pekan, who has the honor of being
an orderly to General Wright
There are about 5000 men encamp-
ed at FIT. Sill now, but arrangements
are being made to take care of 40
900. According to the Topeka war
photographer, the boys are learning
what real intensive training is and
are putting in full days in their en-
deavor to become efficient soldiers.
Here is the daily routine he says the
boys go thru:
Up at 5 O'Clock and given Is min
utes to straighten up their hunks.
Then comes 25 minutes of setting up
exercises, or, in the language of the
boys, the morning army pill.
Breakfast is followed by a hike to
Texas by most of the men and then
all hands drill until IL O'Clock. Din
ner is followed by police duty and at
l o'clock the boys again go to drill
and are kept busy until 4. From
to 6 the soldiers are allowed to relax
and to whet their appetites for sup
per After supper every mothers son
must devote two hours to study and
the days work is over by o'clock.
Lawton is enjoying a prosperity
never before known, Mr.. Willard says.
So many people are pouring into the
town that it is almost impossible to
get any kind of accommodations and
rents have scared to the sky in one
bound little cottages renting for as
I high 500 a month.

General Martin" Mr.. Willard said,
has gotten his machinery in motion
at his new quarters and is lapidly ar
ranging al. details for the reception of
the troops that will sooa begin to
move from the state. He has picked
out one of the most suitable army
camp sites l ever saw. and the Kan
sans will have a big advantage over
the Missourians when the soldiers of
the two states get into their new army
homes.
Mr.. Willard has made al 'Hngements
with Gen. H. H. Wright. commandant
of the whole F't. Sill reservation. to
open up a complete studio in which
he expects to employ several men. In
addition to taking pictures for the
Kansas Historical society and for the
individual troops. he has been in
formed by General Wright that he
will be called upon to MAKE large
order of pictures for the government.
Camp Busy Place.
Everything is booming on the
camp sites" Mr.. Willard said today.
Something like $500 carpenters are
at work on the cantonment buildings
and everything down to shower baths
will be completed in shot time Not
only is the camp site a sanitary one
but the landscape is a beautiful one
and the soldiers will have more ideal
surroundings than could have been
gotten at FIT. Riley"

is TRIPLE STACKER?
Man Accused of Dodging Army in
Canada and United States.

Chicago, Ill, Aug. 31.-Department
of justice agents today were calling
Emanuel Stern a triple Stacker"
Stern. who is a Canadian subject,
left New York last spring shortly after
the Dominion authorities had asked
him for data on his eligibility for
military service, it is said.
Coming to Chicago, he married Miss
Jessie Kahn At that time, President
Wilson was believed to have favored
81 years as the maximum age for con-
scription. On the marriage license,
Sterns age is given as 80.
On registration day Stern insisted
he was 30. His wife became suspicious
that he had married her to avoid con-
scription. and so informed the govern
ment authorities. Stern was arrested,
but today still maintained he is 80.

BOARD is EASIER
IA Out of 10 Given Exemptions
in County Today.
Local Tribunal Follows Rule of
the Appeal Board.

Follow g out the prece,isLts of the
district appeal board and the rulings
of President Wilson, the Shawnee
county exemption board vranted ex-
emptlonS to fourteen of the nineteen
men who appeared before il today.
The proportion is reversed from that
of a week ago when the original quota
was examined. AT that time about
one man in three was exempted. To-
day one in three was accepted fon
service.
When the board sat before, its
members understood that exemptions
should be granted only when it ap-
peared absolutely necessal:-. For in
stance it granted no exemptions be-
cause of dependent famil es unless it
appeared there was no means of sup
porting the family with the head of
the household in the army.
The district board exemL-eC a great
number of men held for service by
the local board. They were exempted
because of dependent families. Today
the local board is following the lead
of the district board. Those who had
passed the examination bu- who were
exempted today because Of depend
ent are:
Keith Colt, Rt, p. Topeka.
Silas Moran, Auburn.
William Lambert, Valencia

WHY the Change

Two worthy reasons prompted us to in.
augurate this Help YOURSELF system of
distributing groceries. Never since the
Gays of the Civil war; has there been such
a tremendous demand for relief from high
prices WE ARE CUTTING PRICES TO
ABSOLUTE ROCK BOTTOM. We have
eliminated every unnecessary item of over
head expense in order to make these lower
prices possible. Delivery has been discon-
tinued. the greatest excess expense people
have to pay today. Second-the question
of quick service has arisen. The automo-
bile and the street car. have revolntionized
methods of marketing. You want to get
your supplies in hurry and be on your
way. Nearly every person upon whom rests
the responsibility, prefers to come to the
market and select household necessities
There ia a double inducement when prices
warrant coming after the goods
Consequently we have discontinued De,
livery TO CUT COSTS. We have eliminated
all credit transactions TO CUT COSTS. We
have discarded the old method of clerk and
order book TO CUT COSTS and enable
you to select your own articles and be on
your way NO WASTE OF MONEI-NO
WASTE OF TIME.
Come in. GET ACQUAINTED with the
location of the different commodities. ASK
questions of the Floor Manager, but Help
Yourself''-don't wait on anybody.
