If your local newspaper man does
no come to you and offer you some of
this W. S. S. advertising space, you
go to him and tell him you want him
to get into this patriotic work
Iell him you want to run one of
those War Savings Stamp Avertise-
ments over the name of your firm.
If he has not received his supply of
plates and copy for the advertise
ments, ask him TO telephone or tele-
graph Phillip Eastman, Topeka direc-
tor of W. S. S. publicity for the state
of Kansas. Eastman is devoting prac-
tically mas whole time to this without
pay.
Get other merchants and business
men in your town to do the same
thing. Maybe your local editor is
modest and does not like to ask you
to buy advertising space. Perhaps he
thinks you might resent it. Show him
that the merchants of your town are
ready to do all in heir power to back
up the boys who are doing the real
work over there.
Make the local newspapers print
ten-page extra editions on June Ia
and 21 to hold this War Savings
Stamp advertising
That's the way to make people sit
up and take notice.
That's the way 20 make the public
respond to the big W. S. S. rallies on
June %. When people see the mer-
chants of the town putting in page
afer page VI this w S. S. advertising,
they will realize that June %, is go
ing TO be a big date on the calendar
1t will make the sale of 7,000,-
900 worth of War Savings Stamps
during 1918 a dead sure thing.
Kansas always go over the top.

WHEAT DAY
Fort Hays Experiment. Station

Fort Hays Experiment Station
The Second Annual Wheat Day
will be held at the Fort Hays Expert
1918 Since it is the patriotic duty
ment Station at 1 80 p. m. June 20,
of everyone to produce wheat and
other food crops, this meeting will be
of special inter- year. The re-
suits on the Experiment Station are
quite instructive and are more valu-
able on account of the accumulation
of a series of years of results, the
averages of which are very conclu-
sive.
People who visit the Station on that
day will not only be able to hear the
exact results but see most of them
with their own eyes.
The Station is located here in
Western Kansas to serve the people
of Western Kansas and to solve the
problems of special interest in West
ern Kansas. A visit to the Station will
show you what to do and what not
to do without your going to the ex-
pense of trying it out yourself.
Everybody is invited to come and
make this meeting result in the in
creased production of crops in West
ern Kansas this year.
Remember the date 1 80 p. m,
Thursday, June 20, 1918.

Store eggs now for use next winter
is the suggestion Of Ernest H. Wieg-
and, state poultry club leader, divi-
sion of extension, Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
Eggs are cheap and plentiful and
can be stored without waste to the
consumer at this season Of the year.
This prevents flooding the large mar
kets with the product IN the season
when losses are unavoidable Every
consumer should store away at least
thirty dozen eggs in the next month
for home use This can easily be
done by the watre glass method of
preserving.
For thiry dozen eggs use two five
gallon crocks-capacity fifteen doz-
en- each. Boil eighteen quarts water
and cool Mix with two quarts of
sodium silicate- Place the eggs as
collected fresh and clean IN the
crooks previously scalded, keeping
them covered to a depth Of two in
ches with water glass solution Place
this crock IN a cool dark well venti-
late cellar and cover it with q waxed
paper to prevent the evaporation Of
the solution

GO ON Cash BASIS
Chinese Merchants Forced to
Change Methods.
Restricted Credits Since War Beo.n
Puts Stop to Aqe-OId
Custom.

New York.-The beneficial effects of
restricted credits in China since the
war started in 1914, which have forced
the Chinese merchants to do business
pretty much on a cash basis. we're
particularly noticeable in the unusual
~ small number of failures on Chi
nese New Years day, which is the
annual settlement day in the Chinese
commercial world.
According to. Consul General George
Il. Anderson of Hongkong, banking in
tereSts In China have found that the
demand for accommodations has
fallen off tremendously during the last
three years.
Prior to the war ard from time i'm
memorial this annual settlement day
has entailed efforts of every sort on
the part of the Chinese to raise money
for liquidating their debts accumulated
during the year.
Frequently they have had to sell
much of their stock in business at a
great loss, even personal property as
well, in order to raise sufficient funds
to "save their face" as it is called.
An annual street fair for the sale Of
all sorts Of property, personal and
otherwise las been an old-established
custom in Hongkong for generations,
almost for centuries, while at the same
time both foreign and domestic banks
have placed large sums on accommo-
dalton. In tine last three years, how
ever, loans have been small, property
sales have been light In comparison,
and the street fair has become the
occasion for sales to Chinese instead
Of sales by Chinese to foreigners.
Though the Chinese merchants vol
ume of business has in some In
stances been somewhat curtailed, as
q result Of his having had to operate
on much shorter credits than he has
been accustomed to, his net profits at
the end Of the year, through not hav.
ing been forced to sacrifice merchan.
disc at q loss, have been materially
increased.
1t is said also that the Chinese bust.
ness men have come to see the advan.
tages of the new system, and that In
all probability they will never go back
to the old.
