The recent big war loan, the largest in the
history of governmental borrowings, was the
occasion for another tremendous advertising

VOYAGE TO MAINLAND

Oswald A. Steven. erstwhile local

Mr. Steven.

Only my own business, that's all,

SHOULD Bulgaria accomplish the

Constantinople,' the Guardian con-
tinues, "a very grave change will have
come over the complexion of the war
in this zone, region where far
reaching result might be achieved by
the allies with relative speed an econ
omy- The strategical initiative must
not be frittered away by faith in
meaningless hopes or fear of resolute
action"
Special dispatches from Petrograd
all speak of the Improvement of the
Russian position, although there has
been no noteworthy change on the
eastern front for some days. With
the exception of some ground lost, the
British on the western front are cling

Dun'S Review.

New York, Oct. 2.-Dun's Review
says:
Success of the foreign loan negotia-
tions foreshadows a further extern
sion of American enterprise and en-
phasizes the position occupied by this
country in international finance.
With constructive factors multiply
ing prospects steadily brighten and
actual gains in business are now more
in keeping with the growth of opti-
mistic sentiment.
Almost without exception, reports
from the leading centers tell of aceu-
mulating evidences of progress and
only in isolated cases, such as in the
fest.
Development of fall business is ex-
ceeding expectations in some quarters
and expanding requirements are fea-
ture in the dry goods markets, which
are buoyant in response to the rapid
rise in raw cotton.
Though the dye stuff shortage con-
tinues a handicap, the textile situation
generally shows distinct improve
ment.
Pressure on the steel mills is so
great that producers are chiefly con-
cerned with the problem of making
deliveries, conditions in this respect
being further complicated by the re-
cent rash of railroad equipment
orders.
The industrial boom is not alone
confined to the east It has spread to
the west end south and IN the latter
section manufacturing plants that
have been idle for years are resuming-

bership of Organization.
Well Known Politicians Are In
cIuded in the Roll.

KansanS who never owned horse
or a COW or a chicken are now be-
coming active, working, paid in adj
vance members of the Anti-Horse
Thief association. The new converts
do not worry about catching the thief
who stole a spawned mule from a
farmer in Sweet Glover township.
There is a new crusade for the or
ganization. 1t has undertaken the
task of running down the automobile
thieves.
In the good old days Of Populisn.
and the Farmers Alliance and when
Mary Ellen Lease was in her element,
Kansas farmers knew the pass word
to the A. H T. A. and they hunted
horse thieves with dogs and guns.
Once in a long time-not in Kansas, of
course-a misguided horse thief was
hanged to a sapling, that his sins
might be a lesson to his brethren.
Now the thieves in Kansas do not
steal hOrseS-eXcept in rare and ex-
treme instances. Now they steal mo-
torcycles and six cylinder motor cars.
So the membership of the A. H T.
A. is presenting many, many new
faces. The membership IS no longer
confined to the sturdy farmers and
the men in the rural districts. The
new A. H. T. A. is an organization of
the men on the paved streets and I'm
the fashionable residence districts of
the larger towns OF the state. These
men are helping to support the or
ganiZation that the organization may
protect their automobiles.
Live in Cities Now.
In Topeka today c. r. Hare of
Coffeyville, state organizer for the
Horse Thief Protective association,
declared that more than half of the
total membership lived in the towns
and cities of Kansas.
Twenty-Five AUTOMOBILES are stolen
in Kansas as compared to the theft
of one horse said Hare. THAT is
the reason the town and city man is
becoming interested in the organiza-
tiOn.''
Governor Capper; w. E. Davis.
state auditor; S. M. Brewster. attor-
ney general; ]. T. Botkin, secretary
of state; and other heads of state de-
partments are now full fledged, loyal,
working members Of the Anti-Horsc
Thief association. During a conven-
ton of the state association in Topeka
several years ago, w. r. Stubbs, J. N.
Dolley, Arthur Capper, George H.
Hodges and a score of other well
known politicians were in the meet
ing.
Possibly they figured the political
benefits from n membership IN the or
ganization. But they also looked to
the association for the protection of
their big automobiles.
