Y. NC. A. SOLDIER FUND

One of the next things for the ben
eft of the soldier boys which will de-
mand the attention of the good people
of Kansas is the Y. NJ. c. A. fund of
S525, 900 which it is proposed to raise
for the purpose of carrying on the
work at the various camps and forts
throughout the state and nation. The
national movement calls for thirty five
million dollars and the sum quoted
above is the allotment for Kansas.
Several of the influential business men
of the state have volunteered to de-
vote several weeks of their time to
campaign to raise this amount and
the state has been divided into four
teen districts and meetings will be
held throughout the various counties
of the districts and the amount will
be raised in this manner. Trego county
is in the tenth district and the amount
of it's apportionment is $3.50. This
can easily be secured if meetings are
held at various places throughout the
county The information does not say
when the meetings will be held in this
county or who the speakers will be,
but it is likely that our citizens can
be expected to be called upon now at
any time and should be ready to con-
tribute literally. The Y. M. c. A. work
is not the same as the Red Cross nor
is it the same as the Recreation
Hall" fund but all know that it is
a worthy and responsible cause.

COMMENT
:" n

I notice that young lady school
teacher~at Hill City is offering ten
cents each for live frogs brought to
her at the school house. She does not
state that she is about to start frog
farm but it looks like an enterprises
young lad ought to have been able to
have done a good business had she
made her offer earlier in the season.
1 do not expect to ever have much
use for munitions of war but it looks
a little strange to me that a lower
price should have been placed on the
produce of the farmer which is only
a very small part of the war expense,
and that the price on munitions of war
should be allowed to continue in their
aerial flight. The government should
take charge of every munition plant
in the United States and tell the oper-
ators at just what price it would buy
the products.

DOES 1T PAY TO ADVERTISE?

Some business men believe that it
doesn't pay to advertise in the local
paper. Others believe in advertising
but not when business is dull Still
others think there is no use in adver-
tising when business is good As
matter of fact, advertising, real ad-
vertising, pays when business is good
and especially when it is dull. When
possible customers are spending only
what they must, they will look more
carefully for bargains than when their
pockets are full of money and more
is coming in all the time. Right here
is where the shrewd merchant hus-
ties for the trade harder than ever.
The greatest business man in the
United States are unanimous in their
approval of advertising, especially
advertising in newspapers. They have
built up their big business by constant
and careful advertising and to make
the statement that advertising doesn't
pay is making the admission that you
are lacking some of the things that
go to make a good merchant; that you
do not know how to advertise or that
you lack the hustling spirit that push
es one man ahead of another in the
business world.
The store that does not advertise
may hold its own for time but in
the long run it will lose out to the
one which advertises, providing the

I have noticed some fellows who
really get worried and have the blues
when they are out of work. Another
fellow will let his wife take in wash
ing to help tide over the dull spell.
heard fellow say one time that
"you ought to hang on with bull dog
tenacity" That's all right, but have
seem some bull dogs hang on until
they were kicked off.
True patriotism consists in obey
ing the laws of the land in time of
peace as well as in war, with true
love for your country and not for the
amount of profit which can be deriv-
ed from it.
According to late information the
"news butcher" on the Union Pacific
system will be CONSPICUOUS by his
absence from and after this date.
Scarcity of man and disposition to
assist in conserving resources is the
cause.
Part of the latest dope sent out
from the food conservation headquar-
tiers, advises the people to eat corn
meal. At the same time the price of
corn meal is considerably higher than
that of wheat flour and the humble
citizens are not going to eat it as a
matter of economy but may take a
little of it occasionally as a change
in feed or from patriotic motives. The
thing the average citizen cannot un-
derstand is why corn meal sells at
such high price.

October 1917, broke one weather
record. The twenty-ninth was the
coolest night recorded in forty-four
years. The temperature went to Is
degrees, which is the lowest temper
ature for October since 1878, when
it went to 16 1-2 degrees, and 1869
when the temperature was Is degrees.
The rainfall for the entire month was
1.35 inches. The average minimum
was 40.4 and the average maximum
temperature GIT, making the average
temperature for the month 51O6.

loaded team is not expected to give
the road unless it is impossible for
the other to turn out.
Turn to the left when passing a

on the other hand the slower vehicle
must turn to the right and give half

A TRIP TO CAMP FUNSTON

If you are the least bit sceptica1
with regard to the condition and treat
ment of our boys at Camp Funston, it
will be weH worth your time to visit
just one day with them and thus dis
pei any doubt you might have had
concerning their welfare.
The boys from Trego and Graham
counties, as well as all the others en-
camped there, are all comfortably
quartered in clean steam heated bar
racks, equipped with good spring cots,
sufficient bedding, clothing and shoes,
and they say the only things lacking
is their field equipment and some of
the boys in the Depot Brigade are
still carrying wooden guns, but these
are ample protection against all the
enemies they have there, for they
simply haven't any, as they are a
courteous, friendly bunch and have
made many new friends.
And are they contented ?-They are
more than contented; they are en-
Enthusiastically happy, and their bright
rugged faces, good physical condition,
gives evidence of this fact, for all the
boys we visited (and we saw nearly
all of them from Graham and Trego)
say they have gained from eight to
twelve pounds since entraining.
Occasionally, one would hear COM
plant concerning food, but in such
cases it is because a few of the COM
panies have incompetent cooks, for
we had the pleasure of dining with
Co. NJ. 353 Infantry and the menu
was as follows, you can judge for
yourselves Chicken pot pie, roasted
sweet potatoes, rice and gravy,
creamed peas, white bread, good cof
fee, with cream and sugar, apple pie
and cream cheese
We noted the absence of butter, but
the boys say that one soon becomes
accustomed to it and don't consider it
necessary to complete a meal after
all. That which appealed to ones ap-
petite more than all else, was that
the food was well prepared, clean and
wholesome, and those desiring sec
ond helping had simply to pass up
their tin and have it replenished
Immediately.

one day and the wonderful system
Uncle Sam has when he starts pre-
pairing, would take the entire weeks
issue, but would like to use a little
more space in stating that the Y. M.
c. A. in the camps and the Community
Buildings in the surrounding towns
are big source of comfort and enjoy
ment to our boys and are well patron
lied at all hours. Then too they are
soliciting funds for large community
hall to be erected in the near future
which will have ample room for win
ter sports and amusements and for
II those who will visit the camp
Some of the local boys have been
here asking our help toward this fund
and if you haven't already subscribed
do so at once, show the boys we are
with them to the very end, and if it
is impossible for you to visit them in
camp write, send them papers from
home, cakes, cookies or any sweet
meats, as these are the things that the
boys long for most.
If you would know more go to the
camp any day, see and hear for your
self and come home with a better
feeling concerning our boys who are
preparing themselves for this world
conflict, and fully realizing within
yourself that we are indeed in war.
