Gen. Funston Says Enlisted Men Must
Have More Pay.

General Funston, in command OF the
oepartment Of the Columbia, in his
annual report made public recently at
the war department, says something
that will be of considerable interest to
enlisted men. General Funston says
ITO get and keep good class of men
there must be a radical increase in the
nav OF the rank and file. There is no
dlse using the fact that recruits are
OBTAINED with difficulty, and that most
of them are not satisfactory. kew men
re enlist, while the number of deser-
tions aud dishonorable discharges Is
phenomenal. The government cannot
get something tor nothing. The pay
of the enlisted men of the army Is
ridiculnusly small. The wonder is,
not that so few men enlist and that 10
small a percentage OF them re-enlist
after three years, but thar we obtain
and keep so many really good men as
we do. In many parts OF the United
States ignorant. unsl1illed laborers,
working by the DAY, are able to save
above their board and clothing twice
the amount received by a private
soldier on his second enlistment, and
vet only small percentage OF these
men could pass the test in recruiting
office. II the pay IF private on his
first enlistment were made to approach
tnat of a farm laborer, l am of the
opinion that there would be
sufficient number of enlistments OF
very superior class-young men from
the farms who are usually OF good
physique and have common school
education, and are not SO much
addicted to incorporate habits as
men recruited III the cities.

Many farmers in the Northern and
Eastern states are selling their hlgs

west-in Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana
and Texas. Many who have been
unable to own their homes in the older
country are buying land at the low
prices prevailing in the new country-s9,
$40, SIS per acre and up. These lands
are mostly cut-over timber lands, some
of them possessing deep rich SOIL
producing corn, wheat oats, clover,
cotton, fruits and vegetables. Wen
improved farms are scattered through =
out this country. Many places WIN

can be bought very cheap. our
