That Is Carriers Baby Bond
Sale Record.
POstOfice Men Distributed
S1,5OO Worth Saturday.
MAKE fine XMAS PRESENTS
Many Plan To Give Them to
Their Children.
Teach Little Tots To Save and
Help. Win War.

Over So, 900 worth of baby bonds
were sold last week by the mail car
riers operating out of the Topeka post
office, according to an announcement
by Postmaster Rigby this morning.
Saturdays sale of the bonds came to
nearly $500, this being the highest
score for any day during the week.
The sale of baby bonds" and thrift
stamps is expected to take a big jump
this week on account Of the increasing
demand of the two stamps for use as
Christmas presents So far most of
the sales have been confined to the
baby bond" which sells for s4-12, but
with the near approach of the only
worldwide holiday, the sale of thrift
stamps for use as presents for the
children should receive sudden activ-
ity-and what is more to the point if
your son or daughter once realizes
that the purchase of thrift stamps is
a vital point in financing the war, your
troubles and worries concerning the
well known spending abilities of the
embryo citizens will become less and
less as far as foolish spending goes
OF course, this does not mean that
there is any likelihood of lessening
of the youngsters demands on your
pocketbook; in fact the assault is
liable to become more determined but
the boy will be putting the money
to a wise use and will at the same time
learn the principles that govern all
business and the first step towards at
tanning a competence

JOIN RUSS PACT
Z. S. Ambassador Necessarily Will
Turn Down Russian Invitation.

Washington, Dec 1S.-It is assumed
at the state department that the reply
of American Ambassador Francis to
the invitation of Leon Trotzky, foreign
minister of the Bolsheviki government
to participate in the peace negotia-
tions will be that he has no instruc-
uons from this government No in
struetions have been sent to Mr.. Fran
els and it was indicated that none au-
thorizing him to have anything to do
with peace negotiations would be sent
The recurring suggestion in Europe
Wiki has not been supported here and
it is believed that Ambassador Francis
will be expected to do nothing more
in connection with the peace parleys
than to observe developments and re-
port them.

Officers Training Camp Brings
Out Best in Men.
E. L. LOveless Tells OF HIS
Experiences.
SOME HAD THEIR WALLETS
Rich Fasteners Could Not Care
for Themselves.
Wallets Had To Go and Most OF
Sissies Also.

Life in an army reserve officers

roses. This is the conviction eS-
pressed by F. L. Loveless IN an al
dress before the Square Circle ciuo al
its regular meeting at the Elks ciuo
Monday night. A short time before
the close of the camp Loveless was
injured in an accident and must un-
derso an operation before he can quail
ify physically for a commission
Perhaps the most interesting 1ea-
ture of the talk was his description
of the way a column of artillery
marches in cold and sleety weather
On one occasion Loveless's battery
was sent out with others in practice
march when the ground was covered
with ice and sIeet 1t was no uncom-
mon thing for one of the horses to go
down.
Don't Stop Procession
The column must proceed uninter-
ruptedly at all hazards, so whenever
a horse went down instead of calmly
blocking the road as is done in civilian
life the whole six-horse team dregs
the unfortunate horse to the side of
the road where it is out of the way,
when gunnysacks or blankets are
placed on its feet and it can get up.
The gun or caisson then rejoins the

isthenics, and the benefits of army
training in civilian life were all
/ touched upon and rivaled the feature

+ corning the habit of wealthy eastern
ers of bringing Wallets to the camp.
! This practice finally called forth a

I It seems that a number of the east

for the very reason that they were I'M
