An Appeal To The Loyal
KanSanS
kanSanS

Flour is the great need. Have
you a surplus? For many years
It has been custom in Kansas
t. buy -four ..'n large quantities
and store It in our homes. We
inherit this from the early set
tiers. Under ordinary circum.
stances it is a harmless and a
thrifty practice, but we are now
facing war emergency short
age. Every Kansan who has IN
his home more than one or two
sacks of flour can render his
country a patriotic service by
returning the surplus to the re-
taller for crecit and exchange
even if it is financial sacrifice.
Then join the ranks of the loyal
Kansans who live on the fifty.
fly war basis, that is, use in
their home an equal quantity by
weight of wheat substitutes with
all wheat -four.
We all must cooperate to win
this war. Every Kansas town
and city should have its war club
to take care of war problems.
Get together in your town-ex-
plain to those who have a sur
plus of -four the emergency need.
Many lives may be saved by a
little sacaifce. Send this office
a full list of the patriotic citizens
in your com munlty who re'dis-
tribute their surplus flour.
There is penalty for hoard
ing flour, of several thousand dol
lars fine, or number of years IN
prison, or both. This would in
dicate the emergency need when
such law is passed in free
Am erica. AS true patriots we
want to show the country that
no such law is needed in Kansas
-"Out where the west begins.

National Implement Inspec-
ton and Repair Week

Never put off until tomorrow
what you can do to day.. This
old saying can be most effective
ly applied to National Implement t
Inspection and Repair Week
March 4th to 9th.
Since manufacturers will face
a shortage in all farm machinery
material, it is quite important to
them to know in advance what
the far mers must have IN order
to properly care for their crop.
If yau wait until the day, or the
week before you use YOUR ma
chiuery to order repairs, it is
more than likely that you will be
unable to get them. Be on the
safe side, order early and give
the manufacturer ample time to
fill the orders.
The following letter received
by the local implement and re-
pair dealers, from the Internat-
ional Harvester Co., one of the
biggest institutions of its kind
in America, shows there is need
for placing orders early:
Realizing what the transpor-
tatlon will b. this coming spring
and what our Company is liable
to be up against in the way of Sc
curing materials, we feel 1t is our
duty to take up with you at this
time the importance of urging
the farmers to look over their
machines and furnish you with
list of the repairs they will
need for the coming year and
place their orders with you for
early shipment.
With the present high prices
on all kinds of grain and the gov
ernment in need of every particle
of grain that can possibly be
raised and saved, we feel that
there should be nothing left un-
done to bring the farmers to re-
alize the Importance of securing
their repairs early and having
their machines IN frst-class con-
dition before they are needed, as
delays waiting for repairs when
machines are needed are expen
sive and liable to loss of crop,
and we can make no definite
promises as to how prompt re-
pairs can be delivered during the
coming year.
The first week in March has
been selected as repair week,
urging all farmers to look over
their machines and place their
orders for repairs during that
week.
This matter is more import
ant than we can tell you in this
letter and if this matter is put off
there is liable to be delays in Sc
curing repairs later on, which
will mean a great loss to the
farmer in the raising and saving
of his caop."

February II, 1913

Dear Folks:-
Well, here l am at last and
am In a permanent place. hear
we get to stay right here until the
end of the war We are stationed
in the Texas State Fair grounds and
we sue have a swell place; cement
floors, white.washed walls, and fifty
showers for baths, some place | say.
For eats-we sure get them. We
eat in the big Fair Association res
.taurant and talk about eats, Gee
whiz! l can't tell you one half of
what we have. For breakfast we
had bread, oats, butter, syrup, eggs
potatoes, ham, coffee, sugar, and
real cream. Geel we can hardly
realize what it is.
We only have two hours drill per
day and it sure is grapes.
There is only the one Squadron
here and quite few Flying Cadets,
who have completed the ground
school and are waiting for trans
fer to some aviation field.
We are going to be here and act
as Military Police during the fair
next fall. That will be some sport,
won't it?
Imay be able to get a furlough
some time in the spring. Isure will
if l can, for I'd like to see things
once more and see how everybody
looks once again.
was down town last evening and
it sare is keen place. There is one
hotel here forty-eight stories high.
Some hotel eh2
The people here sure respect the
uniform and they treat the soldiers
fine. Being only "a few here they
are not used to it and they act so
different from the people at Waco.
We have negro cooks and walters
and we don't have to wash our dish
es either.
If you write to any of the kids give
them my address. Be sure and
write.
