PUT YOUR MONEY
 IN A GOOD BANK

So long as it is in your pocket or in the house the temptation to spend it is much greater. Be- sides it is more businesslike to pay all bills by check, and the returned check serves as a re- ceipt. Your neighborhood ought to have a credit union, and you should start one if possible, but if you can't, then put your mon- ey in bank.-Progressive Farmer.

HAWTHORNE RACE
MEET NEARS END
Illinois Jockey Club Gold Cup Handi-
cap is Feature Event on Closing
Card of Chicago Classic.

Chicago, July 29.-The Illinois
Jockey club gold cup handicap with
81, 900 added was the get away feature
on today's closing card at the Haw-
thorne race track.
For the first time since racing was
revived at Hawthorne the players got
something better than an even break
from the horses yesterday Four we'll
played favorites came down in front,
another lost by a nose and the sixth
ran for the spectators. This was their
only cheering period, for it was the
toughest day the bookies have had
since the meeting opened. Few, if any,
books made money, most of them los
ing the profits of ten days.
A high-class list of entries, included
in which were two or three regular
thoroughbreds, who ran like thorough
breds should run, made the afternoon
a pleasant one for the public. They
backed every favOrite across the
boards and any form player who quit
loser belongs in Judge Scully's court.
Even a novice had something better
than an even chance with this pro-
gram.
Sedan, Hocnir, Blus Grass Belle and
Billows were the choices to lead the
way to the wire, whereas Orotund and
Mary ii. were beaten. Inc hnaI was
strictly a sharpshooters' event, with
all of the first past the post" boys
going to BillOws strong and winding
up with all of the money. This horse
opened at 3 to l at some books and
before the layers had a chance to get
out the chalk enough money had been
wagered to send the horse to the post
a favorite
Officials of the jockey club are well
satisfied with the attendance during
the II days the races have been going
on, and what looked to be a losing
proposition for the stockholders az
first has turned out to be money
maker, provided the attendance this
afternoon lives up to expectations.
Plans are now under way to con-
duct a fall meeting at the Hawthorne
track, but no official information could
be obtained from the present jockey
club leaders, who intended to give a
30day meeting next season if every
thing goes well. They are satisfied
Chicagoans want racing under any
conditions, and the betting scheme as
worked out by local bookmaking in
terests has proven a success.

to show appreciation for Missouri hos
pitality in that manner, but-One can't
tell whatinel a parched tongue and
feYerish brow is liable 10 develop. The
Moliners were compelled to cease their
abuse of the ball, which was being
served in a very likable fashion by the
Messrs Burnham and Whitaker, in
the sixth inning, an agreement to that
effect having been made by the two
bosses before the game. You know in
order to get from Hannibal to Moline
it is necessary TO go by way of Toxic

wouldn't be any fun fer the boys to at
tempt such a long trip with late start
and then get out there and pastime for

In a military preparedness manual

In q military preparedness manual
written by Captain L. G. Andrews Of
the regular army under the supervi-
sion of General Leonard Wood, and
which is much quoted in certain cir
cles in disparagement Of volunteer
troops, there occurs this statement Of
one alleged evil Of the voluntary sys-
tenn Of service in the civil war: de
sertions by the hundreds and hundreds
Of thousands to return to their homes
or to re-enlist and thus get duplica-
ton Of the bounty" The facts as Of
fcially recorded in Washington are
that out OF about $4,000 enrolled in the
regular army III the civil war over 49,
GOO deserted, about - per cent; out Of
$4,000 colored volunteers 1850 de-
serted and out Of 100000 white vol
unteers 10000 deserted. So the total
assertions were 100000. But thou
sands of these assertions were only
technically so, for they took French
leave of one service to serve under an
other name in another unit. Again,
thousands voluntarily returned to their
places, and actual assertions for good
from the colors previous to Lees sur
render were little, IL any, above 100000.
