Draft men coming to Camp Kearny

6OOGo Profit From One Lease

Thismap shows our leases in Montgomery county, Kansas, and the
splendid development in the vicinity. It has been yhy a short time since
we bought our SO-acre lease here for $1,6O0OO and we have already
been offered 100000 for it. We could sell it at a clean profit OF 49, 400
or 600 PERCENT. We are holding it because all signs indicate that it
will be a sureshot WHINE. for our stockholders.
When we bought this lease it was offset by one well on the east and
three on the south, but since the purchase a gas we'll has come in a quar-
ter of a mile to the southwest and a 15O-barrel oil well has been reported
to the northwest of US. Gas should be found at $50 to 600 feet and oil at
600 to 900 feet, so that by spending not more than $4,000 we stand to
make a big enough cleanup to pay so percent dividends on the entire
Capitalization.

Officer Once Stable Boy.

We have ceased to be surprised at
the amazing social upheavaf brought
about by the war, but the shock which
a gentleman received recently at q very
exclusive club of which he is a men,
Der can be easily understood. On the
staircase he was hailed by a resplends
ent young officer Of the guards attired
in one of those gray coats whose color
and cut are the envy Of all "subs."
Not recognizing the young officer, there
was a pause, whereupon the soldier
said: "Tm afraid you've forgotten me.
My name is -" The gentleman
still failed to identify the officer. "Im
-- of Newark" added the guards
man. Whereupon the astounded gen.
tleman recognized the grownup boy
who five years ago had saddled his
horse at a hunting box he visited.
The stable hand had enlisted in the
ranks, won a commission in the field,
and finally been transferred to a guard
regiment, and carried himself as If
to the manner born.-London Mail.

door you don't run into a lecture hall,
though there is one upstairs, and the
odor that comes to your lose isn't the
odor of sanctity. It's the smell of
fried eggs. The cafeteria is the first
thing you meet, and if you are wise
you get acquainted with it and stay
acquainted while you are in this To-
cality, for it is the best and cheapest
place to eat in town. I know because
| tried several.
The most impressive thing about it
Is the complete absence of an osten-
tatious welcome. You just help your
self and nobody says a word. You
wander in and eat and wipe your
mouth on your sleeve and hike upstairs
to mess around on a piano or write
a letter or play billiards, or to do as
you doggone please. You are free.
To be able to make a huge number of
men feel perfectly free and unrestrain-
ed and at home is quite some little ac-
complishment. l haven't had time to
find out how it is done, but the next
time l have a party at my house I'm
going to try it on. It's the real thing
in hospitality.

polish Army in France.

The flag of Poland was lifted on the
battle line when the Polish legion, To-
600 strong, recruited mostly in the
United States, took it's place among
the allies in France. 1t is only a little
army that the ancient emblem of a
free Poland is flying over now, but
every Polish volunteer in France and
every patriotic Pole in the United
States and scattered elsewhere
throughout the world, is confident that
ultimately the flag will wave over a
free and strong and reunited Poland,
and every Pole understands that it is
only through a triumph Of the allies
in this war for justice and right and
world freedom that the restoration OF
Poland can be brought about.-Spring'

Transforming With Vengeance.
For Elsie it has been transforming
with a vengeance, Il tour of tank towns
in more senses than one. 1t mas meant
travelling without a maid for once In
a way, playing q whole season Win a
one-dress wardrobe, b~ivouacEing IN
strange and u~ninviting hotels.
II has meant warbling as a cabaret
singer among tables of some officers

through the windows of come conta-
zion barracks where the Isolated
%doughboys had been tearing their IN
fected hair with disappointment be-
cause they had heard she was III the
post and knew they could not get OUT
to see her.
1t has meant lingering for an extra
performance at some hut because a
whole new audience was coming
through the starlit heavens from the
aviation camp down the lines.
In all her years on the stage she
has known no such tumultuous, heart
warming welcomes as are her nightly
portions in the biggest time a booking
Office can offer to a player in the year

never was such q girl since the world

hoarse, and she is dizzy with prade.

paris.-Thirty sailors off an Ameri
can war vessel hired a motor truck and
drove nine miles to get to the Z. M. q.
A. club in a famous French city. l ask
ed them why.
Because it's a regular hangout," n
Of them said, and another added, BE-
cause you get white bread with butter
on it, and eggs fried on both sides and
coffee with piano accompaniment"
AS soon as 1 broke into the place l
found why men would ride nine miles
on a truck to loaf there from eight IN
I'll eleven.
1t wasn't the sort of place folks in
the United States imagine a I. M. Q.
A. to be. 1t was a swelteringly hot
night, and the broad front steps were
lined from end to end with men in
khaki and men in navy blue. They
were gassing and smoking until the
place looked as if the captain had
ordered a smoke screen to help him
through the submarine one
From the street you could hear a
piano doing business and a lot more
men in uniform bowling, Joan of
Are" If the mothers of these boys
could have heard that racket their
hearts would have dropped off a pound
of weight and increased their beat by
ten to the second. They sang as IL
they were glad to be alive.
Right on the Job.
And then somebody busted up the
game. A sailorman came in and made
the announcement that the driver Of
their truck refused to take them back
to quarters again, and it was a walk
of nine miles on q hot night, or a
stretch in the brig for them. Gloom
descended. Then somebody turned
around and beloved, where's n of
them Y guysT"
A "Y" guy happened to be on the
spot and in a second he was surround
ed, not by a crowd of men who were
angry or in a mood to demand some
thing, but by fellows who were mighty
courteous in an unpleasant situation.
That was something worth remarking,
and it made you sort of glad to be
around.
They put the thing up to the "Y"
guy and one fellow said sort of BASH
ful-like, I'VE don't want to act like we
was putin this up to you. 'Tain't
your fault, but"
1t was apparent they had gotten the
Idea somehow that you could depend
on a ''Y'' guy to get a on him, and
the "Y" guy allowed as much.
"Sure, it's up to U.S." he said, that's
why we're here"
Inside of twenty minutes he was
back with a big truck with a red tri-
angle on the side of 1t. He tucked the
thirty sailormen into it and off they
went to keep their appointment with
their boss.
That, quite likely, is one reason why
they rode nine miles to spend an eve
ming in the Y. NJ. @. A., because they
knew somebody a on the job.
Like You Owned the Place.
Another reason is that you don't have
to knock, show a ticket. wiggle your
first finger or roll over and play dead
to get in. You just walk in like you
were there to foreclose a first mort
gage on the place.
When you walk through the front

Lookina Throuqh a FUNNEL.

The little circle of the world you see
when you are looking through the
length of a tunnel is always beautiful
by contrast. No matter if 1t is only
a stretch Of track with a few scrubby
trees and an arch Of blue sky above
it, you, looking from the blackness OF
the tunnel, think it a picture worthy
an artists brush. To the sick good
health seems happiness enough, and
those who are In trouble ask nothing
better than a mind free from care.
But sensible people do not need to be
deprived Of life's blessings in order
to appreciate them.
