the train at Artillery boulevard, on
the west line of Camp Funston. From
this point he will be conducted to
building No. 430, where the curtain
will be lifted on a new life and the
ing at building No. 430, the recruit will
check in his civilian clothing, then
proceeding thru boarded gangway to

is rejected. he will be dispatched to a
nearby office where a discharge will
be filled out for him, after which he
may take the train home. The man
passing the examination successfully,
however, goes to a lower floor to the
outfitting rooms, where he receives his
complete outfit. Clothed as soldier,
he then proceeds to building No. 430.
Arrived here, his service record is
made out at one table; at another his
enlistment and assignment cards are
filled out, while at a third he will be
given an opportunity to allot por-
ton of his pay to home folks The
recruit then proceeds to a floor above
where his qualifications along certain
lines are ascertained and a card filled
out accordingly. Downstairs he goes
again, this time to an express office,
where he may take a parcel of his
civilian clothes and send them home.

After making the foregoing rounds,
the recruit is ready for the detention

Trial of Son Failed To Convict;
Victim Was Wealthy Farmer.

Verona. Mo-, Feb. 2s.-Mrs. Sarah
NJ. Wilks was arrested at her home

nished bond of $500 pending her
preliminary examination, which has

prove he was in Aurora, Mo-, at the
time his father was killed.
To neighbors whom she summoned
to the home after her husband had
been shot Mrs Wilks said that her
husband left her at the supper table
saying he was going to his room to re-
tire. She said she heard a shot and
soon her husband staggered into the
dining room and fell to the floor A
shotgun had been discharged at Wilks
thru window. Wilks was one of the

MINE LESS COAL
Nation Million Tons Behind Its
Needs; Demand Greater Than Ever.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Bituminous
coal production in January was at the
lowest rate since September, 1915. In
making public the figures today, the
geological survey blames the slump
entirely on railroad congestion. The
January output was 42.727,000 tons,
an average of 1,643,OO0 tons daily.

ever BEFORE" said the surveys state
ment. the country entered the second

New York, Feb. 23.-Financial News Bull

ket is expected temporarily. Dragging on
the general list may be interrupted by
strength in some departments. Good buy

much higher levels later on. We look upon
the general market as a waiting affair with
professionals working for reactions outside
of a few speeialtfes. The technique is more
vulnerable but as the market is largely pro-

absence of unsettling news. The Russian
