Lefty director, asking the loyal sup

make the war-savings and thrift plan
success. Part of the letter follows
"The teaching of patriotism and
thrift in the public schools of Kansas,
proposed by this committee and re-
ceiving the cooperation of school Of
ficials and teachers, can not fail to ac-
complish great things in awakening
the children to realization of what it
means to save and to invest their saw
ings with their government for the
prosecution of the war. But you
know, as all should know, that it is in
the home and by the "hand that rocks
the cradle" that the lessons learned in
the school rooms are to be tried out
and put to practical use. So, after all,
it is for the women of Kansas to dem
onstrate that intelligent and consist

ward the personal success of every
one who shares in this war-savings
plan.

TRACTOR HELPS COUNTRY
IN BATTLE AND ON FARM

The tractor is playing an important
part in the world war. 1t is not only
assisting materially in food produc-
ton, but is helping to win battles.
"The tractor will be called on for
more exacting work as the weeks go
by, said A. A. Potter, dean of the
division of engineering in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
THE famous Hindenburg line was
finally broken by the fortified tractor
or tank and not by the heaviest Brit
ish guns. Trucks and automobiles
saved Pars. They are used to rush
great masses Of soldiers to threatened
points, to carry almost unbelievable
quantities of powder and shell for the
guns, and the supplies of all sorts for
the soldiers on the fighting line.
"The chances of those who are
qualified to handle such machinery
for being of service to their country
are far beyond those of the average
Sammy in the trenches"
Because of this opportunity of per-
forming national service, both at the
front and on the farms of Kansas, a
large enrolment is expected for the
traction short course which will start
at the agricultural college January Z

1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE

Moescha Rosenberg is a jeweler in
Glen Cove, Long Island, N. Y. He is
closing up his store and moving
away, and as his accounts showed
that several thousand dollars was due
him he hit upon a novel scheme of
collection which worked admirably.
He put an advertisement in the local
paper which ran:

address and vocation of each of the

The paper goes to press at 1890 a.

their characters defined in print

Immediately his debtors began to
appear and pay their bills. Men who
had bought engagement rings on
credit and others who had purchased
presents that they did not care to
have published all paid up promptly,
and the jeweler was happy. So Rosen-

FLOUR MILL LETTER
IS CAUSING SMILES

There is an old saying that at is a
poor rule that will not work both
ways. A rule of this kind has been
discovered following the recent order
of the national food administration.
This order reduces the price Of mill
feed, and makes some changes in the
preparation of -four. The reduction
in the price of bran and shorts is be-
lieved by some millers sufficient reas-
on for them to raise the price of -four.
The following letter, issued by a
mill in a Southern Kansas town,
speaks for itself:
"You have undoubtedly read the
new government regulations, effect
i've December 25. We will of course,
conform to the new rules.
"All flour orders on our books are
automatically cancelled. = ." 1t looks
very much as tho -four will be little
higher than the price booked at, on
account of the big reduction in feed.
"All feed orders, of course, remain
as originally booked, subject to the
original terms and conditions, and
they are not cancelled like the flour
orders"
Several Wichita business firms re-
ceived copies of this unusual letter
and are trying to figure out why the
same rule is not applicable to the
feed as to the flour. A prize is offered
for satisfactory answer to the prob
lem.-Beacon.

Camp Sherman is doing for our young
men. But Sergeant E. H. Taylor of
Cincinnati, Co. H, 330th Infantry,
saves US the trouble. Sergeant Taylor
was an actor before he went to Camp
Sherman, two months ago. He is of

who make up our national army.

ton: "How do you like the army?"

some people may call it dirty work
at times, but we are all better men

be thorough, to do the days work
without complaining, to take whatev-
er comes manfully.
"Dirty work? There is no such
thing. That we are learning, too.
Work is clean or dirty, according to
mans spirit. A job is dirty only
as man makes it so. We are learn
ing that one can peel potatoes, and
wash pots and pans, and scrub floors

.ASRme kind of pride in the job that a
mghan takes in singing song well or
writing a book.

to feel always that am public serv-
ant. Once used to think that my

to see whatever good or bad I do is
for the benefit or injury of the whole

ing Of responsibility will stick with
me after l go back to civil life.
1--WE are learning to do job COM
pletely and conscientiously. We know
that when our barracks floor has
specks on it, after being scrubbed, a.
complete job has not been done, be-
cause our officers do not hesitate to
inform us.

our clothes neatly, according to regu-

to be slovenly are acquiring neatness

that not all of the men in the camp
