TIRE OF SKlNNINGS
Soldiers Have New Plan to Beat the
Profiteer Traders.

A movement has been started in
the military camps to beat the
sprofiteers by having single soldiers
make allotment of most of their funds
thru the government. The soldiers
have grown weary of being charged
higher prices than civilians pay, and,
on their own initiative, are organizing
for self-protection. They figure that
the best way TO make the scheme eff
fective is to have part of their
monthly compensation deposited in a
home bank to their credit for the
period of the war. Several soldiers
from Topeka at Camp Doniphan have
done this, some of them holding out
only two or three dollars a month for
incidentals. allotting the bulk of their
pay for bank deposit, life insurance
and liberty bonds. One soldier writes:
I'VE have spent six months making
the traders rich; now we will try to
work as diligently piling up wealth
for ourselves. The monthly bank
saving of from $40 to $40, a few lib
erty bonds purchased on the INSTALL
ment plan, and our life insurance kept
up, will help US start in business after
the war. We had>to get skinned good
and plenty before we learned any
sense"

APPEAL TO SCOTS
Every One in Kansas Asked To
Help Lauder in Work.
Famous Comedians Hospital
Project a Worthy One.
ROB'T FULLERTON SECRETARY
All Who Contribute Will Get
Receipt From Lauder.
Hospital Will Be at Service of
All Manned ScOtchmen.

Harry Lauder is founding a hos
pitaI and an endowment fund for the
wounded Scotch soldiers and is ap-
pealing to all good Scotchmen in
way. Robert Fullerton, of Topeka, is
the secretary of the Harry Lauder
fund for KANSAS and all contributions
from Scotchmen in the state should
be sent to him at Topeka. Contribu-
tors to the fund who give IS or more
original signature of the famous
comedian.
According to the plans outlined by
Lauder on his recent appearance in
Topeka, the money in the fund will
be used to help those Scotch soldiers
wounded that they are unable to re-
turn to the firing line. Many of these
soldiers are crippled for life; some
of them have lost a leg, some both
legs, some have lost all or parts of
one or both arms, and others are
blind in one eye and some of them
cannot see at all.
Help All injured.
1t Is for this class of Scotch SOL
diers that the hospital and fund are
to be maintained-the hospital to
cure, as much as possible of the
wounds received in action, and the
fund to found school for teaching
the men trades and occupations so
that they may be Independent of
charity for all their crippled condi-
ton. For those who have lost arms
or legs in the war the Harry Lauder
fund will furnish artificial limbs, and
for those who are blind the Lauder
school will. furnish education for the
blind.
The history of the idea of the
founding of the school is a story that
pulls at the very heart strings of the
fathers and mothers who have lost
their sons in action on the western
front. Harry Lauder babe farewell
to one, Capt. john Lauder, and saw
him march away to war at the head
Of his company. A few short months
later Harry Lauder laid his tears and
his flowers on the mound in France
that bore a cross with the legend,
Capt. John Lauder, killed in action
All Contributions Welcome
The hospital will be known to fame
and to posterity as the Capt. John
Lauder Memorial hospital for Scotch
soldiers"
The appeal is expected to reach the
Scotchmen in America but any per-
sons of other nationality who wish to
subscribe to the fund are welcome,
and more than welcome

WANTS ANTI-LOAFING LAW
TO APPLY TO WOMEN

Mrs. Raymond Brown of New York
City, who has just returned from
France, declares that there should be
passed in every state an anti-loafing
law for women between Is and so
Mrs. Brown believes that the princi-
pal duty of American women now is
to maintain standards of living, and
sees much to be done in constructive
social work such as child welfare.
In France women are working
twelve hours a day, with two hours
recess at noon and the privilege of
working eight hours in the United
States under first rate conditions
should not be neglected, according to
Mrs. Brown who is now interested in
organizing a hospital unit for over

SALARIES RAISED 80
PER CENT IN JAPAN

Toxic, Sept. 1.-THE astounding
increase in the cost of living con-
tinues to affect all aspects of life, and
is generally attributed to the over
whelming excess of exports. The Gov
eminent has decided to meet the
grave economic problem by increas-
all salaries SO per cent, and private
employers are following the Govern
ment's lead.
The Government has inagurated a
far-reaching investigation into eco
nomic labor and social problems.
Having adopted all practical mea
sures of relief, the impression gener-
ally is that the Cabinet will soon re-
sign, and this is expected further to
relieve the internal situation.
Representative leaders and the
conservative newspapers emphasize
their belief that Japan, affected by
the current of world thought, has en-
tered a new era of development; that
the masses of the people are begin
ming to perceive their power, and that
all questions must be faced and met
squarely to avoid further trouble.

agents, crossing watchmen and car
cleaners, in which job they can re-
lease men for the army or for more
important work. To some extent, II
is understood, women will be EN-
ployed as track laborers.
Every effort will be made to guard
the safety and health of these wom-
en- workers, and IL is probable that
the work of the Women in Industry
Service of the Department of Labor
will be of great value in solving prob
lens connected with their employ
ment. Women will be paid the same
as men for the same work. English
and French railroads were long ago
compelled to hire women for railroad
work on extensive scale. In France
the women even act as firemen on
locomotives.
There are training schools for
women ticket agents in several large
cities already. where young women
between the ages of 81 and 35 years
are given two months course in
railroad geography and simple ac-
counting. They are paid $25 a month
while learning and afterwards re-
ceive from $65 to $500 a month.

CORRECT TINE TO CUT
WALNUT TREES Is TOLD.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Warning
as to the proper time to cut walnut
trees is sounded in a letter to the
American forestry association from
DR.. Robert T. Morris, an authority, of
New York City. The black walnut is
destined to play big part in the war,
and President Wilson has called upon
the Boy Scouts to mark the trees.
From September to April is the
time to cut these trees says DR..
Morris in his letter to the associa-
ton. IF the trees are cut at other
times the roots will die. This is very
important because of our future tim
her supply. The walnut growers are
at the present time making special eff
fort to locate black walnut trees bear
ing particularly thin-shelled and
well-favored nuts.
