I Did you ever top to think What a largo part of each dollar raised for Uncle Sam's war budget goes to pay the boys at the front? now do these dollars roach the trenches? When Wo reall7o that the' monthly payroll for Uncle Sam's fighting force Is now over .$100,000,000, that one-half of t!ils Is already being sent abroad and-Hint both the total payroll and the proportion of that scut abroad are rap idly lucreusing, tho magnitude ot the. task enn bo appreciated. I The first step was to provide facili ties for paying directly the allowances made to dependents of soldiers. ' The allowance to dependents under iheso regulations at present Involves the mailing from Washington each month over 700,000 checks, averaging about $25 each. I At the beginning of our entry Into the war the government was forced to abrogato payments In gold to its sol dicrs on foreign service. . . . ! Payments to troops abroad are now made either In the-currency of France or by check payablo In that currency, according to the dcslro of tho soldiers. I Tho soldier, If lio wishes, may have the government retain an allotment from his pay each month for his own benefit, as in the case of dependent al lotments. It must ho remembered, too, thnt the need of banking facilities nt the front is not confined to the handling of the small monthly stipend from the Knvcrment in all Instances. Among bolh officers and private; 'Jivro. ejs tll'6uands''b'f men1 who"poa&9Hs ftfi.wikte incomes, many of 'them large ovs. Certain trust companies Icvo en tered Into arrangements tint would enable tho soldier or sailor to get his money and to keep or spend t without low or Inconvenience. The plan which this company evolved enables the man I uniform to cash his checks immediately in every town of tmportanco lit ITrnnce. The soldier having an account with the trust company gets a receipt for the money deposited. This serves to Iden tify him at tho Paris office. A draft transfers his account to France, and his checks arc forthwith cashable nt any of several hundred correspondent 0111C9S In that country. When a soldier is not a depositor of tho trust company,' but of some other American bank, which bsnk may or may not be a customer of the Guar anty, he can obtain checking privileges In France by having lil home lmr. arrange for what Is known as.a "re volving credit.' - . Under the "revolving credit" plan, tho bank fills out a form of I'redlf loi ter. Copies of tills credit letter are sent to the Paris ollh'o of rhe (Itiar unty, and a copy III given to tho man himself. When (ho Miller arrives'. In Franco his copy . of the 'imvulv Ing credit" acts lis nil Wliiilill enlion nt the branches 7if the Ounp tolr National d Kseoiiipte de l'nrls. On presentation of this -revolving credit" letter nt any of the many brunches of Mils bank throughout France the branch hank will cash the snldler'B check drawn on his home bank. The soldier can draw his cheek In Ameri can mooey and get the equivalent' in French money at the most favorable rate of exchange. This insures that no profit is made on his transactions by reason of the difference in ex change rates. Tho check which, he draws Rocs j through the ordinary channels of tol- lection.' I In addition to the arrangement f which has just been described, 'there Is j another which Is nvnllalile to officers., j Under this commissioned oAlcers hav- i ing accounts -with the Paris office of! t he Cunrnnty Trust Company of w York can cash their checks at any of the 170 branches of the Hank of France, as follows: Olllcers below the rank of lieutenant colonel cm) cash checks for 100 francs at any one lime; n, lieutenant colonel or colonel can cash checks for 500 francs nhd n gen eral for 1,000 francs. This operation may be repeated as often as six times during a calendar month.

Do not wait until Spring and Summer when you are buried with work and worried with labor snotxage, doc nuna your granenea now. Ton can buy the lumber and roofing paper for a first-class 1000 bushel -portable granary for $54.68 and it will last for years. Sacks for the same amount of grain will cost you $125.00 and this would be a dead loss against this year's crop. A granary of this ize can bo moved anywhere and can be filled directly from the thresher doing away with high priced - labor handling and sewing sacks. - The boys in the trenches need the sacks for sand bagt for the protection of their very Uvea and perhaps your boy is among them. 1 Spend your money In your own valley by buying lumbar manufactured at home. When you buy sacks part of th money goes to India. , r , BUILD YOUR GRANARIES NOW Be prepared by building them before the farming season opens up. Me sure to get good lumber, well seasoned, si low . grade lumber will give you trouble in a few seasons. Don't use green lumber. -..! Save money keep what you spend at home prevent lots and damage from exposure to weather leave the sacks for our boys in the trenches; help win the war by building gianariei now. Portable granaries "oi this type art universally used In other sections. One trip with a good team will haul the ma. terial for one granary.
