HOSPITAL UNIT MAY NOT GO
ABROAD UNTIL SPRING.

Enlisted men, nurses and business
women of Hospital Unit No. 40 are
being advised by DR.. David Barrow
to continue with their regular work
as if they were not under waiting
orders of the War Department. On
the completion of the unit a number
of the enlisted men and women who
gave up their regular positions,
have since been calling at DR.. Bar
rows office daily, to see if he has re-
ceived orders.
Information has been given out
from his Office that it might be sew
eral months before any more definite
orders were received regarding the
calling of the unit into service. The
unit is ready to the minutest detail,
and has been reported so to the War
Department. The equipment, which
the Red Cross chapters of Central
Kentucky undertook to furnish, is
ready to the last bandage These
supplies are at present being packed
in permanent boxes in the Parish
duu W. NC StOIc Gu Ill Iuc
floor of the old Leader building until
they are called for.
When the orders come, DR.. Barrow
has explained, there will be ample
time for the business men and women
to resign, and for the nurses to wind
up any cases on which they may be
engaged. Therefore the nurses are
advised to make engagements, and
the business men and women, who
have resigned from their positions
to obtain others and students are ad-
vised to continue their college
courses.
Some of the young men, who wish
to see immediate service, have asked
If they were at liberty to enlist in
other services in the army, but these
are notified that they are now men,
bers of the United States Army, and
it is out of their power to make
change.

THE TOWN THAT PRODUCED A
CONVERSATIONAL

When Miss Jeanette Rankin was
elected to serve her native State in
Congress, for the average citizen east
of the Mississippi she put Missoula
on the map. The lady from Montana
was the lady from Missoula and Mr..
Average Citizen who heretofore had
regarded Montana as State of sheep
and cowboys began to wonder about
this town that had produced the first
Congresswoman.
The city itself is very proud of its
distinction, prouder than it Is of its
wonderful scenery or the University
of Montana. Other towns have seen
cry and State universities, but there
is only one jeanette Rankin.
Strictly speaking Miss Rankin was
not born in Missoula proper but on a
ranch" about six miles south of the
city, one of the fertile farms that
surround the town. The Bitter Root
valley is noted for it's fruit farms.
Apples and pears grow to fabulous
perfection, according to the natives.
The city lies on the Main Divide
of the Rockies. The mountains rise
abruptly from the level plains. Mis-
soula is typical western with typi-
cal western industries = mining
numbering and ranching. Recently
a sugar beet factory has been start
ed near the city. Missoula hopes to
be the sugar city" OF, the west. But
it is doubtful If the town will ever
have q stronger claim to fame than
it gained by producing the first Con-
gresswoman

HAVE LITTLE CHANCE FOR &C.
TIVE SERVICE.

Probably not more than half the
men in officers training camps scat
tered throughout the country have
any hope of getting immediate active
service with the new National Army.
Not more than that proportion of
the 1900 men in training at Fort
Myer have active service in pros
pect, and the same ratio is said to
prevail at all the other camps.
All those who pass the test are
practically sure of getting their COM
missions in the Oficers' Reserve
Corps, but a good half of these will
be put on the inactive list waiting
for the call to the colors.
This is said to be caused by the
fact that the first camps turned out
enough officers for the troops now in
environments, and the remainder of
the new officers will not be needed
until there are new drafts.

OVER 300 IN SAVINGS CLUB.
Citizens Savings Bank Has Large
Membership in Their Christmas
Savings Club.

The following is clipped from the
Waterloo Times Tribune in their is
sue of December oath 1916. This
Christmas Savings Club is being put
into practice by the Citizens Saw
ings Bank of DEBORAH, and over 800
people have Joined. Next Christmas
this will mean that over $4,000
will be mailed out in Christmas
checks to the members of the
Christmas Club in DEBORAH. Surely
this will make good many happier
homes next Christmas.
"Since the Inauguration of the
Christmas Savings Club in Waterloo
the officials realize the Importance IF
advertising. Formerly the bankers
considered it dad form to adver-
tise. Things have changed since
the year 1912, when the savings club
was first started by the Harrisburg
Trust Company, at Harrisburg, Pa.
The Christmas savings plan has been
approved by the American Bankers
Association and they realize that adj
vertising is a necessity in increasing
Christmas savings funds.
This form Of saving was started
in Waterloo by the Commercial Ma
tional Bank and the Waterloo Saw
ings Bank. Both institutions have
advertised extensively. At the pres
ent time they have spent money in
decorating their places of business
appropriately for the season.
In 1913, there was paid out in
Waterloo $36,556.97 to people who
deposited money in the Christmas
savings department. The amount
paid out in 1914 was nearly dou-
bled. In 1915 members of the saw
ings club received S12S,142.S9.
while this year they received $143,-
1885. The total amount paid out
since the Club was formed is S375,-
1885.
More than 5000 people will en-
joy Christmas this year because of
this Club. The Christmas Savings
Club is an organization which does
away with the worry of where to get
the money for presents. The mem
bers know weeks and months in ad-
vance just how much they will have
TO spend for Christmas.
The Club is open to all and is of
advantage to young as well as old.
There are several different forms in
which the money can be paid into the
Club. All of these are arranged SO
that only small amount is paid into
the club at a time. There is no
chance of the members losing the
money which they pay in. If the
payments are not kept up the mem
Der gets the money back at the end
OF the year. If they are kept up the
payee gets certain per cent of in
terst and all money paid in.
Much of the money which is paid
out to the club members is used for
other things. 1t is one way for saw
ing FOR taxes, etc. No matter what
the money is used for, there is no
better way of saving money. The
time comes when everyone needs {.
lite extra money.
