Of h state of war against Germany had

1t is now little less than three

THOROUGH PREPARATION.
American Sammies in France have
had the benefit of training under both
French and British veterans. The men
now in the trenches and now serving
guns side by side with General Pc
tain's Poilus probably do not feel I'M
accustomed to conditions there. Every
effort has been to make their prepara-
ton for the actual fighting line as
realistic as possible. Trenches have
been dug: batteries have been con-
stantly practicing-and all this under
the instruction of French and British
soldiers who have been through the
mill
France and America alike will thrill
with the thought that American SOL
diers are now actually where the bull
let's fly beside French fighting men. 1t
is Americas repayment for the Mar
quis De La Fayette and his brave
Frenchmen who unselfishly and cour-

with Washington's revolutionary war
riors.
DATE NOT MENTIONED.
The United Press dispatch as re-

when American soldiers actually went
to the fighting line and took their
places ready for fighting. It describes
the usual method of sending troops to
trenches under cover of night in order
that their presence might not be made
known to the enemy. The rolling

Pegler means that the American bat

HOW TO SELECT SEED WHEAT

Why not unite upon MARQUIS, and cut
out the others? Blue Stem and Fife are
very good but it is better to grow the same
kind and get better price.
Screen your seed and fan out all trash,
immature kernels, weed seeds, wild oats,
etc., leaving the seed to be planted the
heaviest you have, with an equal amount
Of plant food in each kernel, which will
cause it to mature at the same time, max
ing less waste at harvest. It all ought to
get ripe at the same time.
Examine your seed closely to see whether
It contains bunt or sinking smut and treat
your seed with formaldehyde before sowing.
How much Of your seed will grow? It is
easy to test it. Take an ordinary piece of
blotting paper, wet it, fold it over in the
middle, to open like book, count 100 seeds
just as they run into the blotting paper, put
strip of rag about ten inches long in the
fold of the blotter, wrap it up in piece of
butter paper Creased paper) wet the whole
thing, then hang the wick in a glass of
water like lamp, put the test on top of the
glass, do not let it dry out or freeze. After
six or seven days, open it and count SO
many kernels strong, so many weak, SO

many dead; then let it grow for a few days
on top of the glass and see if the sprouts will
grow two inches long before they wther.
This is important this year, because wheat
is badly shriveed and contains little plant
food. Take no chances on your seed wheat.
If the seed you have is all right you are
fortunate. If it does not test 80 to $3.50
strong you are in danger; find some neigh
Dor, if you can. who has good wheat enough
to supply seed for you and sell the seed that
you intended to SOW. Ask your County
Agricultural Agent or the Agricultural
Teacher in your High School to help you
locate MARQUIS seed in your neighbor-
hood, or ask your seed man TO get it for
you, but be sure he honestly tells you where
it is grown. Do not get it too far away from
home. If the seed man cannot supply you
to your satisfaction, apply to your mill or
elevator. All of them have agreed in this
territory to locate proper seed wheat for
their customers If they cannot supply YOU

Cash Discounts VS..
Credit and Premiums

The cost of living is very high and the average
person complains about the advancing OF prices.
We have been requested by over one-half OF our
customers to adopt some system whereby meats and
groceries be sold cheaper the only possible way is
to sell for cash only. This will save the customer
who pays cash daily or every month, from paying
the bills of customers who never pay their bills al
so the interest it costs to carry book accounts and
general credit system of collection, etc. We don't
think it fair now, did, to compel the good cash
customer to pay high prices for what he buys and
pays for because the merchant trusts and accumu-
lates bad accounts which he cannot help collect
if he does general credit business. You, who pay
cash. must pay that bill-nobody deny that.
The Scenic City Market has been with you eight
years and our years of experience have brought out
this change, so beginning Feb |, 1917, we pay five
per cent on the dollar, this means that for every
dollar you spend here give you back five cents,
not in trade, but actual cash. it is mmaterlal to us
whether you pay cash or settle your account every
Saturday of each week you get your five cents re-
fund. We believe you would rather have the cash
than premium that you do not need, and we guar
antee to save you many dollars on your daily pur-
chases We will have coupon books from $3.50 to
$50 in size. Hoping for customers cooperation
we remain yours for share of your trade
WE ALSO GIVE STAMPS, BUT TAKE CASH
DISCOUNT AND SAVE MONEY.

Is the variety which has the best
milling qualities and makes more
and better flour, therefore brings
the highest price to the farmers.
The elevators and mills will pay you
more because the wheat is worth
more. AS a rule, unless we have
just such year as last year, MAR
OUTS brings better results because:
1t natures from five to ten days
earlier than other wheat, avoiding
so much danger from winds and
drouth. We may never have an
other year like last year.

MARQUIS WIFE, AT

Being earlier, Marquis escapes rust,
which attacks later varieties.
It does not shell out and waste so
badly as Blue Stem, Red Fife, or
Velvet Chaff, during harvest. This
is true of it even when over-ripe.
The straw is shorter and sitter,
hence in dry year it suffers less
from drouth and in wet year it
suffers less from lodging.
1t contains lots of gluten and the
gluten is much superior to that of
any other wheat, therefore is bet
ter milling wheat.

GILLEY GETS NEW CAR
LOAD OF CHEVROLETS

Gilley's Garage received last week
new carload of Chevrolet cars of
the very latest 1918 model. The new
Chevrolet is a fine looking car and
is no little improvement over last
years model. The new cars are E.
quipped with sloping wind shields,
one-man tops and demountable rim
with an extra rim on the rear for
an extra tire. One roadster came
with the shipment. The price OF
the Chevrolet this year is $500 for
the roadster and $715 for the tour
ing car. This is the opening price
fod 1913 and they are more than
likely to be higher before the first
of the year. Anyone who is in the
market for car would do we'll to
call at Gilley's and look them over.
If automobiles raise in accordance
with high material and high labor
ChevroletS are sure to be higher in
the spring and with the increasing
demand for these cars, deliveries
may not be as prompt as might be
desired. Those who buy this fall
will not only save money but may
be saved the inconvenience of wait
ing for a car next spring.

CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Oct. 1O.-

CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Oct. 10.-
\ thousand men out of the first
$4,000 to arrive at the cantonment
lave been rejected by the medical
officers and will be sent home.
This is the statement of Lieut..
Col. j. G. Knubenshue, mastering
officer, who completed the initial
muster of the first and second con-
lingents today.
Col Knubenshue declared that
the percentage of reflections was a
reflection on the work done by the
examining physicians of the local
boards.
"They have passed hundreds of
men who are obviously unfit for
service" he said. "This has made
our work here much more diff
cult, and will hamper us in rapidly
training the new men,"
The men who have been found
incapacitated for service are large
ly sufferers from bad eyesight, tu-
berculosis and brain affections. A
number of them have been sent to
the Western state hospital for the
insane, and about 400 are now in
the military hospitals here.
