DON'T WORRY ABOUT DELAYED
LETTERS OVER THERE

In case the members OF the family
of soldier or sailor are worried be
cause he has not received their letters
addressed 10 him abroad, Home Ser
vice Sections should explain TO the
family the difficulties in delivering
mail 10 members of the American EX-
dictionary Forces and that the War
Department now Is making every ef-
fort TO hasten deliveries.
Families should be discouraged from
writing TO any department in Wash
ington in reference to this matter. The
Post Office Department no longer has
jurisdiction over these deliveries and
no officer in the War Department at
Washington Is charged with any re-
sponsibility in this regard or is equip
ped with facilities TO investigate such
delays. IL is inadvisable TO write 10
the Office Of the Military Postal Tx
press Service abroad. The best that
can be done Is to counsel patience and
to advise the family 20 continue 10
write to their man in the service being
sure to state his company or otherwise
TO describe his location in the service
as exactly as possible.
Mail for members of the American
Expeditionary Forces in France, in
Guiding civilians and independent or
ganizations attached to the American

Complaints as TO delay or fai,u. q

arise, in the main, from the fact that
persons communicating with oul

Save a Nickel = Dau

What would it mean if every per.
son in Kansas should save a nickel E
day during the year 1918?
1t would mean a great many things
First of all, with one and three-uuar-
tiers million Kansans in the game
there would be daily saving of SS7.-
500, and at the ned of the year the
total savings would reach Sd, 937,-
500.
That with the savings of the PEG
pie IN other states of the union
would come very close to $4,000. OOO.-
OOO-and that money lent to Uncle
Sam might be the two billions he
needs to carry Old Glory over the
Rhine in to the heart of the Kaiser's
own country.
This saving, though, would go a
mighty long way toward putting
every man, woman, and child in Kan
sas on footing of permanent pros
perity.
Besides the savings invested Fn
