The plan briefly suggested here is q
practical one. Thousands OF comrades will
patronize each other if they are shown
the way. The only way is to advertise.
This is a good time for developing the
plan, because a comrade may have ad-
vertising without cost if he will get up
club. For every dollar sent to the paper
as a club-raiser he may have 81 worth Of
auvertIsIns.
The price of this advertising has been
fixed at 5 cents a word, which is very
low rate You reach a quarter-million
readers and will often get hundreds of re
plies from single ad.
All the world deals now through the
mails or by express or freight Try it
yourself.
Write us the substance of what you
want to say, and we will arrange it in the
fewest possible words.
Regimental historians and Secretaries
of Survivors Associations will find these

When our soldiers reached Fort Egbert

In the cold months there is no snow. For

are no nights, and the days are mighty

Morgan Immediately and actively began
to reorganize his division. Although many
of his men and officers were in prison, and
those who had escaped from Ohio were
scattered, some of them temporarily serv-

together, and succeeded in having other
battalions. that had never before served
under him, assigned to his division. Cav
alrymen eagerly sought service under
Morgan. many who belonged to other
commands importunately demanded that
they be transferred to Morgan's rough
