AMERICANS ALWAYS WANT
SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.

A government inspector who was
investigating fraudulent mail or
der scheme recently questioned many
women who had been robbed by the
company. They received instead a
sharp rebuke.
Didn't you know" the inspector
asked, that you couldn't buy an
article like that for a dollar? You
know the value of such goods in
reliable shops. You know that the
price is about the same everywhere.
How did you expect mail order
concern to sell you the something
at a fifth of the regular price?
Were you trying to get something
for nothing?"
The question was fair one. A
writer on economic subjects has de-
clared that the desire to get some
thing for nothing is the "fundamen-
tai immortality of life" Every wo-
man should remember that remark.
AS far as shopping is concerned,
there are sometimes legitimate bar
gains-if the shopper is willing to
pay the price for them in time and
strength. At the end of the season
and at stock taking time almost
every large store has clearance saless.
at which goods that are left over
are sold at reduced prices; occa-
sionally, also, special opportuni-
ties" arise, and the shopper who
watches for them, and who buys on
ly of trustworthy firms, can get
good value for her money.
The immortality of trying to obtain
something for nothing is just as
real in the other activities of life as
1t is in shopping. There are no
short cuts to intellectual success
there are not even any stock taking
or end-of-the-seaso sales there. A
person must pay for each acquire
ment by months and years of toll.
There are no bargains in friend
ships. A girl who would have
friends must show herself friendly.
There are no special opportunities
for fullness of life. 1t is won only
by greatness of service.
Not bargains, but honest values,
paid for, in any depart
ment of life-that should be the
object OF any girl or woman who
wishes to make success Of living.

EVANGELICAL TEAM
BEATS THE SENATOR'S.

The second game Of the Sunday
school base ball league was played
last evening at the fair grounds.
The contest was between the Evan
gelicals and Senators. The former
we're the winners by the score OF
10 to 6. 1t was a good ball game
and would have been evenly match
ed but for one bad inning for the
senator's. In the third inning six
scores were tailed against them.
Tonight a o'clock sharp the
Methodists and Loyal Sons will play.
The new schedule has been drawn
up and no game was arranged for
July 4th. 1t is understood the SEN
ators have challenged any of the
other teams for a game on that date.
However, it will not count as q
league game.

CITY COMMISSIONERS MET.
Spent Considerable Time Discussing
Spruce Street Paving.

The city commissioners met in
regular session this morning. The
usual routine business was trans
acted and the current bills allowed.
Considerable time was spent in
arguing the Spruce street paving
question. Some who had signed the
petition wanted their names taken
off and the lawyers on both sides
argued the question whether they
had the right to do SO after the
paving contract bids were in. The
question also came up whether they
should wait until the new paving
law was tested until further con-
tracts were let. No action was TAX
an on either Of the propositions.
A petition has also been filed
asking for the paving of Cottage
avenue east of the Belle Springs
creamery. The petition shows that
n majority of the property owners
have signed in favor Of the paving.
1t will probably be ordered in.

COLD WAVE BROKE
THE RECORD FOR JUNE.

Yesterday was the coolest June
day recorded here for many years.
In fact but few people can remem-
Der the time when a June day was
as cold as yesterday. Overcoats
were brought out and even at that
many people shivered all day. A
cold northeast wind blew all day
long and added to that was a driz-
cling rain. The lowest point reaeh-
ed during the day was 4S while the
highest point reached was So. This
was about 20 degrees less than nor
NAL. The reports indicate that the
cold wave was general over this part
and the east part of the state.

COUNT THE CITY MAIL.
Every Piece Must Be Counted Begin
ming This Week.

ming This Week.
Commencing today and continu-
ing for one week, the city mail car
riers of Abilene will count and clas-
sify all the mail they handle.
One of the most important mat
ters connected with the order is that
the carriers must also count the
mail receptacles which the patrons
of Uncle Sam have provided at their
doors. BY doing so the depart
ment hopes to get more of them.
While there is no rule that peo-
pie cannot have their mail delivered
to them If they fail to comply with
the order, yet people will find it
much better, safer and more con-
venient If they will provide the re-
ceptacles or boxes at their doors.
When the carriers make their
daily reports 1t will also be neces-
sary for them to include the amount
Of time It takes for them to cover
their routes and also the average
number of pieces OF mail handled
by them q minute.
By having to make count Of the
mail for just a week the city car
riers have the rural carriers bested.
The rural men must count the mail
during the entire month Of June.

Washington, June 9.-The grass
hopper problem in New Mexico Is a
serious one, according to Harrison
E. Smith, chronological expert OF
the department of agriculture at
Elida, New Mexico, who asked the
government to help fight the pest.
He telegraphed the department that
he had not been able to get aid from
the farmers.
Smith also reported that attor-
neys have decided that poison can
be used in the fight against the
grasshoppers, although 1t was fear
ed a few days ago that a state law
would prohibit It.

Minnesota Won Substantial victory
in Supreme Court.
CONGRESS ALSO HAS THE RIGHT
Decision Handed Down by Justice
Hughes-Gives States Power
Even Over Congress to
Fix Rates.

Washington, June 1O.-The state
NJ Minnesota won a substantial VIC
tory in the supreme court TO-DAY
when in the Minnesota state rate
case, Justice Hughes for the court
held that the rates Of the Minneapo-
1,s g. st. Louis railroads were con-
f,scatory and unconstitutional, but
that the rates of the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern were valid
The decision was victory for the
state on the interstate commerce
phases Of the controversy and upon
the confiscatory features with the
exception of the portion affecting
the Minneapolis and st. Louis.
In effect the supreme courts de-
cision upholds the right OF the Min
nesota commission and the legisla-
ture to prescribe a passenger rate
of 2 cents a mile and a maximum
freight rate provided always those
rates are not confiscatory.
Justice Hughes said in the opin-
ion:
"The states may make regulations
although interstate commerce is In
cidentally affected.
Congress must be the Judge OF
the necessity for federal action or
regulation or the necessity to dis
place local laws by laws Of its own.
Until congress acts the power OF
the state is in plenary."
1. The constitution gives con-
gress an authority, at all times ade-
quate, to secure the freedom of In
terstate commercial intercourse
from state control and to provide
effective regulation Of that inter-
course as the natural interests may
demand.
2. The commerce that Is con-
fined within one state, N1d does not
affect other states, is reserved to
the state. This reservation Is only
of that power which is consistent
with the grant to congress.
at is to assert that the exercise
Of the legislative judgment in de-
termining what shall be the carriers
charge for the interstate service ia
itself subject to the carriers will.
But this statewide authority con-
trols the carrier and Is not controll-
ed by it; and the idea that the
power Of the state to fix reasonable
rates for its internal traffic is limit
I'D by the mere action Of the carrier
In laying an interstate rate to places
across the states border Is foreign
to our Jurisprudence.
''If this authority Of the state be
Restricted, It must be by, virtue Of
the paramount power Of congress
over interstate commerce and its
instruments; and in view of the
nature of the subject, a limitation
may not be implied because Of a
dormant federal power, that is, one
Mhich has not been exerted, but can
only be found in the actual exer-
else of federal control in such mea-
sure as to exclude this action by the
state which otherwise would clear

RAINS HELP
KANSAS WHEAT
State Employment Bureau to Ask
for More Men.
NINETEEN THOUSAND NEEDED
Call Is Sent Out TOday-HeaViest
Demand Comes from South
west COmties-Usual
Wages Paid.
NINETEEN THOUSAND NEEDED

Topeka, June 6.-The state free
employment bureau today announc-
ed that $4,000 men will be needed
to harvest the Kansas wheat crop
this year. This is just about the
usual call. Early in the season 1t
looked as If an unusually large
number of harvest hands would be
required in Kansas this year. But
the dry weather has damaged the
crop to an extent. However, the
average number of hands will be
needed and the rains Of the past two
days may have so benefited the
situation that still more may have
to be called for.
The call for hands issued by the
free employment bureau today says
in part:
Wheat cutting begins in Sum-
ner, Harper and perhaps one or two
other southern Kansas counties the
last of this week and the first OF
next week. In the following coun-
ties harvest will begin from June
~ to 1S: Edwards, Kingman, Rice,
Pratt, Reno, Stafford, Sedgwick,
Harvey, Mcpherson. Present indica-
lions are that harvest will be start
ed in all of the counties Of the state
with the exception Of those in the
extreme northwest, before July 1.
'Wages for single hands will no
where be lower than 50 day and
board, and in most counties $3.50
day. Men with teams are needed
in most of the counties where there
is a large acreage of wheat. Not
nearly so many men as usual will
be needed in Barton, Pawnee, Ford
and Edwards counties, wheat having
been badly hurt in these counties by
dry, hot weather. In the neighbor-
hood of Great Bend few men will
be needed, but the wheat is much
better in the northern part OF Bar
ton county, Stafford, Pratt, Kiowa,
Kingman, Mcpherson, Rice and Reno
will all need extra men, estimates
being 1000 will be needed in Pratt
1000 in Stafford county,
900 in Kiowa, 400 in Kingman,
1000 in Mcpherson, 500 in Rice and
300 in Reno. Smaller numbers will
be needed in Clark, Barber, Gray |
and Comanche.
"The biggest demand for hands in
he 1918 harvest will be in Ellis,
Ellsworth, Lincoln, Mitch
III, Osborne, Smith, Phillips, Rocks,
Decatur and Rawlins coun-
les. Ellis calls for 1000 men, Raw
ms and Rocks each for a like num-
yer and large numbers are needed
in all of the other northwestern
named"

Utilities Commission Says IL VIII
Hurt Small Dealer.
is CAUSE FOR CAR SHORTAGE
Railroads Wanted 70 Increase Min
imum Weight from $4,000
to $4,000 Pounds to Help
Car Shortage.

Topeka, June 10.-The Kansas
public utilities commission today
denied the application of the rail-
roads Of Kansas to increase the
minimum carload weights on grain
products, salt, cement and a num-
Der of other commodities. The COM
mission held that 1t would do more
harm than good II the application
were allowed, and that the increase
would work hardship on the small
dealer and handicap him in his
struggle with the large dealer, be-
cause the present minimum OF these
commodities is the maximum amount
that the small dealer can handle.
The application for the increase
was made by the Santa Fe on be-
half of itself and all the other roads
in Kansas. 1t was asked that the
minimum carload weight be increas-
ed from $4,000 pounds, the present
minimum, to a minimum OF 10000
pounds. The railroads contended
that this would be a great factor IN
relieving the car shortage troubles,
pointing out that at present many
cars are loaded to but one-third Of
their capacity.
considering only the operation
of the railroads" says the opinion,
there could be but one side to the
question, but there is another side
the side of the small dealers
throughout the state. 1t is clear
from the evidence before US, that
the present minimum carload, SO
far as the commodities in question
are concerned, is the maximum
amount that these small dealers can
handle; It is the maximum amount
they are able to sell, and any in
crease in the minimum carload lot
would deprive these dealers OF the
carload freight rate, and still fur
Their handicap them in their strug-
gle with the larger dealers. 1t has
been suggested to us that the ten
dency in the business world for larg-
er units, for larger dealers and
larger transactions is irresistible
and that this tendency will prevail
in spite of courts and commissions.
This may be true. It will, sooner
or later, require the carriers to
load their cars to the maximum
carrying capacity. 1t may be that
the laws Of modern business WILL
sooner or later, eliminate the army
of small dealers and concentrate
the entire business Of the country
in the hands of few big dealers,
but If the small dealer must be
eliminated, we prefer to let 1t be
done by the evolution of business,
rather than by the order OF this
commission"
The commission finds four causes
for the annual car shortage:
Failure of the carriers to add to
their equipment proportionately
with the increase of freight tonnage.
Failure Of the carriers to secure
maximum use of such equipment as
they have.
The practice df consignees in us
ing cars for storage purposes.
The practice of farmers in selling
their grain from the machine.
The commission says that the
question of car shortage has been
up before the interstate commerce
and most of the state
commissions. "After reading prac-
tically everything that has been
said," says the commission, 1--WE
are unable to discover single sug-
gestion that points to remedy"
