WAR RISK INSURANCE

The Bureau of War Risk Insurance
wishes to emphasize the Importance
to service men of one of the provis-
ions of the War Risk Insurance Act
upon the fulfIlment of which may de
pend the validity of their claim to
compensation under the Act
The War Risk Insurance Act pro-
vides that EtNo Compensation shall be
payable for death or disability which
does not occur prior to or within one
year after discharge or resignation
from the service, except that where,
after medical examination made
pursuant to regulations at the time
of discharge or resignation from the
service, or within such reasonable
time thereafter, not exceeding one
year, as may be allowed by regula-
tions, a certificate has been obtained
from the director to the effect that
the injured person at the time of his
discharge or resignation was suffering
from injury likely to result in death
or disability
Many discharged men are not fam
iliar with are inclined to disregard
this provision of law and are allowing
their rights Hereunder to lapse.
Request for the certificate mention
ed above should be made to the Chief
Medical Advisor, Bureau of War Risk
Insurance, Washington, D. c.

TOURIST CLUB BANQUET

1t is a common saying that Nthe
shortest way to a mans heart IS
through his stomach" and if that was
the idea of the ladies of the Tourist
Club in entertaining their husbands
at a banquet last Friday evening at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. T. B. Hays,
the husbands are perfectly willing for
the entertainment to be repeated every
little while. The banquet is an annual
event and as much enjoyed by those
who give it as by those who have the
honor and privilege of being guests.
In the absence of Mrs. Long, president
of the club, Mrs. W. G. Baker, vice
president, received the guests upon
their arrival This was a two-course
turkey dinner with all the necessary
trimmings which go along with the
great American bird. Tables were
arranged for the entire company to
be seated at once, their places being
marked with dainty little place cards
and at each plate was humorous ex-
tract clipped from newspaper and
saved especially for this occasion.
Reading these clippings brought out
many hearty laughs. The best of good
feeling prevailed throughout the even
ing and many thrusts of sarcasm,
darts of wit and passes of humor
were exchanged. Following the din
ner the evening was spent with social
converse ton, acting charades and
guessing conundrums. In the CONVEX
sationa1 the ladies easily excelled and
at the same time wonders why the
gentlemen were so still. The gentle
men expressed a willingness to talk
if they could have seen a chance to
get in a few words. At any rate, the
gentlemen are convinced that if all
the meetings of the club are inter
esting and profitable this one some
import subjects will be handled in a
very able manner in the meetings
which are to be held during the com
ing season. Long live the Tourist
Club

CLOTHING FOR ARMENIA
Week of October 20 to 27 Designated
For Collecting of Garments

The American Committee for Ar
menian and Syrian Relief is in re-
ceipt of an imperative call for worn
and new clothing for this winters
use.
The committee has arranged for a
boat to sail from New York Novem-
Der 18th to carry the clothing collect
ed for relief work. Those who wish to
give clothing, or to collect clothing
for this cause, must prepay the
charges on the clothing to New York.
1t is too expensive for the committee
to pay the charges to New York but
the Committee will pay the charges
from New York to the Near East If
you wish to give clothing send it to
The American Committee for Armen-
ian and Syrian Relief. One Madison
Ave, New York City, charges pre-
paid, to reach there in time for ship
ment on the relief boat.

ADVANCEMENT IN NAVY

A number of the middle western
listed recently at the Kansas City
Navy recruiting Office with the an
nounced intention of winning their
way to Annapolis
1.There is plenty of opportunity for
them,n said Lieut. Commander Rich
ards today. e@The Navy regulations
now provide that 100 boys will be ac-
cepted for Annapolis each year but
only one-third of the possible hundred
have taken advantage of the oppor-
tunity. This is probably due to the
fact that the age limit at Annapolis
is 20, and that there have not been
sufficient boys in the Navy who had
high school training or the, equivalent
of it, and were still within the age
limit after having spent a year at
sea which is required %
ttThere is a further opportunity for
the older boys, however," continued
Commander Richards, ttSince enlist
ed men reaching the rank of warrant
officer before coming SO years old
and who pass the examination for
ensign receives a commission and
steady promotion thereafter. This op-
portunity has not been fully taken ad-
vantage of either" according to Com
mander Richards
1t was further added that plenty of
opportunity is given the boys for
study

I. H. PHAREs DISAPPEARED

Word was received here Monday
evening by N. w. Phares that his son,
l. H Phares, of Pa1co, had disappear
ed Sunday afternoon and his where
abouts have since been unknown For
the last two or three months he had
been in the mercantile business at
Palco with his brother and from all
reports was doing exceptionally well
and just why he should disappear is
not known For the last two years he
has not been in good health but wheth-
er that had anything to do with his
strange action is speculation. Mr..
Phares and son, Thurman, went over
to Palco today to help aid in the
search and it is hoped some trace of
him will be found. l. H. Phares is
about thirty-five years old, husky built
in statue and about six feet tall,
smooth face and blue eyes. Address
information regarding him to his wife
at Palco or his father, N. w. Phares,

PREPARING FOR RED CROSS
DRIVE

Mrs J-C- Cortright, Roll Call Dir
ector for Trego County recently re-
turned from Topeka where confer
ence of Red Cross officers and Roll
Call Directors was held.
The keynote of the meeting was or
ganization and the fact that people
do not want to junk the Red Cross.
Hereafter Roll Call each year will be
in celebration of Armistice Day. The
drive will open Sunday, November
End, when all ministers will be asked
to say something in favor of the drive
and by November 11th, it is hoped the

TOO MUCH MOISTURE

1t doesn't happen very often in a life
time that western Kansas gets too
much moisture but that is the con-
dltlon just now. The wheat stacks
were getting dry enough that some of
them could be threshed when more
rain and wet weather set in and no
good threshing can be done now for
a week or ten days of good weather
The grain which has been threshed
lately has been so damp that it can
not be handled by the elevators and it
has seemed worse than useless to
thresh it. It is estimated that the top
third of the stacks has grown and
spoiled now so that it is useless It
may be necessary to delay the remain
der of the threshing until the stacks
freeze dry next winter. The wet
weather is also delaying sowing the
crop this fall, but there is a great
deal of volunteer wheat and many of
the farmers are going to give it a
trial for crop next year.

LOCAL NEWS ITEMS

1t required both the jury and the
justice of the peace to settle case in
justice court Monday. The jury could
not agree and by mutual consent the
justice was asked to decide it, He
voted in favor of the plaintiff The
case was that of J. R. Motley against
George Jacob Mai, the subject they
being unable to settle was a threshing
bill Motley has been running a
threshing outfit out south of town
this year and in the case in court Mai
refused to settle with him for the
amount of the machine measure,
holding that settlement should be
made upon the amount of wheat which
was hauled to town. Motley brought
suit for machine measure and after
the jury had head the evidence and
after the preliminary voting and spar
ring, the six men lined up three and
three and failed to reach an agree
ment- The case was then turned over
to Justice Acre for settlement and he
decided in favor of the plaintiff, Mot
