of oil exist. in the
Chino Valley.
Such is the declaration Of MIL
ton A. Allen, the mineral tech
nologist of the Arizona State
Bureau of Mines of the Univer-
sity of Arizona, Tucson, who
has just returned to Tucson
from an inspection of the Chino
Valley field.
The University of Arizona
sent it's representative to Chino
Valley as a result of the tre-
mendous publicity which the
new oilfields of !. Arizona re-
ceived with regard to the possi-
BILE occurrence of oil in CONNER
cial quantities.
In his report Mr.. Allen states
that as to the existence of oil
bearing rock there is absolutely
no question, and as to the pres
ence Of an anticlinal structure
which is necessary for oil segre-
cation, there seems to be no
question.
In part his report follows:
The work being done in the
Chino Valley, which is situated
in the northern part of Yavapai
county, has been the most
prominent for some years. Oil
indications have been known in
this valley since 1905, when a
Mr.. Jones, after a careful sur
vey of the field, reported that
favorable indications of oil ex-
listed.
Some years ago J. C. Heslit
formed company known as the
Chino Valley Oil and Mining
company, which raised suffi-
cient money to put down a test
well. An affidavit was made
by Mr.. j. I. Wiley that oil sands
containing a high paraffine
base oil were found,
Recently a considerable num-
ber of companies have been
formed and taken location in
the Chino Valley field, besides
numerous private individuals.
The Arizona Oil and Refining
Company has a derrick erected
at a place half a mile southeast
of the discovery well of the
Chino Wiley Oil and Mining
Company. The complete drill
ing rig is on the field.
AS to existenceof oil-bear-
ing rock, there is absolutely no
question, and as to the pres
ence of an anticlinal structure,
which is necessary for oil segre-
cation there seems to be. no
question.
The nearest field in which oil
occurs in the same geological
series as that Of the Chino Val
ley is the San Juan field of
Utah, which is just north of the
Arizona-Utah state line.
The object of the reconnais-
stlnce made by the Arizona
State Bureau of Mines vas to
ascertain whether or not there
were chances of finding oil in
commercial quantiti,s s in the
Chino Valley.
The Bureau of Mines desired
to be able to assure the public,
if the conditions warranted,
that the operations were legiti-
mate and that there were
chances for oil.
Mr.. Allen was very favorab'y
impressed win the opportunities
of the field and with the sin
cerity of the operators with
whom he came in touch during
his investigation.
Mr.. Allen stated IL the con-
clusion of his report that the
existence of oil in commercial

Camp Funston, Kan., Jan. 30.
The first thing that a newly
arrived National Army man
hears when he enters Camp
L,lnston. is. a bugle call, and he
finds that after be had become
a SCI Ter, nearly every rove
ment made is directed by the
notes ef his company ;ugler. A
bugle is the first thing heard in
the morning, and the last thing
at night. 1t is the first thing
he must learn to know when he
becomes soldier, and when his
life's work is complete the call
that is played over the little
pine box. the most beautiful one
of all, is the one that sings the
men to sleep-taps.
The buglerS and tnelr Calls
are provided for in the service
regulations. Nothing is said,
however, about words to them
but from the earliest days OF
the American army there have
been verses. Every call has its
own words in the minds OF the
doughboys, and there are as
many variations as there are or
ganizations.
The reville is the first in the
morning, and is probably the
best known to the civilian-and
the most unpopular with the
soldier. The oldest verse set to
its tune follows:
I can't get 'em up, | can't get
'em up, | can't get 'em up
in the morning.
I can't get 'em up, | can't get
'em up, l can't get 'em up
at all.
Corp'rals worse than the pri-
Yates, sergeants worse
than the corporals,
Lieutenants worse than the SER
geants, and tn captains
worst Of all
Then he chorus is strong with
81 can't get 'em up, ETC."
The words to the mess call
are another standard verse.
This is the most popular call in
the army and never has to be
repeated. 1t is a curious fact
that none of the men ever have
any trouble hearing itsplainly at
its first sounding. Here is the
verse:
Soup-y, soup-y, soup-y, without
a singel bean;
Pork-y, pork-y, pork-y, without
a single bean;
Coffee, coffee, coffee, without
any cream.
Sick call is just as adapted to
camp life at Funston as the 9TH
ers. It goes like this:
Come and get your quinine.
Come and get your pills.
O, come and get your quinine,
come and get yonr pills.
The stable call that sounds
when it comes time for the
Funston mule-skinners to fccl
and water their "hardtails" is
a little more poetical:
Come all who are able, and go to
the stable,
And water your horses and
give e msome corn.
For if you don't the colonel will
know it,
And then you will rue it as
sure as you're born.

army, taps is sounded as he is

authorities at Glendive refused to give
US Palmer, holding him on suspicion.
When arrested he had thirty -one ST.
600 bills in his possession and could
give no account Of it. He is sus-
pected of being a spy for Germany.
His nationality is Austrian. Palmer
stopped at the Waltz home about
two weeks ago, his car being in bad
condition. He remained at the Waltz
home for day until the car was
fixed and then proceeded to Glendive.
Later he returned and the roads be.
ing in bad condition, he again stopped
at the Waltz house for nearly week.
When he left, Miss Waltz accompan-
led him without the knowledge of her
parents. When arrested the couple
had not been married. Sheriff Hart
ung will go to Glen d Nv
where he will be met by Pinker-
ton detective, who comes from Chica-
go in an endeavor to identify Pal
mer as bank robber, who recently
robbed a Chicago bank of SAL 900.
According to telegram received from
the Pinkerton agency, the man un-
der arrest fits the description of the
robber. Mr.. Waltz, who lives few
miles east Of Hebron, farms 500 acres
of land and is highly respected by
all who know him. The girl is again
with her parents.

Fire broke out in the livery barn
owned by Ira Pellette at Tolley at
o'clock Thursday morning and total
ly destroyed the building. The
flames spread to the home of Fred
Irgens and the dwelling and con-
tents were destroyed. The barn con-
tanned an automobile and a wagon,
but all live stock in it when the fire
started, were gotten out. Both build
ings were insured but the furniture
in the Irgens home was not. No
cause of the fire could be determined.
Ernest Lack of Minneapolis, a
salesman for Swift & Co., brother Of
Charley Lack, manager of the Dick
inson Grocery Co., was killed by Reu-
ben c. Curtis, revolver being used.
The shooting was the result Of Lacks
demonstrating with Curtis for not
permitting some children to play in
front Of the Lack home. An alter
cation ensuing between the two men,
Lack slapped Curtis face and the lat
ter, returning to his house, obtained
revolver, followed Lack to the oppo-
site side Of the street and fired, the
bullet tearing through Lacks chest.
Harry Eustce, Hugh Hubert and

the arrests of these men was made
out in February but the men skipped
out and were not caught till this
spring. Harry Eustice was sentenced
to two years at hard labor in prison

and was bound over till the fall term
of court.
A prominent Hankinson citizen with
extensive interests in Greendale,
dropped asleep while driving his trus-
ty Ford out that way one day last
week. The result was an overturn-
ed car, smashed windshield and other
minor damage to the car. He is
figuring now on equipping the gaso-
line buggy with an alarm clock, set
to 20 off at intervals Of three min
utes while the car is in operation.
No patent on the suggestion.
A deplorable accident happened at
the Carl Domres farm, west of Lang
don, last Sunday morning, when their
eighteen months old child was in
stantly killed. The father had gone
to the garage to get the car to take
the family to church, leaving the lit
tie boy at the house. It seems, how
ever, that the little fellow followed
his father and stopped just back Of
the car and, as his father backed out,
the wheel passed over the child's body.
The car was one of the heavier mo-
dels, being Buick Six, and death
followed in a very short time fol-
lowing the accident. The distracted
father ran to the telephone and call
ed a physician from Langdon, but
the little one had passed away before
the doctor arrived. The funeral SER
vices, held on the following day, were
largely attended by neighbors and
friends, who sympathize most sincere
ly with the members of the bereaeved
family.
Tuesday evening eight of the nine
children of J. A. Meyer of the Sc
curity State Bank Of New England,
went out in the family car, driven by
Tony, the 14-year old son. Just out
side of town the car turned turtle in
stretch Of lately graded soft road
and all the children sustained severe
cuts and bruises. Bernie, the nine
year-old son, received a fracture Of
the right leg, about the knee, severe
hip COMMISSIONS and cut on the lower
jaw that required several stitches to
close. He was taken to the Dickinson
hospital Wednesday for an X-ray ex-
animation. The little daughter about
three years old, suffered a cut in her
chin that required several stitched.
The children were picked up and hur-
ried home. They were met by Mr..
Meyer in car. He had been sum-
moned by telephone and soon had a
physician on hand. While the shak-
ing up was severe the family are re-
ceiving congratulations that all es-
capped more serious consequences.
Jake Waltz, prominent farmer of
near Hebron, was in the city Monday
enlisting the help of the sheriff of
that county in an effort to recover
his 17-year-old daughter, Martha,
who eloped with young man named
Alexander Palmer. Sheriff Hartung
sent out several messages with the
result that the young couple were
captured at Glendive the following
day. The girl was returned to the
city by Deputy George Nolan but the
