PUT YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER Our bank Is making every effort to so order lta affair that It may be able to take Its share of the 13.000. 000,000 of treasury certl&lcates which the secretary ot the treasury baa asked the banks of the nation to purchase at frequent Intervals In an ticipation of the next Issue of Liber ty bonds. We have also urged all In terior bank clients, who have asked our advice, to comply as far as pos sible, with tbe secretary's request. The vast operations of the war are calling for a veritable flood of money and the weather and transportation conditions are wholly Inopportune for a large bond issue Just at this time. It Is therefore altogether fitting that the banks of the country should place at the disposal of the government sufficient of their resources to bridge over the period when a permanent financial program must for. the time being be anticipated by temporary loans. The situation Is comparable to that which, would confront the banks of a community in which Is located a very large industrial con cern of undoubtedly financial stabll Ity upon whose successful and con tinuous operation tb prosperity and development of that community de pended. If snch a concern were sud denly confronted with a demand for temporary funds in order that It might continue to operate pending the completion of arrangements to bond its property and thus perma nently finance its requirements, no bank In that vicinity would hesitate to contribute even at considerable sacrifice Its share of the amount needed by the industrial concern to(he went to San .Antonio?

Dear Folks: This is thi Bret opportunity that I've had to write to you sine I left th U. 8. We have'eertainly had a great trip serosa the pond. , I was pretty sea sick fori flv or six days, but soon got what they called my sea legs, then I was all right. , It didn't both er Ted a bit, though, tbe boat we came over In was a large one and did not rock so much ss a small one would have. It also has quit a his tory attached to it. Th prettiest river, 1 believe 1 ever saw, was In Scotland, the river Clyde. It Is not as wide as Rogue river, but Is very deep and, farms are all along the banks. The houses are all made of stone. , What looked good to me was the oak trees snd green grass. From there we had an 18 hour ride on the train (carriages, the Scotch rati them) about the slse of the yellow car that used to run on the C. C. A O. C. Their engines are very small, compared to ours but they can travel though. Farms and houses in England are about like those of S-otland and Ireland. It Is lots more hilly than I expected.. We have an awful time with our money here. It is comical to watch the boys. Th canteens and the Y. M. C. A., are the only places where we can buy anything, so tbe boys had their money changed then walk ed Into these places and told what they wanted. They hand out a hand full of English money for them to help themselves. Here a dollar makes a whole pocket full of change. Every- j thing here, except tobacco and cigar ettes, are cheaper than In th states. I wrote you folks a letter from New York and also sent some csrds from West Virginia. Did you get them? It seems funny that you will not get this before the last of this month, or the first of March, snd that Is If it has good luck ; snd catches a boat right back. Anyhow letters from now on will be far be tween, as I, understand we are only alIowed manT letter a w'k' ,nat are sent without stamps, only being marked, "Soldier's mall."

The coffins were placed In the renter of the deck and each was covered with "Old Ulory ' while grouped about were teverat bluejackets. The rending ol the funeral service over-, the band from the flagship played "Nearer My God to Thre." Then the coffins were lowered Into the ships hold.

Queen, surgeon on one of the destroyers, who came to the navy from Texas and who denth Is the first from dlaeas since the srrivsl of th American forces "over here. The other three were victim of accidents on board their ships. They were William Lusso, an elec trician of Kansas City and Msrtln O'Callaghan and John Bouik. water lenders.

One o'clock on a brHht Jitnmry Royal Master Model Ten the ten-years-ahead typewriter And Why Does Big Business Choose the ROYAL? "Big business" Is big because it is organized and managed for tomorrow, and next year and years ahead. "Big business" buys and uses Royal Typewriters Big business can't afford to have the "Trading-in" nuisance every so often In its typewriting department. - Big business knows the leaking time when work is held up while typewriters are being repaired. Big business knows the time lost when operators have to "fight'? their machines. - Big business knows that the Royal is instantly adjusted to the personality of the operator, that the ROYAL has long life built into ft, that the ROTAL does all a typewriter should do . i i .
