AS to the proposed stock law, it
can be said that several of our citi-
zens oppose such a law, while there
are some in favor of the measure.
If the measure becomes a law those
whose who favor it can tell us how
they like it after the law has been
tried. We oppose it for the simple
reason that it would be detrimental
to the greater number of people who
are not able to keep their stock up.
That is the way we look at the
matter.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured


by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that Is by conSttu-
tional remedies. Deafness Is caus-
ed by an innamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube Is innamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when 1t Is
entirely closed, deafness Is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube
restored t o Its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by

Losses.

Losses are only relative. That. is to
say, the amount of the loss in dollars
and cents is not so important as its rela-
ton to what one has left after the loss.
The man WHO'S worth a million dollars,
for instance, loses half his fortune He
still has half million dollars left.
Another man puts in patch of corn,
and cultivates it until it is knee-high-
when it is too late to plant another crop.
The storms come and the rains fall and
the little patch of corn is washed down
the hillside. The fellow has nothing
left. The winters food supply was
wrapped up in the success of that patch
of corn. 1t will be hard struggle now,
until next summer. Is not this mans
loss much greater than that sustained
by the millionaire?
There would be less complaining
about losses, if people would consider
them as only relative-and compute
what they have left rather than the
amount which was lost Most of US are
very rich any way. Certainly we are
very rich if we have health and an op-
portunity to work-and a friend or two.
So, in the nature of things, we cannot
sustain such great losses, unless we
lose our health or our friends The half
of our worldly fortune is lost, or ou1
little patch of corn is washed down the
hillside, but we have much left. The
struggle may be little harder, Despair
may rear its head in the ofing, but
when we take stock of what is left tc
US, we shall find that there is still some
thing worth while, something to sustain
US through the following years

Hays, Kansas, August 5.-As tri-
butte to community music which the
Fort Hays Kansas Normal School is
bringing to Western Kansas the new
Sheridan Coliseum for which the last
legislature appropriated 500, 900 is to
contain $4,000 pipe organ obtained
as gift from the alumni and friends
of the Normal School.
The idea of helping establish bands,
choruses, and orchestras in the COM
munities of Western Kansas which
Prof. H. E. Malloy, head of the de-
partment of music, inaugurated last
October, has so taken hold of the peo-
pie that $3.50 has already been
pledged toward the pipe organ.
President w. A. Lewis, of the Nor
NAL, in putting the proposition to the
alumni, said: ''There is certain man,
whose name I am as yet not permitted
to use, who will give SO, 900 toward a
! $50, 900 pipe organ for Sheridan Coli
scum. There is another man who will
give Sc, 900 if we can raise an additional
5000" Superintendent Louis Chris
tiansen, president of the Fort Hays
Alumni Association, has pledged the
support of the alumni to any plans
which President Lewis will suggest.
1.-THE Fort Hays Normal is the musical
mecca of this half of Kansas said
Superintendent Christensen, land
there are enough music lovers in Yves
tern Kansas to insure securing this pipe
organ
"a great pipe organ is the king OF
instruments and we can center around
it much of our work for the develop
ment and cultivation of musical tastes
in Western Kansas, said Professor
Malloy
In the opinion of Superintendent
Christensen, President Lewis and Pro-
fessor Malloy the pipe organ is an as
sured fact because SIS, 900 has already
been pledged.

The United States Navy

People who have become alarmed by
the agitation concerning the unprepar-
edness of this country for defense, and
because of the wild talk about the
steady deterioration of our navy, may
find something to interest them in the
announcement made recently by the bu-
reau of construction of the navy. There
are nearing completion for the United
States navy thirteen submarines, ten
destroyers and several auxiliary crafts;
all, with the exception of two of the
submarines, more than 80 per cent COM
pleted. Two superdreadnaughts, the
Idaho and the Missouri, are under con-
struction and the keel of the California
is to be laid soon. The superdread-
naught Arizona was launched last week
in the Brooklyn navy yard. It's sister
ships, the Oklahoma, now SO per cent
completed; the Nevada, go per cent
completed, and the Pennsylvania, II per
cent completed, are expected to take
the water within the year. In case OF
emergency the Oklahoma and Nevada,
five of the destroyers and six of the
submarines could be rushed to compile
ton and placed in commission on short
order. The four superdreadnaughts
alone represent 125, 900 tons and the de-
stroyers and submarines are among the
finest of their type ever designed
