To offset this steady and tremendous drain upon the nation's cull f.Mmrws, there must hu a corresponding stream of dollars tin a i uk into the national treasury. Thrift stamps and war savings stamps offerthe people an op portunity (o dfpofit their daily, weekly or monthly savings with the government. In return the government will repay the principal with 4 per it:r inureet, confounded quarterly. As an example of how the iave-tor's momy will grow, sixteen war savings stamps, costing 25 cent:, each, or $ t.00 in all, with 12 cents added, will entitle the dvpi;:-itor to $r.''u ou January 1, As an investment, safety considered, there is nothing better 0:1 tl'e tearket today.

Men Left Behind Only Ones at Camp to Show Any Regret. '.'amp Funston, Kas., March 111. (Passed by the Censor) It is now permitted to be known that troops from the draft army in training at this cantonment are in the war. Many thousands of the sons of the middle-west, who have been in train ing at Funston since last fall, start ed sometime since for the ultimate goal the trenches and dugouts of France. It is not permitted to say how many men entrained some days ago for the trip overseas, nor their route to port of embarkation or name of the port. Censorship regulations also forbid publication of whether they are still in the United States or landed in France. The men from Funston did not go as a division. The nucleus of the Eighty-ninth division, from which they were taken, remains at Camp Funston. The men have been joined to another division more fully pre pared, lit like manner the Eighty ninth will be idled when its turn comes to set (out for overseas duty. Since these men left their homes in Kansas City, in Omaha, and on the farms of Nebraska, Missouri, Co'orailo. Arizona and New Mexico, and every other portion of the seven middle-western states, they have spent their time well. Drills and formations, marches, schools, prac tice hikes and musketry have kept I hem employed every day. and they have shown marked proficiency in acquiring the technique of the soldier. !n fact, they are a differ ent lot from the motley array of lerks. tradesmen .artisans and fann ers who came into camp last fall. They came as boys, for whatever of work or pleasure the camp af forded: they leave as men equipped end ready to do man's part in the world war; in defense of the princi ples for which the. middle-west stands with the nation. There was no suggestion of sad ness in their departure. Soldiers they were, and their officers had rea son to be proud of them. When their trains pulied away from the station at Funston there was a bedlam of bands, cheering and singing. The only melancholy note visible was imo!:g the men "elected" to remain bchi'id. These, however, made the best of their fate thy've learned to be soldiers and contented them selves with giving their departing comrades such a sendoff as must live in their memory through many months of active service. Officers say their period of training in France will be short. They lack only the finishing touches to bo acquired only in the vicinity t-f the battle lines; the "polish" of actual field condi tions. They are the best the middle west affords, for only the best were picked to go and those left behind may console themselves with the certainty that if they cannot be con sidered the "best" they still are head and shoulders above some of the "best" that other divisions will send. In ehie time ine war department will announce the number of the di vision to which these men have been drafted, and then the interest cf the middle-west will be divided, share and share alike, among the division in question, the regiment of engi neers that has been in France for months, and the signal battalion and Mimuunition train of the Rainbow di vision, all of which are made up from among these men of Funston. W. II. Firearm and J. Elliott, both from Smith Center, Kansas, were visiting; in this city this morn ing, just having come from Man hattan, Kansas, where they had gone with the intention of engaging in the taxi service there, but finding the business over crowded they came to this place, and have been consid ering the matter of engaging here. They will go to Omaha first and see what there is to offer there. Carl StimpsoTi and wife, accom panied by Mrs. Stimpson's brother Win. Russell of Emerson.

You Can Avoid Costly Buying Mistakes Instead of Buying Blindly from Pictures in a Catalog You Can See the Real Implement Before You Buy. This is the best year you ever saw to buy good implements, and the worst year you ever saw to buy poor ones. Crop prices are sure to be -high. All that you will have to do to make big money will be to raise big crops. And getting big crops will depend largely upon the kind of implements you use. You can't afford to risk any implement uncertainty. Infer ior implements will mean the loss of the extra bushels and extra tons that the use of good implements gives. Remember, the extra bushels and extra tons will mean a lot this year much more than enough to pay for geed implements. iurray Hardware fVlurray, FUNERAL OF T, N.
