PAYING is HARD JOB
One of Most Difficult Tasks in Giving
Soldiers Discharges.


s(By Union Pacific r. r. Press Bureau)
Camp Funston, Kan, Jan. THE
heaviest portion of the huge work of
discharging men at Funston falls on
the finance department of the camp,
for which the discharge work is in
charge of Capt. VIM. Richie, jr. In
addition to the routine closing of serv-
ice records, hundreds of difficult prob
lens are presented for solution every
day. One of the most novel cases is
that in which the men have seen for
eign service in England, France, Italy
or even Russia and have incurred OBJ
legations or have been partially paid
in the currency of those countries.
AS the rates of ex -hange vary from
time to time the date - payment or
obligation due must be determined.
Then the amount in pounds francs.
rubles or lire must be translated into
the American figures in accordance
with the rate of exchange in force at
that time. The whole thing presents
a task that keeps many experts busy.
In the final paying off of men in
the finance office Capt. r. T. Marys,
the paymaster has established a rec
ord of 407 men in an hour. The can
Torment finance department as a
whole is under Capt C. J. Burson.

HE NEEDS HIS SON
KanSan Wants To Know Why
He's Held in Army.
Says He Is Needed at Home To
Feed Stock.

I William Wells. of Quinter. Kan,
enters protest against the retaining
in camps of the farmer boys who are
needed at home. He has a son in the
army. and during the boys absence
he is feeding his own stock and the
sons also. He declares that he has
presented the case to the sons COM
manding officer without success.
Wells's letter, is in part as follows:
t Il believe that the farmer fathers
of the state should know why our
boys are held in camps when they are
SO much needed at home. They are
nothing but an expense to the govern
ment while they are in camp, where
they are no longer needed, whereas
they are so much needed on the farms.
Son At Camp Funston.
MY own son is at Camp Funston,
and 1 am at home doing the work of
two men. 1 have no help in the care
of my stock, and have to walk half
a mile twice every day and have done
so during all the stormy weather, to
feed and water my sons stock in ad-
dition to all the rest of the work.
have tried to lay the situation before
his commanding officer, but without
success.
I'VE are reading in the newspaper
that we are to feed the world. How
| in the name of common reasoning do
US to feed the world when so many
of the farmers are held in military
camps Meanwhile, the government
| debt continues to pile up. Yet the
| boys are held in the camps. being of
no use to the government or anyone
else.
Couldn't Get Help.
ST tried to get the matter before
the commanding officer when 1 was
| sick in bed for two weeks with influ-
enza, and had no one to finish sowing
my wheat for me, but there was moth
| ing doing. Still, we are told that we
| must feed the world. If those who
sit around and talk about it and draw
| big salaries for doing it, would help
US farmers to feed the world by re-
| leasing the boys, we might stand a
| better chance of providing the food
that is going to be required. My son
was the only boy 1 had, and they took
him away when his place was not yet
| paid for. The country has more mil
| lionaires than before the war, but the
poor man is a lot poorer than he was.

lish everlasting peace, the people of
Europe would be justified in consid-
ering us insane"

of Isaiahs prophesies, that this was
the case. Hence he said, Il am come
to preach the acceptable year of the
gladsomelord." Isaiah Gil G. Luke
4:19. Now this acceptable year, is
the year of the Introduction of the
gladstone tidings of the gospel into
the world.
Let us then trace the resemblance,
between the year of jubilee. and the
gospel dispensation. Let us notice first
in the blessings conferred, and too, in
the circumstances connected with it's
proclamation. Notice with respect to
the Jubilee the blessings it conferred.
The term jubilee signifies, sound of
joy, or glad proclamation and this joy
full sound, related to five things"
The remission of debts. Those who
through adverse Circumstances we're
unable to meet the demands of their
creditors, were now freed from their
obligations. This is the first striking
trait of resemblance. The gospel pub
fishes to a guilty world, the "remis-
sion of sins" Christ said, repentance
and remission of sins should be
preached in his name, among all ma
tions, beginning at Jerusalem. Luke
24:47.) Christ came to forgive sins.
Christ died to forgive sins. Christ
arose again, that forgiveness of sins,
might be preached. Christ is exalted
to give remission of sins. The Jubilee
was a year of Liberation from bond,
age. Hence the bond servants were
now liberated, and obtained their free
dom, once more. The gospel also
proclaims liberty to the bound by
knowing it's truths. Men are made
free. Free from sin, free from the
effect of sin, free from death, free
from hell, free from Instruction and
free from doing what the devil wants
us to do. / thank God; that I am in
Truth, and I am in favor of it.
The Devil is against the Church,
favor with everything that the Devil
is against. The Devil is against the
and l am for it.
The Devil is against God and I am
for him.
The Devil is against heaven and !
am for it.
The Devil is against going to the
Church and am for it.
