KANSAS cOMAENT
NO CAUSE FoR WORRY


Ihere is some discussion of the ques-
ton as to what Kansas will do with
the money that is coming in from the
pig crops this year. Don't worry. Kan
fNansans are now scattering the stuff
among the curio sellers and boarding
Lcuse keepers Of Colorado. AS many
Streak at Seattle, A big bunch is be-
lLg handed over to the Mormons of
salt Lake City. The pocketbooks of ho-
Tel keepers along the great lakes are
swelling with good Kansas checks The
automobile factories are working nights
trying vainly to fill the orders from
Kansas. Everybody with patent right,
goId mine or a diamond plantation is
seIlng stock in Kansas. There is no
trouble about getting rid of part of
the surplus wealth. Kansans are the
greatest travellers and buyers on the
eartn, and they are putting the money
into circulation just as expeditiously
as possible and getting all the fun out
or 1t they can.-Hutchinson News.
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENT
NO use In talking, this is an age of
accomplishment Within recent weeks
the most sanguine have been surpris-
cd at the successful manner in which
our aviators are navigating the air, and
startled by the double announcement
tnat two Americans had reached the
North Pole. But to cap 1t all, here
comes man who says he has the cor

AUTHORITY.
1t is reported that the former sultan
of Turkey is pining away, and will not |
authority. But careful investigation
would probably reveal another reason;
probably it is his liver or his con-
science. For Abdul Hamid. retired by
request, is in a better position to en- |
joy life than when lodging bombs and
bouquets about the Yildiz Kiosk. 1t is
a very human trait to long for author
ity. but the realization is rarely up to
anticipation in this particular. There !
is the czar, with authority almost alb
solute over millions. He doesn't have
much fun. Take a case nearer home:
The umpire is supreme authority in all
we'll regulated games. He can fine
plyaers, and put them out of the game

hated and distrusted man on the dia-
mond. Even in the ordinary walks of
life, the boss has lot. of troubles the
rest of the force are not bothered
with.-Atchison Globe.
BUILD NOW.
The thing to do if you are going to
build a house soon, is to build it now.
A Gazette reporter was talking with
hardware men and lumber men and
they say that next spring prices will
soar skyward. The prosperity has 1
made labor hard to get. and material
high, and the tariff was particularly
hard on building material, so it will
cost more to build. I
The thing to do is to build now.
Now is the time Let your founda-
IONS weather cure during the winter
before you put the finish on. 1t will
save money, and even If prices are
high, times will be good There is this
much about high prices-they make
high rent, and so it is just as well to t
build now and save work all winter, {
md that is something.-Emporia Ga /
