over 81 900 is being handed out
in checks this week to the $50 men,
bers of the Abilene National bank s
Christmas Saving club. This is an
increase of 35 per cent over last year
and indicates the popularity of this
method of saving The members re-
ceive their checks at the bank and
it will make many happy homes.
The Christmas Savings Club for
1918 is now being formed and the
members will be made glad next holt
day time. 1t is fine tribute to the
thrift of the community that so large
a sum has been saved during the
year.
OF course, few will spend all their
savings for gifts and the savings de-
partment of the bank is receiving
many accounts of those who realize
the benefit of having savings ac-
count and bank book to make it easy
to add whatever sums are possible
during the year.
The Christmas Savings Club is a !
great success and indications are that |
yet larger numbers will take advant-
age of it for the coming year, begin

of everything. You see when the
bugle blew beans we lined up
without our mess pans as we usually
did, but lined up and marched into
the mess hall just like we did in
Abilene, and gee, but the tables look
ed pretty. Each fellow had two of
these paper plates just piled up with
stuff and all kinds of fruit, cigars
and cigarettes in the center of the
tables.
We all stood up at attention and |
bowed our heads while Sergeant |
Kaufman asked the blessing.
While he was doing that you could
hear the boys gulp down the water
that formed in their throats. Ha,

NAVY CALLS AVIATORS.
Section Open to Men OF Fl to 30
Years of Age.

The aviation section Of the navy
opened today for enlistments for
men between 21 and 35 years.
Landsmen for the quartermaster,
carpenter, machinist, blacksmith and
coppersmith mates are sought. Pro-
motion is rapid but the recruit does
not necessarily step up to the rank
of flyer nor is his enlistment as a
landsman to be taken as a stepping
stone to the commission OF flyer. The
given is the usual ply
steal examination of the navy and
not the examination for aviators.
Abilene boys can enlist at Salina.

For some time it appeared as If II.
G. Kyle would resign his position on
the local board but everything didn't
go so smoothly. Colonel Rain in a
letter to Mr.. Kyle, stated that serv-
ing on the local board was almost as
compulsory as a man being drafted.
Mr.. Kyle has other matters that need
his attention, but he can't "evade the
draft" and so he will continue to
be member Of the local board.

Anticipating the passage by this Legis-

Edges plan for a state highway tax of
one mill, or 81 ON each $1,000, for the
next hve years, Senator Carlton B. Pierce,
of onion County, one of the tax experts
of the state, is preparing a bill for the
equalization of taxes as between the
counties. 1t will be one of a series of
tax reform measures to be introduced by
him. At present the County Tax Boards
have power to equalize assessments as
between taxing districts, and Senator
Pie ce say; that with a state tax in force,

satisfied that much saving in money has
been the result, as well as increased eff

against him in the suit brought by the

must pay his fare hereafter. The decis-
