We are glad TO see q settled dispO-
sition among our citizens to discard
the "wind-bag" methods m boom
ing Salina and resort to something
more substantial. We have natural
advantages enough, and. when they
are placed before the people in fair,
straightforward way, they accom-
plish much more for our city than
initiating the iuss and feathers Of
some windy town. That kind Of
booming IL exploded. II Is the
substantial, based upon something

20 much more promising and in
much better condition in q business
view than her rivals-can be attribu-

ribbed to boom upon. Other cities
mEy have had more wind advertis-
inc than Salina, but to-day they
cannot count upon the enduring |
prosperity which Is characteristic Of |
her. You cannot deceive the lOca-
ton hunter. He viii not locate his
household gods 1.-THE city which
has done the most bowling. He
will look around for himself, and By

has fully made up his mind where
