General Funston would put army life
on a business basis by raising soldiers

Of the United States. he asserts, igno-
rant, unskilled laborers working by the

by private soldier on his second en-
listment, and yet only a small per-

figures to show that many unskilled
1aborers save $216 year out of their
earnings, after paying for their board
in which term he doubtless includes
lodging and clothing? The soldiers pay
seems small because the general public
does not realize that in addition to his
money wage the government gives him
board. lodging and medical attendance
as well as clothing Taking all these
things at their current commercial
value and the steady man in the ranks
has a better chance to lay up money
than the unskilled day labOrer That
many thousands of soldiers do lay up
money out of their wages is evidenced
by the government reports. Under the
law enlisted men may deposit their saw
ings in sums not less than So with pay
masters. Upon deposits of not less than
$50, remaining for six months or longer
interest is paid at 4 per cent From
the report of the secretary of war it
appears that in the fiscal years OF 1899

this principal s7.974.51460 was paid SOL

Bailey
Hurrell retired and Leland and Cover
nor Bailey retired into the governors
private Office and closed the door.

with many of the governors appoint

determined that those differences need

NOT A GOOD PLAN.
Talk of Football Game Between Col
legians and Madics.

There is some talk of a football game
between the Washburn NEEDLES and the
Washburn collegiates. The Medics are
said to want game, and to be conf
dent that they could clean up their
team mates. 1t would certainly be
hot contest, but it would not be a very
good thing for the first team. 1t looks
like an effort to revive the old animos-
tiles, and the faculty would probably
not permit such contest at the present
time.
The Medics could put up such men as
Caldwell. Lalxin, Stewart. Hill, Page
and Kiene, while the collegiates would
have Dadisman. Mehl, Millice. Delay,
Anderson. Biehler. Cunningham. Max
well, Amick and Carrothers.
