| BIG EVENT is PLANNED
BY CAMP LEWIS SOLDIERS
Will Give Military Exhibition Dec.
18th and 16th-Greatest Spec
OF Its Kind Ever Staged

Leavenworth fathers and mothers
whose sons have joined the colors
will be interested in the following:
The most gigantic spectacle of its
kind ever held in America, and one
that is not likely to be repeated, is
the military exhibition which will
take place Saturday and Sunday,
Dec. Is and 16 at Camp Lewis, the
great army cantonment of $1,000
acres, located near Tacoma WASH,
where the National Army men who
hail from this vicinity are now in
training. This stupendous military
exhibition, which will also include the
greatest horsemanship show in the
history of the west, is under the aus
pices of the Auxiliary Remount De-
pot, No. 331, Captain J. w. Jackson,
Q. NJ, U. S. R., commanding.
The event has been authorized by
the commanding general of the can
tonment and plans have been ap-
proved by the athletic council. All
organizations of the divisions will
participate in the exhibition.
This military exhibition has been
planned as a benefit for the $4,000
soldiers of the Ninety-first Division,
the proceeds to be used for their
athletic welfare, night schools and
other purposes that will make for
their physical and mental progress.
This stupendous event will be staged
in a continuous program from one
to five p. m. of the two days, to
give the public and the soldier boys
an opportunity to view it, for the
viccisitudes of war make it uncertain
whether or not another such event
can ever be held here again. The
boys also have seized upon this as
an occasion to invite their relatives
and friends from near and far to see,
on a magnificent scale, just what
they are doing, and more important,
to join in expressing the wonderful
spirit that prevails in the American
Army. s@l7 =
The announcement has been made
that the show will take place regard
less of weather conditions, whether
it rains or shines. Great bleachers
to acomodate 10000 spectators, are
now under construction, with tenta-
tive provisions for 10000 more -
There will be eight regimental
bands in the opening parade. They
will play America while the audience
and soldiers sing. The Remount
Depot has $3.50 horses and mules
and 5000 of these will pass thru the
arena at one time. All the colored
troops will parade in a body. A
pack train of Ga mules will give a
packing exhibition. A wonderful
sight is to be regimental rifle
drill to the accompaniment of mu-
sic. Machine gun drills, just like in
war; artillery, signal corps, ambu-
lance and first aid drills, engineer
ing demonstrations and fireworks
are also to take their place.
The horsemanship Show will be
one of the greatest events of its kind
ever held. Capt. Jackson has the as
sistance of about ITS of the best
riders in America, men who have
not only participated in the Miles
City, Pendleton and Cheyenne
roundups, but number who have
managed such events-including the
Irwin brothers of the Cheyenne
roundup and Sargent Billy Richard
son of the Miles City show.
The railroads plan on giving spec
ial reduced rates for the affair.

SOME INFORMATION ABOUT
NEW WAR SAVING STAMPS
Will Be on Sale for One Year-Will
Bring Two Billion-11'w0rth's
Share, $4,000

The war savings plan provided for
in the last bond act, of Sept "a,
1917, has been formulated and went
into operation last Monday, Dec. 8.
Postmaster Hamilton has received
a shipment of the war savings
stamps and will be glad to explain
the system to those contemplating
purchases. The school children are
especially urged to invest in these
stamps. To raise the two billion it
will be necessary to sell stamps to
the amount of $3.50 for every man
woman and child in the United
States.
The plan puts it easily in reach
of every American citizen to save
money and at the same time aid
the government by supplying it
with the sinews of war.
Stamps which are the Govern
ment's certificates of Indebtedness,
are to be sold in two denominations
thrift stamps, which cost 25 cents
each, and war savings stamps,
which cost from $4.12 to $4.23 each,
according to the month in which
they are purchased.
With the first thrift stamp the
purchaser is given thrift card
with spaces for 16 stamps. When
Is thrift stamps have been pur-
chased and affixed, the thrift card
can be exchanged for war savings
stamp by paying the difference
between the 81 the thrift stamps
represent and the current value of
war savings stamp, which in Decem-
Der, 1917, and January 1918, will be
S4.12 and thereafter l cent for each
succeeding month during the year
1918.
With the first war savings stamps
obtained by purchase or exchange
the owner is given a war savings
certificate containing spaces for 70
war savings stamps. If the ~
spaces are filled during December
1917, or January 1918, the cost to
the purchaser will be $4.12 for each
stamp, or $82.40 for the full certifi-
cate, and on the first day of January
1923, the government will redeem the
certificate at $100, giving the holder
a net profit of 1850 for the use of
his money.
Although these investments do not
mature until January l, 1928, pro-
vision is made whereby upon 10 days
written notice after January l, 1913,
such certificates will be redeemed
by postmasters at their cost to the
purchasers plus one cent a month
on each war savings stamp on the
certificate.
The thrift stamps do not bear in
terest. but the war savings stamps
bear 4 per cent, compounded quar-
terlv. The certificates will be dated
January 2, 1918, and mature Janu-
airy, 1, 1923.
Under the plan an amount as
small as 25 cents can be invested IN
a Government security,and as soon
as 81 has been thus invested an IN
terest bearing certificate of the
United States Government can be
secured.
The stamps and certificates can
be obtained from postoffices, banks
or trust companies, at most railroad
stations, stores, factories and many
other public places
Having the entire wealth of the
limited States back of them, and be-
ing redeemable as above stated
there is no danger of any deprecia-
+ion in value of the certificates.

REGISTERING FOR SERVICE

Some Of the advance instruc- lions from Washington relative tc the method of registering for Ser vice under the pending army bill, follows:
 The approval Of the new nation Gl army bill and the presidents proclamation hereunder will be CO incidental. All persons within the age limits prescribed will be re- quired to present themselves for registration at the customary voting place iu the voting precincts in which they have thesr permanent homes, on day which the Vrest dent will announce. The probability is that from 10 to 15 days will e lapse between approval of the bill and registration day.
 The governor of each state will be the e @ Of registration therein, The machinery of registration in each county is to be in charge of the sheriff, the county clerk and tht coun-y physician, acting ex-officio unless a different board shall be aD nounced by the governor.
 The sberiffs or other designated officials, immediately upon receivin notice from the governor, shall ap- point registrars for each voting pre- Cinct.
 "Ou the fifth day after the presi- dent has issued his proclamation clerks Of counties and cities of ov- CT 30,OOO must secure a supply of blanFs and copies of the registratiO regulations from the sheriff Or from the mayor Absentees and the sick will apply to such clerks to have their registration cards filled out, In no case shall such persons be given registration certificates. The are tc be instructed by the clerk that he burden Is on them to see tC it that that the cards reach the reg istrars of their home precincts by registration day.
 Persons absent from their home cOun' 'tes may register by mail. If so absent, a man should go to the clerk Of the county where he may be staying on the sixth day after the date Of the presidents procla- nation.
 Persons too sick to present them selves for registration must send a competent person to the county or city clerk on the sixth day after the issuing of the proclamation. The clerk will give instructions for reg istratiCn,"

GOVERNMENT TO BAR
 EXCESSIVE VAR PROFITS
# Prices Are Too High Uncle Sam Can Take Over and 0per-
 ate Plants.

The government has invoked for the first time It's drastic powers to strike a deathblow at cyorbitant war profits. Under authority of the last naval ap- propriatiOu bill a manufactures was directed to furnish large order of war supplies at a price fixed by the govern ment, fur lower than the figure yOfun- tarily submitted. If the order is not obeyed the plant will be taken over and operated by the government
 It Is understood that the concern against which these statutes have been invoked refused to meet the govern nents requirements as to price when he orders were rendered originally md In the regular way. So far as known this is the only case of the kind yet produced by the present emergency.
 European governments are paying an average Of 10 per cent profit on war materials purchased In the United States. It was asserted authoritatively that the government of the United States Intends 10 buy It's own supplies at less than that rate of profit to the seller. The law Invoked Is section 8 of the last naval appropriation bill, as follows:
 The president Is authorized to require the owner or occupier of any factory fin which the ships or war material are built or produced to place at the disposal of the United States the whole or any part of the output of such factory and, within the limit of the amounts appropriated therefor, to deliver such output or parts thereof In such quantities and at such times as may be specified in the order at such reasonable price as shall be deter mined by the president.

the shoe industry has revealed that
the retail stores have been flooded

One dissatisfied customer lodged

close up their shops and not sell
any more cloth and paper until the
public had digested their wrath.
