LESSON NO. II.
PLAYING THE GAME.

soldier (but not before) the total
amount of his deposits will be enter
ed on his finaol statement and will be
paid to him on presentation of his de-
post book.
The rate of interest allowance Is 4
per cent. This is one convenient
method Of saving money which many
soldiers will desire to USE 1t Is
easier to save in the Army than it is
in civil life.
Saving money is not only good in
itself but is sign that you are con-
centrating 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-control to conduct themselves
properly, both on duty and off duty
without special advice or supervision
However, some suggestions may
prove helpful.
A man in uniform is always re-
garded, whether he wishes it or not;
as representative of the army to
which he belongs. See to it that you
conduct yourself in such "a way to ado
your bit, not only to your own repu.
tation, but to the reputation OF the
Army and of the country.
Making Use Of Spare Time
The use that man makes of his
time off duty is a good test of his
character and Of his capacity fol
growth. The good soldier is self-re
strained. Don't spend your time re-
peating indecent stories. They ado
! nothing whatever to your standing
either with the men to whom you tel
them or with your officers. Avoit
boisterousness, vulgarity, and pro-
family.
This doesn't mean at all that vol
should keep yourself in the back
ground or that you should fail to be 9
good mixer" Let your personality
stand out. Broaden your influence
by every proper method. But ust
your personality and your influence
to help the men in your own squad
and company carry on their work ant
prepare as quickly as possible for thu
big task ahead of you.
Save some of your spare time fol
study. The manuals and drill regu
lations will grow more and more In
teresting to you as you become more
familiar with your new duties. Mem
orize some of the important passages
Make yourself an authority on every
thing that pertains to company drill
These are simply rules that will
help any man, whether In or out O.
the Army, to make himself liked ant
respected. They are easy rules tt
observe. Follow them, and yiu will
add greatly to your enjoyment O
Army life and to your chances fol
promotion.

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 soldiers has a serious object in
view gives his whole mind to his new
duties.
Wou will find this interest growing
asyou advance. New scenes and as
sociates 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 mans indi-
vidualty. You will devote more time
to thinking.
The healthy good fellowship of the
camp also can not fail to stimulate
you. Thousands of men drawn from
all walks of life can not be thrown
suddenly together without bringing
to light many qualities previously un-
known. You will probably become
better acquainted with yourself than
you have ever been before.
In order to get the most out of this
new life you must devote yourself to
it heart and soul. A good start is half
the battle in making your way in the
Army. Even if you are not now much
interested in military affairs-if you
are entering the service, not because
inclination, but solely because it is
one of your obligations as citizen
you are going to become keenly inter-
ested 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.
Your Monthly Pay
While the men in the National
Army are serving at the call of duty
and not for money, nevertheless ev-
eryone will be paid more than enough
to take care of all necessary ex-
penses. These expenses are very
slight. Clothing, food and transport
tation are provided by the Govern
ment, 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 a
table which shows the pay for some
of the higher non-commossione
ranks:

 Mir. Bedding recently resigned as secretary of the Business Mems Lea me, and left that institution "tinan- cially embarrassed. d.'
 The mayor office has a very great attractiveuess for MT. Bedding now because there is $1oo,ooo in the city treasury with which this city can be operated. until some further finan- -ial system can be devised
 Mr. Bedng has been out of the mayors office and cut Of politics for ten years, and during that time, NEW CHURCHES, NEW BANKS and NEW SCHOOLS have been erected, which means. that the people had more confidence in the future for thi. city, because the moral conditions were improved, and honest elections were insured.

LIMIT FOOD PURCHASES
UNPATRI0TIC CITIZENS
This Action Suggested by Greedy Ac.
tions of People in Certain
Montana County.

Helena.-How certain greedy and
unpatriOtic citizens of a county in this
state are evading the suggestions of
the food administration against the
boarding of foodstuffs is told in let
ter which was received at state cam
paign headquarters. A retail grocer
was confronted by several men who de-
sired to buy a considerable amount
more than they ordinarily purchased.
The retailer, with considerable eff
fort, succeeded apparently in convinc-
ing the customers that they should
buy only their share of the sugar and
thus conserve it so that shipments
abroad to the short-rationed allies
might be increased. One man accord
ingly purchased two bags of sugar
instead of three which he had attempt
ed to get. Within day or two he re-
turned to the merchant and informed
him that he had bought total of
seven bags of sugar by sending to two
outside towns.

Retail Profits Will Be Shown.

Information showing the difference
between wholesale and retail prices
for commodities in this part of the
country. as we'll as in others will be
given to the public as soon as the
fair list committee for the food adj
ministration completes its studies. Al
fred Atkinson, food administrator for
Montana, has announced.
when these studies have been car
ried far enough" says Mr.. Atkinson,
general information will be sent out
on the price of commodities in differ
emf sections of the country. 1t is ex-
pected that wholesale and retail prices
will be announced, so that the public
may have an idea of the relation of
the two. Naturally there will be a
demand for reduction in the profits
which retailers appear TO be getting
and. no doubt, there will be many cases
where such reductions ought to be
made"

PLANS COMPLETED FOR
HUGE WAR FUND DRIVE
Montana's Share for Y. M. C. A. Work
Is $4,000 and This Sum Will
Be Raised in Nine Days.

Billings-Preliminar organization
for the great drive in Montana to
raise $4,000 for Y. NJ. c. 4. war work
is nearly completed, 1t is announced
by Charles PuehIer of this city, state
secretary who is in charge of the work,
and the campaign, which covers the
nine days from November IL to NOvem-
Der 10, inclusive, will be of whirlwind
character.
The Montana drive is part of a great
national campaign to raise S35,000,0OO
which will be used in work not only
among the American boys in the train
ing camps and in the trenches of Eu-
rope. but among the soldiers of our
allies.
BY means of newspaper articles,
posters, speeches and sermons the i'm
portance of this work will be empha-
sized and every city and rural district
of the state will be thoroughly can
vassed by energetic committees head
ed by Y. NJ. G. A. secretaries or spe-
cially appointed county chairmen. The
publicity work for the state is in
charge of w. w. Gail of Billings.
Montana's apportionment, which has
been divided pro rata among the
counties, means only few cents per
capita and Chairman Puehler antici-
pates that the patriotic people of the
state will not stop at $4,000

PUT ALL MACHINERY
UNDER TIGHT COVER
Farm Implements Have Ad-
vanced in Price and Should
Have Good Winter Shelter.
Clemson College Bulletin.)

Clemson College Bulletin.)
Usually there are many who leave
their harvesting machinery out In the
weather for some time after all har-
vesting is over. Such a practice re-
suits in considerable damage to the
binders and other harvesting machin-
cry. All farm implements have adj
vanced in price and carelessness in
taking care of them will cause consid-
cradle loss. At no time has the use
of labor-saving machinery been in
greater demand on the farms, and ev-
cry farmer who has such machinery,
should by all means take the very best
care of it. Just as soon as one has
finished using an implement, 1t should
be put under shelter, and where 1t will
be kept In good condition for the next
crop. Binders are easily broken If left
N exposed places, where wagons and
other farm equipment are jammed into
the same corners. Quite often, now
ers, binders, wagons, ETC., are all found
In one tangled mass in one corner of
the shed, along with the drills and
threshing machines. Such carelessness
can oAly result In some Of the machin-
cry being damaged. BY caring for
such machinery properly the lifetime
of the implements can be doubled.

PRO-GERMAk ALDERMAN
UNSEATED BY COMMITTEE
Billings Citizens Also Cause Prominent
Architect to Resign State Job
Butcher Kisses Flag.

Billings-The smoldering fire of re-
sentiment of loyal Americans agains
seditious utterances and disloyal acts
accredited to alleged pro-Germans in
Billings burst forth into flame of &C
tivity, and when the smoke had cleared
away one city councilman had been I'M
seated, a member of the state board OF
architectural examiners had been fore
ed to resign and the proprietor of q
south side meat market had been COM
PEELED publicly to swear his allegiance
to the American flag. No acts of vio-
lence attended the accomplishment of
these ends.
Walking quietly into the city coun-
Gil chamber when an adjourned meet
ing of the aldermen was in session,
between IS and 100 representative citi-
zens of the city, through their spokes-
man, Thomas A. Arthur. demanded the
immediate resignation of Herman
Schwanz, alderman from the Fourth
ward. After brief deliberation, AL
derman Schwanz rendered his resig-
nation in writing to Mayor w. NJ.
Johnson and the councilmen, and it
was Immediately accepted.
The committee of citizens then went
to the offices of Curtis C. Oehme, one
of the city's most prominent archi-
tects, and giving him an American
flag, told him to lead the crowd which
paraded TO the telegraph office. Ar
irving there, at the dictation of citi
zens. he wrote his resignation as a
of the state board of archi-
tectural examiners, addressed to Gov
ernor Stewart The resignation was
put on the wire Immediately together
with a telegram of explanation from
the citizens committee.
A meat market proprietor named |
Kortzeborn was the next person call
ed on by the committee. A flag was |
placed in his hands and he was told to |
repeat his oath of allegiance to the
United States and kiss the flag. He
lid both.
The actions of the committee were
.alled forth mainly by events that
during the recent liberty
oan campaign.
