who showed an early package Of
well known cereal food. This pack
age has gained large sale BY liberal
advertising and by having to start
with a price commensurate with that
for the same articles in the bulk.
Recently all the remaining old pack
ages in the stores carrying this food
had been taken up by the manufac-
turers and new ones put In their
places. The price per package re-
NAMED the same, the printing on the
package remained the same except
possibly for a slight change in the
size of type, and only when the two
packages were placed side by side
and 1t was seen that the new pack
age was easily placed inside the old
one with considerable spare room did
one realize the change. And as the
net weight Of the contents was not
stated on the package the taking up
of the older and larger packages had
made 1t practically impossible for the
average consumer to detect the diff
ference except by the increased fire.
quency with which he had to pur-
chase new supply. 1t was with
the greatest difficulty that DR.. Reich
man had secured one Of the old pack
ages for comparison.
Such instances as the above sug-
gest the query whether the object
in selling many foods by packages
instead of by bulk is always to give
the consumer increased purity and
cleanliness, or is sometimes for the
purpose of realizing a greater price
per pound for the goods sold. This
question can readily be answered for
himself by anyone who will take
the trouble to weigh the package
goods he is buying and see what he
Is paying per pound for the food, not
for the thick cheap paper covering
around the food. He will then be
able to compare the cost per pound
of the same food In package and by
bulk, and can Judge IL the present
sale of many foods by packages with
no weight marked on the package has
any bearing on the higl cost Of liv
ing.

dacy Of Hon, ]. W. Creech for lieu

fitness for any position that the state
Of Kansas can give.

the same ideas into the office OF lieu

pended upon that he will make one
Of the most careful and conscientious
leaders Of the Senate that Kansas
has ever known.
Mr.. Creech is recognized through
out Kansas as having stood Tor the
good things in government. He mas
been a Republican of a big proao

his fellow citizens.
The Republicans of Kansas Will n
honor themselves and their party II
they nominate and elect ]. W. Green
as lieutenant governor. We at home
who know him best, realize now
strong a man he is, and the state at

THURSDAY. APRIL %, 1910.
sTUBBs' IDEA OF REFORM.

was down at Abilene last week.
One Of my old friends had died re-
Gently, and was asking about MS
family. The widow had been In the
city the week before paying off the
funeral expenses. She found the larg-
est item was an inheritance tax that
abe had inherited from Stubbs. These
people had come to Dickinson county
in an early day. They settled on a
claim, lived through drouths, grass
hoppers, crop failure, panlcs and the
long years of hard times. AT last IN
their old age by years Of self denial
this hard working couple had raised a
family and accumulated a home and
a surplus for old age. The man is
taken first and his widow must pay
the state because her husband died.
why should the state step in at the
death of the husband and take from
the widow. Why shall not the state
make its demands when the husband
the voter, is living and when he must
be consulted about such demand? 1t
10 cowardly to impose upon de-
fenseless woman and children when
the prop Of the family is taken away
and rob the estate for the benefit OF
lazy politicians.
At the very time when the widow
and children need comfort and con-
ISOLATION, the state comes along and
says to Their, "give us a part OF what
your husband left, we must have the
money to hire politicians to teach you
how to get rid Of the flies" This Is
Stubs idea OF reform-tax everv-
body living and not content with that,
he haunts the graveyards to gather
taxes for his army Of appolntees, and
to carry on his business M like ad'
ministration. Do the people OF Kan
sas want any more reform Of the
Stubs brand? Is Stubs picture
hanging on your wall, II so, take out
your tax receipts, frame 1t and hand
1t beside than picture,
Call up your wife and children and
have them look at both, then tell
them when you are gone they can get
another tax receipt to hang on the
other side of that picture. About
that time think you will be ready
to turn that picture to the wall, and
20 looking for some other candidate
for governor. Union.

FAIR WEATHER COMPANIES.


The Supreme Court of Michigan,
in the case of the Citizens Mutual
Fire Of Holly, has knocked all the
props from under the feet of mem
bers and officers who hoped by var
ious special forms to escape liability
for assessment under their policies
There were mutual, assessment and
cash policies, the latter having been
reinsured in the American of New
ark. The result of the decision is
that the mutual policyholders are
held liable for all claims without any
return, while the cash premium pol
lev holders with the assessment clause
are also liable but get their return
premium. The moral is that mutual
fire insurance on an assessment basis
is not to be trusted. except in fair

HIGH ID, CosT OF LIVING.

During the recent conference on
weights and measures Of the United
States held at the Bureau OF stan
dards at washington Feb. 49, 1sl0'
the subject Of the high cost OF living
was referred to by the Hon. Charles
Nagel, Secretary Of Commerce and
Labor, says Prof. NJ. E. Rice, OF UNI
yersity Of Kansas, Lawrence. He
said in part: Talk about cost Oh
living! have no doubt there are
many explanations for it. Some OF
them may be charged to pure waste;
others may be charged to the greater
abundance of gold; still others to
combinations; but l believe-and l
imagine many of you belleve-that
short measure has much to do with
the cost of living today. (Applause)
You know a good doctor does not
need many symptoms to diagnose a
case. If he has a good cause ne
knows what his verdict is; and when
l find in buying bottle of wine that
much of 1t is in the bottom Of the
bottle In the shape Of glass, / know
Just exactly what people are capable
Of doing. When l know that large
concerns have to change their de-
scrlption from pint to half-bottle, l
know why they do it. One has a
distinct measure, and the other is
left to the imagination. 1t is so
throughout the trade; you know all
about 1t and l need not tell you"

cost of hauling 2O0,OO0,OOO tons dis
other words, there is direct addition
to the cost Of living Of the nation as a
whole Of $300,000,000 per annum,
which is quite unnecessary and due
simply to backward communication.
IF we take the total road mileage OF
the United States as 100000 and the
total cost Of Improvement on CLASH
fed basis, whereby the money spent
in each case is determined by the
amount Of traffic which the route in
question must accommodate, as 5000
per mile, we are compelled to the as
tonishing conclusion that the amount
which the nation directly pays as a
penalty for bad roads would in three
years time put every road in the Unit
ed States in first class condition. And
this education is independent Of all al
lowance for such indirect drains on

holds, the rural districts must have
the self-propelled vehicle because
with improved roads the economic sit,

WHO WAS Hoss9

Once upon a time, runs modern
fable, youth, about to embark on the
sea OF matrimony, went to his father
and said: Father, who should be boss,
I or my wife?"
The old man smiled and said:
Here are one hundred hens and q
team Of horses. Hitch up the horses,
nut the hens into the wagon, and wher-
ever you find man and his wife
dwelling stop and make inquiry as to
who is the boss. Whenever you find a
woman running things leave a hen
II you 1me to a place where a man
is in control, give him one OF the
horses"
After ninety.nine hens had been dis
posed of he came to a house and made
the usual inquiry.
I'm boss O. this farm" said the
man.
So the wife was called and she al
firmed her husbands assertion.
Take which ever horse you want, !
was the boys reply.
So the husband replied: I'll take
the bay
But the wife did not like the bay
horse, and called her husband aside
and talked to him. He returned and
said:
Il believe I'll take the gray horse
"Not much" said the young man
You get hen. "-Tit-Bits.

this class"
The adjustment of tariff relations
with Canada met with general ap-
proval In this country. 1t is evident
from statements made by leading
Canadians that their country shares
this approval. Mr.. Fielding. the
Canadian minister Of finance, made
the remark at the conclusion of the
negotiations that extremists on both
sides will claim that Canada and that
the United States has the better of
the bargain, but that both will be
wrong" Sir Wilfred Laurier, the
Canadian premier, said that I'VE are
not within measurable distance of
reciprocity with our neighbor." He
added that sthere are articles upon
which both the United States and
Canada can give further concessions
with mutual advantage, we believe,
and we intend to see what can be
done.'
