Increase Food Supply.

Every peck of vegetables produced
for home use this year, on land that
never before grew food, will mean
wheat and meat released for our
armies and the allies. More food means

CEMETERY ASSOC
IATION is PATRIOTIC

The trustees of the Abilene Gene
terry Association voted last evening
to invest all it's available funds be-
longing to the Perpetual Care fund
in bonds of the Third Liberty Loan.
The association halds bonds of the
City Of Abilene and school bonds Of
the City of Rome, Iowa, and now the
balance of it's funds will be ex-
pended for Liberty Bonds.
The Perpetual Care fund amounts
to more than $4,000 and is steadily
growing from month to month.
Abilene has a good many prominent
people who have not as yet invested
any funds in this worthy cause. Why
not do it now? You will not only
be providing for the perpetual care
of your lot but will be adding to the
income of the association, so that
the whole cemetery can be improved
and made more beautiful.

FORMER CHAPMAN MAN
WAS ON TOPEDOED SHIP.

George H. Hoyes, formerly OF
Chapman, was on a ship which was
torpedoed while on it's way to Eng
land. The ship carried only Y. M.
C. A. workers and Mr.. Hoyes is now
in England for that work. The pas
sengers were picked up in lifeboats
and landed at a British port. The
Americans are all safe and well. On
their arrival in London, they were
taken in charge by the American
Y NJ c. A. and Red Cross
The number of persons on board
the vessel was about $50. One of the
ships officers said that the Ameri-
cans conducted themselves in an adj
mirable manner. They were the
better able to do this because they
had spent most of their time aboard
the ship in military drills and daily
and night lifeboat drill. Every man
knew his station and duties as tina
by instinct.
Destroyers we're sent Immediately
to the rescue and all the lifeboats
were picked up within half an hour.
Two other Kansas men we're on
the ship. Rev. J. E. Chambers of
Salina and Rev. A. N. Smith of Man
haitian were passengers. While G. H.
Hoyes was raised and lived for many
years at Chapman. he lately made
his home in Topeka.

NO CHANGE IN ABILENE TRAINS.
McAdOO's Order Thought to Apply to
Large Terminals Only.

That the new order of Director
McAdoo, curtailing passenger SER
vice in the territory West of the
Mississippi will make no change in
Abilene's train service, is the pre-
diction of officials today. While
some slight changes are to be an
nounced in the Santa Fe time table,
no trains are to be taken off.
The new order, say local railroad
men will affect only terminals like
Kansas City, where parallel lines
have duplicate and unnecessary SER
vice to Chicago and st. Louis. No
word of any contemplated change in
train service locally has been re-
ceived.

A Bilious Attack.

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
lions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments In your
stomach instead OF digesting. This
inflames the stomach and causes
nausea. vomiting and terrible
headache. Take Chamberlain
Tablets. They will tone up your
liver, clean out your stomach and
you will soon be as well as ever.
They only cost q quarter.

my gums became so bruised that

little of what we did in New York

self took In the big city. We went
to the National Museum of Arts
first, and that took nearly half
day never saw anything like it in
my life before. Saw everything from
the originals OF the famous paint
ings to the Egyptian mummies.
While we were there, a millionaire
saw us and wanted to know where
we were from, and when he learned
that we were new to New York, he
and his wife took us over the city
in their car, and provided plenty of
eats. They took us thru Columbia
and then the big cathre-
dals. / cannot describe the size and
greatness of the cathredal of st.
Johns. The organ is as high as the
standpipe in Abilene. In the evening
they took US to their mansion on
Fifth avenue and Riverside drive for
dinner. We could look out of the
dining room window down on the
and see hundreds OF boats,
from canoes to battleships. / could
hardly figure it all out, but we got
by fine. At night they took us to
the Hippodrome, one Of the largest
and finest theatres in the world. The
theatre alone is worth the trip to
New York. After it was over, they
showed us to the Y. M. G. A. build
ing where we had rooms for the
night. | can hardly believe yet but
what it was all dream. 1t all hap
pened because we were found in
decent place. Well, l will have to
quit about that trip, as it was too
wonderful to write about, and l will
be home some time and tell about it,
There are not many Western sol !
diers in New York, and the kids fol-
lowed us around like a circus pa
rade. When they heard we we're
from the west, they wanted to know |
if we had ever killed any Indians. !
A Western soldier is Jake" in New
York. We stopped at one place to |
ask cop where we were going, and /
the kids and grown-ups blocked the
traffic to see what we we're going to
do to the cop, as a bunch of soldiers
from our division shot up a saloon
and smashed up things in general.
and that gave the rest of us a bad
name, and the people were looking
for a fight.
