Business tactics successful half a
century ago will not do now. The
big towns are trying to grab the trade
of the small towns. With bargain
sales, big catalogs and interurbans
they are achieving success. Merch-
ants of small towns must be up and
doing if they would not jose their
trade. They must meet the big
merchant Of the big city at his own
game Or 60 under.

ulous prices demanded by Wine, Women and Song" which figure in the luxuries of high living to a greater extent than ever in the larger cities than ever before in the larger cities. But now there IS a real and valid reason for those who have complaints, since the prices paid to producers of meat animals Tn the United States advanced three per cent during the month from July 15 to August 15. Sugar has also materially advanced, but the breakfast food people patriotic ally advertise that they propose to keep down the prices of their goods. It may be after all that the actual food values have in some instances important bear ing upon the high cost of living, although as a general rule too much emphasis cannot be laid upon the fact that the reason why things cost so much more than formerly is largely due to the demand of the people them selves for more luxuries and comforts than their parents ever dreamed would be possible ex- cept for those who were very rich.

person who might be anxious upon the subject. But there are still other guarantees of religious freedom. Our state constitution provides in Article 20, First Or dinance, Perfect tolerance of of religious sentiment shall be secured to every inhabitant of this state, and no inhabitant of this state shall ever be molested in person or property on account of his or her mode of religious worship.'
 Again, Article II, Section 3, declares: ''The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land" The first amendment to that document provides, Congress shall make no law respecting our establish ment of religion Or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. /"
 From each and all these con- alterations. it would seem that the sacramental use of wines was amply safe-guarded. It seems clear that the object. and, if adopted, the application of the proposed amendment will be not in restraint of religious wor- ship. but in prohibition of the beverage liquor traffic.

Naturally the news from Mex leo is not of a rosy hue. but 1t is certain that the quarrel between Carranza and Villa is not as seri- ous as has been pictured, and even though the two chiefs oc- casionally have their quarrels. there is not much likelihood but that they will eventually sub merge their differences and pull together for the good of Mexico. The plundeping of Mexico has long held up prizes which have instigated the trouble makers, and if Carranza arises above the level of the petty graffers. our interference in his behalf will have been worth while, and the American people can forgive some of his peppery replies to our suggestions as to what should be his course in Mexico. The United States has always been as anxious to get out of Vera Cruz as the Mexicans have been to have us leave.

Several weeks ago Representa- tive Underwood. leader of the majority of the House, declared that the subject of national pro- hibition must be taken directly before the lower House of Con- gress, and it's members were thrown into something of a panic. Underwood usually does what he says, and whether he was a party to it or not, a way was found by which certain leg islation could be utilized to keep the calendar full, so that the members were not compelled to either discuss or vote upon pro- hibition. That is the way they all wanted it.

President Wilson has invested $50 in a bale of cotton. The Bale of Cotton Club" is sort of emergency institution result ing from the strain caused by the European war. The cotton growers are having a hard time of it, and their initiative in ere ating public sentiment in their behalf may be followed by ''Bushel of Wheat Clubs" or Pound of Slrloin" fraternities. In the upset conditions involved in our foreign commerce, the American people will indulge in a sort of get gether reunion, and it is altogether likely, as a result, that a good many things that our people have thought it necessary to buy abroad will be listed as staple American pro- ducts. While there is consider able depression in many com mercial lines, there is. on the other hand. a genuine boom Tn many other productions. Things are evening up." and although 1t is necessary to raise additional revenues for the government by emergency measures, yet men who are far-sighted can figure out Tn immense profits in peace for the American manufacturer and merchant, while our less for tunate brothers across the At lantic are already suffering from the ravages of war.

That Prohibition Amendment
 Concerning the Sacrament

A doubt has been raised as to the possibility of legal admins tration of the Sacrament of the Lords Supper, if the proposed prohibition amendment is adopt ed. It has been called a yelled attack on certain churches. " While the charge is made by some who have little concern for the Sacrament, and seems to make an unfair appeal to reli- gious prejudice, yet conscienti- ous persons have been disturbed by it, and the more so because first reading the language of the proposed amendment g1ves color to the charge.
 Let me say as a membe of the convention that launched this movement, that there was no de- sign on the part of the conyen- ton to raise any religious issue, but rather an earnest purpose to avoid all partisan or sectarian friction.
 Judge A. C. Baker, formerly supreme judge of the territory, has written an opinion citing au- thorities, citing that laws are to be construed in accord with their intent, which, in this case, was with no purpose or intent to legislate against against reli- zion. l" His closing sentence is There is not the remotest dan ger of any court Tn this state holding that the amendment. if adopted. will interfere with or affect the use of wine at Holy Eucharist or Holy Communion. !"

MRS. DOROTHY HELMERS.

AT the family home in Ellin-
wood, Thursday morning, Decem
ber 3, 1914, occurred the death of
Mrs. Dorothy Louise HelmerS,
wife Of Mr.. August HelmerS. The
end came very sudden, as Mrs,
HelmerS on Wednesday was in
attendance at the Missionary So
ciety and took her usual leading
part in the proceedings of the
meeting, leading in the singing
and other parts of the program,
and was enjoying her usual good
health.
Deceased was born in Han
over, Germany, April s, 1916. She
came to America in 1866 and was
married to August HelmerS in
Jackson county Ohio, in 1871. She
with her husband, came to Kan
SaS, settling in Stafford county in
1883, where they resirded until ten
years ago, when they came to this
city, where they have since made
their home.
Six children blessed this union,
five of whom survive their mo-
ther, one dying in infancy. The
survivors are Mrs. Emma Schroe-
der of Hutchinson, Mrs. John
Swartz and Henry HeImers of
Hudson, Kansas, George HelmerS
of Turon, Kansas. and William
who has been away from home
for some time and whose where
aboutS at the present time are
not definitely known. There are
fifteen grandchildren also left to
mourn the death of this grand and
good lady.
This untimely ending Of one
Of the community'S most respect
ed ladies makes the death the
more sad. To be stricken and Ia
ken TO The Great Beyond without
the slightest warning is indeed
sad and hard for the SOrrowing
relatives TO realize.
Mrs. HeImers was for many
years faithful and consistent
member of the Methodist church
doing whatever she found to do
always willing and ready TO aSSiSI
in the advancement Of her church
and the true Christian life which
she so long lived has been a shin.

that make up the Thanksgiving
dinner, they met at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. G. Eveleigh at
Boyd, and proceeded to the coun-
try home of Mr.. and Mrs. Sette
near HOiSington. For the first
time in the history of the family
the father and twelve children
were seated at the table together.
This was merry meeting. The
time being spent in recalling
childish prankS, etc. The after
noon was spent in music and con-
verSation. A picture of the fam
lily group was taken. All declar-
ed it to be one of the happieSt
of Thanksgiving days.
1t has well been said: THE
greatest American woman is the
one who does her own work and
rearS a large family of sons and
daughters to be useful members
of society" Such being The case
as she faced her family at the ta-
Bile, the mother surely had reason
to feel proud of being one of the
greatest of American women.
