A man may allot such portions of his
pay as he desires for the support Of his
family or relatives. He may deposit his
savings with any quartermaster in
sums of not less than So. The quarter
master will furnish to each depositor
q book giving record of his deposits.

ment and will be paid to him on pre-
sentation of his deposit book.
The rate of interest allowance is 4

method of saving money which, many

Saving money is not only good in it.
self but is q sign that you are concen-
trating your time and energy on your
military duties; that you are really
playing the game.
The majority of the men who join
the National army are old enough and
have sufficient good sense and self-con-
troll to conduct themselves properly,
both on duty and OF duty, without Spe
cial advice or supervision. However,
some suggestions may prove helpful.
A man in uniform is always regard
ed, whether he wishes it or not, as a
representative of the army to which
he belongs. See to it that you conduct
yourself in such way to add your bit,
not only to your own reputation, but to
the reputation of the army and of the
country.
The use that man makes of his
time off duty is good test of his char
acter and of his capacity for growth.
The good soldier is self-restrained.
Don't spend your time repeating indie
cent stories. They add nothing what
ever to your standing, either with the
men to whom you tell them or with
your officers. Avoid boisterousness, vul-
garity and profanity.
This doesn't mean at all that you
should keep yourself in the background
or that you should fail to be a good
tinker" Let your personality stand
out. Broaden your influence by every
proper method. But use your person
atty and your influence to help the
men in your own squad and company
carry on their work and prepare as
quickly as possible for the big task
ahead of you.
Save some of your spare time for
study. The manuals and drill regula-
tions will grow more and more interest
ing TO you as you become more familiar
with your new duties. Memorize some
of the important passages. Make your
self an authority on everything that
pertains to company drill.
These are simple rules hat will help
any man. whether in or out of the
army, to make himself liked and re-
spected. They are easy rules to OBJ
serve. Follow them, and you will add
greatly to your enjoyment of army life
and to your chances for promotion.

PLAYING THE GAME.

There is a gripping interest about
the soldiers life that makes a strong
appeal to vigorous Americans. This is
doubly true in time of war when the
soldier has serious object in view
and gives his whole mind to his new
duties.
You will find this interest growing as
you advance. New scenes and associ-
ates will bring you new point of view.
You will be less wrapped up than you
have been in many purely personal
questions. You will cut loose from
many Of the petty details which tend
to smother a mans individuality. You
will devote more time to thinking.
The healthy good fellowship Of the
camp also cannot fail to stimulate you.
Thousands of men drawn from all
walks Of life cannot be thrown sudden
ly together without bringing to light
many qualities previously unknown.
You will probably become better &C
quainted with yourself than you have
ever been before.
In order to get the most out of this
new life you must devote yourself to 1t
heart and soul. A good start is half the
battle in making your way in the army.
Even If you are not now much interest
ed in military affairs-if you are en-
tering the service, not because of per-
sonal inclination. but solely because it
is one of your obligations as a citizen
you are going to become keenly in
terested after you once get into the
swing and spirit Of the army. This
will be true in at least ninety-nine
cases out of every hundred. RecOg-
nize it now and play the game hard
from the very start.
While the men in the National army
are serving at the call of duty and not
for money, nevertheless every one will
be paid more than enough to take care
Of all necessary expenses. These ex-
penses are very slight. Clothing, food,
and transportation are provided by the
government. In addition, the private
soldier receives $50 per month while he
Is in the United States and $33 per
month while he Is abroad. Following
is table which shows the pay for
some of the higher noncommissiOned
ranks:

MARKET CONTINUES
 ITS RAPID CLIMB
General List Closes Strong at Net Advance of 46 to 83 Point Offerings Were Gradually Absorbed by Liverpool.

New York, Sept. Godfather nerv- ous and irregular early fluctuations were followed by another rapid and excited advance in the cotton market here today. December contracts sold up from 21.10c to 2212c, or 89 points above last nights closing, and closed at 22.05c, with the general list clos ing strong at a net advance of 46 to S3 points.
 Trading was comparatively quiet early. The extent of yesterdays ad- vance seemed to have created some reactionary sentiment, or partially re- vived bearish confidence in some quarters around the ring. The open- ing was 2 to 18 points higher, but the market met considerable cotton, which included Southern selling, as well as realizing or scattering local pressure. Early reports from the Southwest said that spots were offering more freely in Texas and Louisiana. These advices encouraged the early selling and prices gradually sagged off to 21.33c for October and 21 03c for Jan uary, with December and later months showing net losses of about 13 to II points.
 October held well up to last nights closing figures, however. and the strength of this position, although at tributed largely to the difficulty of replenishing local stocks had a sym pathetic effect on the later months. Offerings were gradually absorbed by the buying of Liverpool or trade houses and toward the middle of the afternoon the market became very active and excited on a renewal of general covering, Wall street and western buying. Closing prices were a few points off from the best under realizing.
