BOARD APPROVES
MICHIGAN SEWER
Modify Plans to Cut Original
Length From South to La
sale to From Monroe to La
sale.

Business men and property holders
along Michigan St, were practically
assured Tuesday night that the Michi-
gan St sewer would be installed as a
part of the board of works activities
for the current year. The matter was
given the approval of the board at its
regular Tuesday night meeting, and
although the plans were modified and,
confined TO a smaller scale than was
originally planned, the business Sec
ton of the city will be benefited by
the move.
The original plans and the essence
OF several petitions filed with the
board contained arguments for the
new sewer to extend from South st.
to Lasalle av.. but the decision of the
board last night cut off the south
block and as is now planned, the
sewer will extend only from Monroe
St to Lasalle av.
The Improvement will cost the city
approximately $4,000, and since the
installation of the sewer means a re-
paving of the street, it is believed that
in the next two years, all improves
ments on the citys principal thOr-i
oughfare will aggregate at least $110,-
600. /
Bids for the construction of the
sewer will be accepted and the con-
tract for the work will be let about
May IS. according to the present plans
of the board.
The resolution providing for a pipe
sewer on Dale av. from Duba1l st.
to Dayton St, was adopted Nv the
board, as was the resolution providing
for the construction Of pavement on
F'uerbringer st. from Sherman av. TO
Cottage Grove av. The public hear
ing on the pavement will be held i'm
May.

ana av. be widened between Corey av.

The interest taken in the movement, the
country over, to make the Fourth of July
"Americanization Day. has been encourag-
ing. Events of the past few months have
caused speculation as to the real attitude OF
the foreign-born American citizen toward
the country of his adoption, in the contln-
gency of controversy with the country OF his
nativity The conduct of these citizens,
whose citizenship has been due to their own
choosing rather than to the fortune OF birth,
has been reassuring to those of us who have
believed that United States assimilates the
immigrant and that he becomes, not a
tthyphenated'' American, but an American
The movement to observe Independence
Day as Characterization Day" this year
was in harmony with the spirit Of the c1t1-
zens who have made plain to the world their
LOYALTY to the land of their adoption, with
out Disgusting their affection for the land
where their cradles stood 1t would be fit
ting that Fourth of July be observed as
Characterization Day. each year, at least
in all communities where there are large
bodies of foreign-born residents. 1t could
be made a patriotic call to all citizens,
American-born and foreign-born alike,
adults and children, to rally to American
ideals, purposes, and common interests OF
many peoples united into one Nation SUCH
an observance of Independence Day should
to emphasize that every foreign
speaking person in America should learn
English by attending the public schools, be-
cause the English language IS the master
key to American opportunities and lie, ana
the first step to real citizenship; that every
illiterate immigrant should learn to read
and write so that he can read American
newspapers and attend personally to his
business matters; and that adults and chill
dren, native and foreign born, be given civic
training so that every one in our country
will understand the functions OF our Govern
ment, the principles of democracy and Tor
what America stands In this way the
Fourth of July may be made not only a
celebration of our independence, but day
for Strengthening the American spirit OF

Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1915-07-17

An Eastern advertising agency has made
a suggestion to Kansas that is worthy OF
very serious consideration. Citizens OF sis
ter states sometimes have been SIMPLY
enough to suggest that Kansas blows too
much about how much she produces The
advertising agency suggests that Kansas
does not blow her own horn enough as to
what she produces, not SO much with refer
enee to the quantity of our production as to
the quality. In other words, it is the idea
of these specialists in advertising that Kan
sas producers would profit from concen-
trated effort to popularize and establish
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1915-07-17

The State Labor Commissioner who one
time set out to prove that farming in Kan
sas does not pay probably not the first
of his line Certainly he was not the last.
Every now and then public attention is at
tracted by some 'hgurer" who proves that
agriculture is Improbable despite the steady
increases in deposits in country banks, and
the constant elevation in the standards of
rural life. For long time this writer in
c1ined to the notion that the "hgurers" who
seek always to prove that farming is los
ing business were just foolish. However,
our attention has been attracted to an agri-
cultural bulletin entitled Farm Records"
that has convinced us that our former con-
c1usion was uncharitab1e. 1t is their system
of bookkeeping that is at fault; it is their
Interpretation of farm records that leads
them so far from the facts This bulletin
points out that farm records must be prop
er1y interpreted to be of value, and that they
may prove a positive detriment to the
farmer who interprets them wrongly and
acts on his Interpretation. One danger OF
misinterpretation arises from the fact that
often accounts with individual farm enter
prises and with the farm whole are not
studied from the same point of view, or are
studied from a point of view that does not
measure their true relation agents OF
gain. The bulletin spoken OF, discusses a
lowing way: There are three modes OF
measuring the relative proftableness of farm
businesses, involving, respectively, the find
ing of Cd the farm income, (2) the farmer {
labor income, and 90 the farm profit The
farm income is the amount left from the
farm receipts after paying all the farm ex
penses: the labor income, what is left after
interest on the farm capital IS deducted iron
the farm income; and the farm proht the
balance remaining after a fair allowance to-
the labor of the farmer is deducted from the
labor income. In other words, farm income

come is balance expenditures and in
terest, and farm profit is balance over
penditures and interest and the farmers
own time. Of these three the labor income
has been found to give the best index as to
the net result of the years work. 1t stands
for what the farmer has produced by farm
ing or putting capital to work in agriculture
Capital alone can earn interest, and all that
the farmer can claim to have produced by
his efforts is what he has made over and
above what his capital would have earned
if safely invested. It therefore seems plain
that the most accurate point of view from
which to study and interpret the farm rec
ords is their contribution to the labor in

Tom Botkin, Secretary of State has been
given tip by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, that he should not be
slow to follow, even though it is but varla-
ton of the philosophy of "Unc1e Cyl Leland
eff you can't lick em, jine EN- Through
four years of service Secretary of State
Charlie Sessions battled with the dandelions
on the state house lawn at Topeka, unsuc-
cessfully. So far apparent results are
concerned, Sessions might well have di-
rected his attention to encouraging the dan
delions. They licked him to a standsti1l
Undeterred by the experiences of his prede-
cessor in office, Botkin started out last
spring in fresh campaign against the dan
delions, loud in promises of his purpose to
eradicate the plants from the capitol square.
Most Topeka people agree that Botkin, like
Sessions, has been licked. A recent bulletin
of the Department Of Agriculture suggests
the cultivation of the dandel1on a drug
plant. The bulletin declares: 'Under fav-
orable conditions, yields at the rate of 600
to 500 pounds of dry roots to the acre
have been obtained from second-year plants.
The price usually varies from four to ten
cents pound The suggestion affords
great opportunity for the Secretary of State
in these days Of business administration OF
the state government, when state officials
earnestly searching for new sources OF
public revenue Botkin can't lick the dan
delions; he might help to reduce taxes if he
would cine 'em." The State House lawn
comprises some twenty acres. If dandelions,
under conditions that are only favorable,
produce 800 pounds of dry roots to the
acre, the State House dandelion field should
produce at least 5000 pounds to the acre,
or a total of 100000 pounds. At prevailing
prices, this crop would produce a tidy reve-
nue. The Secretary of State should try to
market, rather than murder, the dande1ions
What constitutes military preparedness?
England's experience during recent months
indicates that it does not lie entirely in the
development of armed forces trained for field
service. Troops in the field without ord
nance are in the way-as England has
learned in Flanders Germany contends,
with much reason that American industrial
plants, just now engaged in the manufacture
of ordnance, contribute materially to the
strength of English military operations. IF
it be true that American industries are so
equipped and organized that they may turn
out tremendous quantities of ordnance is
it true that United States is so entirely lack
ing in preparedness, from military stand
point, after all?

Kansas products in Eastern markets. Con-
corning the quality of Kansas products
there is no question, but the point is that
the world gets too much merchandise from
Kansas without knowing where it comes
from. No state produces more of the food
supply of the world than does Kansas; no
other state contributes much to the
worlds flour supply as does Kansas. Still
Northwestern flour, even though Kansas
wheat is used to mill it, has more reputa-
ton than Kansas flour. All the markets
know of Wisconsin and New York cheese,
California fruits, Colorado canteloupes.
They are established in the markets as to
quality Is it not practical for produc-
ers to take concentrated action that will es-
tablish our products in much the same way !?
Some of the shrewdest advertising in
the world are convinced that it is.

CONSTRUCTOR OTTERSON'S
RESIGNATION ACCEPTED
Secretary Daniels Permits Another
Officer to Seek More Remunerative
Service Than q. s. Navy.

Immediately following his acceptance
of the resignation of Naval Constructor
William E. Ferguson Secretary Daniels
accepted the resignation of Naval Con-
structor John E. Otterson. These off,
GERS have been offered positions with
private shipbuilding companies at SAL
aries far exceeding their pay as Off
GERS in the navy.
Legal experts of the navy hold that
the President may use his discretion
in accepting or rejecting designations
of any officers. but Mr.. Daniels de-
cided that Constructors Ferguson and
Otterson should be permitted to leave
the service because they had fulfilled
agreements to serve at least eight
years entered into when they entered
the Naval Academy. The Secretary said
that while he had followed long line
of precedents in accepting the resigna-
tions of the two naval constructors, he
was strongly of the opinion that it can
not be legally maintained that any
officer who voluntarily accepts a COM
mission in the navy has the legal right
to demand the acceptance of his resig-
nation.

CARRANzA TO FOLLOW

Hopes to Establish Government OF

by Great Statesman.
Extended Interview Detailing What
He Hopes for Taken as BID
for Recognition.

VERA CRUZ, July 15.-Assertng
that the constitutionalists are endeav-
oring to establish in Mexico a govern
ment along the lines advocated by
Thomas Jefferson and comparing Presi-
dent Wilson to Jefferson. Nenustiano
Carranza, first chief of the constitu-
tionalists. has given out an extended
interview which is regarded here as
bid for recognition of the constitu-
tionalists by the United States. Cen
Carranza pointed to the reoccupation
of Mexico City by the constitutional
lists and his plan for an orderly gov
ernment there as the basis for Ameri-
can support.
We feel that we are entitled to the
sympathy of the American government
in all We are trying to do, said Gen
Carranza. We have such faith in the
democratic purpose of President Will
son that we are confident he will give
to the constitutionalist party his whole

state of efficiency of his command. If
men ON military duty, pursuant to or
ders, can be ordered off military duty
by civil officer, an intolerable situa-
tion must result.
1t was set forth that the conflict
which the battery commander now
seeks to bring to final issue has been
waged between the National Guard of
the District of Columbia and the di-
rector of the bureau of engraving and
printing for years. And 1t was added,
while the government of the United
States is seeking to build up an eff-
cient militia and while private employ
ers are being urged to give military
leave to their employees, it is discredit-
a Bile that a federal bureau chief should
be permitted to maintain a hostile at
titude toward the militia"
Solution of Controversy.
The solution of the controversy was
embodied fn the letter of Franklin Nc
Veagh, Secretary of the Treasury. un-
der date of June 10. 1912
1t reads as follows
MY dear Capt shannon: have
your communication of the Sd instant
and the papers submitted, in regard to
the authority to order the employees OF
the bureau of engraving and printing
to report for target practice In cases
where such employees cannot we'll be
spared from their duties in the bureau.
l agree that the statute relating to the
militia is mandatory ana nave called
the matter to the attention of the di-
rector of the bureau. | would suggest,
however. that as a matter of admin
istrative propriety. not inconsistent
with the intention and purpose of the
statutes, reasonable notice. when prac-
ticable. ought to be given of the pro-
posed order, so that any Inconvenience
of compliance may he obviated as far
as possible"
Since then. il is said. instead of frlc-
ton, there has been the heartiest CO.
on the part of both civil AMI
military officers in the matter of mill
itary leaves for government employees
in the District of Columbia.
