WHAT THE rARIFF DOES.

Here are some items from trade
papers that will interest the farmer
of Kansas whose prosperity is based
on good prices for products. He has
received high prices under the Re-
publican. tariff laws; he is to find
new competition from cheap labor
countries under the Democratic tar
iff law.
This is from Chicago: George A.
somerville of wellington, New zea-
land, is opening an office here and
expects to do quite business In
Australian butter. Mr.. Somerville
said prospects for a large make were
good. He is able to quote the finest
grade OF New Zealand butter for
December and January delivery at
24c, New Zealand. With a &c freight
rate. Mr.. Somerville said that
many creameries are asking rs 20 26c
New Zealand but he thinks quite a
quantity can be bought at FAC. He
claims that large quantities can be
brought in to the Atlantic coast as
the freight rate is only Nc greater
and the butter will be nearer the
consuming centers. He is taking
sample orders, and expects to see
quite movement even this season. !"
This il from New York: During
the week egg receivers have been
asked II they were interested IN
shipments of Russian eggs to this
market. These eggs can be laid
down here at 1Sc. The shipments
would come direct from Russian
ports and from the original packers
and not through London to be re-
handled in that market II the
eggs come under refrigeration they
would be cheap at the figures quot
ed under the present market"
A dispatch from Chicago the 9th
err day said: more than million
pounds of fresh dressed meats ar
rived here today from Canada, the
first importation under the new
tariff which admits dressed meats
free of duty. The prices ranged
from 6 ga to cents pound, which
is lower than Chicago packers usual
" pay for beef on the hoof." -Four
hundred carloads of Canadian cat
tie crossed the Niagara Falls bridge
the first week after the tariff was
removed. If Canada is going to
keep that up, where is our market
for cattle going to land us? There
is no doubt If dressed meat at such
prices continues to come in by the
million pounds from Canada we
shall see the high cost Of living take
tumble, but we shall also see the
price OF hogs and cattle fall like
an air ship when its engine blows
up. In decreasing the high cost OF
living is the new tariff going to
demoralize the farming industries OF
the country. What Is the answer?

Abilene Cemetery association met in
regular session last night and re-
organized following the regular an
nual meeting. Henry Johntz was
reelected president, G. W. Schrein-
er vice president; R. M. White,
treasurer; J. A. Graves, secretary.
The president then announced the
following committees: Finance, J.
B. Case, r. M. White, Jacob Brown.
Grounds. G. w. sdhreiner H. J.
Hodge, A. w. Rice.
After a discussion Of financial
matters the following motion was
unanimously adopted. that at the
next regular meeting of the board,
November "a, 1918, the price of all
unsold lots be advanced 100 per
cent.
The lots in Abilene cemetery are
much lower than in other places,
and even at the advance will not be
equal to Junction City and smaller
places which employ a sexton per-
manently. The matter Of paying
interest on the land recently bought
as an addition, planting and carry
ing for trees. fencing and the or
binary care OF the cemetery has abb
sorbed all the income; and it Is now
planned to create q fund that win
pay off the debt. develop the streets,
build q rest house, house for the
sexton, a receiving vault and put in
more complete system Of water
works. Lots are sold for cash only
and all who desire them at their
present prices should avail them
selves at the earliest opportunity.

PUBLIC CAN NOW BUY
POSTAL REGULATIONS BOOK

A new volume of the general pos
tai regulations has been received at
the Abilene postoffice, the first for
eleven years. The last book of the
kind was issued in 1902, and since
that time with all of the many
changes the office force has had
only the one volume of regulations.
With special orders coming every
few weeks it was a big job to keep
them all tabulated, so that they
could be reached afterwards with
out trouble. Now the new book
embodies all Of these properly in
dexed and easy to find.
Many changes have been made in
the conduct of the postal business
in the eleven years that have clap
sed since the last regulations were
issued. During that time the par
eel post, the postal savings system,
a large part Of the rural carrier
regulations and many other features
have been added to the duties and
we're not shown in the original vol
ume. A new order permits the sale
Of the volume at IS cents and it is
worth It to any business man.

Those who think commission gov
eminent will transform town into
a section of the Garden Of Eden
without any further effort might
learn something about the "elimina-
tion of politics under that plan by
'meditating on the remarks of F.
G. Pierce of Marshalltown, Iowa,
before the Kansas Municipal Lea
que. He is secretary of the League
of Iowa Municipalities and close
student of municipal government.
He stated the situation fairly when
he said that zone of the arguments
universally used for the adoption
of the commission plan was that 1t
would eliminate politics and result
in the election Of better class of
men, but my observation has led
me to the conviction that politics
has not been eliminated, that the
best records under commission gov
eminent have been made by men
who held office under the old sys-
tenn and that there has been no par
ticular Improvement in the class of
men elected"
