PUZZLE: FIND THE LESSON

There is an exceedingly practical
lesson for the average merchant hid
den in a paragraph in the Larned
Chronoscope-and it isn't hidden very
deeply either. A small amount of
excavating will uncover it. and If
should be especially valuable to the
country merchant who complains of
the entertainments made by the big
mail order houses on his trade.
Here is the paragraph:
over 500 Sears-Roebuck cata-
logues were received in the Larned
postoffice Wednesday morning. 1t
took forty-six sacks to hold them 1t
is said that each catalogue costs the
firm one dollar to print. 1t took %
cents in postage for each catalogue
That means over $500 for the books
and 800 for postage. Six hundred
dollars spent in Larned alone by one
mail order house for advertising And
yet some local merchants who sell
better articles at cheaper prices than
the mail order houses are letting trade
get away from them simply because
they will not observation-disclosures they
don't believe in advertising. Does
advertising pay? Ask Sears Roebuck.
The only thing on earth that keeps up
the mail order house is Advertising

with Holton?
A dog at Ell Dorado bit child. The
dog, it is explained, was not mad. but
the child's parents were, and the dog

A box containing some bones, supposed

The Kingman Cattlemen's Picnic will
be held this year on August 1928. 1t is
hoped that summer will be far enough
advanced by that time that overcoats
will not be necessary. The cattlemen's
picnic at Kingman is one of the big
annual events of the southwest.
A Horton young man was in the habit
of taking his dog along for company
when he went to see his steady, accord
ing to the Headlight. The dog usually
sat outside. Now the couple have call
ed it off, but the dog still calls in the
evening and sits outside the door.
Ever hear of a clothespin social. The
women of Norwich gave one recently,

ing to dinner the woman who draws
the twin of his clothespin.

market but could not get anyone to do
the work. Now he is offered 80 cents
busheI on the Ellinwood market and
says he will hold it for a dollar a bushel
The Colby Commercial club recently
received a proposition from an eastern
firm stating that they would put in a
cement block plant in Colby if the city
would give them a bonus of 81, 900. The
Commercial club in reply told them
that if the city and it's business men
wanted a cement plant they would
build one and buy a few carloads of
material with the $4,000, and IL when
that was done they were unable to find
some fellow closer home who would ac-
cept it as a gift they would keep them
in mind and make the deed out in their
name.

TRUSTS AND NEWSPAPERS.

1.-THE greatest trust evil today" says
Senator Beverage, 'is the corrupt
control of many of the newspapers by
trusts. street railway companies, and
other predatory corporations. For
this evil there is no remedy but in the
people themselves. Somehow or 9TH
er, the people must come to know
about these things"
And some how or other, the people
do come to know about them. The
public speedily recognizes it when a
newspaper caters to. or is controlled
by corporate interests. and such pa
pers are rarely successful financially.
A notable instance of this has just
happened in Chicago in the suspension
of the Chicago Chronicle. Typograph-
ically the Chronicle was the handsom-
est paper in Chicago. It was ably
edited and it's news features were ex-
cellent, yet it was a financial failure.
The personal organ of John r. Walsh
the indicted Chicago banker and
plunger, it was the recognized organ
of certain corporate interests. and .af-
ter the failure of Walsh it could not
survive. notwithstanding it's excellent
appearance and brilliant editorial
management. it could not live on its
legitimate support. Some time ago it
was remarked by a Topeka newspa-
per man that the Chronicle did not
carry an inch of Chicago advertising
aside from railroad and theatrical an
nouncements and a small amount of
financial matter
Senator Beveridge is right about the
corrupt control of some newspapers
by trusts and corporations being an
evil, but it is not so great an evil as he
seems to think, because the public is
not easily fooled in the matter.

ONE RESULT.

While some people are urging just now
that private corporation will light
the streets, of Topeka better and cheap
er than the city can do it itself, it is a
good time to recall what municipal own
ership has done for the water system of
Topeka
Under private ownership three or four
years ago the water was VIGOROUSLY
muddy much of the time Many people
were afraid to drink 1t. Besides that
the pressure was extremely poor. In
some houses the water would not run
on the second floor if faucet on the first
floor was open. There was constant COM
plant among business men because the
city was in great danger from fire
through low water pressure. 1t is assert
ed that some of the serious fires that To-
peka had three or four years ago were
due to that cause. Under private owner
ship, too, it was impossible to secure ex-
tensions to those portions of the city
that were without water service and fire
protection.
The city bought the water system,
paying what many people believe was
an exorbitant price, but notwithstanding
that the service has been tremendously
improved and the rates have been no
higher than formerly-and as soon as
certain improvements and extensions are
completed few months hence, the rates
viii doubtless be lowered.
Under municipal ownership there is no
longer complaint about dirty and i'm
pure water No longer is anything said
about fire danger, caused by low pressure
Already vast amount of extensions
and improvements have been made in
the system, and it will not be long I'M
til practically the whole city will have
water service.
People accept this improved service as
matter of course, yet they have only
to look back three or four years to per-
ceive the tremendous Improvement there
has been in the water service of Topeka,
and at no additional cost to the con-
sumner. In fact, the rates have been
kept up to the former point only in or
der to make extensions of the system.
That is the difference between munic-
ipal ownership and private ownership
When you are told that a private cor
poration will give the city better light
service at less rates than the city can
give itself, just remember this exper-
fence with the water system. In reali-
ty, with a modern electric plant, the
city can light it's own streets and save
a great amount of money
