Just Pieces Of Papcr,

Apropos of recent financial mag.
mates downfall, depositor remarked
to bank official that he thought that
the man in subordinate position who
handles large amounts of cash Is sub
iectcd to greater temptation than the
high financier." Not So" was the
answer: II was paying teller for ten
years, and I can assure you that ham
ding cash in large amounts is abso-
lutely like handling simple pieces of
paper with numbers on them. 1t is
the mathematics of accounting that in
terests cashier-the keeping of those
bits of paper in perfect order. The
question OF what he might do with the
bills never enters Il busy paying teller's
mind."-The Outlook.

American Fighters at tho Front Net
h tho Trenches continuousiy-
Plenty of Amusement.

The trouble with the American pub
lie is that they have heard and read
so much of the great war and its hor-
rors that they think their boys are go
ing to be continually in the midst of
bloodshed and constantly in discom-
fort, and they concentrate on the ter
rible side of 1t and ask, "How long
will 1t be before he Is killed?" They
don't see that that is not all there is
to it," declares q war correspondent.
It is natural enough of course. A
man writes q book about the war,
takes one incident, and another, and
another, makes chapters of them, with
the result thnt the man and woman
who read his book read a succession
of horrors, and they think it is all like
that. They don't realize, or they for
get, the weeks between these "hor-
rors" and discomforts.
A man is in the front trench under
fire. say, two days, and sent back four,
or perhaps four days and sent back
eight. Usually n brigade is in the
fire sector" so days. Then 1t is sent
back to the rest billets for an equal
time. Here the men are in practical
ly no danger-perhaps an occasional
shell. They are together in jolly COM
radeship, having lots Of amusements-
football, baseball-plenty to do. They
are well fed, well equipped, well
amused.
OF course, the grouchy soldier Is go
ing to have grouchy time, but the
life of the American soldier on the
western front is going - be just about
what he makes it. If he goes into it
III the right spirit he will find that it
isn't SO bad as it is cracked up to be.
And then he will be in n great state of
indignation because the reports of it
have made it seem so awful.
When he realizes that it isn't so
bad, he mustn't forget to sit down and
tell the folks ut home! He knows it's
lot better than he thought it was 60
ing to be. But they don't.

j. A. sHRlvER KILLED
the army soon,

Last Sunday while out riding
and returning to Weskan. Kans.
j. A. Shriver and brother Irwin
met with an accident at the Che
mung railroad crossing. 1t seems
that they were driving at pretty
good speed and in coming around
the corner (Which is a short turn
before it gets to the railroad)
they did not espy an approach
ing lone engine coming until after
making the turn, as they had the
side curtains on. They put on the
brakes in order to stop. but
their car wheels slid for fully
thirty feet before stopping and
at that moment it was in front
of the engine, which struck it
and completely demolished it
killing J. A. Shriver instantly,
and his brother was badly hurt.
and threw the car about sort
after the engine struck it. The
engine crew stopped as soon as
they could and picked up the
wounded brother, and took him
to Sharon Springs and telegraph
ed in to the company what had
happened, and a number Of
the citizens went out and brought
in the body of Mr.. Shriver. Mon
day night a number of the citi-
zens of Cheyenne Wells went
down to Weskan, to pay our
tribute to him who had at one
time been one of our citizens here
as his body was going to be ship
ped back to Iowa for burial. Nh
Shriver was the Cashier of the
bank at Weskan. Krnsas. He
held the same position in oUi
bank here few years ago anC
made many warm friends here,
who sadly mourn his untimely
death. The bereaved wife ano
children have the sympathy OF
this entire community in theil
hour of distress.

CAPITAL VERY MUCH CROWDED
Strangers Who Fail to Make Advance
Reservations Find Difficulty in OBJ
tanning Accommodations.

Washington, with the war on its
hands, is very much occupied city.
So much occupied that the stranger
within the gates who has not ar
ranged matters long beforehand may
very well find himself without a lodg-
ing for the night. The hotels are al
ways full, the clubs are using all
their available guest rooms.
Recently, relates Washington
correspondent, the vice president of
a big railroad, summoned suddenly
to the capital to confer with some
one or other of those boards that
seem to be taking over all the func-
tions of government summoned
suddenly and promptly responsive
found himself detained overnight
with nowhere to lay his head. Not a
hotel or a club with a room to spare.
1t was late, but an expedient oc-
Cured to him. He had left his own
private car at home out of considera-
ton for wartime congestion of traf-
fic. But, perhaps, some other rail-
road magnate mightn't have done
likewise. He went down to the rail-
road yards back of the marble pile of
the Union station and surveyed the
scene. Yes, there was a private car.
It looked rather like the car of a
man he knew. He wasn't sure, but
he took a chance, scratched upon the
door, and begged for shelter. He got
it.
But supposing he hadn't been a
railroad vice president!

DRAFTED FOR SERVICE

Tn this time of national peril,
when i'm defense of our rights and
liberty we as nation have been
forced to enter the war against
the German military autocracy,
we are all drafted for service.
Each and every one OF us owes
and must perform some patrlotlc
work and duty in support OF our
country. Some OF us are drafted
for service in the army or navy
and are called upon to risk our
lives in battle.
The success of our forces who
90 overseas will depend very
largely upon the support we rem
der them here at home. We must
build ships to take them over. we
must produce arms, munitions ana
supplies. We must produce 1000
supplies and conserve them so
that our overseas forces and our
allies may be fed. In short, we
must all work for the war. The
war is the chief business concern
of each and every one OF us and
we are all drafted for service.
If we are slackers in any way
we help the enemy to kill our
own men. If any Of our fellow
men are killed because they have
been withheld the needed equip
ment or supplies, then their blood
will be on the hands of those OF
us who have withheld our support.
We cannot escape our response
bility to those who are offering
their lives for our protection. we
must labor to produce the things
that are needed and we must cur
tail our own consumption in order
that we may better supply our
soldiers and our allies.
To prosecute the war with full
national strength the government
must have first call for labor and
materials for war purposes. Every
working man is drafted for ser
vice to do his part in producing
war gods or in supporting war
producers. He is also drafted for
service in economizing and saving
in every possible way so as to les
sen his own competition against
our own government for labor and
materials. The more unnecessary
things are consumed the greater
the demand for labor and mate
rails to reproduce them, and the
less labor and materials are avail
able to the government to prose
cute the war. It is only by teach
ing the people to save and not to
compete with the government for
labor and materials that we can
put the whole strength Of the ma
ton into the war.
Labor men are called upon to
support the war savings campaign
by purchasing thrift stamps and
savings certifcates.-Duluth La
Dor World.

DON'T BUY USELESS THINGS

Congress appropriated $19,-
000,0OO,OO0 for war purposes dur
ing the fiscal year. Can you
realize what that sum means and
the energy it will take to proper
ly expend it? Wouldn't it be
an awful task to have to build all
the railroads in the United States
in years time? Yet the total
value of all the roads is less than
that amount. In all the history
of our nation since the declara-
ton of independence in 1776, the
United States has had a total war
expense of less than the amount
that will be expended in this one
year and if we reckon every dol
lar the United States has spent
for every purpose, including war
expenses, in the 1875 years Of our
government, the total is but $24,-
3O0, 100000. And still there are
many people in our country who
do not yet earnestly realize that
We are at war. Kaiser Bill and
his war lords are an ex-
pensive luxury for the world.
We are going to have to forego
our private luxuries for time at
least, to do away with this big
unnecessary one. 1t is time all
Americans were getting down to
bedrock in the matter of econ
omy. The government asks you
not ito buy unnecessary things.
1t takes labor to make them and
Uncle Sam needs all the labor he
can get to make necessary war
supplies to feed, clothe, equip and
furnish ammunition and accou-
terment for the army and navy.
The spending of 10 billions of
dollars represents great amount
of labor.

WINTER FLOWERS.

Rooms may be made very bright
and pleasing in winter with tasteful
ly arranged vases of everlasting flow-
ers. They may be used alone or in
association with dried grasses. On
the European continent greater use
is made of them than in this coun-
try. The French grow them COM
mercially in quantity for making
wreaths and bouquets. Among the
hardy perennial everlastings are sea
lavender, or statice, pearly everlast-
ing, chalk plant, sea holly and globe
thistle. Sea lavender is one of the
most important. Some kinds are
perennial, others are annual, while
others may be treated as biennials.
The perennial sorts are suitable for
the front of the herbaceous or mixed
border and the rockery.
