ARMY WIVES WON'T SUFFER
Half of Each Married Mans Money
To His Family
In Addition the Government Viii
Give an Allowance to the Wife
and Further Amount for
Each Child

Give am Allowance to the Wife
and Further Amount for
Each Child
Topeka, October 27.-The wives
and children of the soldiers of Amer
lea are not going to suffer for the
necessaries of life by reason of the
husbands and fathers going away
And the husbands and fathers are
not going to be permitted to squan-
der their pay checks while in the ser
vice. One-half of it goes to the wife
and children.
This is the order of the govern
ment, received by Governor Capper
today. The order announced that
one-half the pay of all soldiers with
dependents would be deducted by the
government and forwarded to those
dependents. The government has
worked out a plan of compensation
for dependents up to $50 month
for each family of a soldier
This compensaitno will be paid by
the government in addition to the
amounts deducted from the pay OF
the soldiers. If there IS q dependent
wife only, she will receive SIS Z
month from the government If {
wife and one child S25; wife and two
children $3.50, and SIS month fol
each additional child up to the max
imum of $50 a month. Where there
is child and no wife the allowance
! is S5 a month for the first, $12.5C
for two, $50 for three, $50 for four
and then s. additional for each child
| If a parent is dependent the allow
ance is SO a month, $50 for tive
parents If there is a grandchild
grandparent, brother or sister, tn,
allowance is S. month for each one
The payment of this compensation
will stop much of the material hard
ships of the war and will prevent tn
begging for help which many womel
were forced to do last year when tn
National Guard organization was sen
to the border, leaving women an
children destitute.
If your husband is not sendin
your share, notify Harry Freese an
at a small expense, his pension al
torney in Washington, will have you
share sent you each month.

The following unique article taken
from a Georgia paper may be of some
interest to the readers of the Free
Press:
There have been a number of puZ-

to solve the problems of this war.
Many have succeeded, the most no
ticeabe of which was the use of the
reigning soverigns in warning states
and current dates to form a total of
1917.
A reader of the Times Enterprise
picked out another which has been
recently promulgated and she be
lieves it would be interesting. 1t is
as follows:
The Kaiser is the man who started
the war; Servia is the country where
the war was started.
There are six letters in each of
these words and if written together

halves will also spell KAISER" and

Guilty of Treason?

The United Fruit company has
been very busy trying to explain why
it wanted to dump a steamer of 3d.
600 punches of bananas into Boston
harboF. 1t appears from what has
been said on the subject that the COM
pany had been in the habit of doing
such things. The course it has pur-
sed has been to make a report to the
board of health that the cargo was
unfit for food and the health author
tiles issued the necessary order for its
destruction. This time the board sent
an Inspector who actually made an
inspection and reported that go per
cent, of the cargo was in good condi-
ton. Of course the fruit company
was only interested in the pure food
question and never took into con-
sideration the effect that dumping
| the cargo into the sea would have on
prices.
If the company believed that its
contention was true, that the bananas
were not fit for human food, then it
should be indicted for treason, for it
sent several cargoes of the fruit to a
training camp of soldiers who eagerly
ate them. But nothing happened to
the troops which proved that the fruit
was good. The Christian Sciencc
Monitor, says "The long and short
of the story is that, simply because
the local Authorities were not com
lpliant In this case, most of a cargo
of about 3,7S0,000 bananas have
gone for consumption rather than in
to the sea. No one who mas paid at
tention to the matter of food destruc-
ton during the last two or three
years will deny that enormous
amounts have been destroyed for the
purpose of maintaining prices. I'm
der food control that will be dan
gerous sort of business in the future.
