By FRANCI8 H. SI880N,
Vice President Guaranty Trust Com-
pany of New York.
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.
It a soldier does not have a check- I
ing account ut a tank or docs not wish
to open one another safe, convenient
and economical menus for CKrrylng
ready funds both on the trip across
mid while on tho other sldu is pro
vided. , Tills Is a few form of "service
check."
A still further convenience for the
soldier nt the front Is an automobile
bank, which also hns been established
In Purls hv Ihe fiuarnntv TrtiRt Com-ir
pany of New York and which will reg- '
ulnrly carry money to our men in the '

Mr. Grain Farmer:
Are you prepared to. handle your grain In bulk?
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. For particulars as well as prices on
Union County lumber for all farm purposes, see
