ANSWERED LAST ROLL CALL

On Wednesday afternoon F. d.
Hastings received telegram convey
ing the news of the death of 7. w
Bundy, of Pasadena, California. 1t
is with sorrow that the old time
friends learn of his passing away.
Until a year and a half ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Bundy were residents of Wa
Keeney but moved to California to
spend the remainder of their days,
but disease had inroads on Mr..
Bundy's health and he steadily fail
ed until death came. During the
years of their residence in Wa-Kee-
ney, Mr. Bundy made host of warm
friends who will learn of his death
with genuine regret. He was always
kind and obliging and had CHEEKY
word for everyone. His life was one
of integrity and uprightness and he
was a loyal friend. He had long
listed in Ohio the state of his birth
and gave his country four years of
loyal service. 1t is with real feel
ing of personal sorrow that the ed
itor writes of Tom Bundy's death for
there existed feeling of friendship
that came from many years of neigh
borly association that will be hard to
forget. He was of the Quaker faith
and we can say we always found him
four square on every proposition.
1t comes as a great blow to Mrs
Bundy and the hearts of her friends
go out to her in this great trial and
sorrow.
On Friday afternoon the funeral
is to be held and the interment will
be made at Pasadena.

A LETTER FROM CAMP LEWIS
Camp Lewis, Washington
March 8, 1918

March 8, 1918.
Dear Father:
am just recovering from an at
tack of the mumps and so I have
plenty of time to write. Our company
has been rather unfortunate in regard
to sickness, having been under quar-
antine nearly two thirds of the time
since coming here. We have had
spinal meningitis, measles and
mumps, with one death resulting from
meningitis, and have about 35 cases
in hospital now, mostly mumps, but
if no new cases develop in the next
few days we should be free again.
Moses landed in camp one after
noon and got excused for the rest
of the day. He returned to Tacoma in
the evenings and came back again on
Saturday afternoon. That should
have been a holiday and we had plan
ned to look about the camp a little
but in the meantime we had been quar-
antined again so of course could not
leave the yard. However, was glad
! to see Nose and to learn that he and
his wife are prospering-
I am glad that you like the company
/ picture which sent you. The men Of
our company are a-pretty good bunch
taken all in all, but of course there
are a few who take no interest IN
anything. Such men cannot hope te
stay in this company very long and

for matter are not very welcome
anywhere. Our officers tell us that
we are a company of specialists and
each member must specialize in some
particular detail of the work if we
wish to remain in the headquarters
company. Now that am in the COM
pany I would like to stay or at least
/ would hate to be transferred be-
cause failed to qualify. However, if
/ had my choice, believe that would
rather be in fighting company for
then there would be some chance for
retaliation. If we ever get into action
over there I suspect that Headquar-
tiers Company will get shot at a
plenty, but I'm afraid we won't have
much chance for a kick-back, and you
know it's hardly human nature to
like things that way.
I am drawing the pay of a first
class private and I have taken in
surance to the limit The last time

Hoping this finds you and mother
as well as usual, I am,

RED CROSS NOTES

Wear your Red Cross button every
day, everywhere.
Keep your Red Cross banner in
your window and let your light shine.
1t is an emblem of loyalty, a token of
mercy, and serves as daily reminder
of duty.
Should there be any let-up in Red
Cross work, now that warm weather
is approaching? By no means. An
other cold winter lies just ahead of
us. We have enlisted for the full
period of the war and there should be
no let-up in anything until the war is
won.
More work and consequently more
the need is increasing day by day. IF
there is not a bunch of. active work
ers IN your township OF in your neigh
borhood, get busy. Do not wait for
someone else to start something.
Write to Mrs. A. J. Ellermeyer, Wa
keeney, who has charge of extension
work for the Trego County Chapter.
She will be glad to help the workers
of your community get started.
This reporter has overheard the re-
mark that some of the best work
which comes to the county chapter is
turned in by the Collyer knitters.
However, there are other very skill
full workers in every neighborhood
and in every line of work so far un-
der taken. It is also very gratifying
and noticeable that the general char
acter of the work done steadily i'm
proved with increasing experience
Let the public give credit to the faith
full, patient workers, and may their
numbers increase.

A VISIT TO CAMP FUNSTON

We left Junction City at six o'clock
on street car last Saturday morning,
stopped at FIT. Riley to watch the
we were anxious to go onto Camp
Funston to see the boys so did not
tarry long. After arriving at Camp
Funston we had to get passes after
which we started out to find the 353rd
Infantry where most all of the Kan
sas boys are located. We took short
cut through most of the places but
near the depot were halted by guard
who asked to see our passes. We
showed them to him and were al
lowed to go on. We went into the
M. G: Co. 353 where several of the
boys are located but they were all
out, so went to the Supply Company
where Elmer Holcomb is chief cook
and found him there and he told us
most of the boys were out and we
probably wouldn't see them until
noon when they returned for dinner.
As Elmer was on duty in the kitchen
he asked US to stay for dinner and
wait for the boys. 1t was our first
soldier dinner and it was sure a good
one. We had Potato Soup and
Crotions, Fried Liver and Onions,
Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Macaroni
with Tomato dressing, bread and
Peach Pudding for dessert. We had
all we could eat and it was fine. After
dinner we went into Elmer's room
and he showed US a Mess Kit which
I had always wanted to see. We then
went over to the M. G. Company and
there we saw Guss Hillman, Frank
Malinowsky, Chester Riggs, Judd
Anderson, George Spitsnaugle and
ready for big dance which was to be
given at Recreation Hall that after
noon. They invited us to go with
them which we did The hall is i'm
mense holds $500. A fine large band
furnished the music. They opened
the dance with a march in which a
great many took part. They danced
until four o'clock when a lunch con-
sisting of sandwiches ice cream and
cake was served then they danced
again until six o'clock when every
body had to be out of camp who did
not belong there. I guess I saw all
the Trego County boys and we had a
chat with all of them. Guss Hillman
and Henry Schroeder got a permit
for that evening and went to Jun
ction City with US and staid until
Sunday evening. We told them all
the news from here and they told a
lot of things about camp life. We
told them about our State Guard
Organization and they took a lot of
interest in it. The first question they
asked was what is the penalty if we
miss once or are tardy. We told them
it was an hour extra drilling One of
the boys remarked that he wished
that was all they had to do in their
military life for the same offense
Sunday it rained nearly all day so
after dinner with the boys we went
to Army City for an afternoon show.
They had to be back at the barracks
at six o'clock. They sent their best
| wishes to all their Trego county
friends. Everyone that finds an op-
portunity should take a day off now
| and then and go and see the boys for
| they do sure appreciate a visit from
some one from home.

The services last Sunday evening
was well attended and greatly enjoy
ed by all The address by President
Lewis, of Hays Normal, was one of
the best we have listened to for quite
a while. He had a message of en-
couragement for the parents of the
boys in the service and a word of
inspiration to every loyal American.
We welcome him back any time for
such an address.
One of the best features of the
services was the unwilling of the ser
vice flag with 20 stars on it represent
ing the following names: Fred Kerth,
Earl Campbell, Ralph Harlan, Harry
Rinker, Clifford Bellairs, Leo Myerly,
Leonard Acre, Albert Acre, Paul
Lamle, Elmer Holcomb, Charles Tur-
ner, Chester Riggs, Neil Ufford, Cecil
Ruppe, Howard Gordon, Archie STAN
ton, Ralph Cypher, Robert Blakely,
Leo Harlan, Ray Morgan
Two boy scouts stood one on each
side of the flag and the Goddess of
Liberty was concealed behind screen,
and as the reading of the names was
finished the screen was pulled away
from in front of Liberty and the boy
scouts unveiled the flag while Liberty
remained in pose, then the congreg-

One experiment that is of particular
interest is on the Development Of
Breeding Heifers." Three years ago,
we took 80 Hereford heifer calves.
Forty of these we fed the best way
possible, and forty we fed the way an
ordinary farmer feeds his breeding
stock. Half of each lot was bred to
calve the first time at two years old.
This half will recalve again this
spring, and the second half will calf
this spring for the first time at three
years old. The object of this exper-
iment is to see whether we get
enough growth in the developed
breeding cows, and enough more and
better calves to pay for extra feeding.
To see this and other live stock ex-
periments will be worth trip to
Hays on April 10, 1918.
