Why the Paper Keeps Coming.

The Shreveport Caucasian saws:
We were asked this week by a de-
linquent subscriber why we kept
on sending the paper after the sub
scription expired. Here is the
answer by the Gibbsland News,
which may be applied in a general
sense to newspapers having a
weekly edition circulating in the
country:
"Should we stop subscriptions
when the time expires, nine times
times out of ten the subscriber
would give us calling down for
insinuating that his credit was no
good. Rather than cast "a refec-
ton on the honesty of subscriber
to pay a small debt, it is next to
a necessity for a home paper to
continue sending the paper after
the time has expired. 1t is not
necessary for the city dailies or
weeklies to follow this rule, as their
subscribers live at distance and
are not personal friends as in the
case with majority of our sub
scribers. Our subscribers should
deem it an honor to know that
we do not doubt their integrity
and continue to send them the pa
per after their time has expired.
Should any desire their paper dis
continued, they should notify us
and remit to date, if they have not
already done So"

Burning up Money"

That is the title of an editorial
in the Winfield (Kan.) Courier,
which is so very significant we
reprint it here.
"The Courier's mail nowadays
is burdened with pamphlets and
arguments from the Liquor Deal
ers Association trying to prove
that prohibition is a failure, and
that true temperance is only pro-
noted by moderate use of their
wares. If the brewers and distil-
lers only knew it they are wasting
their time and money in flooding
Kansas with this sort of literature.
We have a living refutation of
their arguments. Winfield has
gotten along without their goods
for many years and has grown and
prospered, has built schools, col
leges ard churches, has erected
splendid homes and imposing pub
lie buildings, has developed its
municipal utilities of light, water
and sewerage, and has attracted a
class of citizens with sound minds,
clean bo1ies and home loving hab-
its. Of course, we have lost some
population. The bibulous buns
have gone. The gambling frater-
nifty has vanished and the "dead
game sports have sought new
fields. But we have not missed
them; in fact, their going was
about as noticeable as a hole in
the center of tub of water. So
with these visible evidences of the
failure of prohibition all about us
the Courier would suggest to the
liquor men that they could save
both postage and printing and ac-
comme,date the overworked post

WINGED that saloons do not pay, il

Attorney c. P. Barns, of Wood
stock, is out for local option, and
1t is reported that he will deliver
speech in favor of local option
at the opera house in. that city the
coming week.
Two years ago he voted against
local option and delivered several
speeches for that side at 800 per
night, but has refused the same
offer this year. When interview
ed this week he gave us the fol-
lowing for publication:
Il have given this matter care

out and take strong stand in
favor of local option.
"A few days ago / made a list
OF the most important criminal

the crimes committed by the men

Application of Concrete.

1t would be impossible to enumer-
ate all of the purposes for which con-
crete can be utilized. What can be
done in Europe is one indication,
but in America the variety of work
which can be done with it is far great
er. 1t has been said that we have
reached the age of concrete, but at
present we are only beginning in the
use of this material, and no one can
tell to what extent it will be used ten
years hence. Already. in building
construction, it has been largely de-
pended upon in the erection of facto-
ries of various kinds. In New York
city stands an office building well
termed "monolith," since it il merely
a great mould of this material. The
use OF concrete in supports OF various
kinds, either with or without steel
reinforcement is shown in the many
types OF pillars, piles IN submarine
work, concrete foundations for dwell
ings. as well as stores, while the skel-
eton of the office building is now be-
ing constructed OF concrete and steel,
instead of the metal skeleton which
came with the era of tall building.
The use of concrete forstoring heavy
material is instanced in the cOnstruc-
tion of grain elevators at different
points along the Great Lakes, since
the material has such lateral pres
sure resistance. Warehouses which
must sustain great weight are also
being constructed not merely with
concrete walls, but concrete frame
work, and the floors themselves may
be of the same MATERIALLY. A. Viii

Office authorities by keeping their
literature at home and to read to

Really, if prohibition had failed
in Kansas, the Kansans would
scarcely need the literature of the
liquor men of other States to tell
them so, after all these years.
